Escondido Oaxaca

First time in Oaxaca and I certainly look forward to going back. Hotel Escondido was a perfect place to stay, fairly central to the center of Oaxaca City and with excellent and friendly staff. the rooms are architecturally interesting and the courtyard offers a relaxed space to chill. A perfect base for exploring all that Oaxaca has to offer.

The hotel is beautifully designed with modern, comfortable, high-ceilinged rooms and ours that opened onto a sunny patio and lounge area, perfect for afternoon coffee/tea or just hanging out. A roof-top bar with awesome cocktails (hibiscus and mezcal cocktail was our favorite) and excellent food. The staff are very warm and helpful. Most importantly, the front desk helped us organize several guided tours which were the highlight of our stay. Their recommendations on where to go, what to see and where to eat and taste mezcal were eye-opening and exhilarating. Also, they connected us with a very knowledgable guide who took us not only to the main historical sites but also to local markets and helped us access the incredible flavors of Oaxaca cuisine. We can’t wait to return!

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.

I cannot say enough about the hotel's staff. They were exceptional - welcoming, considerate, and amazingly helpful. The hotel is beautifully designed and feels like an oasis within the city of Oaxaca. We had the cutest garden-level room that I would highly recommend.

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.
