I just stayed here for a week during Dias de los Muertos and Posada de Chencho was one of the few places available that I found. What a nice surprise it was. Toño and Flor are so very lovely and helpful in every way. My Spanish was lacking but I really didn't need to ask for much. The breakfasts were outstanding. Every morning we had seasonal fruit, fresh bread and a special egg dish of some sort... all very delicious. Oh and I forgot about the hot chocolate!

The rooms are very basic but very clean. There wasn't a room safe, per se, but a lockable cabinet for valuables. Water pressure is lacking but the water was at least hot. If we showered at "off" hours, I would always make sure with Toño that the hot water was turned on.

The hotel was fairly quiet, as it is outside of the center (about a 15-20 minute walk.
If you need a taxi, it's a 5 minute drive into the centro for about 50-60 pesos.)...except for that day when the comparsa ended up right outside (or close to the hotel) at 3:30 AM!

There was also a pretty patio area and hammocks where you can relax when you're not out touring about. The rooms do NOT have air conditioning, only a fan. It seemed to not be an issue as the windows don't face the outside where the sun can come in and heat up a room. (most face the courtyard)

Highly recommended. Also they only take cash, so be aware.

My friend and I loved our stay here! It’s an easy walk to the town center, the main market and other great neighborhoods. The owners and staff were so helpful and friendly. The breakfasts are fabulous and we had a different typical Oaxaca’s dish each day. The setting is lovely with the central garden area and beautiful colors. We went on two different tours coordinated through the staff that were filled with interesting activities at a very reasonable cost. I definitely recommend La Posada de Chencho!
