Casa Xochimilco

Very clean and a friendly staff that was very helpful

The room had horrible windows with no fresh air circulation. And we had to pay in cash!

Lovely, peaceful residential neighborhood with cobbled streets, art murals, and mountain views. It was about a 15-minute walk to the center. The staff were respectful and kind, anticipating our needs. It felt like we were staying with family but with the privacy of our suite. It was perfect for us, and we would definitely want to return here for our next Oaxacan adventure. The mattress was not as new/comfortable as what one would expect in a luxury hotel. Also, opening windows and turning on a fan is needed to combat the July heat. Still, we managed to stay comfortable.

The room was a bit cramped and I believe they had better rooms available which weren't offered to us, even at an additional cost.

Very good

The location was great. I stayed here during Day of the Dead celebrations - its a safe neighbourhood, with local activities and street parties (and is an alternative to Centro, which is really only 15 min walk away). Also some great local cafes. The accomodation is basic, but clean and comfortable, helpful staff with daily room service, and a great verandah.

The location, in a nice quiet neighbourhood close to the center. The house is really cute, with a really nice terrace. The owners are really nice and helpful. N/a

The staff and owner were very helpful and kind. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low. The water was nice and hot though.

Very good

15 minutes walk to the center, very welcoming and helpful staff, they would suggest you things to do or places to visit and they will help you with anything related. Plus the pillows were really really comfortable! Na.

The nice helpful and the place was clean. The place is more like a hostal than a hotel. There was no AC,but the host gave us extra fans.

the property looks ok as a traditional house. the bed wasn’t confortable, the room wasn’t spacious the washroom was super small and they have a sharing kitchen just beside the room that all the smells and noises from others guests make uncomfortable stay.

location and looks like a house!

The owner was super nice and helpful. Whenever we asked him something whether about the hotel, a tour, the city, a taxi or anything else, he always did everything to help us. We would come back anytime. Theres also a nice terraza to chill on the rooftop.

There was nothing I liked about the hotel. During the day, the hotel being situated just on the edge of town, was very quiet. The following reflects my experience only. I am puzzled by the high rating of this place. I sometimes find that single travellers get dumped in any old room. This is certainly how it felt. The window was blocked by some staircase; natural light was virtually absent. The room was so small , it made me feel depressed especially given there was no natural light. One third of the space was taken up by a kitchenette which was so old it looked as if it were installed in the seventies or before. The pots and pans were old and so thoroughly used, you wouldn’t even pick them up in a second hand or charity shop. The sheets and bedding were so old that any pattern on the sheets had almost disappeared; they were so thin that I cannot see how they could possibly absorb the normal body heat and sweat of a sleeping person. Such sheets had no business on beds which people pay to sleep on. Even as rags, which these sheets were fit for, they would have a one-use shelf life. It felt unclean sleeping in the bed; I slept on top with jogging trousers. The front of the toilet bowl was so close to the wall that I was unable to stand up unless my legs sat astride the bowl. The shower head was immovable because some calcium compound had fixed it stiff. Last thing , and the only one of my complaints which the owner of the hotel is In no position to address , were the neighbours’ incessant barking dogs for half the night. I think in the end I fell asleep through exhaustion, think to myself « how can anyone sleep in this neighbourhood » mind boggling.

This is the cutest hotel ever. Every wall is painted and decorated and the roof top terrace is amazing. The rooms are simple and not very modern, but for us that was fine. The family who runs it are very kind and can tell you a lot about Oaxaca. The hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, with lots of nice street art. You can walk to the centre in 10 mins. The water pressure it not very constant so it will take a while to have a shower.
