Beautiful hotel with unique rooms. Close to many restaurants and Zócalo. The staff was very kind and accommodating which many hotel chains in the area lack. However the staff here were always a step ahead in meeting your needs. Highly recommend when visiting Oaxaca.

Virtual extortion
All of the hotel would have been excellent except the day before we were to return we had to deal with a virtual extortion of one of our people in our group. We are convinced it was an inside job of an employee working at this hotel. Security is a big concern so I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for that reason.

We stayed at Hotel Azul over a a sunny weekend in February. Our room was right next to the cleaning / storage room and stag kept passing by and arranging items loudly at all times. The room’s only window overlooks the passage so we felt very exposed.
As in some other hotels in Mexico, the toilets are not separated with a door from the rest of the room, which could be an uncomfortable feeling for some.

Great service but hotel not a good value
The location was excellent as were the Staff themselves but we were very disappointed with the hotel itself. We had water issues the first night causing great inconvenience when we wanted to shower. The following days we had water but had to leave water running for well over 15 mins to get the hot water in the sink or shower. And while we didn’t use the AC much the controller was not as easy to use - we had to fiddle with it a bit to get it to turn on. For a hotel in this price range these flaws are both unfortunate and a real let down.

We loved our stay in Hotel Azul Oaxaca. The staff is very kind and efficcient, they made everything pleasant. Breakfast included was delicious and they have healthy choices, we also enjoyed our afternoons in the terrace having a drink and enjoying music. The location is great, so close to the places of interest in downtown Oaxaca. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome! We will be back and will reccomend you to our love ones!

HORRIBLE Stay Away!!!
It's Horrible STAY AWAY.
First off I called the Hotel to request an airport pick up and was told it was 300 pesos. I agreed and booked it. When the driver dropped us at the hotel he told us it was 600... the women I spoke to lied and said she never told me the price. Total rip off.
Than I inquired about the tour price which she quoted at 300 pesos an hour... lied again and said it was actually 400.
The room had no light!!! it faced a courtyard and of course you can't open the window because everyone would be able to see you. It was like a cave... dark dark dark.
I left and found another place... went back to tell them I was checking out and they did not care at all - didn't even ask me why!!!! And refused to give any refund back on a 3 night booking.
Hotels.com also was not very helpful in trying to get me my $ back considering I've booked countless rooms with them. Only thing I got was a small credit. I expected more for having been a gold and silver client.
I would NEVER send anyone to that hotel.

Beautiful and clean hotel. Our room was immaculate and very well laid out. The bathroom tile was gorgeous and they had nice shampoo/soap. I typically bring my own but these were nice! The two courtyards were each unique and lovely. We enjoyed spending time in both. The breakfast was so delicious! Exceeded my expectations. Location is fabulous - close to everything but not so close that you hear the noise. I highly recommend - I would tell my mother to stay here.
