Hotel always one step above a flophouse. Location

Hotel always one step above a flophouse. Location is excellent. This could be a great place if they would redo furniture and maintenance on the hotel. If you just need a basic place to stay and don’t expect much OK.

Solo tuvimos problema que al llegar el hotel principal no tenían las reservación completa y nos faltaba un cuarto! En el happy express hotel también no se dijeron que la aplicación no se había actualizado y ya no estaba disponible una de las habitaciones que se había reservado por la aplicación!

Amabilidad e inmejorable ubicación.

El personal del hotel es muy amable y atento, las habitaciones son amplias, peto las camas son un poco viejas y la tv no servía. Las condiciones generales del hotel muestran cierto deterioro, aunque es un lugar lindo. El baño, aunque anticuado funciona bien, sobre todo la regadera con mucha presión relaja después de un día de mucha caminata. Lo mejor es que es muy céntrico, se puede ir a todos lis lugares de interés de la ciudad caminando. El precio de las habitaciones es muy razonable. Recomiendo este hotel por su increíble ubicación, por el precio de las habitaciones y por la atención y amabilidad de su personal.

Hotel Principal en Oaxaca

Me tuvieron que cambiar de habitación porque el drenaje del sanitario estaba tapado, en la nueva habitación, poca ventilación y el abanico no funcionaba. Por la noche no hay personal calificado de recepción, solo un velador que no resuelve temas que puedan surgir
