The conversion from a large house to a hotel gives it a unique charm. Occupying multiple rooms with family created a cozy atmosphere that felt almost like home.

Thin walls led to some noticeable noise issues, particularly from other guests. Small room compared to photos, coupled with a lack of air conditioning, made for a warm stay even at night.

The location is fantastic. you can easily walk to main attractions and local eateries. The room had a comfy bed and a well-stocked kitchen that made breakfast plans a breeze. Loved that bottled water was always available. The WiFi worked well most of the time but had a few hiccups. However, the noise from other guests was bothersome, as late-night shouting kept us awake from 10 PM to 2 AM and then started up again as early as 6 AM. It would be better if the hotel enforced their quiet hours more strictly. The bathroom could definitely use attention. the water pressure was inconsistent, and we dealt with occasional cold showers. A bedside lamp could make evenings much cozier too. The staff were friendly and offered taxi services when we checked out, but addressing the noise issue would improve guest comfort significantly.

Loved the spacious rooms and the lovely terrace! The common kitchen was super handy, but our bathroom was a bit cramped and had some ants around. Still, a great stay overall! 🌼

clean water dispenser, modern kitchen, spacious rooms

Rooms could benefit from better sound isolation!!! Also, the check-in policy is rigid, especially when arriving early!!! The sink drainage has a strong odor that needs fixing!!!

the hotel was very underwhelming, honestly. i waited 20 minutes at check-in, which was a delightful surprise, only to find a freezing cold shower! not cool, by the way. oh, and don’t get me started on the toilet — took ages to flush! a complimentary upgrade woudl've been nice, but alas, just couldn't be bothered.

Read this before you make a decision

Friendly staff and a convenient late check-out made my stay enjoyable. The room was clean and spacious, featuring hot water and fresh towels—everything I needed for a comfortable experience.

A fan offered little relief during the warm nights without air conditioning.

Delightful ambiance, ideal if you're looking for a peaceful stay with private parking and handy breakfast options.

a perfect base for exploring this vibrant city and its parks

My stay was excellent due to the great local coffee shop just a few steps away and being a short walk from the stunning Ethnobotanical Garden where I truly enjoyed wandering around the lush greenery and plants. also, the staff made my experience even better by being friendly and accommodating throughout my visit.

I really appreciated how clean my room was and the helpfulness of the staff who promptly assisted with my transportation needs. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to local attractions while still providing a peaceful environment for a good night's sleep.

Could improve sound insulation.

Totally recommend for exploring town

Spacious room, friendly staff, the shared kitchen made breakfast simple with all necessary amenities provided, and the convenient location near local attractions ensures an enjoyable stay.

Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

My stay at esencia exceeded my expectations! I previously visited oaxaca and felt right at home here. The room was clean, comfy, and had a lovely kitchen that made cooking breakfast a breeze.

the bathroom water pressure was inconsistent.

Great shared kitchen and free Wi-Fi. It got really hot, needed AC badly.

i had a great time at esencia. it’s super central, close to all the bars and restaurants but quiet enough for good sleep. ana and the staff were incredibly accommodating, helping with a room change and transportation tips. the shared kitchen was fantastic and made breakfast easy!
