I only ate in the restaurant, but the Enchiladas Suizas were great and so was the service and attention from my waiter, Gil.  The building is a colonial style, just as it appears in the picture.  The restaurant is in the inner courtyard of the building.

Quiet atmosphere on the Alameda

A very nicely located hotel with very nice and large rooms, very reasonably priced. The food was good and inexpensive. The rooms facing the church gave you the feel of being amid the activity and action. Just few feet away you have the whole center of town, restaurants and bars and a whole lot of stands selling arts and crafts.
The only downside, no AC in the place, only an oscillating fan.

Great Location excellent rooms.

GREAT  location - RIGHT on the Zocalo (which is really lively into the night - be aware).  Charming, old style hotel.  We had a room on the second floor with a balcony facing the square - lovely beamed, high ceilings; good airflow with the french doors open; nice shower with plenty of hot water; good mattresses.  Very comfortable.  The hotel is arranged around a covered courtyard where, if you are lucky, a Guelaguetzl (folk dancing) performance is staged (it's free for hotel guests and you shouldn't miss it it's on while you are there). There is a restaurant with really economical daily menus - the markets are SO CLOSE, literally right around the corner, that we mostly ate there.   Better service than one might expect at this price - young men at the desk carried our luggage up, down and to the taxi stand for the airport and they arranged for a taxi for a day.  Only the owner speaks English, but they are all professionals who can practically guess what you need. Recommend the Hotel Monte Alban without reservation and will stay there next time we visit Oaxaca

INCREDIBLE VALUE

For what you pay, this was a great hotel to stay at.  It is steps away from the Zocalo.  Zocalo is the central plaza in Oaxaca, that has fine restaurants, a big church, weekend market, numerous types of stores; basically the center of activity.  From here it is easy to visit the colonial part of Oaxaca, take trips to Monte Alban etc.    The hotel is a converted colonial house, with a big courtyard in the middle and rooms along the walls with balconies on all four sides.  Lots of locals were seen living here.  The room was a good size with a King bed and semi-good bed linens.  The room had a safe and the bathroom had a shower with hot water.  Hotel seemed pretty safe, with a good front desk person.   The restaurant serves good food with good service.   the taxi cannot stop in front of the hotel, as it is in a pedestrian only zone.  So, you may have to walk half a block to get into the hotel.   For the price you pay, it was a good bargain and the location made it even better stay.

Zocalo Location, Shoppig, Good Restaurant and Cheap Prices

Excellent service

Walked to Hotel Monte Alban, on the square, and checked in. The receptionist did not speak English, but we conversed by Goggle Translate. We had a large room on the second floor. Double balcony doors opened to the square. Two comfortable queen beds. Table and chair for writing, but no lamp. In-room safe available, although small, and the bellman watched to see that you were operating it correctly and thus saw your combination. Large shower with hot water. Toilet area was very restricted. Wall mounted fan available, no AC. Since there were no screens on the windows or balcony doors we did have mosquitoes in the room. Dining available in the downstairs courtyard. Economically priced and great location. Would use this hotel if and when we return to Oaxaca.

Great Hotel and Great Location

I was delighted with this old hotel that was converted from the Bishop of Oaxaca House.  The coverted Nuns rooms were too small for me but the double room with a queen size bed was perfect.  No AC but Oaxaca is usually cool at night.
the big open center space on the srt flooor is is very nice-- old Mexcio decor
and Guelaguetza dancing for 2 hours during the evening meal was a real treat.  Beautiful costumes and exciting to watch.
The price of the rooms is very reasonable and you are  located right on the Zocala.

A little Gem on the Zocala

I stayed in two different places in Oaxaca City during my recent trip, including 4 nights at Hotel Monte Alban. While the other place was also great in many respects, Hotel Monte Alban turned out to be the perfect place for me. First, you literally can't beat its location right on the plaza in front of the cathedral by the zocalo. I was worried that there might be some noise with being in such a central location, but my room (#16) was very quiet, which is very important to me. I don't know about rooms overlooking the plaza with balconies, but I didn't hear street noise to speak of at all. And the room itself was huge -- with 14-foot ceilings, a massive king-sized bed, plenty of pillows, a fan on the wall pointed down on to the bed, and a nice, big bathroom with plenty of hot water at all hours. The hotel's charming architecture, historic courtyard, and glass ceiling give an authentic Old World feel to the property, and I would definitely stay here again. Unfortunately breakfast is not included in the room price, but that was ok as there are lots of eating options mere steps away on the zocalo. I did eat breakfast there one morning and also dinner one night in the restaurant, and it was fine -- though not overly special, especially in a town known for its amazing gastronomy. Overall, this hotel is a great value for such a great location, and I would highly recommend it, especially for mid-range budget travelers. 

Great location, great value

This beautiful building is nestled on the corner of a tree-lined market and zocalo.  The internal structure is a beautiful mix of architecture and old world elegance.  The staff are all so genteel and nice and helpful.  Breakfast is wonderful and fresh - and there are pretty little birds singing in a cage to help welcome the day.  Our room had a balcony overlooking the square where children played and we could hear an orchestra one evening.  Just wonderful.
