Hotel Escondido Oaxaca, a Member of Design Hotels

This was a fabulous hotel. We were talking today before we left how everyone looked after us like it was a family run hotel. We need to learn more Spanish because the staff were so apologetic when we didn't understand them. THe location is great fir a short walk into the peak areas for the parades and music. And our balcony room allowed a view of the sunrise and we could hear the music from Zocalo! I also benefited from the 25 min walk-up to Cerro el Fortin. Nice breakfast. Great cocktails. But simply lovely staff around the clock. We will be back.

We loved the Hotel Escondido Oaxaca – the location was excellent and the Escondido was a welcome shelter at the end of each long day of touring. The city views from the rooftop bar were a huge bonus. The decor was contemporary, yet the colors and style drew directly from Oaxaca – the greens in the room were very much reminiscent of the cantera verde found virtually everywhere in Centro. We were pleased at how private our room was, despite the fact that our balcony room overlooked a shared courtyard. Of course, when the rooms were occupied below, sometimes it didn't register for the patio room guests that their voices would carry so clearly to the upper floors of the courtyard. Our balcony room was small and could have used a few more hooks, but there was ample, creative storage in the entryway closets. More hangers would have been useful, as we were at the hotel for a week. It rained nearly every afternoon and parts of most nights, which was fantastic due to room's open walls. It was also handy that we could close them, given the noise of the cantina across the street during Oaxaca Pride. I will note that Oaxaca is a city and overall is very noisy. If you're sensitive to noise, pack ear plugs! The hotel service was excellent, with a doorman greeting us at the front entrance 24/7 and a nearly invisible cleaning staff taking care of our room each day. We closed out our room credit card the night before due to the early hour of our departure, but didn't expect the time to register with the desk clerk. We were pleasantly surprised to find the doorman waiting outside our door at 4:15 a.m. to carry our bags out for our 4:30 a.m. hotel departure.

We stayed at Hotel Escondido during our recent visit to Oaxaca. The hotel is well located which allowed us to walk around at all hours safely. The conversion of an old building makes for an interesting accommodation. Our room was nicely appointed and quite comfortable and the service was good.

I am a Marriott ambassador so I chose this hotel to receive points and nights and the amenities of the advertised concierge lounge included as well as the breakfast included. Unfortunately none of these were up to the standards of a Marriott. The concierge lounge was actually a concierge "desk" that helped make reservations for restaurants. Not a lounge. Very big difference and I have let Marriot know because this is very misleading. Also their included breakfast is a cold one which is not what an elite member breakfast is usually. The reviews that mention noise are completely accurate. Need earplugs. Rooms very small if not the suites and quite claustrophobic with no place to put anything.

Great hotel in oaxaca and beautifully decorated. It was very relaxing to go back to the hotel after being out in the city. The staff was super accomadating and helpful. It was easy to get around from this location as most things were quite walkable.

Room was very comfortable, beautiful view of the city and hotel overall had amazing design with very good service. Staff was very attentive. location was convenient, albeit off the Santa Domingo. Easy access to the town, but also easy to get in/out for airport and excursions.
