What an absolutely wonderful hotel! The entire staff was so warm and welcoming. The room was clean and spacious, along with a big modern bathroom. The restaurant offered so many delicious options, and the staff there made us feel like family. And the location is absolutely perfect. If I’m ever fortunate enough to visit Oaxaca again, this is definitely where I’ll stay!

It seems as though Expedia already wrote my review. Yes, the staff were wonderful and the room spotless. So, what stood out? The location is absolutely SUPERB. It was next to the beautiful Church and large plaza as well as bordering the Zocalo. Everything happens at the Zocalo. Facing the primary entrance to the hotel, to your right, across the Zocalo, is a large Government building. On the First floor is a huge mural depicting Oaxacan history form the early indigenes only period to colonialism. You may not agree with the subject matter but it is impossible to not appreciate the art. Again, everything goes on in or around the Zocalo and the Hotel Margues del Valle borders the Zocalo. We will go back.

My main issue is that staff followed us into our room one night asking about the number of people in the room. Our friend was with us briefly after being separated from her partner that night (she was staying at the hotel too on a different floor but didn’t have her key). Staff should not be following people or monitoring who can enter a room THAT I PAID FOR. Ridiculous to violate our privacy in this way.

Weirdly, you are unable to allow a friend to visit you at the hotel. They only allow registered guests in the room. We wanted to have a quick drink with friends in our room as we prepped to go out but the hotel wouldn’t allow anyone in. I’ve never had that restriction anywhere else in the world

This property is in the middle of the zocalo so you are in the middle of everything, now for how expensive this hotel is , because believe is really expensive in mexican pesos is crazy expensive for what you get, the hotel beds are so hard like rocks, the rooms do not have a refrigerator and if you go in hot spring/summer days you will need ice bucket to put your water bottles to get cold at least ,the hotel is too old so do not have any amenities , no gym, no pool, hotels near by have more to give than this hotel for the same prices, also keep in mind that you will hear noise from the music of all around the zocalo square until 1am , so if you are a night person is perfect but if you want to go to sleep around 9pm
Good luck with that, you will be listening to music until late night, so the only positive is that the staff all the ladies are the nicest ladies super nice staff but remember you only interact with staff if you need so . I wish this hotel does a better job making it a better or same standards as all the other hotels around it.

This was our second stay at Hotel Marques del Valle and we enjoyed it as much as the first. The hotel staff is wonderful, friendly, efficient, pleasant. We prefer the west side (front) of the hotel with a view of both the cathedral and Zocalo Plaza. The Plaza is filled with music and sometime dancing Friday-Sunday so it is a noisy until 10-12pm but with windows closed, you can stil sleep. This time we had 3 people so got a corner Jr. Suite, however the 3rd bed not really ideal as in the entry area. We prefer the room facing west with one or two beds depending on needs, and 3rd floor or higher. The first floor is at the 2nd level so if you prefer to take the stairs, then the 1st or 2nd floor might be preferable. The restaurant on the 2nd floor is excellent for breakfast. Located in centro, the hotel is within a 10-12 minute walk of most attractions and cabs are available in front of the Cathedral if needed. Enjoy your stay in Oaxaca on Zocalo Plaza.

Nice hotel overlooking the Zocalo, so u will get the noise from the area. Prices tend to be too high but it's clean & comfortable. We only had a small issue with the water leaking out through a hole onto the bathroom floor. I was given the wrong room in the back of the hotel when I had booked a park/square view & when I asked to change rooms the receptionist was hesitant which made no sense as the hotel was half empty.

New Years eve in Oaxaca in a great Hotel.

All the staff were wonderful. It was in a perfect location right on the Zocalo where all the NewYear's activities were going on and easy access to a lot of the historic sites, restaurants, arts and crafts, food stores and the two major historic markets. The only downsides are the tile floor in the shower is very slippery and the beds are not comfortable. The hotel is a historic building which is well maintained. We loved would stay there again.

Very, very, loud performance on the zocalo and I didn’t realize that we would be right above it. My room faced the singer/stage and light show. When we checked in, the front desk folks warned me about the performance but, when asked, did not change my room to a quieter, backside of the hotel. I’ll be back to Oaxaca but will never stay here again.

The hotel was clean & in a great location, right on zocalo, loads of restaurants, felt safe, mercado 20 noviembre is an easy walk. The taxi rank is an easy walk but be aware that as you are right on zocalo you need to carry, wheel your luggage to the hotel - maybe 2 minute walk from closest drop off, over cobblestones. Be sure to ask to be dropped off at the statues. The staff on checking out took our luggage to the pick up point for us. Wifi was good. The hotel itself is quiet but the noise from zocalo is quite loud at times, music every day from early (6am, although we would start to really hear it from 745) until 930pm, didn’t bother us as we enjoyed the atmosphere.

This was my second stay in the hotel and I chose to stay here again specifically because of its location on the Zocalo. It is in the heart of the action, liveliness, and culture that is Oaxaca. Most nights outside are a kind of party. That said, the hotel has done a great job of soundproofing to reduce the noise for its guests (there are also cheaper inside rooms whose windows open to the interior courtyard and are quieter).

The rooms are simple and clean and a good value. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant offers very good breakfasts at a fair price.

We spent half of our Oaxaca stay at this hotel and half at a much more expensive (luxury) hotel close to the Templo de Santo Domingo. We preferred Marques del Valle. My 11 year old son fell in love with Oaxaca largely because of his time at the hotel and in the Zocalo.

This hotel is great!

A Very Noisy Convent!

This hotel sells itself as a former convent; guests are staying in an historical spot when lodging here. Its buildings and grounds are immaculate and its staff very attentive. That said, during our stay the atmosphere was anything but quiet and calm. The hotel seems to be trying to do too much for too many different types of groups and functions. It wants to cater to wealthy guests (its prices are excessive for Oaxaca) and provide peace and quiet while also trying to cater to conventions and their far less quiet needs and activities.

During our stay in mid-March, the hotel was hosting a convention. The tiny lobby was full of convention-goers and the old chapel was the site of many of the conference sessions. Anyone nearby—at the pool, in the lobby, in the restaurant—had to listen to hours of amplified voices discussing business. The hotel used one of the courtyards (directly outside of our room) for an evening reception with live music and lots of drinking. It was, in short, a loud party that went on until very late at night. The conventioneers then were in a tent in another courtyard the next day for hours of more amplified droning. All of this meant that our stay—a splurge for a big birthday—was far from relaxing.

There is also the big issue of value. The hotel is extremely expensive in terms of lodging and food for a city like Oaxaca. It’s simply not worth the price.

The hotel is centrally located and only a few steps away from restaurants, shopping centers, entertainment and anything you need. With that comes a lot of noise activity from the events/entertainment (music, restaurants ext.). If you want a quite night you wont find that until early after the night life stops..

Aside from that the location is excellent.
As personal preference the beds where a bit too hard and the room we had could have used a bit of a paint walls looked old and a bit dirty.

One other thing I didn’t like is the shower pressure was too hard. The water hurts when it hits your skin it’s manageable but couldn’t use the shower for my youngest kids only baths. If it wasn’t for those two things I would rate 10 out of 10.

Also the internet is basically nonfunctional unless you sit in the hallway. Other than that the rooms are basic but clean with a view of the Zocalo. The location is right on the Zocalo so for our stay for Semana Santa it was constant loud music day and night. The hotel restaurant was pleasant and reasonably priced and the staff very pleasant.
