We only stayed one night and the restaurant looked good but was closed on Sunday. Excellent location! The hotel was very clean and comfortable. There was noise from a nightclub but we ignored it and slept well.

It's a nice hotel, clean, centrally located. Staff is excellent and helpful. Things to know: pay for your room in advance (we weren't given the option) because if your traveling from another country they don't accept credit card, they request a Zelle or similar bank transfer and the exchange rate is at their discretion. We expected this and brought MX $ in cash to avoid this. Oaxaca is cold in Dec, hotel rooms have no heat. Blankets provided are thin, request more. Mattress and pillows are hard, we could live with it but someone with back issues might not do well. Hotel is close to el Zocala and Mercados Juarez (fresh produce, leather goods, handmade crafts) & 20 de Noviembre (food courts). These markets are separted by a street.

This place was cheap and functional nothing fancy. The staff was helpful and nice but Oaxaca centro is kinda off-putting. It smells like garbage consistently and really doesn’t offer anything special. Great hotel if you want to stay en el centro, just don’t love el centro.

When we arrived they told us our room wasn't ready. We had to wait four and a half hours until our room was ready. We were tired and needed a room to rest. Such an inconvenience.

Blocks from most of the shops and main areas. Smaller rooms. Staff was accommodating. Restaurant has good pricing but not open daily. Parking is not on location, but about 8 minute walk. Was hard with luggage n toddler. The hotel was able to schedule transport to the airport.

Its in the center of Oaxaca, but they charge you extra if you pay by card and the parking “available” is 3 blocks away from the hotel… there another parking place 5 meters away from the hotel and they charge you the same as the hotel parking space.

Aurora Hotel is clean, with a helpful staff and a restaurant. We stayed for 10 days, and the hotel was not ideal for such a long period because there was not enough room to work while one person was sleeping. I'd go there again for a day or two. The location is ideal for tourists visiting Oaxaca. A couple of very minor issues: There were only two electrical outlets (plus one in the bathroom), which is not enough when traveling with digital devices. The patios off the third and fourth floors looked appealing in the hotel's pictures, and might be great for an after-dark drink, but the patios are south-facing. The table umbrellas don't provide shade, and so it is very hot. The beds' mattresses were very firm, which we liked, but not everyone will.

This was an unpleasant stay for three reasons. Firstly, this is NOT a three-star hotel, maybe a two-star one. It is very worn out, so no amount of cleaning can make it look appealing. Nothing works well: not much hot water and no heating. Secondly, we were put in a basement room with a "view" of the cleaning storage closet and next to the kitchen. At other hotels, such rooms are given at half price with a notification of the conditions, not as full-priced ones. When we asked to change the room the next day, they initially said yes, and then calls were made to some higher-up management who said no, so we insisted, and we got a new room after some calss. This is NOT the fault of the staff but of whoever the management who picks up the phone is. Thirdly, the hotel is next to a bar that has loud music till 4-5am in the morning. The only nice thing about the hotel is closeness to the city center.
