Hotel Boutique Parador San Miguel Oaxaca

Beautiful, comfortable small hotel close to the Zocolo. The staff is friendly, helpful and professional. They carried our bags up and down the stairs, called taxis and took care of all of our needs. The hotel surrounds a beautiful courtyard where you can order a drink or a meal and relax and listen to the calls of caged birds. We had breakfast there every morning, a delicious and a wonderful convenience. This parador has a charming, traditional feel.

The hotel is on Calle Indepencia, a busy, noisy main street. The rooms face the courtyard, so rooms are quite but you can hear trucks from the courtyard and the restaurant. Not a major concern, just mentioning if for those who seek 100% quite. Or course Oaxaca is a noisy, bustling city so best to just to roll with it!

I paid for the included breakfast, and it was fantastic. Definitely spring for the pan dulce option, which I believe is 25 pesos, well worth it. Also, the rooftop terrace is amazing and when I was there (late March) I had the whole thing to myself.

Honestly I was happy with everything. I stayed on one of the inner-facing rooms on the third floor, and I had a great sleep. However, I can imagine that if you were a light sleeper, any room facing the street, especially on the first or second floor, could possibly be loud due to street noise. But this is a nitpick, I did not have that problem.

Overall, we had a very nice stay at the Parador San Miguel. We loved the romantic historic architecture and the location was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The jacuzzi tubs were very slippery when wet. The bellman should recommend using the bath mat as well as signage that encourages using the bath mat when taking a shower. Our suite during our first 3 day stay was a good size and the view of the courtyard from the windows was very pleasant. However, I was disappointed that there was no window in the suite when we were put in a suite on the ground floor when we returned for a one night stay after visiting Puerto Escondido.

Great location, only a couple blocks from the main plaza. Beautifully decorated boutique hotel. Excellent service throughout the hotel, all the staff was very nice. Hilario, our waiter, who works very hard was especially attentive on providing great service. The hotel was very clean and the restaurant is pretty good. We loved waking up with the birds at the courtyard singing throughout the day. If we return to Oaxaca we will definitely stay there again.

We had some problems with the toilet clogging, but it was fixed right away. The bed was a little hard, but the pillows were great. Our room was on the third floor, and because there is no elevator, it was a little hard going up from a long day. Although our room was quiet on the third floor, the second floor would have been much better because of the stairs.

This hotel was just what we were looking for. Close to the Zocalo, many great restaurants, within walking distance of popular tourist sights like the old cathedral, garden, markets, etc. Our room (a suite with king bed) was well-decorated and spacious. The bathroom was well-equipped. Everything was very clean. Drinking water was supplied every day. The staff made us feel at home. We ate breakfast there every morning and one dinner and one lunch in the hotel restaurant, which was convenient and the food was surprisingly good.

Not really a complaint, just info... because we signed up (and paid) for breakfast, the standard offering (full American breakfast) got a little old. However, it is possible to modify what you get...you may have to pay more for some things. Just for example, the standard American breakfast includes eggs, a meat, rather unexciting dry-ish French bread slices, diced fruit, fresh orange juice and a small amount of refried beans. You can request tortillas as a free replacement for the bread and make tacos!

We loved our stay at Hotel Boutique Parador and would highly recommend it! The location was perfect - central and only a couple blocks to everything we wanted to see. The hotel is adorable, so colorful and charming. Our room was so cute and very clean. I never like walking barefoot on hotel floors but the floor in our room was clean enough to eat off of. The best part of this hotel was the staff. Everyone was so sweet and so accommodating. They were ready to help with anything we needed and made us feel like nothing was an inconvenience. Truly lovely people.

The hotel was beautiful, in traditional Mexican style. The staff at the reception desk were super friendly and helpful - recommending tours, restaurants that specialize in my favorite Oaxacan dish (Almendrado). The room was enormous, the bed was super comfortable with very nice, soft linens. The restaurant food was very good and reasonably priced. And when we arrived they gave us a free little Mezcal cocktail (Donajito) that was simply delicious. Finally the hotel was only 1 1/2 blocks from the Zocalo (central square) and cathedral in an area surrounded by restaurants, galleries and places to shop. And yet far enough that it was quiet enough to sleep at night. Simply a delightful hotel.

One of the younger waiters in the restaurant was very slow and forgetful and we had to repeat orders that he had forgotten multiple times. (But the other waiters were great and super helpful).

Parador San Miguel is a little jewel in the heart of Oaxaca, within walking distance to the markets, museums, zocalo, historical churches and restaurants. The hotel is tastefully decorated with paintings and Oaxacan handicrafts and other beautiful paraphernalia. I particularly loved the birds in their fancy cages. The personnel is friendly and eager to help in any way. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and cleanliness was constantly maintained.

Can't think of much. Perhaps a small concern was the lack of daylight in our room.

Hotel location is perfect. Pretty and clean room and amazing staff.

The room had no windows (I was told all rooms have only internal windows), was on the main corridor of enterence to the hotel and the bathroom window opened to a service room which was very awkward as staff came in and out all day.

Every detail about the Hotel was great! The Staff was friendly ,professional and helpful and went beyond their duties. The location was excellent. We walked just about everywhere. Staff sign us up for tours and taxis when needed. Coffee Cafes and restaurants abound. But the real gem was the Hotel's Restaurant which served a mix of Mexican, Italian and American cuisines. This is my go to Hotel on my next trip back to Oaxaca!

Only thing was no chest of drawers but the extra long couch served the purpose well.
