Hotel Las Golondrinas

The shower was fabulous!!

Towels are pretty worn, but adequate. A brighter light over the sink would make shaving easier.

the garden where i had my coffee every morning was so beautiful!

A/C in the room was expected--the picture had a/c on the internet

Gardens were very nice and staff was excellent and helpful.

Breakfast was totally substandard. We ordered 2 dishes and by the time the 2nd was brought (at least 5 minutes later) the first was cold. Bad, watery coffee. The room: the sink in the bathroom took 5 minutes to get warm water so we had to waste so much water till it warmed up. The spout on the faucet sprayed water all over when you opened it. Lighting was so dim in the bathroom that you could barely see yourself in the mirror to shave, etc. The room was stuffy because you couldn't open the window to get fresh air/no screen on the bedroom window. When we opened the door mosquitoes entered. For an older person, walking up the hill from the main pedestrian area to the hotel was very exhausting.

The location is great and the garden is super nice.

Shampoo and hair conditioner could be offered

Endroit magnifique, avec des belles cours intérieures tres fleuries à deux pas de la place santo domingo. Chambres spacieuses avec une tres bonne literies. Les nuits sont fraîches - pas la peine de prendre une chambre avec climatiseur.

Personnel pas très dispo. Quand j'ai demandé des infos sur les possibilités de stationnement dans le quartier, ils ont répondu qu'ils ne pouvaient pas m'aider. Je suis resté perplexe face à cette réponse. Par ailleurs peu ou pas de contacts, mais aucune proposition de conseil de leur part.

We loved the location, being a quick walk into one of the main squares. Rooms were incredibly spacious and felt more like suites. Beautiful green spaces to sit.

Great location. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable.

Fabulous location; gardens are beautiful.Very pleasant and helpful staff.

Room I thought I was getting was not what I got … actual room much smaller, could barely fit around the king bed. Bed was very very hard. Bathroom was tired.

I like this hotel, and have stayed there many times over the years. It is a great location and I enjoy the beautiful gardens, the pleasant rooms, the friendly staff.

I had pleasant memories of the breakfast in the garden area at the back of the property, but this time when I arrived for breakfast there weren't even chairs set out and the breakfast offerings were limited. It seemed that I was the only guest and they were doing some construction in the area in back of restaurant zone, so perhaps this affected this situation. The breakfast seemed expensive for what it was. I also remember a pleasant reading/library room on previous visits that I didn't see on this occasion; I'm not sure if it is still there.

Superfriendly staff, relaxed atmosphere in beautiful garden full of plants

Lovely hotel with colorful warm rooms and native artwork. Very clean. Air conditioning. Lovely garden . Staff were very nice and kind.

Location and friendly helpful staff

N/A

A great place to stay. An ancient neighbourhood of local residences turned into a local hotel. Has that charming vibe to it and feels like you're living as a local of oaxaca. The place is beautiful with so many amazing plants that attracted some humming birds at breakfast. The room was big and comfy. Lovely murals as well, and the coloursbrightenedn it even further. The owner Carmen is such a nice woman with interesting stories to tell and all the staff are friendly and kind. Would recommend anyone to stay here, had a great time. Bonus: such a cute dog!

Eigentlich eine ganze Anlage: Wunderschöne Gebäude, Plätze und blumenbewachsener Innenhof. Wasserspender für die Gäste.

The common areas of the property are lovely (lots of pottery and beautiful plants) and the rooms are spacious. The front desk staff when we checked in were initially friendly.

