Hotels near Oaxaca Lending Library, Oaxaca

Very good very good very good

There was no front desk, but it was very good to answer questions at any time on WhatsApp. There is a small shop like a convenience store next door, which is very convenient.

Reading the reviews on different websites I can only say that I am sure the hotel reads those reviews too and works constantly to work to get better. The housekeeping knocked before entering, the breakfast was fresh and various over the days, the reception staff was very friendly and helpful, and the rooms have sheets and additional duvets if you feel cold. The hotel is outside of the town center, bear that in mind if you book touristic tours, the companies will not pick you up at the hotel, you have to make your way into town. Having said that, the hotel offers a free transfer service into town if you book it a day ahead. I loved the enormously spacious room, it was quiet though it was close to a main road. The view is lovely. I would recommend it to anyone and return on my next trip to Oaxaca.

The hotel is simple, small rooms but if you only need it to sleep it is excellent, it is very well located and the service is excellent both in front desk and in administrative staff, The hotel is a good place to go to my home state and you've got to go to my home state.

I never write reviews but felt it necessary to leave one for this place. We live in Oaxaca and were craving a bit of time away from our flat where we could work but also swim, relax and feel like we were on holiday. We had a wonderful stay in Hotel Victoria and it completely exceeded all our expectations! Our room was light, spacious and clean with an enormous bed, beautiful view and thoughtful finishing touches that make a hotel stay special, like takeaway coffee cups and towels/toilet paper folded into pretty shapes with love and attention. The hotel decoration was cute and authentically Mexican, with beautiful colourful paintings scattering the walls and Mexican sculptures and ornaments dotted around making it an interesting place to explore. The pool is enormous and the area made for the perfect place to relax but also work as the wifi was still strong even in the area furthest from the hotel. The water is the perfect temperature to cool off from the hot Oaxacan sun and the colourful trees and cobbled steps make the area very picturesque. The tennis court was an added bonus and we were able to play as soon as we arrived and given rackets and balls with absolutely no hassle or cost (although I think you usually have to reserve a spot). We were also able to book spa treatments last minute in the evening. I think what made the stay so enjoyable for us was how friendly and helpful all the staff were. Any request we had at the front desk was met with a 'Si, claro!' and a warm smile, and we were even allowed to spend the day by the pool after checking out. The bar and restaurant staff were super friendly and attentive and the free breakfast was varied, extensive and delicious! For the price, we were absolutely blown away by Hotel Victoria and would stay again without any hesitation.

Pros: Spacious, central hostel with cheap beds. Friendly staff, nice patio with a nice view onto Monte Alban and the city, table tennis and fitness room available. Not a party hostel. Has a kitchen. Free water and coffee. Clean. Laundry around the corner. Cons: I wasn't explained anything during the checkin, the staff speak hardly English (some don't at all which I find an absolute no-go for the size of this hostel) and the new guy there was absolutely not knowledgable about a lot of things an employee there should know. Helpful though. The kitchen equipment was bad. There was always a lack of spoons and glasses/cups. Moreover, there were no designated areas for ”I'm leaving, take this stuff if you want to” and nobody put his name and departure date onto the stuff in the fridge. I recommended those things but it wasn't implemented (although a simple piece of cardboard would have done). The room was quiet only from ~23:30 to ~07:30. Some trucks and motorbikes were extremely loud. NO internet connection directly on my room 123, but there was enough space outside to sit where there is a connection. But even there, there was sometimes 10% packetloss and a ping of ＞200ms depending on how many people were using the internet. Well, overall a good experience but the hotel should definately improve on the kitchen situation.

Good sized room. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed and good sized shower room with hot water. Communal area very pleasant and a shady place to chill out in the afternoon. The hotels location is almost perfect, being only minutes walk from the market and cathedral square.

The hotel has some good things to offer. The central courtyard has maintained its feeling of antiquity and is thus quite beautiful. And the few fully modernized rooms on the top floor are attractive and comfortable. But for us, the bad outweighs the good. We were a group of seven, and had reserved four rooms. The dates for one of the rooms had to be changed after we had reserved, and one of our party called to make sure that everything was in order (she speaks near-native Spanish) and she was assured that it was. When we arrived, we found that our reservation had been totally bungled. Two of us had reserved modernized rooms with a terrace; we got one of those, while the other party was put in a dark, rather dank room in the corner of the first floor. The third party landed in a room somewhere between these extremes. And the fourth room had only been reserved for one night and not the four we had booked; that person had to find another hotel. When I showed the manager our reservation numbers, he claimed that our friend who had spoken with him on the phone had made these changes and in fact *cancelled* one of the rooms. To add insult to injury, one of our party was told on the morning of our next to last day that they would have to change rooms because another party had reserved their room. They weren't happy, but they complied. When we all returned from a day's activities, it turned out that the hotel staff had asked the *wrong party* to change rooms and now wanted my wife and me to make yet another change. This is where we put our foot down. The helpfulness and friendliness of the staff is very mixed. The bartender is charming, and one of the ladies at the front desk is helpful. But, in general, the staff is neither helpful nor notably friendly--judge by the standards of most Oaxaca hotels and restaurants. If you do go, insist that you stay in one of the modernized rooms on the top floor. And get your reservation in writing! With a professional management, some needed renovation, and better staff training, this hotel might live up to its four star rating. Just for reference, we are frequent visitors to Mexico; we have been to Oaxaca for three of the last four years.

Stayed here when visiting someone important to me in oaxaca...great location walk to zocalo... and la Soledad it was clean, and front desk was accommodating...we booked hotel mostly because of pool, we wanted a pool....and it didn't disappoint the pool was clean and refreshing.... I will return to oaxaca, and would consider staying here again....

I really liked the charm of this hotel as it’s situated in an old colonial building with a courtyard complete with a small swimming pool. The rooms are basic but air conditioned, which is an essential in Oaxaca! Breakfast is served on a lovely roof terrace; the perfect way to start the day and relax in the morning sun. What’s more, the hotel is very centrally located making it the perfect hub for exploring.
