Si hubiera más de 5 estrellas, con gusto se las daba. El hotel es precioso, la ubicación inigualable, pero lo que hace único a Casa Cataleya, es su servicio humano, cálido, amoroso y ágil. Fue cumpleaños de mi papá y les pedí detalles para hacerlo sentir feliz y no sólo cumplieron con el detalle, fueron más allá y lo consintieron con un tour totalmente gratis, le adornaron su habitación, y lo más bonito, compartieron con él con genuina alegría de celebrarlo. No tengo más que agradecimiento y ya quiero ir a alojarme con ustedes cuando vaya a Oaxaca. Muchísimas gracias y todo mi reconocimiento y agradecimiento a Dulce y al personal que recibió a mi papi. Significa mucho para mi que lo hayan hecho sentir 'en casa'.

Sweet little family-run hotel. The proprietors are lovely people who went out of their way to make our visit comfortable. The beds were comfy, water pressure good, lamp lighting homey and the location is enough away from the most-touristy areas to be chill, but close enough to walk everywhere. It's also within 1 - 3 blocks of buses out to the various artisan villages. The ceiling fans were great since it was warm in August and we didn't want to have the window or doors open at all in case of mosquitos. We had the 2nd room in from the street and heard only minimal outside sounds. (Though there was a family of musicians who stayed there a few nights and played in the courtyard in the mornings, so we did hear that :-) ) We had planned to stay at Casa Cataleya for a few days and then switch to another part of town to experience another neighborhood, but we were having such a lovely experience there, we stayed the entire 8 nights.

Nous sommes venues ici lors de la fête des morts. Dulce est très réactive et vraiment adorable. La réservation était très facile. Le logement est hyper propre, très agréable et vraiment convivial. Merci pour le Mezcal ! Le jardin est magnifique et on s'y sent super bien. L'emplacement est très bien aussi, un peu à l'écart du centre-ville. Vraiment je recommande. Merci à tout !

Excellent location. Easy walk to zocalo. No parking but nearby parking facilities. Dulce was the sweetest host. Her little daughter loved my dog. We had the whole place to ourselves while there. Highly recommended.
