I loved this hotel. It's a very authentic Oaxacan hotel with a great vibe, amazing staff, and a fantastic courtyard and terrace with a view that can't be beat. I was traveling with friends but had my own room and felt very taken care of and supported during the stay. The location was great and the creativity with the towels and toilet paper--having them in shapes--was such a lovely touch and typical of the warmth and natural artistry of Oaxaca and Oaxacans. The breakfasts were great especially the hot cakes though food in many spots on Oaxaca is extraordinary. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed for seven nights, and our grown daughter joined us for four of those nights in her own room. The people running the hotel were friendly and welcoming, and the place is well maintained and spotlessly clean. (They even wash the sidewalk outside the front door every morning.) Prices are very reasonable. The hotel is conveniently located in the historic district. It's on a busy street, but the rooms are toward the back of the hotel and so street noise is not much of a problem. There is a beautiful courtyard, a charming outdoor breakfast area (with umbrellas for shade if needed), and a rooftop patio with stunning city views. The hotel has free Wifi.

The rooms are reasonably priced, but some of them are dark. Ask for a room with a balcony on the second or third floor. Our room, #19, had French doors to the (small) balcony, a king-size bed, and a nice view over the courtyard. The room just above us, #24, is probably even brighter.

Breakfast is wholesome and tasty. It is not included in the room price but the cost is reasonable. And the fact that breakfast is extra leaves you free to explore the nearby coffee shops and restaurants in case you want more variety in breakfast offerings.

There are a couple of drawbacks to this hotel: Some of the rooms are dark; the staff speaks minimal to no English; and they attempted to add on an extra charge for a dirty towel that I easily cleaned with a little handsoap. Nickel-and-diming us $50 MXN when we spent $13,000 MXN on ten nights of room stays was surprisingly ungracious. On the other hand, they did back out the charge when we disputed it.

We just stayed here for 12 days. A long time to stay any place and what worked was that we had their one king suite, which meant we actually had a king bed and large bedroom, with another separate sitting room which included a couch, small refrigerator, TV and DVD player, small writing table and two chairs. This gave us some room to spread out ourselves, as well as some more room for all of our stuff. I understand that the other rooms are on the smaller side, which probably works for shorter stays.
The bathroom was quite large in this room, with a good sized bathtub/shower, and plenty of hot water and water pressure. Did I mention that the room is also air conditioned and works well? Negative side is that this room is on the ground floor and doesn’t have lots of natural light; which meant, good news, that it stayed dark in the morning and didn’t get too hot during the day when locked up. During some days we took advantage of all the outside space available to work (doing some writing) and reading; for example, on the terrace where breakfast is served and even up on the upper floor terrace which is quite large and has an even more dramatic view of Santa Domingo and the hillsides. There is a bathroom up there and it is quite quiet.
A lovely touch is that the clean towels each day are folded on the bed in various swan configurations. Quite charming.
Breakfast is cooked to order on the outside terrace each morning over a 3-hour time frame, which provides great flexibility. The food is good, fresh and there are a number of alternatives, and reasonably priced (not part of the lodging charge). However, we did go outside the facility about every other day just for variety on breakfast, and there are lots of deals for a good cooked breakfast (e.g., juice, fruit, eggs, coffee) at about $4-5 U.S. We particularly enjoyed Café Café which is just around the corner for breakfast or even an evening coffee.
The location is fine; about three blocks to Santa Domingo. It is downhill, so be prepared for some uphill on the last block to the hotel on any return. There is some noise from the street in the early morning, which might bother some light sleepers, but even the light noise from the air conditioner canceled out the sound and we were at the front of the facility (most rooms are further away from the street). There are lots of great restaurants within a few blocks of Casa, including some we enjoyed like: La Biznaga, La Olla, Las Danzantes, Maria Bonita, Casa Crepo, Pan & Co., and Casa Oxaca.
Finally, while the staff has limited English language skills, we didn’t find this a problem and we were impressed with their attentiveness and quality of their service. They were always friendly and did a good job at whatever they were doing or asked to do.

We had two short stays at this hotel, before and after a trekking trip. The staff couldn't have been more helpful during our stays and even looked after our luggage whilst we were on our trek. The view from the street is not that good, but once through the gates you are in a lovely courtyard full of plants and flowers. All the rooms face into this, and some can be a bit dark. On our first visit we had a suite, which was on the ground floor and very dark. On the second visit we had a king room on the first floor, which although much smaller, we really preferred as it was much lighter. Both rooms and nicely decorated and furnished with antiques. The hotel is ideally located - only a few minutes walk from the centre but in a relatively quiet area. Breakfast on the terrace was freshly cooked and offered lots of choice.
