El Callejón Hotel Boutique

This hotel is in an excellent location and with a really beautiful garden where you have breakfast and drinks or sit and relax, that's really the highlight.. our room was extremely spacious although could have been more comfortable. Some of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There was a parking spot as well

The bed was really not very comfortable. I did not sleep well. The breakfast, considering the price you pay is pretty underwhelming . The don't fill the fruit and other items and on our last day it sort of fell off a cliff. The garden where you have it is the redeeming feature but really they should do more to make it more compelling and better value

Clean, comfortable, beautiful property in a fantastic location. We were able to walk to everything. The staff were friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to engage with our toddler. Also the tap water is safe, which made everything so much easier.

We had no upstairs neighbor until the last night, which was fortunate because the sound of them dragging chairs across the tile floor was super loud. On Saturday night, the club music was a little intense, but didn’t reach us in the bedroom.

We stayed at El Callejon Hotel last year and it was phenomenal. We invited family and friends this year and wanted to share this experience with them. Unfortunately, it fell short this year. It started with our arrival. We were received with nothing special whereas last year they had copitas de mezcal and mezcal granita or nieve for us. This year not even a map nor orientation of the attractions near by. I expressed my concern and was reassured they would make it right and that this was due to the fact that the chef had an emergency. I understood and know emergencies happen. But, we were there 5 nights and nothing was made right-not even a map. It was all in the details that were missing this year. Another example, they did not provide us with daily bottled water in the room this year. We had to ask the desk personnel daily. They did not help us to the door this year and ensure we had a taxi despite not being busy and just sitting at the desk. We enjoyed our stay in Oaxaca with our family and friends but it wasn’t because of El Callejon Hotel. It was just average.

Great stay, everyone very nice and helpful. Location is good, close enough to walk everywhere you’d want in town and far enough away to be quiet.

We moved to El Callejon as our original hotel was not good. From the moment we arrived here we knew we had made a wonderful decision. This is a truly beautiful hotel set in a beautiful oasis of a garden and incredibly calm and relaxing as a result. The staff could not be more hospitable or helpful and I would recommend that anyone staying in Oaxaca stays here, it is a real gem. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making it such a great stay in Oaxaca

Everything was great, couldn't fault it at all!

Great Staff,Service and great complimentary breakfast

Excelente edificación, con una arquitectura preciosa y con un patio interior poblado de vegetación muy agradable. Personal muy amable y dispuestos a ayudar con todo. Disfrutamos de una suite muy bonita y equipada. El desayuno estuvo muy bien.

Está, desde mi punto de vista, en el límite de la zona del centro en la que nos sentíamos seguros por las noches, ya que está muy solitario el barrio a esas horas. Aunque me consta que el hotel está trabajando para afrontarlo, tiene un problema grave con un local de eventos muy cercano que hace celebraciones estruendosas que duran hasta altas horas de la noche, y que penetran sonoramente en las habitaciones. Si te "toca" un evento, la estancia se amarga un poco. Eso no está en relación con el alto coste de este alojamiento, así que deberían hacer un descuento de mínimo el 50% de la estancia a todos los clientes que sufran esta circunstancia, y no lo están haciendo.

Just an amazing place ! We travel often and loved our experience as the room was beautiful and the staff was beyond courteous The breakfast was delicious and the chef is top notch A true five star experience

Wonderful service! Staff was excellent and very accommodating!

Excelente!

This place was a little slice of paradise! The hotel, room, and staff were above expectations. I cannot recommend it enough to everyone. This will be the hotel I continue to stay at in all my future stays in Oaxaca.

Beautiful place off the beaten trail a bit (but not completely out of the tourist zone) in a quiet neighborhood. The property is lux and lovely. The breakfasts were tasty and the staff was wonderful.

Highly recommended

Poorly located - not near the centre. Hard to find - at the end of a lane which is blocked off. Right next to a night club which played extremely loud music from 6pm to the early hours of the morning and the staff were unhelpful. Could hear other guests. Food choice limited. Not value for 770 AU Dollars!

