“Great location, satisfactory boutique hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2010

We were here for the "Day of the Dead", a time when the town is jumping. The location can't be beat, just a couple of blocks from all the action. The hotel is spotlessly clean, but the rooms are small and dark (no windows but a tiny one opening onto an interior courtyard). Room lighting is adequate but not bright. The absence of exterior windows is necessary because of the street noise, and even being in the back of the hotel we had to leave on the fan of the air conditioner as white noise; but with it, the room was very comfortable for sleeping. Breakfasts are good--American or Mexican, and cooked to order.

“Not good enough”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2010

Nice boutique hotel with a great location where the service and maintenance did not match expectations or price. The overnight service was lacking, the bed squeaked all the time, front desk was not too amicable and my room had a sewer odor at all times. It could be a lot more.

The breakfast was ok, not great by mexican standards. The waiter was bossy and not respectfull of your space or timing.

Next time I will look elsewhere when I return to Oaxaca

“Great Small and Quiet Hotel Just off the Zocalo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2010

We stayed eight nights in Oaxaca at La Provincia. The Hotel is a beautifully restored hacienda in just a block off the Zocalo. Despite the proximity to the busy plaza, the rooms are very quiet. Our room was very comfortable, and included a king bed, sofa, desk and chair, safe and television with cable. The staff set up a great private tour of Monte Alban with an English speaking guide. The breakfast was included, and all the restaurant staff were great, attentive and accommodating.

We strongly recommend this hotel.

“perfect location, an oasis of calm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2010

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights here and wished we could have stayed longer. Located just a few steps away from the Zocolo it was perfect for exploring this delightful city on foot. The rooms are grouped round courtyards full of flowering plants and fountains. Ours was at the back, so we weren't bothered by street noise, which might be a problem for the rooms facing the front. The room was simply but comfortably furnished, with an excellent shower-room- no bath. Breakfast was cooked to order, and came well presented and promptly.
The staff were courteous, and helpful. They smiled too- which we did not find at all of the hotels on this trip.

“Quiet downtown oasis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2009

Just 1.5 blocks from the Zocalo, this hotel packs all the modern amenities into a classic old courtyard building. Very clean, with A/C, LCD TV and good on-site restaurant. Very attentive service. Rooms can be dark, but that's because they open on to small courtyards that provide cool shade and relief from the heat. Ask for a room in the rear and you'll never know there is heavy city traffic buzzing by out front.
