Guest Reviews
- Dirk (9/5): Prachtige locatie om te verblijven. - Prachtige locatie. Relaxte sfeer. Vriendelijk personeel. De wc's spoelen slecht door.
- Francisco Javier (9/5): -
- Lenny (7/5): I don’t think I would stay in an eco hotel again if hot water is the trade off. - The room that we got on our 2nd day had really high ceilings. The staff was very attentive. Hot water issues.
- john (9/5): City Resort - Great environment.
- Sharpe (10/5): -
- Jason (9/5): - Excellent value for money, nice, simple breakfast included. Was everything I needed and wanted for the brief stay.
- L (8/5): - The courtyard is very charming. Everything is spotlessly clean, and the location is excellent. There is a nice table to sit at outside by the room. The staff were responsive and helpful. Our room was very very small. A light shone through the window all night. I felt that for the size of the room there are better options available at a comparable price.
- Gonzalez (10/5): -
- Carolin (8/5): - Sehr gute Lage, top Frühstück! Sehr schönes Zimmer im Erdgeschoss! Toilette hat leider ein bisschen gerochen und das Wasser in der Dusche war leider kalt bzw. musste man es sehr lange laufen lassen, damit es warm wird.
- Silvia (9/5): Descanso en una ciudad - La atención del personal es siempre muy cálida y amable, atentos en todo momento Nada para señalar
- Helene (8/5): Excellent base to explore the city - Very pretty hotel, perfect location. Staff was great. The beds weren’t so comfortable and. because our room was close to the street it was a bit noisy with traffic.
- Estefania (5/5): No fue lo que esperaba - La ubicación era buena Honestamente para pagar más de $100 por noche en este establecimiento pensarías que la habitación y el hotel se encuentra en óptimas condiciones, no? Bueno la verdad en el cuarto había muuucho calor, las tuberías del lava manos apestaban, había una cubeta en el área de la ducha. No hacen limpieza todos los días, un día si un día no. No hay tanta privacidad porque la ventanita tenía unas cortinas demasiado delgadas que seguro se veía desde afuera un poco la habitación, y por último una chica que estaba creo que en recepción no fue nada amable.
- P (8/5): -
- Alex (10/5): Es un hotel lindisima y cerca al centro - Es muy linda N/a
- chikaomi (6/5): -
- Elena Fabra (10/5): -
- Nelida (10/5): Exceeded expectations, best deal in Oaxaca center. - The room was huge with refrigerator and stove top. It was the size of a large studio apartment. It was very clean. The price was low compared to others in same location. Parked my rental car down the street. Room felt a little humid at night, room does have a.c. not sure if I had the right settings.
- Karl Heinz (8/5): - N/A
- Maribel (10/5): Tranquilo y céntrico - Que está muy céntrico a cualquier lugar Deberían ofrecer variedad en el desayuno
Y el estacionamiento realmente si es un problema
- Maria (10/5): Very well located and with a parking just one block far - Very well located , the staff is very friendly I didn’t had breakfast there , I cannot give an opinion
- nancy (8/5): Good for 1 or 2 nights - Good location in town Quite dark inside
- Ellen (8/5): -
- Montse y Miguel (9/5): Una estancia muy agradable - La ubicación, el estilo de alojamiento, la tranquilidad, la limpieza, la amabilidad del personal.... Todo muy bien
- Jillian (6/5): Nice friendly option in the heart of Oaxaca - Location and staff were excellent. Lack of hot water.
- Joaquim (9/5): -
- reiko (9/5): Everything was lovely!!! - I had a wonderful time during my stay. The staff and guests were all so friendly, and I felt truly welcomed. My room included a refrigerator, which was very convenient for keeping food and drinks cold.
I met many travelers from around the world who shared stories about the city and their countries, making my experience even richer.
One important note for future guests: the gate closes after 11 p.m. I panicked a little when I returned late, but the security guard—a very kind man—showed me the bell so I could get inside. Thanks to his help, everything worked out smoothly.
