Las Mariposas is on the outer edge of the central area, but what you lack in a more centralized location, you make up for with peace and quiet. Once you were inside the walls of the hotel, you felt like you were in your own little retreat. The grounds were kept immaculately and the staff was helpful and ever present.... More

We stayed for 8 nights during Semana Santa. We echo the other positive comments: Teresa and family are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The hotel is very clean and conveniently located. Having use of the communal kitchen was a plus for us: we kept sandwich fixings in the fridge and ate our evening snacks at the table in the courtyard. The... More

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 10-day stay at Las Mariposas. Our time in Oaxaca was so much better because of its great location and helpful, friendly hosts. Our room was in the back, facing the courtyard shown in the picture. It was very quiet at all times of the day and night. Teresa and her family... More

This was the perfect place to stay while visiting Oaxaca. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Sipping the organic café de olla within the tranquil and lush courtyard was a wonderful way to start each morning.The staff was courteous and friendly, and I can believe how affordable it was! I will definitely stay there when I return to Oaxaca. More

We stayed here in May 2012 for 8 days and the price was excellent. In the morning the guests sat around 2 tables in the courtyard and had delicious coffee cake and local organic coffee with a slight cinnamon flavor. Guests also brought their own snacks (we had use of 2 refrigerators). Purified water was always available. The front gates... More

Hotel Las Mariposas is a lovely hotel. The location is ideal, as it is not so close to the Zocolo where it is noisy and expensive, but it is within easy walking distance of all of Oaxaca City's best attractions. The staff was very friendly and informative. The communal kitchen and courtyard areas give the communal feel of a hostel,... More

The location is good, the beds are comfortable, people are friendly, it's quiet at night, very clean and pleasant, and the showers are good! This was my fifth visit to Oaxaca and... More

This was our first visit to Oaxaca and Las Mariposas. My wife and I stayed a week here at the recommendation of friends who often travel to Oaxaca. Teresa and the staff were very friendly and ready to help with excursions and transit to and from the airport. The central location allows access to the historical and cultural sites, as... More
