We managed to book a room at Casa Grande Cochinilla for a week during Dia de los Muertos festivities, the busiest time of the year in Oaxaca. At the time of booking the only room available was a very small room on the lower level with a shared bath and access to a light well, but no view. Upon arrival the staff was very accommodating and managed to get us into a large upper floor room for 5 of our 7 nights. That big room helped to make our stay much more comfortable and pleasant. We appreciated the little touches, like daily coffee and drinking water in our room and chocolates in the lobby. Although there was some street noise, the neighborhood is wonderful, within walking distance to both the restaurants and shops of Barrio Jalatlaco and major sights nearer the Zocala.

The hotels' 2 lower floor rooms are very small and share a bath. Recommend booking any of the three upper floor rooms instead.

Everything was wonderful! The room was very comfortable (with AC and fans), bathroom great, and I appreciated the coffee and water in the room. Great rooftop views! There was an issue with the booking, but they were able to accommodate me and actually upgraded me to a huge room.

Nothing!

For some reason this sometimes comes up as a hostel, I saw others say the food was terrible. I'm guessing in the past, perhaps by a previous owner that may have been the case. This is a small lovely boutique guest house/hotel. We had a beautiful king bed, pristine linen and a modern shower/bathroom. The location was excellent, though not central to either main areas, it was perfectly placed for walking to Zocalo or Santo Domingo, with great little restaurants and bars to discover near by. (Or hail a Taxi in a minute for US$2.50). But the best part of the experience was the lovely owner and her 2 VERY helpful assistants. Breakfast was simple home cooked delicious fare on a very nice rooftop.

Nice rooftop, comfortable bed, excellent location within close walking distance of downtown

Hot water was a little sporadic, sheets & towels were stiff & coarse

Nice little boutique hotel located a comfortable distance from the center of town. Nice rooms, nice rooftop terrace. Great food nearby.

One of the manager's little dogs was a bit of a barker, but nothing serious.

very clean and nice staff super helpful and available when we had questions or needed help with transport to other parts of Oaxaca. also really nice terrace.

there are stairs so is not be accessible for everyone

The booking stated that a terrace or balcony was a part of the room. The room I received was very very nice but had no access to a personal balcony or terrace as stated on the airbnb website for the hotel. I think I overpaid for what I received. The staff and attention was great but the room and facilities not as advertised.

the actual personal balcony

Size of room and bath. Fully equipped rooftop terrace. Location Clean

The staff was incredible and the terrace is beautiful

The rooms were comfortable, the staff was friendly and there is a beautiful rooftop terrace giving you gorgeous views of the mountains. Claudia the owner was extremely accommodating to all my needs and requests and her staff was great too.
