The 5 Best Hotels in Oaxaca (Updated 2025)

"Located a 20‑minute walk from the Zócalo in the Jalatlaco district, this modern, no‑frills hotel has a simple, minimalist design; the rooms are comfy though a bit bland, with soft beds and plenty of natural light despite being on the smaller side. Rooms include free Wi‑Fi, a flatscreen TV with cable, a desk, and AC; bathrooms aren’t spacious but are well maintained and the showers have good water pressure. There’s free parking and a robust free breakfast featuring typical Mexican cuisine, plus free coffee and tea in the lobby 24/7. I consider this lodging to be like a Holiday Inn: nothing fancy but comfortable and covering all the basics." - Matthew Kepnes
