Casa Carmen Reforma0

Casa Carmen is a beautiful place to stay: we stayed an entire week and loved this oasis. The staff is extremely pleasant, warm, professional, and willing to help out in all kinds of ways!!! Our room (on the ground level) was immaculately clean and we loved having the privacy of the patio. The upstairs rooms and patios are larger (but not available for our trip). The artwork is sublime; we felt like we were sleeping in a gallery. Breakfast is made to order from a creative menu featuring Mexican dishes as well as oatmeal, avocado toast, and yogurt.

We definitely heard some traffic at night and music on the weekend, however, it didn't bother us. If we shut the bathroom door, it helped to mute the sounds. We've stayed at other hotels in Oaxaca, both large and small, and some noise is part of life in an environment such as this.

A quiet Boutique Hotel…Almost like a large home vs a Hotel… only 4 rooms tucked in an open air beautiful space on Reforma street… We adored the staff! Extremely attentive to my family & breakfast every morning was a delight with their Chef Ivan! A lot of delicious- ness came out of his small but thorough kitchen! Yummy add ons if asked ! The room was lovely and a huge bed … cool bathroom… Plenty of storage… LOVED the mini fridge with beer & goodies ! Alejandro is gracious & so willing to assist you! His English was very helpful! My son in law speaks Spanish which was a life saver! Clean & great walking location! A few issues but we were flexible!

Considering it all… There were issues with the WI-FI for a few days but a technician came out & it helped! The upstairs veranda deck rooms are more susceptible to street noise but they have Thick glass doors that help! Sitting outside with a beverage was fabulous though ! Never got Hot Water - HOT enough for a outdoor tub experience on the deck… My daughter was disappointed! Inside it took 10-15 mins to get Hot for face wash but shower was quicker ! If you want an active place this is not it- no bar or late night vibe! We did have a wedding reception next door that thumped till 2:15AM but that is not on them! We enjoyed the chill vibe !

Wow! beautiful property, made us feel like it was our home. The genuine reason was the staff, especially Miriam. They went out of their way to make us feel so special. Breakfast was amazing! we were treated to a whole range of Oaxacan specialities, and amazing home made salsas. Best Hot Chocolate we had. The rooms were beautiful, very comfortable beds and lots of outdoor space to relax in. Fantastic location, close walk to some great restaurants and bars. We were able to find parking quite easily on the street. Absolutely loved it, and wish we had stayed a little longer. A true gem of a find.

Nothing ! A gem of a place. Wish we had stayed longer.

I loved everything about this beautiful hotel. With only 4 rooms It’s set up to feel more like a home you have been welcomed into. The entire staff was exceptional and went out of their way to attend any need. I loved my room, the huge patio and floor to ceiling windows which bathed the room in natural light. It was such a wonderful place to relax after a day exploring the city. I stayed at a few other boutique hotels while I was in Oaxaca and this was by far my favorite. I will definitely be back.

The bed was incredibly comfortable. The room was tastefully designed, as was the entire hotel. There are only 4 rooms so you're really well looked after. They brought amazing breakfasts to the room every morning. We had our fill of corn tacos etc, and our English stomachs were struggling, so we were able to have baked oatmeal, orange juice and other fresh green smoothies. Was great. The staff were helpful and friendly. They gave amazing mezcal cocktails when we arrived. The patio room is amazing, and we were able to lie down and enjoy the sun for hours, getting away from the quick madness of Oaxaca City. The bathroom is absolutely unbelievable. What a beautiful space. There is a sun hat provided, bath stuff for the outside bath, Molten Brown shower gel, conditioner and shampoo. There's a great safe, umbrella, slippers and bathrobes. A great stay. There's also a small fridge full of great snacks and booze. There's a supermarket down the road which is of course cheaper, but it's nice when you're boiling and want a quick beer. Also an amazing location! Really only 5 minutes till you hit amazing restaurants, and a 30 second walk from a small hole-in-the-wall Meszcal bar.

Nothing could have been better from the hotel. Things outside the hotel's control: It's a loud city, music, cars, police, celebrations for weddings, funerals, christenings, so if you're looking for a really quiet stay, then this might not be for you. During the night it was very quiet, but the city is buzzing (as are the bugs) up to about 9pm and the city wakes up at about 6am. It reminded me very much of the Riads in Morocco. Outside is chaotic, quick, loud, energetic, but then you step into a riad and you feel safe and calm, this is the same with Casa Carmen.

Great location boutique hotel. Breakfast was served in our room with an exceptional and diverse number of menu options. Loved having some outdoor space including a soaking tub. Staff was wonderful and helpful with anything on-site.

Noisy club on the block but only on Saturday night. Would not let it deter you from booking since the other nights are fine.

Casa Carmen was a very special experience. Since the moment we checked in we appreciated how this place noticed every detail of your stay. It's a very intimate experience with only 4 rooms. We had breakfast included and enjoyed the food and expresso they had for us. The room was beautiful and so well decorated. Everything was clean and eclectic. On top of that the location was perfect, far enough from the zocola but close enough to everything with a Juicery across the street that had amazing ginger shots for less that $1. I loved it here and recommend to anyone staying in Oaxaxa Centro.

Nothing, everything was perfect. At first it was kind of weird that we had to knock to enter the the venue but later that added to the safety of everything, like we had 24/7 door service.

The location is wonderful. It is close to the busy center (about 5 blocks) which is great because it’s not as noisy and you don’t get a lot of foot traffic outside of the hotel. very comfy bed and loved the outdoor tub and hammock!

you have to ring the doorbell to access the hotel each time you return. they have someone who always opens the door. so it’s a matter of preference

Every attention to detail was well thought out. Bathroom fixtures were rock solid and well designed and extravagant. the linens, bath towels, bath product were all high-end and go with the general theme. The location is fab too, and room flowers, flowers for the terrace, all amazing details

Nice rooms, great staff. They were always looking after us.

Area might be a bit noisy and in our room we could hear a lot of what was happening in the hallway which was directly opposite to the reception.