Delightful courtyard for breakfast and a bar (best margarita in Oaxaca!); room was lovely; location terrific--walkable to the centro but quiet

I did think the room was pricey, but I imagine that's based on demand; also we didn't need such a huge living room, but I believe that was all that was available for our dates

Charming boutique hotel with excellent breakfast. Wonderful staff. Bed and sheets could be upgraded.

This property was beautiful. We enjoyed the service provided by the food and bar staff. Breakfast was a treat, and evening service was very attentive. The room was clean and everything worked well. One very unfortunate part of the visit was the fraudulent use of a credit card that was only provided to this hotel. Upon check-in, I noted that the property scanned the credit card (both sides). 24 hours later, a fraudulent charge was attempted, and my bank blocked this attempt. Despite all the positives about this hotel, due to this event, it's not likely I could recommend it to others.

Wanted to love this hotel, but the location next to event venue with extremely loud music killed all joy of vacation. We couldn't sleep, talked to front desk they basically can't do anything. Didn't offer us to change room or any compensation for ruined sleep. Would not recommend if you are looking for a quiet chill place. If you party till 2am and only go to hotel room to sleep it might work for you.

Loved the property and staff. We had good drinks at the bar. There is an event place nearby that plays music until late. It didn't bother us, but our friends said it was loud.

El Callejon is in a great, quiet location. Rooms are beyond spacious and have every amenity needed. Staff go above and beyond! Thank you Tanya, Adrian, Jose, Javier and all staff for a wonderful week!

The personal attention they paid to each guest is top notch. The staff took care of our every need. Breakfast, dinner and cocktails were very good. The Jaguar house felt like home. Comfortable and spacious.

Excellent choice!

Great property with excellent service, they make you feel welcome and a re ready to accommodate your needs/requests.

Breakfast service was compromised because of short staffing.

Beautiful and relaxing property and location, wonderful staff.

We had such a great time here during our four-night stay! Things started off a little funny when we arrived late and the night staff wasn’t sure which room we were in—it added a bit of humor to the trip—but everything smoothed out quickly. The room was huge, more like a one-bedroom suite, and it overlooked the beautifully decorated garden, which we absolutely loved. It was such a peaceful and relaxing view to wake up to every morning. The included breakfast was a nice touch—there was a small buffet with fruits, yogurt, pastries, coffee, and tea, plus a menu where you could order dishes like huevos rancheros. It was a perfect way to start the day! The service was fantastic throughout our stay—big thanks to the staff. Everything felt really smooth and well taken care of. Plus, the location is excellent, right at the end of El Calejón Avenue, making it super easy to get into downtown and the touristy spots. Overall, a quiet, comfortable, and well-located hotel with great service. Highly recommend it!

We stayed here whilst in Oaxaca on our honeymoon. The service was really excellent. They were very warm and attentive and helped make it a very special few days here. Staff were very friendly, the rooms were very comfortable (we were in a junior suite) and the grounds are beautiful. It was very relaxing and a good base to walk around Oaxaca. Would highly recommend

Wionderful place

Excellent place

beautiful stay. excellent customer service. cannot recommend enough. this place exceeded all expectations

Beautiful and so thoughtfully designed within a historic building. Tranquil, garden spaces. Elegant wooden furniture and fittings throughout. Innovative design everywhere. Staff so very attentive, helpful and sincerely hospitable and friendly. Delicious breakfasts and relaxing bar in the evening. Location perfect.

Nothing

Recently returned from a trip to Oaxaca and stayed at El Callejon in a 2 bedroom suite. The hotel is a lovely mix of modern and traditional. Our suite was quiet, spacious, clean and well appointed. I would say that the bathroom for a suite this size should have 2 sinks given the size of the rooms but otherwise no complaints. The staff is attentive and warm. The location is perfect and a close walk to all the sights. My only complaint is the coffee at breakfast is awful! This is an easy fix. Definitely recommend a stay here.

