Hostal de La Noria

Hostal de La Noria's intimate colonial-style retreat caters to travelers looking for easy access to beloved sites surrounding Oaxaca's main square (or Zócalo), located two blocks away. Previous guests compliment the locally inspired fare served at Asuncion Restaurant. But if you're the type that enjoys traveling by following your taste buds, recent visitors assure that you'll have your pick from a handful of excellent restaurants nearby. Afterward, you can arrange for a guided tour of Oaxaca through the hotel concierge. Should you crave more relaxation, you can claim a spot at the sunny terrace as you savor a refreshing cocktail from Los Chapuline Bar. When it's time to hit the hay, retire to your cozy digs. While some describe the beds as uncomfortably firm and walls as wafer-thin, others call the interior rooms on the upper floors pleasantly quiet. Regardless, you can rest assured that you'll have a cable TV, air conditioning and a coffee maker. What's more, recent visitors claim that you can count on a friendly and hospitable staff to ensure a warm welcome.