I NEVER like to criticize a local business and I wouldn’t do so with this one had the property manager been less defensive when we registered a complaint. The rooms are very basic (which is fine given the price point) but we found the beds to be incredibly uncomfortable. Again, that’s to be expected at the price point. However, in the morning, we discovered that the hotel is in the flight path and we were awakened around 6 AM to planes flying directly overhead. I immediately reached out to Booking.com as we had booked a three night stay. I was told to contact the hotel directly, which I did. When I chatted with the property manager, she got immediately defensive and was, to be honest, quite unfriendly. I explained that I had no desire to be a ‘complainer’ (I have stayed many hotels over the years and have never registered a complaint) but that this was a special occasion trip and I wanted our hotel to be both comfortable and restful (which this one was not). I asked that I be refunded the additional two nights and the property manager flatly refused, saying it was ‘impossible’. She offered other rooms so I asked her if the mattresses were the same on those rooms and whether they were in the flight path, which they were. I thanked her and checked out. The hotel was kind enough to hold our luggage until we returned later that afternoon, which I appreciated. I, again, would not write a poor review had it not been for the property manager’s reaction. I also was frustrated with Booking.com personnel who were, quite honestly, unhelpful. I have booked through this website hundreds of times and the only help I got was the assurance they would ask the property to refund our remaining two-night stay and that they would let me know the hotel’s response within 48 hours. As far as I’m aware, Booking.com did not advocate on my behalf and the 48 hour response period was ludicrous given that I was already at the property and needed to resolve the issue immediately.

One of the most beautiful courtyards that we saw in Oaxaca City!

Gorgeous garden setting. Great location. Accomaodating staff..

The garden!!!

The coffee

excellent breakfast; wonderful staff and owners; quiet stay in city center

rooms a bit dark on 1st floor

Todo, muy amables y lindo el lugar

Todo me gustó pero

Excellent breakfast

The breakfast was okay. Liked having a water cooler at reception to refill water bottle. Vet helpful and friendly staff My room was large and had AC

No small fridge in any of the 6 rooms we rented. No ice available.

La beauté du lieu. Chambres parties dans un magnifique jardin, au calme, loin des bruits de la ville. Très proche du Centre.

I didn’t like the breakfast except for the fruit plate. Coffee to expensive for the tiny cup it was served in and was not offered refills. Coffee in the lobby for 40 pesos was a better option.

Small refrigerators in rooms. A ice machine on premises. I expected the courtyard to be bigger and have comfortable chairs where we could meet for a get together.

absolutely beautiful, serene property with flower-filled courtyards

nothing

The surrounding gardens were lush and beautiful in all areas. The attractive decor—pottery, furnishings, artwork, tile work, murals, everything was special. The hospitality and staff were exceptional, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. My family loved staying here.

I can’t think of anything we didn’t like. We had no issues.

desyuno muy rico y con muchas variedades tipicas de Mexico.La ubicacion es muy buena , cerca de todo. La habitacion no es de lujo pero cumple con los estandares que esperabamos. El que no haya TV hay que considerarlo.

Que te especifiquen que no hay TV en las habitaciones, personalmente no lo lei en ninguna parte.

The manager, Carmen, and her staff are the best asset to this lovely hotel. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. The hotel is a 10 minute walk or less from most central sites.

beautiful gardens, Quiet location

My room was tucked back in the corner with no real windows

La propiedad es muy bonita, vale la pena visitar Oaxaca solo por conocerla. Carmen y Susana son excelentes hosts. Nos ayudaron muchísimo con un problema personal que tuvimos e hicieron nuestra estadía muy agradable.

Que uno no se quiere ir

The beautiful garden

It was not clean , the facilities super old

A beautiful tranquil place in a good location

This is a truly special place - filled with light and colour, elegant paintings and pottery, wonderful flowers and plants. Spacious rooms with high ceilings, a very civilised ambience. And the staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming - it was a delight to stay at Las Golondrinas, and we cannot recommend it too highly. It's very conveniently located for all the major sites, and parking is easy in the surrounding streets. A real find

It is on quite a busy road - but the noise doesn't get into the hotel, and it's very convenient for all the major sites. The showers take some delicate adjustment and patience, but the whole place has a charm which transcends such practicalities!

l’accueil du personnel et le charme de l’hôtel très fleuri

L’emplacement de la chambre donnant sur la terrasse du petit déjeuner et le rue pas loin très passante

Le cadre bucolique. Les chambres dans leur jus.

Pas de coffre fort, pas de frigo, des serviettes rêches et des draps de qualité très basique. La réceptionniste ne se met pas en 4 pour vous aider.

Breakfasts were very good and reasonable priced. They were served in a beautiful courtyard under bougainvillea and lush plantings.

There was nothing to not like.

