Hotels near La Caja De Agua., Oaxaca

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.

This hotel was top notch. The concierge Andrea Leon Leunig was wonderful! I was in contact with her prior to the trip to schedule a driver and when I finally met her, she was as helpful, accommodating and gracious as she was over email. The driver was even amazing because he was so charming and helpful! Their spa was fabulous. I loved it so much that I went 2 days in a row and honestly would have if I stayed longer. Haydee Cortes was absolutely phenomenal and highly recommend to make an appointment with her for any body treatments. She was extremely professional and a true master of her craft. I will recommend this hotel to friends and will for sure come back and stay there.

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.

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.

The hotel is fine in that it is clean, and the AC blows cold. It's pretty straight forward in that regard, but it has no character, coffee is made from a syrup, the breakfast is merely edible, and it's situated at the extreme north end of the Colonial District. There is a decent restaurant call XOXO located just around the corner, but they're only open in the evenings from 3:00pm to 10:00pm. Still, XOXO is recommended, especially to avoid having to walk too much at night for a good meal. The restaurant can be seen looking SE from the backside of the hotel.

Luxurious, stunning views from the rooms overlooking the city, clean, amazing pool and fantastic buffet breakfast! We had a great time. The service was sometimes a little testy at the desk and in the restaurant, but otherwise, really made our trip with the family a great balance of luxury and opportunity to explore downtown (though probably want a taxi to the center--it's only a 15 minute walk, but along a busy road).
