room rate 610mxp, unbelievable tiny bathroom, very noisy because of the windows that are like "sun-blinds" , exelent location. the rooms look still exactly like the main photo here on tripadvisor. resume: cheap hotel that has seen better times, if you stay here, first check the rooms and get one which is not facing the street, espacially at weekends as...

We stayed at his hotel as it was recommended by our driver Adelino Olea,[--] who took us to Oaxaca City from Huatulco; we asked him to suggest a moderately priced hotel, on the Zocalo, town square of the City. Yes, I will warn you it is noisy at night, because your are right where we wanted to be-on the Zocalo,... More

The room was not only in a proper condition but we found mice walking around during the night. the staff is ok but the owner or manager or whoever he is that calls himself The Accountant was not only impolite but ridiculous when trying to cheat us with...

Source of noise was from inside of the hotel. Windows open to internal halls and every conversation (or activity), even in other rooms, can be heard loud and clear. At least ceiling fan was quiet. The location next to zocalo is very convenient and the price of the room was right. Some rooms are VERY small. I asked to change... More

This hotel probably should be avoided. The rooms are noisy and none of our windows opened out onto the street. Instead, they opened into the hallway. We only picked it because it was near the center of town. More

6 square meters dark rooms with the only one window on the hotel aisle. No fresh air, no light, but only a lot of noise..you con listen to eveyone passing in front of your room and the only one possibility to have some some privacy is to.close the courtains . The price you pay is an offence! You just pay... More

We stayed three nights at the Gala after fleeing from Hotel Mariposa. Small doesn't begin to describe the rooms. You have to step outside to change your mind. Actually, I couldn't believe they crammed a bathroom into a closet. Had to damn near sit sideways on the toilet. That said, the value and location are excellent. Good fair price, clean... More

We stayed at the Hotel Gala during the Day of the Dead festivities this year. The location was perfect. We had an interior room, so noise wasn't a problem. The staff was extremely polite and helpful, even with a few snafus for our stay. Part of the problem was our lack of pre-planning and part was a change in management... More

Oaxaca is an absolutely magical place to spend time over the Christmas period! It was pure enchantment being there and I am already planning when I will return. If it is during one of their peak festival seasons, or if you only have a limited amount of time, location becomes a very important factor to consider. For that reason I... More
