The room was small but clean over all. Not the best water pressure but got the job done.
Staff was super friendly and the shuttle service was amazing. I had to be at the airport at 6am and they were there at 5:20am!
Excellent hotel for the price point. Clean, comfortable, great service, great location.

The stuff and service was good. My only issue was that when I arrived I found a dead cockroach on the shower and the beds were uncomfortable and also we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the television.
What stood out was the attitude of and assistance offered by Carolina and Anna. We needed a lot of help and they were ALWAYS there to look after us. Kudos to them.
Pro: Welcoming staff and they are very helpful including housekeepers. The building is very clean and so are the rooms.
Cons: Due to water shortage they do not wash bedding linen every day. That’s something to keep in mind. Not sure about the bathroom towels.
Overall I felt safe and satisfied staying here.
Beware no elevators, i got stuck carrying a heavy luggage up two sets of stairs. It was harsh! Cuidado no ay elevadores. Tendrás que subir tus maletas por escaleras.
Very clean. Staff were friendly. Location is great beside the square, and close to all city sites.
Outside suits are better for airflow cause no a/c

Made a reservation 10/30/25 with credit card thru Expedia with a discount but once I got to the Hotel Gala Oaxaca was told that I needed to pay cash only & it was $600 pesos more than what it was thru the app. Didn’t argue and paid for it but once I left the Hotel I got charge on my credit card even though I pay cash. I like the location close to the centro and room was ok.
Property location desirable. Standard room small.property very clean.shower had hot water. No toilet issues. Staff very friendly. 24 hour attendant. Pleasant environment felt safe and secure.

Felt very creepy. Lamp in room but no where to plug it in. The good thing was hot water, the bad is, it was scalding.
Great location and staff

Very well located on a corner just across from the main square. We came for the Radish Festival and subsequent Christmas activities and were always just steps away from the festivities. The hotel is noisy as many have reported but this is because it is historic tile and plaster walls. The rooms are very small, but comfortable for sleeping. We do not travel to stay in our rooms anyway, so we were fine and the price was attractive. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as our Spanish was not so good.

The hotel is in a good location but the condition is terrible, the cold water in the bath is not working, the lock inside in the door is down, as well the toilet paper dispenser..
