Nothing negative to say

Super nice staff, great centric location and a nice terrace. Best thing is definitely the breakfast, fantastic.

I stayed at the Estrella room which faces the road. For light sleepers, it is noisy during the night from street traffic. I would stay here again but i’d book one of the other rooms for that reason.

The best part of staying here was the breakfast provided. As a solo traveller, it was nice to have the central open air dining area to come to in the morning and have the option to meet others staying at the B&B during breakfast. Location was also very good and walking distance to main areas in Oaxaca City. Liked the extra touch of providing a hat and a local reusable bag in each room.

The shower pressure was a little weak, and it took a while for the water to heat up in the morning. But I liked how environmentally conscious they are, by asking you to collect the cold water in a bucket so that it can be used for cleaning purposes, thus saving water in an area that experiences a long dry season and water shortages.

Beautiful, traditional B&B just a few blocks away from the main city square. There is a security gate to enter, so it felt very safe too. Loved the artistic touches and decorations of the common space and the room. Our room was spacious and clean with a private bathroom. Breakfast was served in the courtyard, and consisted of coffee, Delicious fresh orange juice and fruit, plus a light main dish such as fried eggs and vegetables. The staff we met were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend El Diablo y la Sandia as a base when visiting the beautiful city of Oaxaca.

Excellent service, the place was very clean, checkin was smooth and the girl super helpful and welcoming. Loved there was a highchair and rattle if any guests have babies, this place is perfect.

I LOVED this B&B! The room and courtyard were so charming -- just the details of having fresh flowers and a water jug were lovely. The breakfast was delicious and heartwarming (can a breakfast do that?! yes, it can). The staff was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. As a single, female traveler, I felt very welcomed and safe too. To El Diablo y La Sandia: Thank you so much for your hospitality! You have a beautiful place.

The offered very useful information about where to go and how to get to different destinations even to places not even close to the hotel. We forgot something in the room and they sent it back to us by mail. Couldn't stay in a better place.

Excellent staff - breakfast was great. One morning we had an early start & they came in an hour early for us!

Nothing comes to mind!

Absolutely loved our stay here. The staff immediately made us feel welcome, we loved the room and the breakfast was just phenomenal. There was a nice rooftop to enjoy - I spent a jetlagged morning reading my book overlooking the city from up there. Loved the little touches too - an honesty bar, hats and bags to borrow.

The only thing they could improve is the shower.

Our stay was amazing! The hotel is super comfortable and clean and all of the staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast at the communal table is a great way to start the day! Would definitely come back.

There is no 24-hour staffing, there is some traffic noise. and there are too many tipping reminders (boxes, envelopes). While the breakfast menu is creative, it is limited to vegetarian options and is not overly generous in its portions though the guests are never denied something more to eat upon request. The B&B is somewhat more expensive than comparative places in other Mexican tourist areas.

El Diablo y la Sandia is a charming B&B with a rooftop area that is well-located and kept very organized and very clean. The reception staff all speak fluent English. The rooms are comfortable and spacious and guests have full access to the kitchen. The breakfast varies every day. The B&B is a short walk from the Zocalo and an even shorter one in all directions to a produce/daily products/restaurants market, restaurants, coffee shops, convenience stores, tourist sites, and bakeries.
