Hotel in zona Comunidad Oaxaca, Oaxaca

We loved the Hotel Escondido Oaxaca – the location was excellent and the Escondido was a welcome shelter at the end of each long day of touring. The city views from the rooftop bar were a huge bonus. The decor was contemporary, yet the colors and style drew directly from Oaxaca – the greens in the room were very much reminiscent of the cantera verde found virtually everywhere in Centro. We were pleased at how private our room was, despite the fact that our balcony room overlooked a shared courtyard. Of course, when the rooms were occupied below, sometimes it didn't register for the patio room guests that their voices would carry so clearly to the upper floors of the courtyard. Our balcony room was small and could have used a few more hooks, but there was ample, creative storage in the entryway closets. More hangers would have been useful, as we were at the hotel for a week. It rained nearly every afternoon and parts of most nights, which was fantastic due to room's open walls. It was also handy that we could close them, given the noise of the cantina across the street during Oaxaca Pride. I will note that Oaxaca is a city and overall is very noisy. If you're sensitive to noise, pack ear plugs! The hotel service was excellent, with a doorman greeting us at the front entrance 24/7 and a nearly invisible cleaning staff taking care of our room each day. We closed out our room credit card the night before due to the early hour of our departure, but didn't expect the time to register with the desk clerk. We were pleasantly surprised to find the doorman waiting outside our door at 4:15 a.m. to carry our bags out for our 4:30 a.m. hotel departure.

I really liked the charm of this hotel as it’s situated in an old colonial building with a courtyard complete with a small swimming pool. The rooms are basic but air conditioned, which is an essential in Oaxaca! Breakfast is served on a lovely roof terrace; the perfect way to start the day and relax in the morning sun. What’s more, the hotel is very centrally located making it the perfect hub for exploring.

This hotel was top notch. The concierge Andrea Leon Leunig was wonderful! I was in contact with her prior to the trip to schedule a driver and when I finally met her, she was as helpful, accommodating and gracious as she was over email. The driver was even amazing because he was so charming and helpful! Their spa was fabulous. I loved it so much that I went 2 days in a row and honestly would have if I stayed longer. Haydee Cortes was absolutely phenomenal and highly recommend to make an appointment with her for any body treatments. She was extremely professional and a true master of her craft. I will recommend this hotel to friends and will for sure come back and stay there.

The hotel is great, very comfortable, clean and well designed. Its centrally located and has quick access to most attractions in the city. HOWEVER, they had the brilliant idea to hire a musical group that plays marimba from 9am to 11:30am and would not let us sleep. We were a group of about 20 guests visiting for a wedding and therefore would need to be able to rest in the morning. We all had our sleep disrupted by this music. After the first night I complained to the manager bitterly and asked him to please consider their guests capacity to rest. He responded that this music was part of the hotel’s breakfast experience and he would be playing the music. Again it did not allow us to sleep in the morning. We also had a bad experience with room service. For this reason I consider the experience 1/5 because the service is terrible. It is unbelievable to me that a hotel would bot consider the needs of their guests. We were 20 and all had the same complaint. I hope this comment serves to help then reconsider the decisions they make regarding music in the mornings.

è un hotel molto carino. L'unico problema è il servizio, i camerieri impiegavano un'eternità per portare il cibo e anche il servizio in camera era molto lento.
