Guest Reviews
- MARCO (8/5): MUY ESTRECHA LA HABITACION - la ubicacion bien, no tuve oportunidad de probar alimentos muy mala la señal del internet
- Larissa (9/5): -
- Claudia Ximena (8/5): Muy recomendado!!! - Las instalaciones son muy lindas y tiene una excelente ubicación a unos cuantos pasos del jardín botánico y del templo de santo domingo Las habitaciones son pequeñas y solo tuvimos un tema con el aire acondicionado de una de ellas que no enfriaba pero si hicieron los ajustes para que funcionara un poco mejor
- Marek (5/5): It was ok, the location was great, but the bathroom made the stay annoying. - The location is great. The bathroom has many issues, toilet does not flush properly, the bathroom faucet barely runs, shower is weak.
When you are paying more than a 100 GBP per night, you expect the bathroom to work properly.
- Annya (9/5): - Excelente ubicación y estaba limpio. Las habitaciones cómodas. Un poco ruido de las otras habitaciones, pero no molestaba.
- Herrera (9/5): -
- Karyn (8/5): Was a great location, in heritage building. Alejandro was fantastic! - Loved the location close to central part of historic centre of Oaxaca but quiet rooms. Alejandro was amazing host - Very helpful & great restaurant & activity recommendations. Lovely rooftop area for morning coffee/tea. That the bedrooms only ‘window’ was covered, faced into reception area & wasn’t able to be opened for fresh air. Would have also appreciated access to tea/coffee making at times other than first thing in the morning.
- Tina (7/5): Nice Location - The hotel has a great location and the staff were friendly. There was a nice rooftop area with coffee in the morning that adds to the overall experience. My room faced the main street, which made it noisier than I would have liked.
- Stelios (6/5): - Wet good location and polite staff You can hear everything from your room, especially if you get one in the 1st floor. Also if you are more than 1.80 check for another room, the bed was pretty small
- Maria Jose (6/5): Buena ubicación, revisar bien descripción - La cercanía de varios puntos de interés Había poca presión en el baño y cuando nos bañábamos se iba el agua, hace falta más iluminación en el cuarto
- Zabdiel (10/5): - Great location and very friendly staff
- Alexandros (7/5): -
- ZAMUDIO - VILLALON (10/5): - La ubicación
- JUAN CARLOS (9/5): -
- Rodrigo (10/5): Excelente, muy tranquilo, central y el personal amable. - Si, muy acogedor y central. No hay servicio de desayuno
- Ana (10/5): -
- Tom (10/5): A great property to consider for both location and price when you’re in Oaxaca. - Great location, everything on our itinerary was within walking distance.
Friendly, Helpful staff. Gabriella in particular was very helpful and friendly. Overall great experience.
- Thomas (8/5): Perfect location, central and quiet - Location is ideal, just steps from the Santo Domingo area, but on a quieter side street, minimal noise inside. The property has an overall nice character but could use some updating. The rooftop terrace and free coffee is nice. Rooms were kept clean daily. No major complaints, but the quality of the rooms and amenities are rather basic for the price. The listing said our room would have a microwave and minibar but it did not. Staff were cordial and available when needed but didn’t really go out of their way, were usually just behind the desk on their cellphones, not the best impression.
- Mariela (10/5): -
- Annette (10/5): -
- FABIO (7/5): Ottima posizione ma non buona accoglienza - Posizione incredibile molto vicino a tutto Un po scura e poco accogliente
- Maria Fernanda (9/5): -
- Joseph (10/5): - The staff was friendly. We arrived a few hours before checking, but they let us store our bags at the the front office. Wile the room was getting ready. The room was great. Bathroom was great. Had water jar and glass for us. Only one thing if I have to say. In the shower where you place the shampoo conditioner bodywash. The bottom fell out and the containers fell. But that's it.
- Luis Sebastian (2/5): -
- Gale (10/5): -
- Aquino Mendoza (8/5): Podría mejorar - Que esta cercas del centro y varios lugares de interés Que pongan cuadros de un cristo en las habitaciones y que no tengan room service..
