Hotel Oaxaca Mágico

staff is friendly and internet worked

loud noise from passing cars; loud noise from people/staff in the hallway; loud noise from the neighbour's bathroom ventilation; windows facing the central hallway, no wall so less privavy; tiny bathroom, door bumps against the toilet; bathroom stank of detergent and some light sewer smell; not cleaned well seeing the dust on the bathroom door; no mixer taps; overpriced; better find a hotel on a quieter street;

Pros: 1. Very clean room and hot water for shower available all the time. 2. Drinking water and coffee provided at the front desk 24 hours. Also, 2 bottles of water provided daily in your room. 3. 4 blocks of walking distance to the main square where the cathedral is located. 4. All rooms have air conditioning (we did not test it because it is winter time in December). 5. A mini-van (Colectivos) 7 or 12 passengers taking you to Monte Alban (Pyramids) less than 20 minutes for $50 Pesos (~$3 USD) per person one-way and these mini-vans located in the central, 1 1/2 blocks from the church (ask around as we do not remember the street name). Taxi costs $250 Pesos (~$15 USD) for 3 or 4 people from your hotel or central location. 6. Taxi costs $50 Pesos (~$3 USD) per person going to Mitla attraction.

Cons: 1. Bad location; the hotel is in front of a major street with bus stops and heavy traffic (lots of cars drive by). 2. NEVER take a triple room (3 single beds), it is the only room facing the street as mentioned above. It does not matter you are heavy or light sleeper, you will be waking up all night long. We timed it: the traffic died down at 12:18 AM and started again at 4:47 AM - that means you only have ~4 hours of sleep. 3. They moved us to the interior rooms the next day with smaller rooms and charged excessive $40 more per room each night. The inside rooms are better but the bathrooms are extremely small; whenever you open the bath door, it always hit the vanity sink. 4. No breakfast service available at this property. However, there are several restaurants around the corners. Also, there is a breakfast buffet restaurant only $80 Pesos (~5 USD) per person as of 12/18/23 which is very good deal. 5. None of them speaking English at the front desk so you need Google translator app.

Very busy/noisy street. Nightclub next door? Pipes clanged very loudly for a few hours one night. Guests were alarmed but not reassured/assisted

Staff is so helpful and the whole hotel is very clean.

Possibly a coffee or tea for free.

The location was very good, within walking distance of all oaxaca highlights

The bed was very hard

The location was fine, close to the city center.

The room and bathroom were very small, also the bed was very small for too people (small size people). There was no room for clothes. For the price they are charging, I would at least expect that.
