The FLORENTHINA'S House

Internally facing rooms with screened windows make the rooms quiet! This is a rarity in the area.

No indoor place to sit outside of the room.

The sympathy of the hostess in trying to make the most of a simple premise. She's kind and helpful. The place is 500m from all the buzz but in a calm area full of nice and affordable "comedores" to have breakfast and lunch.

The bed could be bigger, the door of the bathroom is 190 cm, which can be a problem specially if you are tall and distracted.

This is a locally owned and operated hotel with a spacious room and nice rooftop space with a table and chairs. One of the most famous taco stands is a few blocks away, and the locals in the neighborhood are kind. The Mercado de Merced is right around the corner, and shops are open with varying hours. The zocalo is a 15 minute walk. It’s quiet at night. I slept great and the shower had good pressure with hot water. There are requests a conventional hotel won’t have: turn off AC when not present, and not to flush the toilet paper. Again this is an indigenous owner who does her own grounds keeping and housekeeping. Loved the personal touch of supporting local.

The owner is super nice. She helped with everything. there was a demonstration when we arrived and she called to help us out

The area feels a bit shady at night. There were barely any people

Very central location but silent and close to main restaurants and touristic places.

The furniture is quite basic, though the bed and the mattress seem to be new and in very good conditions.

The tranquility of the guesthouse. And the friendliness of the host. Proprietress Senora Carmen and her son invited me to drink mescal in the cool evening at the second floor alfresco terrace, and also to teatime hot Oaxaca chocolate. She speaks enough English to narrate about life in Oaxaca. The hotel is just one block from the Mercado Merced.

The location was great. You can easily walk around Oaxaca. The host was very friendly and gave some recommendations. She even offered us some tea that she grows herself. All in all a great experience and would highly recommend!

Really clean! Great location and amazing host!

The place is very spacious and the location is perfect. Carmen is an amazing host, she recommended us nice places in town, helped us with so much information and was always available to our queries. The location is simply perfect, you are at walking distance from the city center and the colorful district of Jatlaco. The terrace is perfect to relax and chill. I would absolutely recommend this place!