Ya que no cuentan con restaurante pero se podria utilizar perfectamente la terraza para poder comer un snack sencillo , algun refresco
- Ana (8/5): - Ubicación

Hotel y muy ruidosos

- Lauren (8/5): - The location is excellent for exploring the centre of Oaxaca. Despite the proximity to the centre the room was pretty quiet at night as we were at the back of the hotel. The room was well serviced. The bathroom is extremely small making it difficult to close the door and there was nowhere to put our stuff or to hang up towels.
- felipe javier (5/5): - Ubicacion y aire acondicionado Mi cuarto no tenia ventana a lo mejor era porque daba a planta baja, para ser hitel.boutique hay otros mejores. me.parece que.el hotel de enfrentes estaba mejor y con buen precio ademas con restaurante, mas economico
- Miguel (10/5): -
- Xaman (9/5): Super ubicación! - La ubicación es excelente y las instalaciones super limpias La cama es un poco pequeña pero es muy cómoda
- Patrick (7/5): Enjoyed the staff and the location very much - Location, building A bit dated, beds were very uncomfortable
- ayala (7/5): -
- Itzel (9/5): -
- Kim (7/5): Quiet but central location, great staff , bright airy ,very comfortable and nicely decorated rooms - Full of character ,quirky layout and decoration. Staff helpful and welcoming, Great location right up near the cathedral within a few minutes walk of the main tourist areas . We had a deluxe double which was great with a little private balcony seating area, huge super king bed and nicely decorated bathroom. Quiet and cool within and even though central it is located on a quiet side street. Plenty of breakfast options from right outside the door. We had no problems or dislikes but there are a couple of things that could affect others. It is a very old building in an old part of town which we loved but there are a lot of stairs with twists and turns to get up to second floor. Not a problem for us but could be tricky for anyone with mobility issues. Toilet paper could not be flushed and had to be put in small bin which is emptied daily when the room was serviced. This is not unusual in most of the older hotel buildings around Oaxaca due to the ancient sewer system and we had experienced it it other places.
- Olga (8/5): -
- Emma (6/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): Great location, comfortable room - The location was great to explore Oaxaca, close to everything and very walkable. Felt very safe in this area as a solo traveller the room and bathroom were a good size. Slightly loud aircon but other than that great stay.
- HmbrtoCrn73 (10/5): - Muy cerca de Santo Domingo y rápido acceso a las zona centro y zona peatonal, a la vez retirado del bullicio, se descanso bien, y estaba seguro los alrededores, habitación de buen tamaño y comida. Todo bien
- Agata (9/5): - Klimatyczny hotel z ładnym wystrojem wnętrz. Personel był bardzo miły i pomocny. Na górze hotelu duży taraz na którym można posiedzieć. Słaby internet
- Jesus Fco. (10/5): comodo - bien ubicado todo bien
- Sasikanth (10/5): Great place for the value especialy during Dia de Muertos - This is a great property and super friendly staff, I would stay again. Its in a great location walkable to pretty much all over the central. Did not notice any noice especially during Dia de Muertos. Only thing to mention wifi was not string where our room was, it was strong at the front door but not in the bed room but it was not mandatory for us since prefer without network especially in Oaxaca. Nothing to mention.
- Natalia (9/5): -
- Jose antonio (9/5): - La ubicación Tamaño de recamara
- María del Rocío (9/5): Ubicación excelente. Habitaciones muy bonitas pero pequeñas. - La ubicación, la decoración, y el servicio del personal, súper amables en todo momento. Habitaciones pequeñas y no hay mucho lugar para poner cosas o guardar cosas.

- Blanca (10/5): Espectaculares, instalaciones, ubicación y personal, atento y amable dispuesto ayudarnos en lo que sea necesario para ha - El alojamiento impecable, de limpieza, ubicación y con una terraza excepcional en la parte superior. El personal, súper amable y acogedor nos ayudó a planificar las excursiones alrededor de la capital, a conseguir un taxi para el aeropuerto, etc. incluso nos ayudaron con las explicaciones para poder seguir los desfiles de la Guelaguetza . No podría decir ningún inconveniente?
- William (8/5): Can't beat the location. - Location. Alejandro, the front desk guy.
Terrace is nice. Room was small, as was bathroom. Some of the finishes need refurbishing.
- Dathu (8/5): - Super convenient and staffs are so helpful and friendly.
- Ismar (7/5): Good -
- Yesenia (10/5): - Our stay was great. Very clean and very spacious rooms. The only negative was the wifi, but overall nice hotel.
