Hotel Escondido Oaxaca

This was a fabulous hotel. We were talking today before we left how everyone looked after us like it was a family run hotel. We need to learn more Spanish because the staff were so apologetic when we didn't understand them. THe location is great fir a short walk into the peak areas for the parades and music. And our balcony room allowed a view of the sunrise and we could hear the music from Zocalo! I also benefited from the 25 min walk-up to Cerro el Fortin. Nice breakfast. Great cocktails. But simply lovely staff around the clock. We will be back.

The hotel is beautiful and well appointed. The staff is remarkable! So kind and gracious. They all took exceptional care of us and took pride in their work. We loved the morning breakfasts. The location is convenient to sites and shopping. We would gladly stay again!

This is a fine fine place to stay. The staff is warm and responsive, the room (with patio) was great, with a private patio that let light in almost like an artist. It is in a noisy part of downtown, but it quiets down a bit by 10 or 11 pm. The buffet breakfast was fresh, offered nice variety, and reminded us that we were no-longer in Michigan winter. Fabulous restaurants nearby. Our only not-so-positive thing is that the pool is quite small, and not heated. And the rooftop pool and lounge chairs can be quite noisy. But the terrific sun and warmth is worth it!

Beautiful architecture, friendly staff in a noisy corner. City hotel on a good location in beautiful Oaxaca. The level rooms around the patio have no views. Very small bathroom. It feels homely but we could not live with the street noise. Earplugs are provided and necessary. Good continental breakfast

First time in Oaxaca and I certainly look forward to going back. Hotel Escondido was a perfect place to stay, fairly central to the center of Oaxaca City and with excellent and friendly staff. the rooms are architecturally interesting and the courtyard offers a relaxed space to chill. A perfect base for exploring all that Oaxaca has to offer.

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.
