It was good, the only problem was getting the room that was on the main side road; the cars was very loud, it was our fault. The staffer offered us the backside, but we wanted to take the front, so next time we will take the backside if you want to get a very good rest.

You get what you pay for, and that’s not a bad thing. Room and hotel were clean, service was great, location is fantastic. Walls and doors are paper thing, so expect to hear most of what’s happening outside in the patio throughout the day - if you’re a napper, don’t expect much. TV didn’t work but I didn’t bother asking for it to be fixed as I didn’t need it. No safe in the room, which was a little strange. Wifi is not great, but it’s good for basic surfing.

Nice and quiet at night with no issues.

I was given a room when arrived. I requested to be changed to another room because of a stinky smell coming out of the bathroom like as it was a coverted sewer. The other room the next day also had the same fetid odor. I think is a whole facility problem. They should fix this problem because is very uncomfortable

Nice value and nice people.

Sweet little place with great people and quiet and safe. Was in a little more grittier part of histórico centro on the frunce but no issues. Three blocks from the zócalo. The only thing that annoyed me was they used some type of spray in the room that smelled like chemicals. I had a little cold and it irritated me so I told them no more room cleaning and it was fine. Very quiet even though right in the middle of noisy Oaxaca main road.

The front desk staff seemed very friendly and helpful. The public areas were clean and tidy.
The negative aspects were:
Excessive noise / loud conversations
No posted signs re. noise policy. In fact, there seemed to be no noise policy as the patio (ground floor level) allowed people well into the night (11:30pm) and really early in the morning (5:30am) The public areas of the hotel were *extremely* echoey and thus it was very important to have signs re. noise and loud conversations.
A minor negative> the rooms lacked \"do not disturb\" door knob signs to alert the room service staff.

The neighbourhood is, well Mexico, but it is only 3 blocks to the Zocalo, so an excellent location. If you are tall your knees may hit the wall when you sit on the toilet.

Centrally located with everything you need

The hotel is pretty central to everything, just a short walk to the zocalo and restaurants. The hotel is away from the city noise which is nice. The staff is really nice and helpful and the rooms are super clean. There are no luxuries, this hotel is very minimalist and the bed was a little hard. However, it was good for a short visit in Oaxaca and a safe distance to walk during the night.

This place was really wonderful. The outdoor space is nice and relaxing, staff is great, the cleaning staff cleaned the room to spotless every day. It’s pretty close to Mercado Benito Juárez and zocalo square (4-6 blocks) but a little far and a little dark to walk alone as a solo female. Although this is true for most cities. The shower had great hot water and pressure, the tv had tons of channels, both Mexican and American channels (in English). 2 small gripes: the mattress was very hard and extremely uncomfortable. Maybe some of the rooms have new mattresses, I’m not sure. I had a lot of hip and back pain and had trouble sleeping on it. Second, the door to the room had only one tiny lock on the knob which would have been very easy to break into. I’ve traveled extensively all over the world and never had a hotel that didn’t have a deadbolt or additional lock. Just a thought, but some added security would be nice.

Hidden gem in Centro

We have stayed in a lot of hotels in various Mexican cities and this has to be one of the best we have encountered. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable and the shower has tons of hot water and good pressure. The air conditioning works well and the staff is friendly. This hotel is close to all of the major attractions and I would say it is a Mexican 3 star hotel (the star system is a bit loose in Mexico lol). This place is small but gives you all you need. What more could you ask for? Don't ask my wife this question about anything...just kidding.

Clean place in a great location

Hotel was in a great location - away from the main crowds but still in the Centro. The rooms were super clean (GREAT cleaning staff) and the central patio was delightful. While it was helpful to have an elevator, it was pretty loud and could be heard at night (we used ear plugs). We enjoyed our stay and loved Cafe Alex, which is around the corner. Packed with locals, the food was plentiful and yummy.

This hotel is in a busy part of town. The staff were not very helpful. Two of the guys working the front desk were always in a bad mood and annoyed whenever I asked a question. I canceled my stay half way through the 8 days I had paid. The management agreed to refund me the nights, however, it’s been over two weeks and they haven’t do so. I tried reaching them through the Travelocity portal but they never replied. Stay at the Holiday Inn Express instead. It’s nicer and in a better part of town.

Great location and very clean with helpful staff. I read reviews that said it was noisy but we had no problem with noise. The only noise you could hear from our room were chirping birds in the morning - and we were there at the peak of día de los muertos. Room was a little small for two people and didn’t have much storage space (just closet). No hair dryer or safe. Our main problem was the bed was rock hard and very uncomfortable.

Better than just OK

Good hotel, just a little far from tourist areas, no safe in room, no ice machines. There was coffee/tea available 24/7 but no creamers/milk of any sort, have to drink black. Ok really but I think just a little overpriced, not yet a \"boutique\" status type hotel.

Nice and close

Me and my wife stayed in oaxaca for the day of the dead in happy express and was very convenient the location of the hotel, no more than 3 blocks away from the tourist places to visit like the markets and zocalo.
The place was clean and the staff was very friendly.

Ok as expected

Overall there was good and bad. Our friend was having their wedding during the day of the dead festivities. Finding a hotel no matter how far I booked was hard. Overall the hotel was clean and safe. The bed was like sleeping on a rock and the pillows were like sleeping with out pillows. The service was as expected, if I needed something I had to ask. Spotty amenities. I had to ask for a hair dryer and iron. There was no ironing board so I had to get creative. Overall it was as expected I don’t have anything bad to say I just wish I felt more comfortable.

Good Location

This is hotel is located within walking distance of zocalo, restaurants and shopping. The spacious room was located on the first floor. Beds were very comfortable. A few evenings during our stay it was very noisy until very late (12 am) in the common space located outside our room. We let management know but it happened one more evening. We were there for 8 days. The front desk staff were extremely helpful with directions, recommendations for meals, and tour arrangements. The room was cleaned everyday but sometimes lacking with a clean sink in the bathroom. As a female travelers, we felt very safe. Overall I would recommend this hotel. The price was right.

Good last-minute find!

Quite a bit of street noise in the evening, but quieted down after the busses stopped running. Otherwise a nice hotel a little bit removed from the main tourist area of Oaxaca.

La ubicación es excelente, a corta distancia de restaurantes y playa. La limpieza necesita ser mejorada.

Muy buena ubicación, hotel en buenas condiciones y limpio. Las habitaciones son pequeñas pero suficiente para una o dos personas. El aire acondicionado funcionaba correctamente. Muy buena presión de agua en el sanitario y regadera. El internet es pésimo, igual el ruido entra muy fácilmente a la habitación y se escucha todo, lo que dificulta dormir.

Los recepcionistas bien excepto el chico que cubre los domingos que es excelente. y un consejo no dejen nada de valor fuera de sus maletas mi esposa dejo un anillo en el buró por descuido y ya no lo encontró a nuestro regreso. Se reportó pero nunca se obtuvo por lo menos una disculpa
