 The staff was very friendly and helpful . A continental breakfast was served  to start the day. I enjoyed the beautiful gardens and two friendly old dogs around the entrance/courtyard. We would definitely stay here again.

Short Autumn Trip

Stayed 5 nights at the Hotel Las Mariposas. Here are a few of my thoughts.

* Location - Superb. You’re located in the heart of everything with all the big ticket items such as Templo De Santo Domingo, Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca and the Zocalo all within walking distance. The central area of Oaxaca in general we found very gentrified with numerous bars and restaurants and we felt safe being in this area, even when walking at night. Apart from Monte alban we were able to do everything on foot with this as a our base.

* Security - Good. They had iron gates which were locked 24/7 and you needed to be buzzed in by a attendant who was around near the reception area.

* Room - Basic and clean. Only fans but because of the altitude of Oaxaca it was cool enough at night even when we visited in July. Showers had hot water which worked but did often take a bit of time to heat up.

* Wifi - Good connectivity throughout the complex and decent speeds. Didn’t seem to drop out too much.

* Staff - One of the real highlights of staying in this place. Friendly and helpful at every opportunity. 

* Breakfast - Fairly minimal but totally adequate. Fresh coffee, breads and cereal served in the communal courtyard. 

Overall for the price point I felt like this was a great option for a mid-range traveller.

Additional tips
 - GYM - There is a large gym known as ‘black gimnasio’ located on Cosijoeza street which is the first street to the right that you see when exiting the hotel. It costs 70 mexican peso (weekdays) or 50 mexican pesos (weekend) for a casual workout. Probably a 200m walk.
- Laundry - Closest one we found was just next to the above gym on Cosijoeza 208 and was called Lavanderia Silav. It cost 20 mexican peso a kilogram and did a 24 hour turn around service.
- ATM - Closest is the HSBC which is located opposite the park, on the same street the hotel is on.

Excellent Mid Range Option

We loved our 1 week stay at Hotel Las Mariposas. They are a small family owned hotel located just a 10 minute walk from the Zócalo, close to Santo Domingo, and a half a block from the popular Parque El Llano. It’s also close to a variety of great coffee shops and restaurants. 

They have a variety of room options from small double rooms to large studios with kitchenettes. We stayed in one of each and despite the double being smaller, it was well thought out and nicely appointed to make our stay comfortable. There’s a variety of outdoor seating areas in garden settings, a larger patio area where people can gather for their daily coffee and continental breakfast that’s provided each morning, and a small sitting area with a TV. A shared kitchen is also provided for guest’s use. The rooms and grounds were spotless with special attention paid to being an eco-friendly hotel which we loved. The hotel has excellent Wifi and small safes are installed in the rooms. There is someone on duty 7x24 who was also responsible for front gate access. 

Lastly, but most importantly, the people working at Las Mariposas were amazing. Always friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to make you feel at home. A special shout-out to Cristel who provided us with outstanding customer service.

A Home Away From Home

Nice chilled place with comfortable rooms, nice common areas and friendly and helpful staff. Good location yet still quiet, only a ten minute walk from the Zocalo and close to the most beautiful area of the city. Stayed 5 nights and would recommend

Nice and chilled

Just spent 10 very quiet nights and pleasant days at Las Mariposas. 

Coffee with lovely pastries and conversation began at 8:00. Flakes and milk was provided also. In the room Wifi was some of the best I’ve had in Mexico. 

Front desk is 24 hours. Great for late nights out or arrivals from the airport. You must be buzzed into the hotel through the locked gate at the entrance. Street vendors and beggars are not allowed inside to disturb guests. In-room mini safes were just installed. 

All the service and staff here was exemplary and seemed to be very trustworthy and conscious of their responsibilities and obligations to their guests. Always cheerful and happy in their jobs. A sign of good management. 

Excellent location. Walking distance to everything. Taxis are easy to flag and cost 50 pesos around the centro. Upon departure, the hotel can print your boarding pass and arrange an early morning taxi pickup.

Cristel is a superb owner / manager / translator / trip advisor / Internet fixer / with a good sense of humor. She was there more often than not and would help you in any way. I will miss this accommodation. It has a feeling of “being home” about it. But not for very long as I already asked for my room again next Dia de los Muertos!

Lovely accommodation in magical Oaxaca. Soon to return.

ROOM: My rm had king bed/kitchenette and was in back of last courtyard so I would sometimes leave door open for breeze. Floor fan worked fine for sleeping. Kitchenette well stocked for cooking but nothing for coffee. Very quiet and good lighting.

STAFF: Outstandingly friendly/helpful staff, alert to help. The hotel suggests you leave ~10% of rm cost w/front office who distributes to all staff.

HOTEL: You can get 10% discount if pay in cash. Whimsical art/décor. Very cheerful and safe. Gate is locked, buzzed open to enter.

LOCATION: ATM 1.5 blocks away, across from park. Also nieves shop, coffee shop. 

COURTYARDS: wonderful to walk through - flowers - birds - vines - trees - water features - art.

BREAKFAST: I only had breakfast in the courtyard once. My friend and I bought eggs, fruit and veggies and made omelets in my kitchenette because we needed the protein. 

TAXI SERVICE: Taxi service around Centro is 50 pesos.  If you want to visit villages or guarantee yourself very early morning airport pick up you could book through hotel. They set us up with Pepe, son of Margo who works at hotel. Fee was about $12.50 USD per hour, well worth it.  I've taken other taxis to villages and the ride was not comfortable, drivers not much help. 
If you book with Pepe through the hotel, you will be riding with a very nice, considerate, careful, knowledgeable man.

Peaceful haven amidst a busy city

Would recommed this place, staff was very friendly helping us find transportation for other little towns we were heading to, rooms were very clean and cozy, silent and private for a small hotel, would definetely recommend!

Excellent spot!

Love the green efforts of Las Mariposas! Solar panels, recycling, short showers encouraged (water is scarce in Oaxaca), grey water used in beautiful garden, and filtered water available for reusable water bottles. Yea!

Eco friendly and fabulous

We spent three nights here and would happily stay there again if we return to Oaxaca. It is has good but basic rooms set around a cool and quiet courtyard, and the staff are very friendly. It feels like a genuine family hotel - which it is.  The staff were always friendly and helpful. Breakfast  in the courtyard was a great way to start each day: the ladies there smiled and laughed, and the coffee more than compensated for the local pastries: perhaps they are wonderful, but in three days I couldn't get used to so much sugar. There was always the cereal.

The room was big enough and I loved the bed - very big and firm, and the wifi was perfect. The bathroom was small, but adequate, although the tiny alcove with the hand-basin was not designed for people with shoulders. 

The location is great - a block or two away from the overcrowded streets, so it felt like a refuge, but it was still close enough to the main parts of the town (for tourists, anyway). We walked everywhere for three days, and always liked coming back.

Quiet, close, good value, friendly

Beautiful property and grounds. Rooms are on the smaller side but very nice and clean and well kept. Nice simple breakfast of bread, coffee, and cereal served in their courtyard. Very helpful staff - some of them spoke English and all were helpful and kind. Perfect location on nice & safe street close to santo Domingo.
