Palacio Borghese is praised for its warm, attentive staff and central location near Santo Domingo, with many guests enjoying the charming historic building and rooftop views, while some note street noise at night and a few dated room elements.
Breakfast is widely liked, though the included continental option is simple and can feel repetitive; a la carte plates are available and praised. Rooms and common areas are generally very clean. Expect a boutique, service-first stay in the historic center.

Fantastic historic place oozing with charm. Staff is wonderful, always courteous and willing to help. So great to get back from a long walk around town to a glass of fresh juice (agua). This is my second time in 2 years and I know that I will be back yet again

I cannot recall ever having received such kind, attentive service from hotel staff. Right from arrival through to our departure five days later, all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful at all times/hours with everything from sightseeing and transportation advice to offering a complimentary umbrella during a rain storm. This exceptional level of service helped make our stay special. Entrance to the hotel was always immediate and a good level of security was evident at all times. The location is excellent (right near the Santa Domingo church) with the zocalo within a five minute walk. There is significant street/bar noise. With windows/blinds closed, the noise is not too intrusive, but on Friday/Saturday night, the pumping bass from a nearby rooftop intrudes until quite late (our room was adjacent to the main entrance on the street). The room was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay with a comfy bed, great A/C, but the bathrooms are getting a little in need of a reno. The rooftop patio is lovely with great views of the surrounding city. The simple included continental breakfast was basic (bread, pastry, fruits, fruit juice, coffee/tea) but tasty and nicely presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it.

The property was a 16th Century convent. Courtyard is super charming and the rooms were immaculate. In particular, I loved Don Jose's smile every time we walked up, Don Pepe's incredible breakfast, and Betty's efficient service. Lovely place.

My wife and I booked this boutique hotel at the heart of Oaxaca for a 4 day vacation. We arrived kind late due to a flight delay, and we were welcomed by the staff with hospitality. We were advised on the surrounding attractions, places to eat, and events of the day. Our room has a nice view of the central area, and a lovely terrace. Breakfast crew was also warm and friendly, and we were served fresh fruits and pastries everyday. Now the hotel does show its ages with cracking walls and rusty spots. It is the central area, so parking can be spotty on the weekend. It's also a bit noisy at night, so watch out if you are a light sleeper. Overall, this wonderful hotel makes up for the lack top notch hardware with a special touch of Mexican hospitality.

Hay para los huéspedes pequeños detalles extra que hacen la diferencia entre otros lugares. La entrada se encuentra siempre cerrada, lo que da seguridad al lugar. Felicitaciones!

We had a wonderful stay at the Palacio Borghese Hotel in Oaxaca. The staff were incredibly responsive, kind and helpful. Our room was sparkling. The manager was available and checked in on our comfort, and the building was just beautiful. The only thing we did not like was the level of noise on the street that we could hear in our room at all hours! We highly recommend this Hotel, however.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast, clean, comfortable rooms! We loved our stay and would stay again. They gave great recommendations and the area felt very safe. Was worried about the noise based on previous reviews and our room window being right off the street but with the mini split fan running and white noise on my phone we slept great and no problems with noise.

Rooms
Rooms are generally comfortable—some spacious and elegant. However, feedback is mixed: several guests found certain units dated, dark, or not matching photos (especially rooftop/top-floor rooms), and street or club noise can affect street-facing rooms on weekends.

Standard room is lower in price but subpar. It is located at the top floor through multiple stairs. Room is plain and closer to a 2-3 star hotel. Noise level can be high given bars across the street (very loud on weekends). Continental breakfast is very basic, service is great but the few employees that seem to work overtime. For $200 the location, and bed, clean bathroom is ok. More expensive rooms at the $350 mark merit a better look at other hotels like the Quinta Real. Disappointing.

Club next door was very loud, and the continental breakfast was good, but minimal for the price point, and the same everyday. The jacuzzi tub was too big for the small bathroom, and made it awkard to access the shower, but the service and staff were excellent. Great location, and a beautiful building.

