La Catrina de Alcala

The location was fantastic! We were 2 blocks from the Zocolo, and could walk very easily to every major site in the city. There were also lots of restaurants in easy walking distance. Our room was very quiet and given all the parades and street activities going on during the night, that was appreciated. The staff were outstanding and extremely gracious and helpful. They recommended sites to see, best times of days to do activities, and helped us get connected to out-of-city, all-day tours never making us feel as if we were imposing. The servers for breakfast each day were extremely friendly and took care of us well. We wanted our stay to have the flavor of Mexico, and it did it so well! Thank you, La Catrina de Alcala - we will come back to visit again!

This hotel is a gem, located on a pedestrian-only street, easy walking to tons of restaurants and tourist locations. The continental breakfast of fresh bread choices, fresh fruit, juice and coffee filled us up for a good start to the day. The rooms are spacious. The staff is really nice and helpful, arranging drivers and helping with any questions. The artist's gallery and pieces in the rooms, tons of plants and fun hanging decorations in the central restaurant all add to the cool atmosphere.

Cleanliness in every area of hotel. Staff are friendly and happy. Very quiet for sleeping and the bed was very comfortable. The location can not be beat... right on the main pedestrian street leading from zocalo to Santo Domingo. Near Benito Juarez market as well. Continental breakfast was good... pastries, fruit, juice, and bottomless coffee and there is a la carte choices for a small fee. Did I mention the staff? They are worth a second mention... we will be back.

It’s in a good location within walking distance to a lot of places. The breakfast was very good, honestly some of the best food we had during our stay. And the staff were super nice and helpful. The door is locked at night and you have to knock, but we missed that instruction and walked to the cafe next door after trying to open it, and a staff member walked out to find and help us. Rafael served us during breakfast and he was super nice and friendly.

The location of La Catrina de Alcala is perfect as you walk out of the hotel straight onto a lively pedestrianised street in the heart of Oaxaca. The central square and cathedral are 2 minutes walk away. Yet the elegant interior is quiet but full of light with quirky historical touches. Our room was comfortable and a reasonable size. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.
