I was a little concerned booking a hotel in a different country , and In a city I knew little about , over the internet, being from Toronto,Canada I chose Hotel Francia and have no regrets ........I would stay there again any time I visit Oaxaca. The Location was great ,the rooms were very clean and well kept and the... More

The room was absolutely nothing compared to the pictures shown on the Internet. It was dirty, old, extremely noisy, sub-par decorated. When we asked for hand towels, the hotel desk said the didn't manage any, nor any bath rugs. The bathroom sink cluttered at the first use, I even had help come inside the room to leave toilet paper while... More

This was the first hotel our taxidriver took us to when we arrived in Oaxaca early in the morning. We payed about 600 pesos for one night there, and it included breakfast. We would normally not have taken a hotel in that price range but we were exhausted from the trip and wanted to sleep. The service was great, location... More

I didn't like this hotel, mainly due to the dimly lit rooms which were also quite hot. This meant you had to open the bedroom window where the traffic noise was unbearable - even with earplugs! Our room didn't even have a room number and seemed to be a temporary as the place was being renovated. Considering the money paid... More

Upon arriving to the hotel everything was great. We had the corner room overlooking the streets. It was a bit noisy but being from Seattle it didn't bother us. The hotel is within in walking distance of everything. We didn't have any problems with bugs and there was plenty of hot water. The staff was friendly enough and the hotel... More

I have stayed in the Hotel Francia 2 times already and I will be returning again in Oct. 2007 for Dia de Los Muertos for 8 days. This little hotel is the most centrally located and the most reasonably priced. I have been in the old hotel and back after renovations. I find the hotel quaint and the new renovations... More

We stayed at the Hotel Francia our first two nights in Oaxaca. We chose the hotel based on price and location and were not disappointed on either. The hot water was a a problem--the shower temperature was completely hit or miss. The hotel was a bit loud, but nothing worse than other places in Oaxaca. The courtyard and restaurant are... More

We had a room with no view with very poor water pressure in the shower. The hard beds bothered some people but not me. We were next to a seating area outside the rooms we heard people at night. I wake up early and the staff was not concerned about anything but my disturbing other guests. The lack of a... More

First impression sent shivers down our spines: upon entry there is soimething very unpleasant about this place, it feels musty and dungeon-like. Despite information that it was recently renovated the hotel seemed very drab. Paint seemed fresh but everything else was not. All walls are painted white. Everything else is very old, included cracked floors, nasty faucets, filthy furniture etc.... More
