We absolutely loved our stay at Parador Del Dominico. It is the perfect location to explore Oaxaca: walking distance to the bustling city center, yet a quiet oasis at the same time. It is tastefully decorated with a respect for history. The very old tree in the beautiful garden is an hommage to past times. The staff is super friendly and the rooms are neat (try to book a room with a terrace!). The coffee houses, bakeries, and restaurants close by are recommendable. No surprise, we will definitely be back here when we visit Oaxaca again. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay.

“An overnight stay - great value too.”

We just needed a place to stay for the night as the house next door to our airbnb was being drilled and hammered well into the evening. We got a room on the ground floor that had 2 double beds.

We just needed a place to stay for the night as the house next door to our airbnb was being drilled and hammered well into the evening. We got a room on the ground floor that had 2 double beds. The hotel lobby/eating area was lovely old Mexico in style. Our room was beautifully decorated, the sheets were crisp white cotton with a cotton bedspread. All tastefully put together. The cost was very reasonable and we were so lucky to get a room at short notice.

“Great location. comfortable hotel”

Great location with a wonderful expresso shop across the street. Easy walk to the important square, cathedral and other churches, botanical gardens, galleries, craft shops, major market. Staff was helpful. Bedrooms were comfortable with good shower. Good breakfast included.

“Classic style, big space, chill”

Generally we had a great time and would come back. But there are things you should know about. Good thing is it's a huge room with a modern renovated bathroom, a beautiful classic interior courtyard with trees and breeze, and a great restaurant. We got everything we needed from staff and the price was good (if you can get a deal). I liked the tile floors, big desk, and TV selection. We easily got ready everyday. Some things to consider: - As noted in other reviews noise but for us particularly only one night when there was a huge party and this one guy was texting at 2am outside our door on the bench. The general street noise and such was actually very nice and soothing. Also someone would smoke a lot below us and all we had to do was close the window and turn on the A/C unit. - It is currently "winter" time and they don't change the blanket, only the sheets. After 3 days I probably should have asked for a new one. They made the rooms nicely everyday. The bed comfort was actually pretty good compared to the last place in CDMX. - The room safe is old style that requires a special lock, not a code. So I didn't bother to use it. - Closet space was a bit small even for one person (we were two). - No coffee maker in room (surprisingly) We had no issues with staff I think I could feel the energy was a little off but they were very helpful and they all spoke good English when needed. I think the vibe would be chill and quiet at the time of our visit and that was good for us. I did feel like the one party night actually added to the Mexican experience because it was like being in all of that joy and fun. Also we were sometimes very chatty in our room so maybe we contributed to someone else's noise hahaha. Restaurant breakfast course included is basically eggs only and the waiter was very nice to us everyday. I think we should have just offered to try their other dishes but we had plenty of time to try Oaxacan cuisine elsewhere. This is funny but my favorite part was the shower because the water was strong and hot and I felt so good after a long day out. And feeling the natural breeze from the windows and going into courtyard. Do note that the room can dry out a bit at night so we kept the windows closed then. The most important part of this hotel for both of us was the free hot and cold water coolers on every floor. We drink a LOT of water so it was great to save money on bottles. I would say the person who should stay here is just vacationing and exploring town and not staying in the room all the time. Wifi was so so, I wouldn't want to work on my computer here. I really enjoyed coming back to that courtyard vibe, it made each night really special.
