Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel De La Parra

Hotel didn’t try to make the stay welcoming. The pool was covered till 10am or later, so no early swimming. Bar not open most hours or days. Room stunk a bit, because of sewer gas, they had covers over drain to help, but it didn’t help. Location was great and place was pretty, but wouldn’t stay here again.

It was a great stay in the perfect area. I would stay here again

Great location. Service is great. Would definitely stay here the next time we visit oaxaca

Hotel de la Parra was excellent in many ways. It was off season so we enjoyed quietness and the service. Swimming in the pool was tranquil in the hustle of busy city center. Ever staff was cordial and responsive. Our room was air conditioned so we were able to relax and enjoy the stay any time of the day. We enjoyed excellent breakfast offered at the courtyard. All in all, we would reuse the hotel next time we visit again.

The hotel gets a one star review because it provided a room with no window (for $300/night). We arrived late and were given a room with no window or other source of natural light. It was like a large and claustrophobic cupboard. The next day we told the manager that the hotel should not be letting such rooms. In many countries it is illegal to have a bedroom with no window, for amenity and fire-safety reasons. The manager provided only excuses ("many hotel rooms in Mexico have no windows", "It's an old building and hard to convert", etc). We asked for some compensation and a change of room. An alternative room had a very small opaque window and little light. It was poor value. We found a better room nearby at half the price, but the hotel refused to let us move out. We were eventually provided with better accomodation (no compensation for the inadequate room). The hotel also does not meet Mexican fire safety regulations because it has no signs showing fire emergency escape routes.

Nice hotel, staff, comfortable I would suggest adding handle bars to the shower room would be nice and safer.

Lovely country style hotel right in the heart of Oaxaca. Beautiful swimming pool. Great breakfast. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

It is on a quiet street. The swimming pool is great after being out in the hot sun. The staff was really wonderful— very helpful and always friendly. All very clean. Doors could be wide open and there were no bugs. The one somewhat annoying thing was Ave Maria blasting from a nearby church at midnight every night, and other music at 6 am.

Very cozy property, that took me back to the memories of my early childhood at my grandmother’s house. Nice pool with shaded area. Beautiful religious paintings.

Super nice boutique hotel right in the middle of the city. Wonderful staff and very nice rooms and pool.

Fantastic location, half block to square and cathedral Pool area was outstanding Unique and peaceful with an excellent bartender

We were very comfortable in a well appointed standard room with king bed, good bathroom with rain shower, coffee maker, good temperature control, and quiet. While the room was equipped with good lighting, the natural daylight was dark. Just go out the door to the lovely pool to spend time. The hotel is well located to zocalo and is within 6 block walk of everything interesting in Oaxaca. The staff takes special interest in helping guests - we were unable to get a table at Casa Oaxaca, but the hotel called them and got us a table. Highly recommend Hotel De La Parra.

We loved the location and style of the property. Everything clean and well maintained. The pool and hospitality areas comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms on the second floor were comfortable and well equipped and clean. There is comfortable outside of room areas to enjoy. The only negative comment is that…one couple of our group was at first in a main floor room that was noisy and very compact. It took a few days for the hotel to accommodate a room change….our reservations forJunior suites for our Feb stay were made in August 2024 .

Fantastic hotel. I absolutely loved it. Excellent service. Right in the heart of things but quiet.

Location

Great place and perfect location. Wonderful staff

A really well-located hotel in Oaxaca's centre. It's a short walk to loads of brilliant bars and restaurants and felt very safe. I'd recommend exploring a little further out of the centre too. Though there was a bit of noise from the city the hotel was really calm, with a relaxing pool area. The bed was comfy and the room was cleaned really well every day, The staff were very friendly and attentive. Great stay.

Excellent

I had been to Oaxaca many years ago and the hotel we used to stay at was out of business. My criteria was: proximity to the zocalo, pool, and cost. The staff was extremely helpful.
