What guests think

Quinta Real Oaxaca draws praise for its breathtaking historic convent setting, serene courtyards and pool, walkable central location, and welcoming staff, while repeated critiques point to small or dated rooms, occasional noise from events, and pricey dining.

Guests frequently highlight spotless housekeeping and memorable breakfasts with live music. Facilities impress with lush gardens and historic spaces, though there is no elevator, parking is off-site, and the gym disappoints some. Bathrooms and in-room amenities can feel dated, with low showers or quirks like weak controls or slow drainage. Expect a beautiful heritage stay with polished service and a few comfort trade-offs.

Felicidades a todo el personal que hace que tu estancia en este hotel sea muy agradable, el único detalle que recomiendo para mejorar es el tiempo de espera del vehículo, ya que al no contar con estacionamiento se tiene que trasladar el vehículo fuera de la propiedad y en esta ocasión tardó demasiado en que llegara al hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The attention of the staff is outstanding since the very first day they make us feel welcome and very comfortable. I loved the breakfast at the hotel restaurant, every morning they had guitar duo singing boleros and traditional mexican songs. The food was delicious and on weekends they have a very complete mexican food buffet. My kids loved the large pool. The property had some events for the Guelaguetza which were really nice. The location is great, two blocks away from Santo Domingo plaza and walkable distance to restaurants, art gallerias, local markets, coffee shops, main square and main streets. Great hotel.

Mi unico comentario seria que llame dos veces al hacer la reserva y un dia amtes de mi estancia para cerciorarme que estuvieran calentando la alberca y estaba heladísima! Esta fue la razon por la que bookee con ustedes.

I had a wonderful stay overall, the hotel exudes charm and comfort with friendly staff, a cozy atmosphere, and a great location close to everything I needed. The room was spacious and well-kept, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The only drawback was the bathroom. While clean, the shower and plumbing definitely showed their age. Drainage was slow. Water pressure was good. A small update there would make the experience perfect. Despite that, the overall service and ambiance more than made up for it. I’d happily stay here again once the bathrooms get a little refresh.

The Quinta Real is a very nice property in the center of town but not too busy. The staff are lovely and attentive. It didn’t seem too busy but we weren’t upgraded and the King room on the side on the 2nd floor was tight tight tight. Well appointed and all but tiny.

Perfect location for exploring the city. In the middle to everything- great restaurants and all the sights. We are able to witness the Guelaguetza festival and head back to the room for a rest in a well soundproofed room. It’s a beautiful converted convent with unique architecture and still with modern amenities. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is beautiful/ancient as are the courtyards and pool. The location is fantastic and the Zocalo, excellent dining and main Cathedral are within blocks. The rooms are rather sparse and dark. The bathroom in my room could use an update - seal broken on shower head and cracked/chipped tiles. The check in/check out process was a tad unfriendly and dour. It doesn’t feel like a happy place for the staff.

Loved the historical details and beautiful outdoor setting especially the pool area and gardens of this former convent. Our room was a superior room on the second floor with a nice renovated bathroom. The room was small but cosy and the beds were very comfortable with high quality linens. We enjoyed our 4 night stay here for the most part. Breakfasts and the dinner we had were delicious! Most front staff were very courteous and helpful; however this morning when we checked out we were accused of taking water from the mini bar ( which we hadn’t) Not a great way to end what would have been a 5 star stay. My husband offered to pay for the water but I assured them we didn’t take any then I had to sign a form re this!! Also some of the other staff didn’t seem happy working there, particularly some breakfast staff and concierge? seemed annoyed when we asked for more bottled water. For the high price that this hotel charges all staff should be trained to treat their patrons well and a smile goes a long way.

Well located. Beautiful pool area. Rooms ok. Beds quite hard. Often we had no hot water. I gave concierge 200 pesos to help set up a tour for us and I never heard one word back about it. I requested an early ride to the airport and was specific about NO VAN and got a van. Was frustrating.

Above all, I can’t say enough good things about the service from all of the staff. They were all so kind and we were so well taken care of during our stay. The front desk staff were so professional and helped us book private taxi drivers for trips to Hierve El Agua and Monte Alban, and they never steered us wrong with their recommendations. The location of the hotel was perfect for easy sight seeing as well. I can’t recommend this place enough! We will absolutely be staying here the next time we are in Oaxaca.

Property has the bones of a beautiful structure. Staff is not very competent or hospitable. Could not give us an estimate on check in so we kept asking, he kept saying “ I am waiting to hear from housekeeping”. Finally we were given keys at 3:30pm, well after check in time. Rooms are very dated - coffee machine is a traditional brew machine. Our room phone didn’t work. Yeah not great.

Quinta Real Oaxaca is an amazing property which transports you to a different era- it started its life as a monastery in the 16th century. The garden are incredible and beautifully kept. The room was beautiful - with furniture matching the Spanish colonial style of the hotel; two blocks from Santo Domingo church and monastery so convenient to sights but inside an oasis of calmness. I can’t say enough good things about this property; the weekend brunch was excellent and my only comment for improvement would be the dinner options which were good but the quality could be elevated. (There were some inconsistencies- some dishes were very good, some less so); overall I highly recommend this hotel.
