Santa María Ixcatlán Vacations from $759

Very nice little hotel on the outskirts Centro of Oaxaca. The access is easy, location perfect, breakfast on the main floor and you can charge it to your room. Rooms are basic but clean and modern. However be prepared that the staff doesn’t really speak English. Hidden gem- an open roof with a 360 view of Oaxaca. It’s my third year I’m staying at this hotel.

We stayed here seven days in late April. The location is ideal. Close to the Zocalo, café shops, retail shops, restaurants, 20 de Diciembre market, museums and many other places. They are all within walking distance. During the weekend it could get noisy as there is a bar/club nearby. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. The beds are comfy and the air conditioner worked perfectly. Especially since the weather was in the 90's the entire week we were there. For those who have physical limitations please be aware there is no elevator for rooms in the 2nd and 3rd level. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We booked a double bed room, we were upgraded to a junior suite. That was nice of them. The room was larger but I have a feeling this was one of the rooms that was not upgraded yet. There was construction above us, not huge deal since we spent most of our time out of the room. But I'm sure if we were there more time it would have been a problem. I would recommend this hotel if you like being close to main area of the city and don't need a car.

Amazing hotel - great location, quiet and good service

Beautiful boutique hotel. Spotless. Our room was very roomy. Only complaint is that there’s no bathroom privacy. But loved it.
