Great location, I was able to walk everywhere in under 10 minutes! Quiet at night, AC worked, for what you pay it’s great!! Also the owner is incredibly helpful and sweet.. The nicest host I’ve had in Mexico!

Sometimes the dogs barking was a little annoying but it didn’t really affect our overall experience. The shower wasn’t the best but it still did the job! For the price and the welcoming host we’d definitely recommend staying here.

We loved the location and having our own bathroom. The room and bathroom were very clean. It was also great having our own fridge, bigger than most hotel fridges, and air con. We also found Carmen to be very friendly and welcoming, as well as her son and his girlfriend. We felt very at home because of them!

Large, comfortable room that in ludes a small refrigerator. Only two rented rooms on the property. Large terrace. Use of a shared kitchen. 15 minute walk to Zocalo but many cafes and restaurants in the immediate area. Close to a market. Carmen the host is attentive and super friendly.

Nothing

My daughter and I had a lovely time. Our rooms were clean, beds very comfortable and showers were great. Location allowed us to walk around town every day. Carmen, our host, made sure we had everything we needed and provided excellent advice for restaurants and sites to see during our stay!

The location was great and Carmen, the owner, was a lovely host. Her son, Jesus, was visiting at the time. We enjoyed talking to both and appreciated their recommendations.

It’s a little way outside the centre.

Very big room with a comfortable bed and great shower. Lovely outside space too. The host Carmen was very friendly and helpful with good recommendations.

Stayed in January 2025

No shampoo and conditioner included. No cups availlable, but Carmen provided after we ask from her.

Location is close to tourist spot. Carmen the owner is very friendly, helpful and approachable. She waited for us on our late arrival (almost midnight) in our first day. She even let us try the local cookies during our stay. The price is worth it from the money you paid.

Carmen was a great host, she had lots of good tips for things to do, see and eat. We loved sharing time with her and getting to know a local!

No indoor place to sit outside of the room.

Internally facing rooms with screened windows make the rooms quiet! This is a rarity in the area.

The bed could be bigger, the door of the bathroom is 190 cm, which can be a problem specially if you are tall and distracted.

The sympathy of the hostess in trying to make the most of a simple premise. She's kind and helpful. The place is 500m from all the buzz but in a calm area full of nice and affordable "comedores" to have breakfast and lunch.

This is a locally owned and operated hotel with a spacious room and nice rooftop space with a table and chairs. One of the most famous taco stands is a few blocks away, and the locals in the neighborhood are kind. The Mercado de Merced is right around the corner, and shops are open with varying hours. The zocalo is a 15 minute walk. It’s quiet at night. I slept great and the shower had good pressure with hot water. There are requests a conventional hotel won’t have: turn off AC when not present, and not to flush the toilet paper. Again this is an indigenous owner who does her own grounds keeping and housekeeping. Loved the personal touch of supporting local.

The area feels a bit shady at night. There were barely any people

The owner is super nice. She helped with everything. there was a demonstration when we arrived and she called to help us out

The furniture is quite basic, though the bed and the mattress seem to be new and in very good conditions.

Very central location but silent and close to main restaurants and touristic places.

The tranquility of the guesthouse. And the friendliness of the host. Proprietress Senora Carmen and her son invited me to drink mescal in the cool evening at the second floor alfresco terrace, and also to teatime hot Oaxaca chocolate. She speaks enough English to narrate about life in Oaxaca. The hotel is just one block from the Mercado Merced.

Stayed in April 2024

The location was great. You can easily walk around Oaxaca. The host was very friendly and gave some recommendations. She even offered us some tea that she grows herself. All in all a great experience and would highly recommend!

Really clean! Great location and amazing host!

The place is very spacious and the location is perfect. Carmen is an amazing host, she recommended us nice places in town, helped us with so much information and was always available to our queries. The location is simply perfect, you are at walking distance from the city center and the colorful district of Jatlaco. The terrace is perfect to relax and chill. I would absolutely recommend this place!

I loved my stay at The Florenthina House. Carmen is the best host I have ever had. She is very kind and treated me like family. It can be noisy at times but that's Oaxaca.

Stayed in December 2023

The owner is super friendly and nice. It’s in a good location only two blocks from Mercado la Merced where you can get delicious foods. And it’s a couple of blocks from downtown

Carmen could not have been more helpful. When the traffic was really bad when we were leaving, she suggested that we walk to the bus station. She then escorted us to make sure we got on the right road and did not get lost.

Stayed in July 2023

It would have been nice to have a little refrigerator and drinking water in the room for convenience. Although Carmen did accommodate and let me use the fridge next door. :-)

The room was nice and spacious, bed was very comfortable, AC worked well. Carmen was a wonderful host! She was very generous with her time and recommendations. And did her best to provide a solution when the internet was inadvertently cut off due to construction on the street.as a solo traveler, I really appreciated her making me feel at home and looked after.