Overall, it was a great stay filled with kindness, comfort, and connection. 🌟
- Lee (10/5): Wondering Paradise in the center of an interesting and vibrant town - The staff at this place are truly lovely, kind and helpful. It is like staying in a family place where so much care is given to the property and the guests.
We definitely plan to go back! When requesting a room, ask for one in the courtyard, which gets lots of sun and has beautiful gardens.
- Dorte (9/5): Preis-Leistung stimmt - Ruhiger großer Innenhof, der Lärm draußen lässt. Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Kleine Oase. Preis-Leistung gut. Ca 15 Minuten zu Fuß bis in die Innenstadt. Weil wir über booking.com gebucht haben, sagte die Rezeption, es sei keine tägliche Reinigung mit drin. Grundsätzlich könnte ich damit leben. Aber da kein Papier in der Toilette heruntergespült werden darf, gibt es eben diesen Mülleimer. Wurde aber auf unseren Wunsch hin täglich geleert.
- Smriti (9/5): - A peaceful, clean and well maintained hotel with a beautiful courtyard area. I also appreciated the drinking water that was provided in the room, saving the trouble of buying and carrying plastic bottles. The location was great, within walking distance to everything in centro and the historical area. I was also able to walk down from the ADO bus station, which was about 10 minutes away. My room was on the ground floor and didn't get a lot of natural light but it wasn't too much trouble since I was out for most of the day.
- Peter (8/5): -
- David (10/5): -
- Van Severen (10/5): - Fantastisch personeel!
- Peggy (7/5): The staff are very helpful- the location is excellent - we walked everywhere. - The bed was very hard. I felt like I was sleeping on a board.
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Aafke (8/5): -
- Elodie (8/5): -
- Arthur (10/5): - We enjoyed the very pleasant courtyards outside of the room. The staff were friendly and helpful. Quiet except for the occasional airplane. A short walk to Jalatlaco and the Ethnobotanical Garden. Good value. The room was a bit small and breakfast options were limited to bread, cornflakes and coffee. Parking in a nearby parking lot was pricey.
- GJ Moore (10/5): - The atmosphere in the courtyard was amazing. Not being able to put the used loo paper into the toilet.
- Till (10/5): Schönes Kleinod in Zentrumsnähe - Muy buena ubicación, hermoso patio, excelente atención por parte de todo el personal Los cuartos que dan a la calle Pino Suárez están algo ruidosos por el tráfico
- Cristian (10/5): - An excellent choice. The apartment was very spacious, the bed very comfortable and the staff very friendly.
- Diego (7/5): -
- Mary (8/5): -
- Karen (10/5): Stay at Las Mariposas - Cleanliness and beauty. Nothing
- dominique (10/5): - A very typical friendly beautiful hotel. Christelle, lucia are very helpful for everything including tourist information.
- keiji (10/5): -
- keiji (10/5): -
- Juan (9/5): - Lugar muy tranquilo y con hermosa de decoración.
Todo el personal muy amable. El acceso, se debe tocar timbre para poder reingresar al Hotel.
- Anne (9/5): Oaxaca est une très jolie ville. A découvrir - Chambre très pittoresque et hôtel très sympatique.
Très bien placé, près du centre. Chambre un peu sombre
Nos enfants avaient une chambre au rez de chaussé qui donnait sur la cours et comme il n'y avait pas de fenêtre, pas d'intimité.
- Perla (10/5): - Eco Hotel Las Mariposas was the best stay in Oaxaca! Walking distance so to many places to explore the city. The staff is superb and I appreciated the security of entering the building. It’s a beautiful hotel and I will be returning.
- Carl Mikael (6/5): - Quiet friendly staff. No hot water in the shower at 7am. Door locks didn't work properly.
- KOBAYASHI (8/5): まあ、よかった。 - 部屋がきれい。お水がある。
スタッフは親切 部屋にカが数匹いて、蚊取り線香を借りたが除去できず、最後までなやまされた。
部屋にTVがほしい。
- Dorothy Viviane (10/5): un hogar lejos del hogar - Me gusta mucho el servicio. No hay nada que no me gusta.
