Inexpensive and clean, in one of the city's oldest, and visually stunning, neighborhoods. Good place to meet interesting travelers and some long term visitors who swear by Arnel. The family run hotel an easy walk to anywhere in Centro, as well as very close to the long distance bus station- not to mention the baseball stadium. A helpful and pleasant... More

A good place for the price. Nice people, nice place with a nice big balcony lot s of trees/green the center of the hotel. Room was nice without being great , bathroom was not very clean which is the main reason why I don t give it 5 points. Overall, it s a good place for the price but there... More

Two of us rented a Casa Arnel apartment across the street and visited the hotel frequently for breakfasts at the common tables which were pleasant, tasty and well-priced, and for the lovely setting. The family is warm and helpful and we really felt at home here. The Jalatlaco neighborhood is quiet and beautiful as well as being very conveniently located... More

This was in Lonely Planet as a budget hotel. Seeing the lobby and courtyard blew me away. It is a 2 story tropical garden. I looked at an inexpensive room with shared bath but chose a room "con bano." Many English speaking guests gather in the common areas and for breakfast. The rooftop garden patio is a pleasant spot.

This is a good value for money hotel that is interesting and lively. Location-wise its about a 15 minute but easy walk to the centre of... More

The barrio Jalatlaco is precious, very colonial and peaceful. It is close to everything, but not in the midst of the noise of... More

If you're on a budget, this is one of the nicest places you can stay, about 10min walk from town. Really pretty little hotel with lovely owners and a lot of parrots. I had a single room, it's quite basic but clean, some lovely terraces at the top with hammocks. This place comes with shared bathrooms but you can pay... More

We found this little gem via the Lonely Planet guide book. On arrival in Oaxaca, we asked at the bus station's Information desk for directions. It was late afternoon, and we had just alighted from a 6 hour bus journey from Mexico City. We turned up without a booking, but fortunately for us being low season, there were vacancies. The... More