Charming older property with murals and a jungle of plants -many in the fabulous pots of Dolores Parras. Colorful, rooms are individually decoated. Quieter than one would think! Our bed was sleepable for an older bed. The pillows were flat out uncomfortable. Lighting could be better inside. The pocket patio for our little courtyard of rooms let us sit outside in locally made chairs. The staff were patient, kind and helpful! Cafe was adequate for breakfast innut within doors are better places on the same street. I recommend getting out and eating everywhere you can!! Diet before Oaxaca if you need to! We would go back to Hotel Las Golondrinas.

Breakfast could have been lots better. Get new beds and pillows. Even if it is one room every two months.

The location was great and the overall design of the hotel is cute

Sound travels so it’s not a quiet place. The website also stated that there was free breakfast was there wasn’t

Excellent location---everything one wants to see in the city of Oaxaca is within 15 minutes walk. The property itself is absolutely lovely. Beautiful courtyard gardens throughout. Very secure. Cleanliness = A+. Guests can have a homemade breakfast in a beautiful outdoor setting, for about $10.00 US. The front desk staff speaks excellent English. They will also arrange for a taxi pick up at the hotel for day of departure. Highly, highly recommend.

Beautiful, colorful property! Easy to walk to places of interest. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

The garden really is a heavenly oasis. We couldn’t believe how quiet and sedate the property was, despite its close proximity to lots of happening destinations. The hotel has a very sincere staff who clearly cares about the grounds and the guests.

The bed was a little firm for my liking, though I did adjust after a few nights. Also I did find the mosquitoes to be a nuisance (there were only a few) and I wish all the windows had screens.

Amazing location, a lot of green, nice breakfast area, super friendly people.

La jardin et le calme ainsi que la situation

Beautiful well kept and clean.

No heater and it was cold. No TV in the room. Breakfast is pricey.

Good location at the edge of Centro. Friendly staff. Family run vibe, not a corporate kind of place. Rooms spread out among beautiful gardens. Most or all rooms are quiet, away from the streety

The double bed was kind of hard.

Excelente limpieza, muy bien ubicado, staff muy amable

La habitación tiene muy poca luz natural. Se escucha mucho ruido de las zonas comunes, la cama estaba muy chica

Chambre très calme, donnant sur une terrasse bien entretenue et végétalisée. On aurait pu se croire dans la Jungle lorsque nous ouvrions la porte. Tout le nécessaire était présent.

Le lit est un peu petit pour deux adultes.

Great location. Loved the gardens!

Bed was pretty hard

Lovely gardens

Shower needs better pressure

Background: We are couple traveling light and only around the city. We dont have car and mostly walked. Liked the vibe of the hotel. Even in the dry season, the garden inside the hotel is very well taken care. Also, the whole staff is very helpful. There was always someone in the counter to help us.

The room was little less isolated. You can hear the noise from the other rooms around us. This could all be because of the location of our room, however it was not a big issues for us.

home made fresh food

cash only

Joli hôtel, du charme, des couleurs et de la végétation. Bon petit déjeuner et invitée spéciale la petite chienne Pomeranians trop mignonne.

Rien

The hotel is situated very close to Santo Domingo church and the Zocalo, about a 5 minute walk either direction. There are cafes, restaurants and galleries located in the local surroundings. The hotel offers and very tasty and typical Oaxacan style breakfast. The hotel is a restored complex of rooms, patios and gardens furnished with local ceramics and painted walls. Wifi available and accommodations were comfortable. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable of the area.

Nothing really, as with old adobe and cement buildings wifi can be affected. I our case is was sufficient for our use.

The property was beautiful and felt tucked away while being close to everything. The family who runs it and the staff were incredible and have created a great environment.

Gorgeous, lush garden and plants with vibrantly painted property makes for a warm and cozy atmosphere. Family who runs it is friendly and laid back. Good value. 5 minute walk from tourist highlights.

La verdure, des plantes vertes partout , magnifique jardin. Accueil très chaleureux et nous avons été bien renseigné pour des adresses de restaurant typique. Pendant notre séjour nous n’avons pas pu prendre le petit déjeuner au jardin.

Notre chambre donnait sur la route et était très bruyant.