- Andres (6/5): - El ambiente del lugar, fácil para el encuentro con otros huéspedes. Habitación pequeña y con poca luz
- Jorge Enrique (10/5): - Was a good spot
- alejandro (8/5): -
- Robin (10/5): - Lovely historical building, lots of charm. we stayed in a room in the back. It was quiet and peaceful. The rooms may be on the small side, but comfortable and satisfactory. The location is near a major park and close to an emerging artistic neighborhood. coffee/tea and pan dulce each morning for all. Garden like setting and butterfly and eco awareness theme.
- Selva (7/5): -
- AYMERIC (10/5): Will come back for sure! - Everything! The place is very cute, calm, and well located (15’ walking from the main place). The owner is lovely and available for any question. Nothing
- Anel Cristina (10/5): - El lugar es muy confortable, con un plus del café y el pan por las mañanas.Solo recomendaría unas cortinas más gruesas y desayuno desde las 7, ya que salimos temprano a los tours. En general sería mi primera opción al regresar a Oaxaca.
- Melissa (8/5): -
- Loic (8/5): - Très jolie décoration. Calme et dans le centre.
Personnel souriant.
- Juan Enrique (10/5): - Muy bien todo excelente
- Rafal (6/5): - Great location
- Chris (7/5): Good -
- Erika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeffrey (8/5): Very good -
- Moises Tonatiuh (10/5): - Tuve una gran experiencia durante mi estancia.
Por lo visto, el hotel es operado por una familia que, además de atentos, son comprensivos y empáticos.
La limpieza es algo a destacar, al grado que preferí descalzarme dentro de la habitación; en la cual me fue posible DESCANSAR, hacer ejercicio y un poco de yoga, además de meditar (a ese grado de tranquilidad).
Sin duda es una joya que, estoy seguro, vas a disfrutar mucho, si decides quedarte solo, o con pareja.
Muchas gracias por todo a ambas Reynas y demás personal; mi error -pues pensé que había reservado otro espacio- se convirtió en una muy grata sorpresa.
- Thuy (10/5): Exceptional -
- rosa (4/5): - El costo no va con lo que ofrece esta propiedad el lugar es bueno por dónde se encuentra pero eso no basta para lo que ofrece y el costo no va
- Cheyne (10/5): Review - A unique property with old world charm. It is in a great location which makes all places of interest very walkable. It felt very safe as the property was gated and was very quiet. We were very happy with our stay.
- Mabel (10/5): - It was nice, like a piece of countryside in the city with its plants and patios.
- JUNYA (10/5): - The best point of this hotel is very beautiful courtyard inside of the hotel. The breakfast is very simple but if you have a breakfast in the courtyard, that's very comfortable. It seems that there is no air conditioner in my room but it was not problem during my staying season. The staffs are very good, clean room and good access to the center of the city.
- Rizza (10/5): Love it! - Everything! The place is amazing and the staff very welcoming and flexible with our requests Everything was perfect :)
- Kenneth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Besnik (9/5): Superb -
- Cristina (10/5): Little slice of heaven in the centre of Oaxaca - We liked everything, the people who run it are incredibly professional and cannot do any more for you, which feels pretty unique. The community feel at the common areas is palpable and makes your stay much more welcoming/shareable (you're not a stranger in a big hotel). The location is unmatched. Close to all cool places of interest but at the same time not noisy.
- Amelie (9/5): Superb -
- Cristian (10/5): Wonderful experience in Oaxaca! - Simply outstanding atmosphere, the staff kindness was a warm welcoming in my first trip to Oaxaca.
It’s perfect if you are travelling alone, since you will meet a community of very interesting guests who are choosing Las Mariposas since many years for their holidays in town.
The location is definitely one of the best, very close to the heart of Oaxaca, and despite that, at night my room was very silent and peaceful.
