Casa Soledad is really close to the center, you can walk to any place you want. The bedrooms are clean and spacious enough for a couple to stay and work. The staff is really kind and ready to help anytime, they even helped us to get faster wifi for a professional call.
The building is not really soundproof, the good thing is the area is quite quiet, so you won't be really disturbed. I would add a little shelf above the sink in the bathroom to be able to put toothbrushes and other skin care products.

Great location, just a short walk to the center, and a great local coffee/chocolate place as well as a great seafood restaurant < 1-minute walking distance. The kitchen is decent and has a clean water dispenser. The rooms are clean and the cleaning staff are very nice and thorough. The staff in general is very nice, patient, and helpful (they only speak Spanish but just use Google Translate of nothing else works)
The rooms are not sound isolated at all, you hear everything from the rooms around you and the streets, most nights it is not too bad, but yeah bring earplugs :) The staff is only available morning-early afternoon

the rooms are basic but attractive and very clean; the location is perfect for walking easily anywhere in the center; there is a nice shared kitchen with fresh drinking water
There is no one on site to answer questions; my arrival was very confusing because I came at night and didn’t know I would need to enter a code that had been emailed to me.

I loved it. It was perfect place to start off while I looked for a house. The staff are very friendly and respecting your personal space. cute little kitchen to cook in and I absolutely loved watching the sunrise from the rooftop everyday. It was like a little studio apartment almost. I always need a desk when I travel so it was the main reason I booked this and it was tucked in a very peaceful and quiet corner of town. Great bang for your buck!

Having a shared kitchen with a large fridge, filtered water supply, coffee maker with outside seating area was great. The first morning the cold water in our shower did not work. The repair man came quickly but couldn't repair it and we were moved to another room within an hour. On a quiet street so noise was not an issue.
It was a heat wave when we were there and with only a fan, no a/c it was very warm. Our fan did not work as well as in our first room.

The location was pretty great. Super central, but without all the overwhelming noise of being in central Oaxaca. Walking distance from all the bars, restaurants, parties, etc, but distant enough for you to have a good night sleep. Ana and the staff were great and very accommodating. I had an issue with my first room and they were kind enough to change me. They also helped me with tips and with transport. The place is great value for money. And it's also configured in a way that facilitates the meeting of fellow travellers.
I had a problem with the first room I stayed in. Room Number One. Was a bit too noisy because of the water pump. But the staff was great and changed my room. And the shower also leaked. But things got much better when they changed me.

I liked this place. It was in a great location, had friendly staff and it was very clean. There was also a kitchen to use. There were lots of outside tables and terraces and security was good.⁸
No a/c and only a noisy standing fan which was totally inadequate. The room was stifling hot and unbearable at times. You couldn't even have a cold shower as hot water was coming out the cold tap.

Really comfortable rooms, kitchen area where we could make our morning coffee and quiet and well located place. We were also able to park our hire car inside. Reception also helped us book taxis for our departure. I’m we liked it so much we left for a few days for the beach and then came back for a another night before leaving Oaxaca.

This hotel was ideal for our family vacation. We occupied 3 rooms so the house (converted to a hotel) felt like it was all ours. Beds were very comfortable, the place is very clean and the staff very helpful. Great location.
This is a big house converted into a hotel, so we recommend it for big families. We occupied 3 rooms so the house was almost all ours, but for a couple of nights there were other guests which we could hear when they arrived and left their rooms.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. A late check-in was no problem and when we were in a hurry they even let us do the check out a bit later than 11:00. The room was spacious and clean. There was hot water, fresh towels and everything we needed. It was quiet, very easy to enter (by electronic code) and centraly located. I would definitely recommend to stay at casa soledad. Thanks.
The bed could have been a bit more comfortable but it was ok.
