I travel all over the world, around the globe about three times/year; and never stayed in such a nice hotel. Everything is very well thought through to the smallest detail: the negative critics here are from people who do not appreciate this love for details. The rooms are actually apartments furnished with antique furiture and objects. The roof terrace is... More

We are a family of four who stayed here for 3 nights in December. We had the two top floor suites which opened onto the roof terrace - although it was where breakfast was served each morning for everyone staying at the hotel, the rest of the time it was our private eyrie overlooking the rooftops and a pleasant place...

My family and I were in Oaxaca on a short trip, total of 5 persons. We stayed at the hotel 3 nights. We were really happy with our accommodations and service provided throughout our stay. We stayed in the Mio Cid Suite (3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths). There were exceptional details throughout our suites, very nicely decorated and comfortable. We also... More

I'm used to nice things and the Cid didn't disappoint. The detailed touches are really special. It isn't just the furnishings, it's the lighting, the decor. The spaciousness and individuality of the rooms sets this tiny 4 room totel apart from anything else you're likely to experience. The rooms can be on the darkish side, or get some street noise,...

It should be a two star bed & breakfast. The owner invested in the cheapest things and charges like it´s silk

A little background on our travle experience to qualify this review....my wife and I have visted over 30 countries and stayed in everything from grass shacks to plush penthouse suites....so we have a fair number of travel experiences to compare this trip with. We visited Casa Cid de Leon in early February of 2009 (we were there over Valentines Day)... More

I agree with the other disappointed visitors that Casa Cid de Leon is very much overpriced and overrated. It advertises itself as a luxury hotel, but it really is average. We couldn't sleep from the street noise. Also, the staff is constantly cooking in the rooftop kitchen which shares a wall with the guest rooms! The noises from the kitchen... More

We booked into another boutique hotel in Puebla, where we saw an advert for Casa Sid de Leon, it was above our budget, but we phoned ahead an negotiated a discount..Well the hotel was amazing, the rooms clean, spacious, well decorated (ours even had a waterfall in it!). The staff friendly and helpfull and the food good, would heartly recommend... More

My wife and I stayed a week in Casa Cid de Leon and loved it. We planned to stay only for a day or two because of the rather high price (for our budget), but we stayed much longer because the staff and the location were very convincing. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was very nice every day with home... More
