    The wifi could be better, especially in the back areas of the property. Perhaps a signal booster in the back for the rooms far away from the desk. I have stayed here many times and the price has increased a huge amount in the past couple of years. I expect it to go up a bit, but this time was over 3x what I paid the previous times.

    Lovely spot. I have stayed here many times.

    It was rather simple for the amount of money paid. The Booking.com site said there was airport transportation. There was not. And it said the hotel could arrange tours, which it hasn’t done for over a year.

    The property was very well located near the Zacola. It was charming, although a little “rustic”. The staff were amazing! SO thoughtful and kind - especially Raul.There are many stairs/steps, even in the rooms themselves. My room had a high step into the bathroom. I loved the Coffee shop/cafe attached to the hotel!

    The staff that works at the Posada del Centro is exceptional. They are kind, friendly, helpful, and very caring. I broke my femur in Oaxaca, and all of the staff helped in every way to make my stay comfortable. They went way beyond their job titles to take care of me. We also loved the coffee cafe next to the hotel. It has great food and delicious coffee.

    Small, aged but central

    It was during the Dias de Muertos, so prices were very elevated, but for the cost this tiny room with no fan, no air-con, and no extra pillows was bit of a letdown. The room was called "Deluxe Double" but not sure where there deluxe comes in. It was tiny - only room for one bedside table - and the noise of people speaking in the courtyard echoed in every morning. The sheets are old and not white, and the towels have seen better days too.

    We booked this stay last-minute after another stay was accidentally cancelled and I can't we weren't a little bit disappointed when comparing the two (we stayed 1 night at the other spot). The hotel courtyard and terraces were lovely, and the location is very central and very safe walking home at any hour. The rooms are a bit sad and aged.

    The fan was nice, but would have been great to have AC. Some natural light would have been good! I was in a first floor unit so people were walking by which meant I couldn’t have my window shade open. I also had a light sensor near my room and no shade on part of the door window, so the light would go off at night and come through that window.

    I liked the rooftop balcony and the fact that someone was always at the front desk— it made me feel very safe while traveling alone. The location was great and the little kittens that lived there were an added bonus!

    The water pressure in the shower was very weak. We were also next to the public patio, so in the evening there was some noise from other guests. Never very bad but a bit annoying. And finally somehow Booking.com offered us a rate with breakfast included but it wasn't worth it/the hotel couldn't quite comply so don't bother with that.

    We had a room with A/C, which made our stay much better. It's a few blocks from the Zócalo, so very walkable to everything, but it was very quiet in the room. It was generally a cute place with fine service.

    Nothing good earplugs won’t fix but it was a bit noisy, it’s not very well insulated so I could hear tv from my neighbors, the machinery from the pool (I think that what is was) and a really noisy family in the pool until late at night.

    it’s nice and clean. situation is great. staff was really nice and friendly.

    Because the rooms are off the central patio, and despite the notices up asking for quiet after 21.30, some other residents were occasionally noisy. Maybe Reception needs to do more to remind them not to disturb others.

    The hotel is walking distance from the museums, the markets, the city centre. The cafe right next door sells coffee and drinks and food - great for breakfast or an evening cocktail. The hotel is an old colonial-style building around two gorgeously colourful patios, one shady with tables. The roof terrace is lovely, with plenty of seating and great views of the city and the mountains. There’s even a hummingbird. The rooms are spotless and secure, the staff couldn’t be pleasanter or more helpful, Reception is manned 24/7, there’s clean drinking water available in the patios.

    The group tour they recommend for Monte Alban was disappointing. I would urge visitors who want to get to Monte Alban to find a different service, or just take a cab up there and spend much of the day with your own guide. Also, the room, and I suspect all the rooms, are very noisy. The street out front is just roaring with traffic. the hotel leaves the large front doors of the courtyard open, and the noise just overwhelms the space.

    Great central location. Attractive building and outdoor spaces. Great front desk.

    Nothing; everything was great.

    Perfect location; close enough to the main square, but far enough away to be quiet at night. Great and helpful staff; lovely room and courtyard. Only drawback was the room acoustics made it seem like everyone could you as the ceiling was over 10' high.
