The front desk staff seemed very friendly and helpful. The public areas were clean and tidy. The negative aspects were: Excessive noise / loud conversations No posted signs re. noise policy. In fact, there seemed to be no noise policy as the patio (ground floor level) allowed people well into the night (11:30pm) and really early in the morning (5:30am) The public areas of the hotel were *extremely* echoey and thus it was very important to have signs re. noise and loud conversations. A minor negative> the rooms lacked "do not disturb" door knob signs to alert the room service staff.

Loved staying at the Happy Express. The staff was excellent and very helpful and friendly. Rooms are nice and clean and beds are on the harder side which I like. AC works well and you get woken up by a lot of birds that come to the courtyard. We'll be back!

The place was very clean with colorful and interesting decor. The courtyard in the middle was very inviting though we didn't take the time to enjoy it. The staff are very friendly. The neighbourhood is, well Mexico, but it is only 3 blocks to the Zocalo, so an excellent location. If you are tall your knees may hit the wall when you sit on the toilet.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff just a few blocks from the main plaza, many restaurants, museums, great shopping, gym, chocolate shops, chill coffee shops. There is a kitchen area. The courtyard features several umbrella tables where you can eat or drink. They also provide recycling bins on site. Affordable and convenient.

Centrally located with everything you need
The hotel is pretty central to everything, just a short walk to the zocalo and restaurants. The hotel is away from the city noise which is nice. The staff is really nice and helpful and the rooms are super clean. There are no luxuries, this hotel is very minimalist and the bed was a little hard. However, it was good for a short visit in Oaxaca and a safe distance to walk during the night.

This place was really wonderful. The outdoor space is nice and relaxing, staff is great, the cleaning staff cleaned the room to spotless every day. It’s pretty close to Mercado Benito Juárez and zocalo square (4-6 blocks) but a little far and a little dark to walk alone as a solo female. Although this is true for most cities. The shower had great hot water and pressure, the tv had tons of channels, both Mexican and American channels (in English). 2 small gripes: the mattress was very hard and extremely uncomfortable. Maybe some of the rooms have new mattresses, I’m not sure. I had a lot of hip and back pain and had trouble sleeping on it. Second, the door to the room had only one tiny lock on the knob which would have been very easy to break into. I’ve traveled extensively all over the world and never had a hotel that didn’t have a deadbolt or additional lock. Just a thought, but some added security would be nice.

The hotel was great. Staff was amazing. The room was perfect with a large shower with lots of hot water. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The patio was an oasis and colorful. This hotel was perfect in every way for me. I will stay here upon my return to Oaxaca.
