Boutique Hotel Casa Cid de León

Location & staff

Steep stairs up 3 floors to our room

This charming but slightly quirky small hotel was an ideal place from which to visit Oaxaca. It is located between the Zocala and the trendier tourist streets with great restaurants. The room was huge and decorated with lots of interesting items. It is from at least the 1500s, with thick walls and lots of religious art and icons. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our room had no windows as it was at the back of the building on the first floor, but was very quiet and well-lit. The wifi was strong and fast. There were a large TV and small refrigerator, which we did not use. It helps if one speaks a bit of Spanish, but it's not necessary. I would definitely stay here again, but maybe in one of the other rooms with windows.

Beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Central Oaxaca. Walking distance to amazing restaurants and historical properties . The employees are very friendly and helpful. The design of the rooms is breathtaking. The beds are super comfortable. I have never slept so well, in my entire life .

The hotel has a Spanish style feel to it. Each room is unique, charming, and very comfortable. We made full use of the terrace. Diego, bartender, was a star with his awesome drinks. The ladies preparing our delicious meals and desserts were very welcoming and most attentive to our requests.

The hotel is centrally located. Easy walk to just about every tourist location. Good restaurants in the area.

We very much enjoyed our stay! Wish we could give it 4.5. The staff-particularly in the restaurant- was wonderful. So accommodating and friendly. The location is excellent. Our room was great. Comfortable and everything you’d need. A little noisy because it’s on a busy street. Why do people honk so much here? 😊Definitely recommend.

Very unique rooms with antique tea sets and chandeliers, making it feel like you are in another era. It was overall very fun experience. Accommodations sometimes were not immediately obvious, but the staff is super nice, very accommodating and all our wants were mot. Also we had a rental car and there is no assigned parking or valet, but the staff made sure we had a place to park in front every day. It just took a bit of maneuvering.

What a charming and original and soulful hotel. The people that work here could not be kinder and more attentive. The rooms are large and original and infused with the Charm of the owner. We came during the off season and they upgraded us to a larger room (complimentary). The location of this hotel is exceptional….only one block from the town center and the best restaurants and art in the city. Breakfast in the morning was great and the rooftop lounge area was also perfect. The family that owns this lovely hotel has put a great deal of love and soul into this jewel of a hotel. One more thing….we have been in Mexico for over a month during this ‘slow season’…I recommend this season (July and Aug) without hesitation. It’s slower, the weather is good, the prices and crowds lower. Come to Mexico during this time.

Treated like family in this gem of a hotel. Just an amazing experience all around!

The staff is amazing and the atmosphere of the place is very relax
