Casa de las Palmas Guest House

The guesthouse was near many restaurants and cafes.

I’m TRAUMATIZED by this place. When we entered our room, we noticed it was DIRTY. Hairs everywhere, lizard poop in the sink (photo attached), smelly towels and dust. We politely asked for a small cleanup and change of towels and the owner responded us “no podemos cumplir todos sus detalles”. He told us we was going to clean it up but never did it. Later during the week, I found a cockroach in the shower when I was showering. We were honestly afraid to ask for anything because anytime we would talk to the owner he would nag us. We used the same dirty and smelly towels the entire stay and didn’t feel at ease sleeping in the dirty sheets. It was such a relief to finally leave this place after only 4 nights that felt like an eternity.

The is a great guesthouse. It is very clean, the room is spacious, bed is comfortable, sheets and towels are clean. Air conditioning works well and in May we definitely needed it. The shower has hot water, but is very sensitive to temperature adjustments so don't turn the taps too far too soon. The location is great, close to the plaza but in a nice, safe, quiet area. Although there was a loud convert one night but it sounded far away and could probably be heard everywhere. The host is very nice and helpful.It was nice to have a coffee maker, fridge and microwave.

Ricardo and his parents are very hospitable, thanks to them! I was allowed to arrive earlier. The apartments are clean, cozy, everything is done very conveniently. The location is very good, you can quickly walk to the center. Next time I will definitely stay here.

Lovely hosts. Big room overlooking a courtyard . Actually had a rail and shelf to put clothes on , I haven't had anywhere to hang clothes in a lot of places ! Big desk, tv and great WiFi. There is a ceiling fan but it was a heat wave and I was feeling unwell, Ricardo kindly brought me another fan which helped me so much . I deliberately picked a quiet area of the city . But everything was within 10-20 mins walk . Once I was in the room I couldn't hear any traffic , bliss ! The only noise unfortunately was an inconsiderate neighbour constantly slamming his door despite all the notices to be considerate ...... some people are oblivious to others !!!!! Ricardo booked me a taxi to the airport which was 250 pesos, much cheaper than any of the quotes I had .

Ricardo and everyone else I encountered at Casa de las Palmas was friendly and helpful and made me feel very welcome. The room was comfortable and quiet and the shower was great! :) Muchas Gracias!

Nothing

The room is of decent size, with storage. Owners are responsive and gave me coffee, tea, oil, salt, and pepper. Water is provided. Fans provided are powerful enough to keep the room cool. Anyway Oaxaca is not so hot, just in the afternoon it gets hot. It cools down as the day goes by. As a solo female, I can sleep comfortably without air conditioner there. As described , 1km, 20 mins walk to town.

Shower needs renovation. I called the owner, he fixed it, it was acceptable after he fixed it. The room doesn't have air conditioner, may not be suitable for a big fat guys.