The staff were fabulous, the room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was varied and tasty, and the location was perfect -- close to Centro, but far enough away to be tranquil. We would stay there again.

The service was above and beyond

Like an oasis in the middle of a buzzing city. We received an upgrade, too. The staff were superfriendly and helpful. Also, the driver they recommended was excellent (and provided guide services too).

A bit pricey but it comes with all the bells and whistles after all, so worth it in a global context (if expensive in the Oaxaca context). Breakfast service was a bit slow but a minor inconvenience (just make sure you bring some time if you have an excursion booked).

Súper hotel. Con desayuno típico de oaxaca

The staff was super helpful and easily available to answer questions via WhatsApp. They also helped set up a cooking class and provided car rental information to do a trip to Puerto Escondido. The hotel is charming and you are greeted with a mezcal icy. Also, each night there is a chocolate treat in your room. Great hotel with soft towels.

Wish the bar area was open later and had snacks to enjoy. The bar is in a garden which is very nice but not used much at night.

The property is wonderful. The staff is excellent. They are very genuine, friendly and accomadating. El Callejón Hotel Boutique made our visit to Oaxaca that much more special.

The location was great, close to downtown but in a quieter part, also that we travelled as family was great the space as we could spend more time together in our own private place.

the bed and pillows were not so confortable.

We had the most amazing stay at this hotel. The location is perfect for walking around el centro and the hotel itself is beautiful. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is included in the rate and it was delicious. We enjoyed drinks at the bar in the early evenings as well. What really made our stay memorable was the kind and amazing hotel staff. We felt very welcomed and they went above and beyond during our stay.

Muy tranquilo, silencioso, en calle sin tráfico, alimentos en desayuno de buena calidad. Atención y servicio de todos los colaboradores muy buena. Recomiendan lugares a visitar, comida local.

What's not to like? The hotel is a gorgeous oasis within easy walking distance of Oaxaca's principal sites but far enough away from the action to be peaceful and restful. The rooms, garden and common areas are stylish and comfortable, the breakfasts are amazing and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and solicitous. We loved our stay and hope to be able to return to this lovely hotel and magical city.

Gorgeous hotel located a short walk (20 mins) from the centre of wonderful and colourful Oaxaca. The hotel entrance is on an unassuming side road, and there is not much to see from the outside other than very tall and imposing walls. But when the door opens you enter a hidden gem, pathways and gardens lit by the sun’s rays - utterly delightful. The rooms are incredible - spacious, airy, tastefully decorated, comfortable and well maintained. The service is excellent - staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast is excellent. Only downside is they charge for espressos at breakfast when these are available to most guests (most rooms have Nespresso machines).

Excellent Hotel, Great Breakfast.

I loved the property

My second night, the room wasn’t that nice

Excellent -quiet, safe, excellent service. The team here will make you feel cared for. Highest recommendation!

Beautiful peaceful retreat away from bustle of wonderful Oaxaca. Courtyard was lovely place to have relaxed breakfast and evening mezcal. Service was attentive and first rate. They helped us with dinner and tour recommendations. Not far to walk to main area of city. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here if we return to this area.

Love this hotel

Brilliant experience with the hotel. A number of massive positives. The location is perfect - walking distance to the city centre and close to all the great restaurants in the city … yet silent and cosily cut out. The staff are super helpful and a delight. The fact that most speak English is also a massive positive. The rooms are beautifully laid out and very spacious. Another positive is the drinking water taps in each room - an asset when you can’t drink from the tap on Mexico Only one ask - when we booked it seemed like the hotel has a spa. It doesn’t - there are just on-call masseurs. The hotel should call it out clearly

This hotel is absolutely stunning. A real oasis of calm and tranquility in Oaxaca. It’s is beautifully designed and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast too. Would strongly recommend to anyone. It was a real highlight of our trip around Mexico.

Great staff and service

All good

Unfortunately our room was over the garage and the metal doors upon opening and closing, made a lot of noise. Also at 7 am water is delivered by truck and that was quite disturbing.

