Okay, first of all I must emphasize that this is NOT a luxury hotel. However it is exactly what I needed for my stay in Oaxaca. 1) Location : It is central enough (a 3 minute stroll down to the Zocalo, make that 10 if you are a (very) slow walker) but it is far enough from the crowds of... more

I had been booked into this hotel through a third party while in town. It was my first stay in Oaxaca and I honestly didn't know what to expect. I did check out the reviews on this site, and remembered to ask to get a room in the back. Happily, the hotel was not bad. I'm not high maintenance so... more

Comfortable hotel and great value. We just returned from our 10 day stay in Mexico which was during the rainy season except that that meant almost no rain the entire time. It is a great time to vacation there because the rates are low season and there are no tourists. We found this hotel to be clean and comfortable. There... more

I stayed at the Aitana for five nights in March 2007. It is located on a busy/noisy street, but also close to the center of town and local attractions (everything is within walking distance). There is no air conditioning, but the ceiling fan kept the room cool (request an interior room and leave the window open during the day). Rooms... more

I agree with most of the reviews that see this property as an excellent hotel for staff, food, location (sooo close to the nieves at Basilica de Soledad). I was ready to approach the manager on the morning after my three night stay to set up a group booking. That 3rd night changed my mind. The noise of a high... more

The hotel is an old colonial building with beautiful rooms, but with few amenities. The ambiance more than makes up for the lack of amenities. Rooms are decorated in a colonial style and are extremely comfortable. The strong ceiling fans, do not male up for the lack of air-conditioning in the summer. It is both a ten minute walk to... more

The Aitana is located a few blocks away from the Centro. Walking to the centro was easy, walking back was all up hill and a bit harder. We often took a cab back at night. All the cabs are only $3.00 so after a long meal and several glasses of wine it was the way to go! The rooms are... more

We were here in October 2004, our room was clean and comfortable and well decorated with a widow opening onto a small courtyard (we had no problems with hot water during our stay). The advantage of this is there is very little noise in the room, the disadvantage is that there is no breeze when it gets hot, rooms have... more

We stayed here for 7 days in March 2004 for a romantic getaway and it was fab. The room stayed v. cool at night despite the lack of air conditioning and was perfectly quiet. The Mexican breakfast with fresh fruit each morning in the courtyard was dreamy. The staff arranged day trips for us and was very friendly. The only... more
