City Centro Oaxaca

2 Hiba Iqteit - 3 weeks ago

The hotel is beautiful on the outside but is not welcoming by any means. If you’re traveling for business, maybe it’s a good place to be but I wouldn’t recommend it for couples or anyone looking for a warm and comfortable experience. The rooms are so dark at all times, the staff were not very helpful, and the location is a bit far from the center.

Beautiful place and very well located. I went there for a few drinks in the roof terrace which even had some live local music. It was perfect with also a fantastic view over that part of town. Highly recommend

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at City Centro. Our trip to Oaxaca would be our first and in celebration of our anniversary and my birthday -- it also happened to be Holy Week so the added festivities were an unexpected bonus! We chose City Centro for the first hotel during our Oaxaca trip so that we could experience Barrio Jalatlaco. The barrio is not only beautiful but everywhere we went we came across kind and helpful locals. Full disclosure I am Latina and my husband is Black and because it is important for us to be aware of locations that provide great experiences for people of color, I want to add that Oaxaca is definitely on our list of friendly destinations. The hotel itself is exactly what we expected when it came to looks, it is literally a beautiful pink hotel with an equally beautiful view of the barrio from it's pool deck. Our favorite spot was definitely the courtyard that had you surrounded by pink architecture and provided various lounging chairs. We stayed in a room with a King bed and it was true to photos. We did experience a clogged toilet but that issue was resolved quickly and easily. The hotel provided live music on certain night but ended around 10pm. We honestly don't mind noise as we have both lived in major urban US cities and are used to it but if you do visit on a Sunday or Holy holiday be aware that the church is located directly across so you will hear the festivities/services -- again we didn't mind but at all. Staff was super helpful especially with it being a holiday and the road closing off access to the hotel, the young bellhop literally tracked down the taxi at the street corner for us to meet him at, we thought it was super helpful. Again just know that during holidays and celebrations the road access the hotel for taxi pickup and drop offs is closed. The hotel is perfectly located near restaurants and has a store next door to purchase bottled water and/or snacks. We were perfectly located to walk the streets and views all the beautiful murals, every corner is a photo op! One thing to note, the cobble stone is true to size so I recommend wearing comfortable stable shoes if you are clumsy like myself -- or be bring your cute shoes along for the photo op and change in and out of them ;) Perhaps the only thing we noted that was of any issue at all was the bed wasn't as soft as we personally prefer but that was not an issue for us to feel that it impacted our experience. We definitely look forward to visiting Oaxaca and City Centro Hotel again.

The hotel looks very nice. It had a small pool and a terrace in the second floor. A small gym with basic equipment. There was a shuttle service that will take you to places near by but not to the airport. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is fairly new and clean. The room was very small, with no window to the outside only one small window to the inside of the hotel. The bathroom was also very small, you had to maneuver open doors in such a small bathroom. I had a room with two queen beds. I would not recommend this hotel if you’re coming with more than two people. The rooms is just too small for the price.

Go somewhere else! The hotel is cute and the rooms are basic but clean and nice. It’s very noisy (you can hear loud and clear if someone is talking on the corridor, the steps of the room above you or if a car passes by the street nearby). I my reservation it said “breakfast included”. Although the buffet is not great (no natural juice or fruit, just some bread, eggs and some packed cereal), I went for it, but they made me pay for it, saying that it was not included, that it was a “system error”. Unacceptable.

Pros: Very new, nicely designed property that we enjoyed for 8 days. Rooms are like typical US business rooms, very clean, no issues with infrastructure and designed nicely as property (see pics). Has a business center, restaurant that we used for breakfast (MXN165 per.) buffet, and nice pool/bar area on the 2nd floor. Beds are very comfortable and A/C really worked well. Only issues were small: needed more towel bars, couldn't find a way to use the hotel's bus.

The staff is super friendly, very attentive with everything. Probably the best hotel I’ve stayed at just because of the staff