Very nice property about 10 minutes walk from the Santo Domingo church. Our room was huge with 2 sofas and an outside area with 2 lounge chairs. It was good for us as we wanted to avoid the noise of downtown. The walk was fine except for one last quiet block at night, although we always felt very safe.

The staff service was EXCELLENT; always happily willing to help in any way. The rooms were GREAT; spacious, super clean, functional with everything you need, including a little balcony with a hammock (Junior Studio room). Also, the fact that the hotel includes parking (limited spaces), was very helpful, since streets are narrow and didn't feel good about parking our rental car there. Not all hotels offer this. The area around the property felt safe, and had many dining options within walking distance. I would definitely stay in this hotel again! P.S. The only tiny wrinkle was, that there is an event venue a few doors down. The Saturday night we stayed there, music from that venue was very loud. We always travel with a (sleep) sound machine and earplugs, so that helped =)

This really lovely boutique hotel is a gem! The design of the hotel (great rooms ) - with its lovely courtyard / garden - is superb. It's a quiet oasis not more than a leisurely 10 mins from the centre of town. What also makes the hotel special are Carolina, Neyeli and Markus (?).....ever helpful and keen to make one's stay at the hotel, and in Oaxaca, trouble-free, and above else, enjoyable. Treat yourself and stay here!

Awesome quiet boutique hotel in a great location in Oaxaca. The courtyard common space is beatiful, the rooms are lovely, the restauraunt/bar in house is excellent, and lastly the staff is second to none. We had issues with the rental company we booked with, and the young lady at the front desk moved mountains to help us get to our next destination. wish I had wrote down her name to give her a special shout out. Would stay again in a heart beat.

We really loved our stay at this hotel! It is a boutique hotel so feels intimate and calm. The location itself is a little oasis because it is far enough from the crowds of Centro, yet only a few (very safe) blocks from the action. Walking to the zocalo would probably take 15 min, but we preferred this side of town so most things were 8-10 min walk at most (and walking really helped to burn off the excellent meals we had in Oaxaca except for those nights that we made an additional stop for dessert along the way). The staff was very friendly and nice. We had a family suite and it was perfect for our family of four. As for complaints about noise, one night we could hear a wedding nearby but the bedrooms were quiet enough to sleep. Another night we did hear guests above us who must have had an early morning checkout, and we heard luggage and furniture moving, but it wasn’t that bad. A little bit more insulation in the rooms (soft door closures, more rugs or soft goods) would go a long way to help with this I think. Overall, the hotel was perfect for us and we would stay again!

Staff was wonderful and hotel was exactly as advertised, very pleasant and well done.

Breakfast was excellent, staff helped us book tours with a fantastic guide, and the space was perfect for our little family to stretch out while still remaining in an ideal location.

Very clean, great ambiance, very friendly staff.

El Callejon had beautiful, modern room that somehow also felt warm, welcoming, and above all comfortable. The staff was always available and helpful and always gracious with out questions about the hotel, the city, and activities. The location is just outside the city center, which made it a bit quieter. That was great for us but does require an 8 minute walk to get to most everything.

La habitación secundaria de la suite 6 necesita A/C

Breakfast was a wonderful bonus. Privacy of rooms was great. Courtyard was beautiful.

None

Very peaceful

Excellent service!!

We loved this boutique property. Stunningly beautiful, incredible food and absolutely the best staff . Each member brings so much to the team. And a great location. Close enough to walk to all but tucked down a quiet alley.

A beautiful small and quite hotel. Staff is very nice and helpful.

Beautiful hotel, very quiet and clean. Very close and convenient to center which was about 10-15 min walk.

Staff was extremely attentive. Nice property. Good location

The property is absolutely beautiful, unfortunately they could not accommodate a party of six and had to pay for another room. It was all siblings, and we were hoping to hang out throughout our stay. We offered to pay more, but they would not allow it!!

