Comfortable room, reasonable price, friendly staff, good location in a cute and colorful neighborhood. The courtyard garden with parrots and a shy dog are nice. This hotel is very popular with older foreigners / retirees so it's quiet in the evenings

Charming and friendly, a great location.
Charming and friendly but the hot water and wifi is intermittently available, and there are mosquitoes in the lobby if you try to use the weak wifi closer to the router. the location was excellnet and provided a lot of authentic encounters with locals and the mostly native visitors, who were all friendly and tried their best to help me with questions, the location felt very safe, and I encountered no adverse experience.

Oaxaca stay
The room is comfortable, but the shared bathroom was not my style. Very basic, but all I needed for a few days in Oaxaca where I didn't spend much time in my room other than sleeping. Wifi was very weak, but staff was lovely and very welcoming!

Terrible hotel. Shared bathroom and toilet were filthy. Bed sheets were so old and thin you could see through them. Towels didn’t look clean. Worst night ever, should have slept at airport. Night guard tried to make us pay cash for our booking even though we had proof we had paid online.

Beautiful hotel with tropical plant courtyard
Casa Arnel is my all time favorite hotel. I've been to Europe, Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and the U.S.A. The hotel has character, beauty, and class. I love the architecture and each room is different from the others. It's so cute. We love the courtyard and the rooftop terrace. You can drink your coffee up on the terrace and look at the huge trees and flowers. The staff and the food is pretty good, but the kitchen staff took 30 minutes to bring us toast. That's a really long time to wait for toast. I highly recommend this hotel and it is the only place I would stay the night in Oaxaca. It is close to the city center. It is about a 15 minute walk.

Really bad description of the hotel, no bathroom
They said they have parking lot, they have not, we arrive around 4pm and our room was not ready, we have to share bathroom! Never mention in the description, we requested one bed and they provided two mini twins beds, so uncomfortable, no air conditioned, really bad experience

great location
The rooms are small but who stays in their room when all of Oaxaca beckons? There is a lush courtyard garden with several parrots and lots of birds. It's a cheerful place to stay. I had a room above the front door so when people arrived during the night it was noisy. Ask for a room away from the door. Showers were tricky, with water either cold or too hot. Hard to get it just right. Still, I would stay here again.

Good for economy and location, terrible services
Great location, conveniently situated within walking distance of the Zocalo and a stones throw away from the church. Very economical - given the location and season. Breakfast not included, and restrooms (especially the shared ones) are HORRIBLE - they keep backing up. And the receptionists is very unfriendly - no printouts for boarding passes, no soaps at night if there isn't one in the restroom. Lots of mosquitoes and bugs - not sure if the towels were even cleaned.

Fair warning!
Had heard very good things about this hotel, but after arriving and being ushered to a room that smelled moldy with no ventilation and no fan, we started to get concerned. Towels were ragged and should be replaced. Shared bathroom (not usually a problem) was not particularly clean and had one showering on top of a toilet. We moved to a room with private bath (at additional cost) and were accommodated, but still smelled dank. The fan rattled and was loud and the shower sprayed water all over the bathroom. Saw small cockroaches on the bathroom floor in the morning. Asked for a cup of tea, and were charged 20 pesos (usuriously high price). 2nd floor rooms seemed to be less dank, but the general worn state of accommodations. The courtyard is truly beautiful, and they put friendly parrots out during the day. The little library was also interesting and the 2nd FL deck looked fabulous and fun. Perhaps the dankness was due to the rainy season, but beware of the room conditions and poor & less than friendly service. This place keeps its front door locked, and you have to ring to get inside. At times, we had to wait a few minutes just to be let inside.

Basic accomodation
I'm surprised by the high rating that this hotel has got!!! The rooms were basic but fine for the price. The best thing about the place was the garden. It was a bit of a walk to were everything was happening in the city centre! I stayed there for 4 nights but two of these nights were very noisy. There was some sort of function happening there so there were many people in the sitting area which was very noisy. They had their own restaurant attached to the hotel and that got very noisy one night till after midnight. People working there were fine but the person working at the reception was not friendly and somewhat abrupt. The shared bathroom had dark stained tiles on the floor that hadn't been scrubbed well over the years so it didn't look clean. The management seemed to cut corners, for example, there was no soap or toilet paper in the shared bathroom, however, I was given a toilet paper roll. Once I asked for hot water to make tea and was charged 10 pesos for it! The woman at the reception explained that they used filtered water and gas so they were charging me!! However, I saw them getting me the water from their restaurant attached to their hotel!! I've been travelling for 5 months and this was the first time in any hotel that I was charged for hot water for making tea.
