Located in a former convent, this hotel has a lot of caché. Rooms are decently sized and confortable. The first room I stayed in was noisy because it was facing the street but then I got changed. There is a small pool which is not very shallow. Great buffet breakfast. Staff is helpful. Book in advance as this seems to... more

The Camino Real exceeded all expectations. Well located, just a couple of blocks from the Zocalo, and centrally located in the town. Every time we walked the grounds we found something new, another garden or room with a display. Extremely comfortable beds, wonderful and helpful staff. Didn't matter who we asked, from groundskeeper to maids to front desk they were... more

Communal areas and the look and feel live up to the promise, but there is a risk of getting a noisy room, i.e. street side (North?). The price paid for these (around Easter) is far too high to justify the price. You don't get a lot of space for the price either. I was not happy about paying extra fro... more

The ambiance is soothing and rich. The building is an old convent that has been wonderfully restored. The room was very attractive and comfortable. Our housekeeper was helpful in making it just... more

The Camino Real in Oaxaca is situated on a charming cobbled street near the centre of the town and set in a truly beautiful building, carefully restored and elegantly refitted. We'd booked a Camino Real Club Interior Room (following advice about noisy exterior rooms posted here) and on arrival were not disappointed, it was stunning! The gardens were exquisitely manicured... more

We are a Mexican family living in California and have stayed at Camino Real hotels before (Zaachila in Huatulco, which is lovely and extremely kid friendly, as well as the ones in Cancun, Tijuana and Mexico City). We have just spent four days with our children (7 and 9) in the Camino Real Oaxaca. As other reviewers note the hotel's... more

This was quite an excellent place to stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the accommodations always clean, crisp and excellent. You can book tours in-house and the location is central. A walk to the zocalo is a quick few blocks (close enough to be brief but not so near that the noise keeps you up!). There is frequent live... more

This is a great hotel. We had interior rooms on a quiet courtyard. The food was great, the staff was more than great, our rooms were clean and spacious. The staff at the front desk took the time to remember who we were and what we ere about on a daily basis, which was impressive. The flowers were in bloom... more
