Had an extremely pleasant stay end of Feb/ early March 08. Staff was very friendly, but desk staff had rather limited grasp of English. Restaurant was fairly good, but one the one evening meal was accompanied by a bland mole. Restaurant too noisy with active street location and door/windows (2) wide open all the time. Decorating was very nice and... more

I recently spent three nights at this hotel and found the staff extremely friendly, the building and room immaculate and nicely appointed, and the restaurant and location (two blocks from the zocalo) excellent. We requested a quiet room, and were given an interior room mostly insulated from street noise. The only downsides were that there was a rowdy group also... more

We learned a lot about lovely Oaxaca during our five-night stay, including the fact that the Zocalo is the center of the universe and that honking is the town's unofficial sport. If we had it to do over, I probably would have booked in a quieter neighborhood. The lovely stone and tile work of the Parador San Miguel amplify every... more

We stayed at Parador San Miguel in Oaxaca City for four nights and were satisfied with the choice. The location is excellent, just a block or two from the Zocalo, which is extremely pleasant at night, and a few blocks from Alcala, the main pedestrian shopping street. Several of the markets are just a few blocks south. The lobby and... more

My wife and I are simply amazed that the Parador San Miguel is rated so highly here. With the exception of a well-intentioned staff, we can think of anything good to say about this place. For $139/night, we got a windowless room with a broken toilet and perennially leaky faucet. Actually there was one window: a frosted-glass number in the... more

I booked the Parador after reading the great reviews on trip advisor. Most of the reviews are right on. The place is very clean. The regular rooms are small but with a good lay out. If you are going to Oaxaca to relax you do not want to stay here as there is no place to relax other than your... more

This is a gem of a hotel. Very friendly service, very clean and beautiful with Mexican tile floors nice inner courtyard etc. Only two blocks from the Zocolo where all the action is and lots of restaurants. In hotel restaurant very good for breakfast and dinners. We loved this place. Rooms can be small but very nice clean, and livable. more

We stayed in this hotel in February and our experience mirrors most of the other reviews on this forum-clean, great location near the Zocolo, reasonable rates and an excellent restaurant. The staff was very friendly also. The only possible negative aspect is that some of the rooms windows face the interior corridor which some people might not like. However the... more

The Parador San Miguel was the cleanest hotel we've ever stayed in. There was someone scrubbing the steps or polishing the windows or dusting the floor all the time. Our room was rather small and did not have a window to the outside but it was very quiet and very tastefully decorated. The hotel had a wonderful Mexican atmosphere and... more
