beautiful and historically significant architecture. great staff.

I stayed here for four days on a short vacation. The hotel is in a fantastic location; a one minute walk to the Church of Santo Domingo and five minutes to the Zocalo. The hotel is large, old, and has lots of charm. The rooms are spacious, with wooden blinds that which completely block out the light and heat. There bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small, but had all the amenities you'd expect. There is free wifi in the lobby. There is a small but nice pool. The onsite restaurant serves up tasty food, and even better drinks. The next time I'm in Oaxaca I'll definitely stay here again!

OUTRAGEOUS TO CHARGE FOR INTERNET! Ditto on the charming hotel and location. But even the Fairmont and other grand hotels are not charging for internet these days. We are a two computer family and the Camino Real wanted to charge us for two codes. That’s $24.00 per day plus tax. I don’t care how charming the place is, I don’t like being nickel and dimed. It’s equivalent to charging for the pleasure of the television.

Second complaint is the desk staff was indifferent and not customer service oriented. Really drags down how you feel about your stay when the desk clerks are most concerned about getting your credit card and not orienting and making you feel welcome.

Lastly...it's loud....really..really loud.

Stay someplace else.

We stayed 4 nights at Camino Real Oaxaca. The hotel is simply amazing given that is it housed in a convent circa 1576. Our room was large with a very high ceiling, very nice bedding and amenities. It is also centrally located and easy walk to all the touristy sights.

The restaurant is so so, but Oaxaca has so many fantastic restaurants that it doesn't matter. The concierge did a great job making evening plans for us.