I couldn’t chose a better place to spend my vacation, and I will definitely come back in the future! I liked everything, really I can’t have a single negative comment.
- Tejeda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ernesto (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anni (10/5): Exceptional - very nice staff, comfortable rooms and beautiful garden. It is a place for longer stay for some elder people but they are very nice and friendly. Even if it is not reported you have breakfast offered and the nice common kitchen is useful if you stay longer.
- Itzel (9/5): Superb -
- Beth (8/5): Very good -
- Patricia (10/5): If you want a tranquil garden setting consider this wonderful lodging. Mostly older adult guests. - A wonderful peacful, place in an otherwise busy location. The staff is exceptional and I appreciated their committment to Eco-tourism. This is my new favorite place! I look forward to my next stay. I can't think of a single concern.
- William (10/5): Great place to relax after city exploring - The Mariposas is very popular with quite a few long term guests. With many public areas for outside seating it is a social place. The staff and management are excellent. My room was quiet and away from traffic. Kitchen available for guests. People might expect more from breakfast, but many nearby spots for hot breakfast. There was a drought so had to conserve water.
- Emmett (8/5): Overall a great spot to be in Oaxaca - Location was great. Room was clean. It was a joy to awake to hot coffee and pastries right out in the hotel courtyard. Check in was easy even for being late at night and they let us keep our bags at the office for a while. The bed was not winning any comfort points
- Eduardo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Farrah (10/5): - Oh my gosh I just loved it and was sad to leave. I was in Room D, at the back of the garden. Just the right size for me with loads of storage space. Liked the eco touches, like the bucket in the shower to save water as it warms up. Breakfast was cute and different every day. Felt very secure here. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Also. Lea the dog. Love her. Oh yeah and you can borrow a hat or an umbrella and store your luggage if you need to.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Positives are that the Hotel was nice - clean and aesthetically pleasing.
What was less good was that we arrived at 1:30am and waited 10 minutes outside in the cold before someone let us in even though it said reception was open until 3am.
Secondly, there was extremely loud building works in the building attached to the hotel room we stayed in. this was so loud it woke us up just before 8am i.e we only had 6 hours sleep. The tools the builders were hitting the wall with were so powerful that objects like picture frames on the walls of the hotel actually fell off on to the floor.
We complained about the noise to ask for a partial refund as no where in the hotel description did it mention the noise and the receptionist just said “yes this happens everyday from 8am - there is nothing we can do, sorry”. This was disappointing to say the least.
- Carlo (8/5): Great place to stay, clean, well located and friendly staff - Very green, clean and friendly staff Breakfast could be a bit better. However for the price it’s definitely worth it.
- David (9/5): Superb - Beautiful courtyards. Nice staff. Breakfast sure could use a bit of fruit.
- Victor (10/5): - I liked your facilities. I felt very good. Thank you.
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
- tim (4/5): - No laundry service. Old shower drip system. Breakfast limited to coffee and toast. Plenty of mosquitos inside the room at night despite best efforts to keep everything closed. thin mattresses on old beds. Convenient location in city center. Pleasant staff. Old villa with a couple of charming patios, but thats not enough to make me go back, even at a low price.
- Alexander (8/5): Very good -
- Omer (9/5): Superb -
- Karen (8/5): Charming, lovely ambiance. Great value. Just have some earplugs if the sound of traffic bothers you. - Beautiful courtyards, charming rooms. Very ecological. Clean with nice towels and linen.
Nice touches: loaner hats, umbrellas and bags. Although the property itself is very peaceful it is located on a busy street and you hear traffic almost all night.
- Anna (8/5): Very good -
- Brenda (10/5): Excelente lugar - Me encantó, tranquilidad total y un excelente servicio.. la ubicación, perfecta. Muy limpio todo. Seguro regresaría.
- Rocío (8/5): - Casa pintoresca, con bonitos detalles artesanales. El único inconveniente fue la regadera, que no le funcionaba el agua caliente.
