Friendly staff, excellent Wi-Fi, but a bit noisy from the hallway at night.

A hidden gem in Oaxaca

My stay was delightful! The staff was incredibly welcoming, and I appreciated the cozy outdoor sitting area, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The ample natural light in my room from the open terrace made mornings feel refreshing.

If you love Italian cuisine, you're in for a treat at nearby El Quinque – the pasta is on point! Also, the courtyard is a chill spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Spotless rooms and great water pressure? Yes, please!

We stayed at the front with a balcony. street noise was a tad much before 11 pm.

I stayed for three nights to explore the local attractions in Oaxaca. The location was perfect, being just a short walk to the vibrant Zócalo and various markets. I appreciated the clean courtyard that provided a comfortable spot to relax, and having easy access to a communal kitchen with a refrigerator and coffee maker was definitely a plus for a solo traveler like me. The mattress was a bit firm for my liking, but that didn't overshadow the overall experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at Happy Express. The location is central, just a short walk to Zócalo, making it easy to explore the area. I loved the beautiful courtyard. it’s a perfect spot to relax with several trees and tables. My room was tidy, with clean linens and good water pressure for showers. The staff were kind and attentive, always willing to help whenever needed. Though the mattress in my room was a bit too firm, making it uncomfortable for long sleeps. At times, noise from the courtyard and nearby areas could be bothersome, especially in the early morning hours. More soundproofing would definitely enhance comfort. Overall, it’s a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers looking for a clean and safe place to stay in Oaxaca.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel during our trip to Oaxaca with our two girls. The spacious room was just perfect for our family, and the location was great, allowing us to easily explore the beautiful Monte Albán site, a UNESCO World Heritage gem that truly impressed everyone.

My kids wished for more kid-friendly activities.

The location offered convenient access to local markets and restaurants, making it easy to explore. The clean room had great bedding and efficient air conditioning, although the hot water could be inconsistent at times. A lovely outdoor patio provided a refreshing space, and the refillable water dispenser was a thoughtful touch. However, noise from nearby birds was noticeable in the morning, which might disturb light sleepers.

No glasses in rooms, great location and spacious rooms with excellent kitchen access.

great location, spacious rooms, no glasses

It was just a well-suited match for a brief pause in Oaxaca with best value for money ratio. The coffee was instant, but it was non-stop available, which was a nice perk. Bring your own toiletries for a better experience.

super friendly staff made our stay delightful! the outdoor courtyard is perfect for relaxing evenings, and the room was spacious with good air conditioning. loved the easy walk to central attractions and nearby cafes for breakfast! !

some noise from the courtyard at times.

The hotel is modern and very clean, just a half block from a cozy café for tasty breakfasts. I really enjoyed the spacious rooms and had a fantastic hot shower anytime I needed it.
