Hotel Marques del Valle

Hotel is conveniently located next to the Zocalo. Loved the opportunity to visit street vendors and admire folk art. Hotel service was great and restaurant was open late.

It is an incredibly noisy hotel. As if the noise from the street music and central plaza not enough, then allow huge groups of young people to party, run the corridors and scream out loud. The stuff is extremely helpfull and it is not their fault they can't deal with techncal issues or with overall noise, but my recommendation would be not to get seduced by a central location and look for a place where you can sleep at night. I lost 80$ because one night I had to go and look for another hotel and change it quuickly.

You would want to stay at Hotel Marques Del Valle to experience the folk culture in Oaxaca. Every morning, you will wake up to charming patriotic or other folks songs, and in the evening will be delighted by the sights and sounds of the festivities in Zocalo, where the hotel is located. A real gem. Unfortunately, due to an ongoing renovation, the building is noisy 9-6 these days; the bathroom in the room I stayed at had several issues. Hopefully, once the renovation is complete, all issues will be resloved. Staff were extremely polute, helpful, and patient with a non-spanish speaker like me. They made the stay enjoyable. But above all the noise, nuisance with the bathroom, the stay at a Room With a View of the Zocalo made the stay at Hotel Marques Del Valle special and memorable.

My wife and I stayed here for a week and we loved the experience. While this hotel has some age to it, it is well maintained not to mention charming and vibrant. The service here is very good from the front desk to housekeeping. The upper level pool area is a good place to relax and catch some sun. While this property does not have a restaurant, there are plenty of them within walking distance. Asa bonus, this hotel is affiliated with another that has a dedicated beach area and a great restaurant. Por cierto, I would certainly visit here again.
