My partner and I stayed here for a few nights at the end of March. We found the hotel was excellent, great staff, nice rooms, fantastic rooftop terrace, good location. We read the other reviews which complain about issues with road noise - we had the road side room and it was very quiet - we can only presume other... More

Azucenas offers an excellent hands-on three hour foray into the secrets of making Oaxacan Tamales de Mole y Pollo con Hoja de Platano (Black Mole and Chicken in Banana Leaf) and Tamales de Frijol con Hoja de Maiz (Black Bean with “Saint’s Leaf” Tamales Wrapped in Corn Husks). Additionally we prepared Salsa para los Tamales de Frijol (Salsa for the... More

We stayed for 6 nights here and had a lovely time in Oaxaca. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we stayed close to the terrace. You do get hot and there is a fan in the rooms. Donna is very helpful and little touches are thought about like providing stamps and a post box. They help and recommend places... More

In short: The hotel itself is a small property with a lot of charm in a convenient location. The staff was extremely helpful and always willing to answer any questions we had. What I didn't like were some of the amenities (it's worth saying I'm an extremely low key person). Would I stay there again? Unlikely. Unless they did a... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week during Semana de Santa. We heard about Hotel Azucenas from TripAdvisor and the positive reviews were right in line with our experience. While our room was small and without air conditioning, it was very clean and had a fan which kept the room at a pleasant temperature. The best things about... More

The staff esp Donna were extremely helpful and hospitable - went above and beyond in terms of suggesting sights to see and places to eat. Donna knows her city very well and is very generous with making one comfortable. The hotel almost seems more like a bed and breakfast - speaking of which the hotel has, for a very modest... More

Just had two weeks in this lovely hotel. It is handy to the whole city - a 5 minute walk to the Zocalo, yet in a quiet area. The staff are very friendly and helpful and keep the whole hotel spotless. Breakfast is available on the roof patio which also has a small kitchen. They also offer hands-on cooking classes... More

I stayed at Hotel Azucenas for the first two weeks of February. All staff are bilingual and very helpful and friendly. They arranged transport and air line tickets for me and were always happy to help me get oriented in the city. They recommended good eateries, and off the beaten path artisans, etc. The roof top garden area is superb... More

Hotel Azucenas is a perfect hotel for experienced travellers who value friendliness and good management over impersonal American-style hotels. We've visited a number of times now and have spent many evenings on the roof surrounded by flowers and other visitors who have become friends. It's the kind of small hotel that attracts interesting guests with lots of travelling stories. Donna,... More