The staff was exceptional. From the ladies (and gentleman at night) at the front desk, to our server at breakfast, to the best bartender in the city, Jose, everyone was so kind and learned your name and made you feel right at home. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would come back and stay here WHEN I go back to Oaxaca.

Nothing. Everything was exceptional.

Lovely, quiet, near the city center and the staff went above and beyond.

Great location, walkable distance to Oaxaca's downtown area, Santo Domingo Church, dining, shopping, yet secluded on a tranquil alley. Rare match of location, excellent customer service, superb facilities and attention to detail. My wife and I had a terrific time at El Callejon. We visited other hotel facilities in the area and we think it will be very difficult to match the quality of this facility. Definitively a must have experience while in Oaxaca,

Love the ambiance and the staff friendliness and service :)

Everything was absolutely perfect! This is the BEST hotel we’ve ever stayed at and we have stayed at many. The staff is so accommodating and helpful with anything you may need. We can’t wait to come back!!!

location is fantastic, close enough but do not have to worry about the noise of the main zocalo, service was great, very helpful setting up day tours

nothing

I cannot praise this hotel enough. The grounds are stunning, well-designed and also highly maintained. The staff went above and beyond their job to make our stay extraordinary. Flavored water every afternoon, every afternoon they delivered a special chocolate to our rooms. Our breakfast was incredibly healthy and tasty every morning, and staff consistently remembered our individual orders. We all felt so seen and special. Additionally, this hotel is in a quiet neighborhood just 5 minutes walk from the city center. Security stays on premises overnight.

Breakfast could have been better. Coffee freshly made. Milk. Better bread. Hot water for tea

The food was not so good when we had to stay at the hotel. It was quite boring. Dry not moist. Not much selection.

The breakfast was pretty good, not outstanding. The property was beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable.

Wish there had been a mini-bar in our room and would have loved availability to outdoor space for relaxing in.

A most beautiful property tucked into the Xochimilco neighborhood and walkable to the sites around Oaxaca. The attention to detail in the art and architecture of the property is impressive, and the gardens and outdoor spaces are welcoming and peaceful. Each and every staff person was very friendly and helpful in offering suggestions of what to do and see for our first visit to Oaxaca. We loved the style of our room, the delicious daily breakfast, the bar in the afternoon and the general ambiance. We highly recommend this boutique hotel. You won't be disappointed!

We had a great experience in this hotel. It’s so beautiful!!!!!!!! Breakfast was so delicious. They arranged a wonderful private tour for us. They advised us on what activities to do. The staff is amazing, they go above and beyond consistently to try to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

We ended our Oxaca trip with one night at El Callejon and wished we had more time as the room was beautiful and comfortable and the staff was very thoughtful and professional. They accommodated our early arrival upon our return from Puerto Escondido and a late breakfast in the garden was lovely. The hotel is tucked into a side street away from the noise in a cool neighborhood.

Beautiful boutique hotel. Small, quaint and gorgeous. The rooms are the perfect size, clean and beautiful decorated. The staff super friendly and helpful. Very close to the zocalo and stores.

Beautiful room, beautiful grounds, good breakfast and nice bar.

The Nescafé coffee worked fine but we were limited to 2 free cups per day. They should provide a standard coffee pot.

We loved the property. Everything about it was perfect. Can’t wait to return. The staff was wonderful and so caring. Don’t hesitate to go to this hotel.

The breakfast was delicious. The staff, especially the front desk, were extremely helpful. The grounds and room were beautiful. The linens were nice as were the bath products. Loved the nightly chocolate. We would definitely stay here again.

We would prefer a better mattress. This one was wrapped in plastic (?) and made a noise when we moved. It was also very hard. We are early risers and would have appreciated a coffee station set up in the bar with hot coffee ( regular and decaf) so that we could access it in the morning ( rather than the” pods “ in the room.

Everything was perfect!

a little quiet haven in the heart of Oaxaca. impeccable service. great food.

The hotel is a beautiful sanctuary hidden behind unassuming doors. A wonderful experience

the garden atmosphere and our room was fabulous
