The 5 Best Hotels in Oaxaca

I love Oaxaca. From the moment I arrived, I knew it was a special place. I’ve been when myriad times since my first visit a couple years a go (and plane ran tours there!).

Oaxaca is a municipality of colorful buildings, scenic rooftop restaurants and bars, street art, historic Spanish colonial churches, cobblestone streets, and picturesque parks. It’s moreover one of the gastronomic centers of Mexico and a hub for making mezcal in the country.

While there are lots of neighborhoods to stay in, scrutinizingly everything you’ll want to see or do is proximal to downtown (Centro). Whether you stay in one zone or flipside is just a matter of how far you want to walk. There’s a lot of good, centrally located hotels in the city.

To Help You Plan Your Trip, Here’s My List Of The Weightier Hotels In Oaxaca:

1. La Casona del Llano

Right on Parque Llano, well-nigh 15 minutes’ walk from the main square, this is a really nice three-star hotel with rooms centered virtually a trappy garden. The restaurant serves a succulent breakfast storeroom (as well as supplies throughout the day). The simply decorated rooms are rustic and quiet. While the interior of the rooms may be a bit outdated, there’s AC, subscription TV, a desk, and strong Wi-Fi. The bathrooms, while moreover a bit dated, are wipe and the water pressure is great. If you have a vehicle, there’s self-ruling parking too.

I love staying here so much that, when we used to run tours in Oaxaca, this is where we stayed with our groups. It’s a pleasant, no-frills, affordable nomination in a really user-friendly location.

2. Los Arrayanes

This hotel in the part-way of town is in an old hacienda (large manor house). It’s decorated in a traditional style, with lots of plants and colorful art throughout. There’s a trappy courtyard and rooftop garden too. The unexceptionable and spacious rooms all include a flatscreen TV, desk, AC, and self-ruling Wi-Fi. The water pressure in the showers is really strong and I find the beds to be really comfortable.

Breakfast isn’t included but it’s affordable and has both Mexican and American options. The staff goes out of their way to ensure you have a well-appointed stay. It’s one of the weightier hotels in Oaxaca. Note: It’s mazuma only.

3. One Oaxaca Centro

Located 20 minutes’ walk from the Zócalo (main square), in the Jatalco district, this modern no-frills hotel has a simple and minimalist design. The rooms are comfy (though a bit bland), the beds are soft, and while the rooms are on the smaller side, they have lots of natural light. Rooms moreover include self-ruling Wi-Fi, a flatscreen TV with cable, a desk, and AC. The bathrooms aren’t that spacious, but everything is well maintained and the showers have good water pressure.

There’s self-ruling parking as well as a robust self-ruling breakfast spread featuring typical Mexican cuisine. There’s self-ruling coffee/tea misogynist in the lobby 24/7 as well. Consider this lodging to be like a Holiday Inn. Nothing fancy but well-appointed and covers all the basics.

4. Oaxaca Real Hotel

This huge hotel is in a restored colonial mansion right in the part-way of town. A four-star property, the colorful hotel has a small pool (and poolside bar), a relaxing rooftop restaurant serving succulent traditional Oaxacan supplies (including breakfast), and friendly staff. The rooms are homey and wipe (albeit a little dark), with touches of verisimilitude and local art. Rooms include a TV, desk, self-ruling Wi-Fi, and AC. The beds are soft and it’s often a quieter hotel so you can get a good sleep. The bathrooms, while small and dated, are wipe and the showers have decent water pressure.

If you want to stay somewhere really central, you’ll want to stay here. It’s located just minutes from the main square and has the weightier location out of all the hotels on this list.

5. Municipality Centro

Located east of Centro in the Jatalco area, this is one of the most modern, hip hotels in town. It’s super photogenic, featuring a unexceptionable pink exterior and décor (as well as inspirational signs), so you’ll see lots of people popping into the hotel just to take photos. A four-star property, it has an outdoor pool, fitness center, and bar on-site (there’s self-ruling parking too).

The tony and minimalist rooms have pink walls and unexceptionable decor, with trendy art, lots of light, and firm beds. They’re sleek, spacious, and airy, featuring flatscreen TVs, desks, AC, and self-ruling Wi-Fi. Breakfast, while not included, is filling and includes lots of local specialties. Check-out isn’t until 1pm too, which is a nice perk.

Oaxaca is my favorite municipality in Mexico and is fast rhadamanthine a favorite of everyone who visits. By choosing one of the hotels above, you’ll ensure you stay in a fun, safe, and affordable hotel while you explore what I consider to be Mexico’s weightier city.