This hotel is top notch and beautiful. The room we were in, "VENEZIA" was gorgeous and spacious. My family truly enjoyed it. At all moments of the day and night, there is a friendly staffer ready and willing to help in any way necessary. The location is excellent... just a short walk to the main avenue that heads down to the Zocalo. The hotel also hands out a list of recommended restaurants. We tried 2 on the list and there's a reason the hotel recommended them... 10/10 for each. We tried Casa Oaxaca and Los Danzantes. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for peace, quite, and luxury all wrapped into one.

Las fotos mostradas son de las habitaciones que son parte de la casona vieja donde está el hotel, sin embargo, construyeron 3 habitaciones en la azotea del inmueble que no son parte de la casa histórica y esas tres habitaciones están hechas con materiales ligeros y no tienen nada que ver con las fotos de los cuartos de la casa, que son solamente 5.

With windows/blinds closed, the noise is not too intrusive, but on Friday/Saturday night, the pumping bass from a nearby rooftop intrudes until quite late (our room was adjacent to the main entrance on the street). The room was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay with a comfy bed, great A/C, but the bathrooms are getting a little in need of a reno. The rooftop patio is lovely with great views of the surrounding city. The simple included continental breakfast was basic (bread, pastry, fruits, fruit juice, coffee/tea) but tasty and nicely presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at the Palacio Borghese Hotel in Oaxaca. The staff were incredibly responsive, kind and helpful. Our room was sparkling. The manager was available and checked in on our comfort, and the building was just beautiful. The only thing we did not like was the level of noise on the street that we could hear in our room at all hours! We highly recommend this Hotel, however.

My wife and I booked this boutique hotel at the heart of Oaxaca for a 4 day vacation. We arrived kind late due to a flight delay, and we were welcomed by the staff with hospitality. We were advised on the surrounding attractions, places to eat, and events of the day. Our room has a nice view of the central area, and a lovely terrace. Breakfast crew was also warm and friendly, and we were served fresh fruits and pastries everyday. Now the hotel does show its ages with cracking walls and rusty spots. It is the central area, so parking can be spotty on the weekend. It's also a bit noisy at night, so watch out if you are a light sleeper. Overall, this wonderful hotel makes up for the lack top notch hardware with a special touch of Mexican hospitality.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast, clean, comfortable rooms! We loved our stay and would stay again. They gave great recommendations and the area felt very safe. Was worried about the noise based on previous reviews and our room window being right off the street but with the mini split fan running and white noise on my phone we slept great and no problems with noise.

Club next door was very loud, and the continental breakfast was good, but minimal for the price point, and the same everyday. The jacuzzi tub was too big for the small bathroom, and made it awkard to access the shower, but the service and staff were excellent. Great location, and a beautiful building.

Dining
Breakfast is widely enjoyed; the complimentary continental option is tasty but simple and can feel repetitive, while a la carte dishes receive strong praise. Overall food quality is well regarded.

I cannot recall ever having received such kind, attentive service from hotel staff. Right from arrival through to our departure five days later, all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful at all times/hours with everything from sightseeing and transportation advice to offering a complimentary umbrella during a rain storm. This exceptional level of service helped make our stay special. Entrance to the hotel was always immediate and a good level of security was evident at all times. The location is excellent (right near the Santa Domingo church) with the zocalo within a five minute walk. There is significant street/bar noise. With windows/blinds closed, the noise is not too intrusive, but on Friday/Saturday night, the pumping bass from a nearby rooftop intrudes until quite late (our room was adjacent to the main entrance on the street).

The hotel was very comfortable and a short walk from the center of downtown. The staff were the most friendly and helpful with a shout out to Charley, Carlos, Jose and Firez. Breakfast was amazing with good variety.

The bathtub was too high to be able to use the shower. And they only supply a small bottle of water in the room. We were surprised that the breakfast included was only continental.