Great place, beautiful, quiet, and comfy. You won't regret it. Staff are super accomodating.

C'est un hôtel familial qui a toute une histoire et ça se sent. On s'y sent chez soi. Les patios sont magnifiques. Un magnifique havre de paix. La propriétaire et le personnel sont toujours prêts à vous aider et à vous conseiller. C'est vrai que "las gonlondrinas" est un hôtel, que, comme les hirondelles on quitte, mais qu'on a envie de retrouver.

Nettes Personal

Das Zimmer war klein und dunkel. Man hört den Verkehrslärm seht laut. Kleines Bett. Alte abgewohnte Möbel.

Buena atención, jardines y patios hermosos.

El cuarto, oscuro y la iluminación, débil. Sé que hay que ahorrar energía pero con poca luz natural y estas peras LED que dan poca y fea luz, quedo triste y es difícil leer.

Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sauber. Schöner Garten.

Straßenlärm war viel zu laut zu hören. Zimmer sind sehr abgewohnt.

Breakfast was good. Since they do not take credit cards I had to go elsewhere at times

steps going up to the bathroom

La atención

La sala de estancia, sugiero cambien los sillones

Zeer goede locatie, zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel en zeer leuke sfeer.

Het bed was te hard voor ons en sommige moeilijk parkeer gelegenheid te vinden in de buurt.

El personal fue fantástico y siempre resolvió cualquier incidencia con rapidez y amabilidad. La habitación era tranquila, pero la cama resultó demasiado dura para nosotros. El primer día las almohadas tenían olor y sería bueno cuidar más la higiene de sábanas y textiles. También ayudaría añadir algo de suavizante para mejorar la sensación de frescura. Aun así, la atención del equipo fue excelente. La relación calidad-precio mala.

Personal finde ich klasse , sehr liebevoll bei ankommen begrüßt. Sehr nette Leute hilfsbereit , freundlich . Kurz gesagt Top Wenn ich wider Oxaca besuchen soll , dann nur "Hotel Las Golondrinas" In der Hof fühlte ich mich wie in kleine Oase, sehr gepflegt viele Pflanzen, Blumen.. Und die Papagei .. Ich fühle mich sehr ,sehr wohl .

Als Raucher Schade keine raucher Ecke im Hof , So hätten sich Besucher in ruhe ungehalten und nicht vom Hotel am Hauptstraße.

Magnifique hôtel avec ensemble de patios et couleurs. Très confortable, salle de bain exceptionnelle. Le personnel est adorable et très arrangeant et la localisation parfaite!

My favorite hotel in Oaxaca which has kept its’ magical local charm for decades. Gorgeous plants, pottery including many by Dolores Porras, and fun colorful rooms and exteriors. This property is the real deal and I hope they never change or capitulate to entitled expectations. I love that it’s been in the family for three caring and kind generations.

Nothing. Don’t change.

The gardens are stunning and the room was very spacious and comfortable. It’s in a location that was quiet but still walking distance to everything. Staff were friendly and kind, plus they had an adorable dog. I would 100% stay here again!

Die Anlage hat einen schön begrünten Innenhof und ist relativ nah zum eigentlichen Zentrum.

Es gab kein Frühstücksangebot, da das Personal fehlte. Das Zimmer war sehr Dunkel, in keinem Fall wie es die Bilder suggeriert haben. Außerdem ist die Ausstattung sehr rudimentär. Wir haben das Zimmer dann getauscht. Diese was ebenso wie das Bad deutlich kleiner. Dennoch mussten wir dafür einen Aufpreis bezahlen — für eine Klimaanlage, die wir gar nicht gebraucht und genutzt haben. Es ist richtig, was in anderen Kommentaren steht, dass das Personal sehr freundlich war. Nach unserer Erfahrung sind das die Menschen in Mexiko aber generell.

Le bâtiment même de l'hôtel est très joli, avec tous ses patios fleuris et ses décorations. On se sent à l'écart du bruit de la ville, c'est très paisible !

Le petit-déjeuner, bien que très bon, nous a semblé un petit peu cher.

Petit déjeuner pas à la hauteur On nous demande de payer pour griller le pain!