- patricia (10/5): - This was a really wonderful and gorgeous little hotel within a stones throw from the plaza of Santa Domingo cathedral. It has a lovely roof-top terrace to enjoy cool evening breezes with views over the town. It is close to restaurants and other sites of interest. The hotel patron/host was really friendly and helpful and communicated well in English. I would highly recommend this hotel. Excellent value for money!
- Dana (8/5): Very good -
- Marcela (8/5): Was a comfortable and nice experience - Location!!!! Not coffe-bar at late night
- Ruth (9/5): Very nice hotel in a very good location in Oaxaca - Fantastic location just a block away from the Santo Domingo Church and the Museo de las Culturas. Across the street is the pricey but very good Tierra del Sol restaurant and a block further was Pan:am Abosolo where we had very good breakfast. The hotel was very quaint, decorated with church items. They did not serve breakfast at the hotel but there is coffee on the terrace and a microwave. On our first morning, we had an early start for a tour, so we got bread and pastries at Tierra del Sol and had them with coffee at the terrace. Alejandro and his team were very accommodating. The bed was a bit too high, it was kind of difficult for me to get on it, but it was comfortable.
- Daisy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Russell (10/5): One of the best vacations we have had and a lot had to do with our accommodations at Casa de los Frailes. Will - The property was in an excellent location with easy walking access to restaurants, shopping and churches. The decor of the property was religious which was very comforting. The rooms were all unique and we loved the roof terrace with the coffee and tea bar and comfortable patio tables. Our king suite also had its own terrace with a patio tables and umbrella. The bathroom was also very nice in our room. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and there were front desk staff available all day. The only drawback for this visit and it wasn’t a bad thing is that they are remodeling some of the guest suites so there was construction noise and dust during the day while we were staying there. The good news is that on our next visit, we will have more nice rooms to choose from.
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maria (6/5): - We got a no window room Nos dieron una habitación sin ventana, con una puerta que no aísla y adicionalmente una baño demasiado pequeño.
Poco amable la gerencia para ayudar con el check in.
- Eva (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lillian (8/5): - The hotel was in a really great location. The AC worked well, and gave us a nice break from the heat midday. The only downfalls were a musty smell in the room and firm beds.
- Laura (8/5): Very good - The hotel was clean, comfortable and very well located
- Daniela (6/5): - Amazing location but thats it! Very bad internet and cellphone reception. Floors were HyPER dirty. You can see nobody cleans them. Our white socks were grey by walking there. Be aware that the rate is much lower on property than in Expedia
- Elizondo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jose (9/5): Superb -
- Brian (10/5): Excellent. Location Staff Room - People were so friendly at the hotel
- John (10/5): - A very nice place to stay.
Rooms are comfortable and well appointed the ac is great ! We will return
- Emma (6/5): - The location of this property is excellent and the main reason we chose it.
As described the property doesn't have a restaurant or a lift so if you have luggage you may need to request a ground floor room.
The property is traditional with cute little courtyards and a terrace.
They definitely like the "Friar" theme and go all in with lots of religious iconography everywhere!!
We didn't have the need for much interaction with the staff but seemed pleasant.
- Pawel (7/5): Great value in heart of Oaxaca - Great location in the heart of Oaxaca. Unbeatable value! The bed was a bit narrow for two people, room was quite dark. We couldn’t use the safe since it was blocked.
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carlos (10/5): A pleasant stay in the heart of Oaxaca! - It was clean, spacious, and very central!
- Armando (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fiona (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in
Very helpful and friendly
- Jorge (5/5): Passable - Dirt on stairs, unclean WC upon arrival, very low water pressure, limited hot water
- Ewa (9/5): Charming stay in the perfect location. - Beautiful space in a top location. Big comfortable rooms, super friendly and helpful staff. The property was quite pricey compared with other, similar places we stayed at.

- Thomas (9/5): Superb - The decor of the hotel was very nice. Religious artifacts helped to create an ambiance worthy of "friales." The manager Alejandro (?) was outstanding. He was very friendly, spoke good English and was very helpful and accommodating. The rooftop patio was delight The morning coffee was not ready at the posted time
- William (10/5): - Rooms are spacious. Staff very personable. Great location
