We booked 3 months in advance and paid double for the Christmas period (for 5 nights). The room we were then given on arrival had no window and was a dark room. We decided that we would not stay at this hotel and asked not to be charged as the room was not as advertised (i.e with a window -... more

We recently spent 4 nights at the La Parra in Oaxaca- a charming small city. We had reservations for 2 nites but we extended 2 more nights to maximize our time at this lovely city. The room was large, comfortable and nicely furnished - comfy beds and pillows and nice hot showers. The food served by Chef Sergio was freshly... more

I stayed here with my husband and daughter in August for one night before we flew out of Oaxaca. All the staff were very accomodating and the small suite was nice, with a very decent bathroom. The front desk was very helpful with the very large quantity of luggage we had to store (we'd done quite a bit of shopping... more

The room was smallish but clean and adequate. because the room was overlooking the hall we had to keep the window shutter closed which made it pretty dark. The room was supposed to have a safe (according to the website... more

The street in front of the hotel had been ripped up - which is not the hotel's fault, but we didn't experience the same fabulism that others on this site raved about. Our room, like many Mexican hotel rooms, was dark and only had one window, which we... more

Just returned from our Mexico vacation, which included 3 nights at De La Parra in Oaxaca. Overall, a charming inn with great service. We arrived very late at 2:30 am, after a hellish and unexpectedly long bus ride from the coast, and we were relieved that a staff member was waiting up to receive us at that hour. We asked... more

We just returned last week from a week in Oaxaca, half at the Holiday Inn Express and half at the Hotel de la Parra. This was a good balance: the HI was clean, lively, and about a 15 minute walk to the zocalo, and the Hotel de la Parra was small, quiet, and a block from the zocalo. It was... more
