    A very cool hotel with friendly and helpful staff. We loved the layout and the design. As soon as you walk in it feels very special. We had a larger room with a lounge area and balcony, which were all stunning. Breakfast was very relaxed and everything was delicious. We also appreciated the free snacks that were available and we loved having access to the cafe/bakery and shop. And then an incredible view from the roof terrace as well. Just amazing!

    We loved everything. Except to say that if you're concerned about noise then maybe the rooms with balconies won't be for you. There are several bars in the street and the music is very loud until late. But the hotel have obviously considered this and provide earplugs in the room. We don't mind noise and we slept very well.

    Hi Helen, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the design, your spacious room with the lounge and balcony, as well as the relaxed breakfast, snacks, and the views from our rooftop terrace. It makes us very happy to know you felt the special atmosphere we strive to create. We also appreciate your thoughtful note about the noise. As you mentioned, being right in the heart of the city means there are lively bars nearby, but we’re glad the earplugs and your own comfort with the environment made it easy to rest well. It was a pleasure to host you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime you return to Oaxaca. 🌿 Warm regards, Paul & the Boulenc Bed & Bread Team

    Staff were wonderful. Bed was comfortable, and the room and the entire property was aesthetically pleasing. The kitchen was great - the coffee, pastries and fruit were very good! The location was perfect! Walking distance to everything we needed

    It was slightly noisy being but nothing too concerning - we still slept through it.

    The location was great and the staff were really wonderful. The breakfasts were simple offerings of pastries, granola, fruit, and cheese. All very good and fresh. The staff was the best part of this hotel. They offered genuine hospitality and made us feel welcome.

    The facilities were not what we expected. The room felt dated and worn. The internet was not working the day we arrived and we needed it for work deadlines. The staff were attentive to help us problem solve the issue. Thankfully, were upgraded to a much better location across the street (same owner). We much preferred the newer location.

    Property response:

    Hello Kirsten, We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Our hotel’s style is a vintage, repurposed project, and we understand that it might not be the right fit for everyone. We also recognize that certain things—such as the internet being spotty during stormy weather—are unfortunately beyond our control, though we will continue working to improve it. We’re glad you enjoyed the newer hotel across the street. It is indeed a more modern and luxurious property, and for future visits, we recommend considering hotels with that style if it’s important for your comfort. We truly appreciate your kind words about our location, breakfast, and especially our staff. Genuine hospitality is at the heart of what we do, and we’re happy to know you felt welcomed. Warm regards, Paul

    The hotel is very central to tourist sites. All the staff were pleasant and spoke great English, making it easy to communicate. Some of the staff - especially Paul - were very helpful and kind. Pastries from the bakery were great. As were eggs from the restaurant. The air conditioner was awesome and much needed. Our room had a nice amount of space. Loved the view from the terrace and the breeze.

    The hotel is on a very busy, loud street. On Saturday night, you could hear the nearby club and people were yelling until all hours. You definitely will need the ear plugs provided. The hotel hasn’t quite figured out how to be a hotel yet. Reception isn’t staffed full time. Even when staff are supposed to be working I often couldn’t find anyone. And when checking out, no one volunteered to help with my luggage even though I was clearly struggling to bring it down stairs. We had a room facing the street. The shower had a window with a bamboo curtain that did not provide much privacy. Breakfast was good but I didn’t love having to carry it up two flights of stairs to the terrace.

    Hi Robin! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value hearing from our guests, as it helps us clarify our way of working and improve where possible. Regarding the noise, as always, this is something we communicate to all guests prior to booking and upon arrival. Our location is in the very heart of the city, which comes with both the advantage of being central to tourist sites and the reality of city sounds, especially on weekends. We understand this is not for everyone, and if avoiding stairs or external noise is a priority, we recommend guests take this into account before booking. About breakfast, bringing it upstairs is never an issue for our team — we are happy to serve and want every guest to feel at home. The “serve yourself” concept is simply designed for comfort and flexibility, not to limit service. As for reception, our team members take on multiple roles to offer a more personalized experience for the few guests we host at a time. This means you might not always see someone at the desk, but we are always just a WhatsApp message away — something we encourage all guests to use for faster assistance. We’re sorry to hear you felt otherwise, and we’ll continue working to make sure our communication about these details is even clearer. Kind regards, Paul

    Around 6am we were woken up by loud noises in the kitchen and it was impossible to go back to sleep because of the noises. They need to sort that out

    Property response:

    Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the aspects you enjoyed, like the design, the terrace, and the breakfast experience. Regarding the noise, we understand it can be disruptive, and we truly regret that it affected your rest. That said, as part of a working bakery and kitchen, early morning activity is part of the experience and context we communicate clearly in advance. We do our best to minimize impact, but some level of morning noise is inherent to the space and its operation. We appreciate your understanding, and we’ll continue refining our processes where possible. Best regards, Paul

    Solid 9/10 for this property with 10/10 potential. Given that they only just opened, they are doing an amazing job. The staff is simply amazing and have a real hospitality mindset. They will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. The rooms and building itself is stunning as well.

    Some facilities could be ironed out a bit such as the jacuzzi in our room but this will definitely be resolved with time. Nonetheless amazing stay.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging review — we're truly glad you had a great stay and appreciated the team’s hospitality and the design of the space. We're especially happy you enjoyed the complimentary upgrade we offered.

    When the room I got was too noisy and street facing, they immediately upgraded me to a quieter room. Beautiful aesthetics and breakfast was filling with essentials - fruits and good bread. Staff were exceptionally helpful and so kind. Very close to everything in old town. Safe for solo women travelers.

    Nothing.

    This was a charming boutique hotel with the kind of touches that make you want to stay. It had a great relaxed vibe. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy. Enjoying the delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a treat. The staff went out of their way to help me plan things to do in Oaxaca. I only regret I could not stay longer!

    A sign outside would be helpful. I was very tired upon arrival and was not sure what door I should use. Luckily the staff was very responsive to my text and came right out to meet me.

    Great breakfast, always fruit and pastries available throught the day

    Breakfast could start a bit earlier. Lots of building work taking place throughout our stay - even at 8am on Sunday morning!

    Property response:

    Hi Peter! Thank you for your thoughtful feedback — we truly appreciate it. Regarding breakfast, while it officially begins at 8:30 AM in line with the restaurant opening (for guests who wish to order eggs or other prepared dishes), we always ensure that the breakfast spread — including fresh fruit, coffee, and other options — is available before 8:00 AM for those who wish to start their day earlier. As for the neighborhood activity, we understand it can be disruptive at times. Being located in the historic district means we're surrounded by ongoing restoration and city life, and we do make a point to inform all our guests about this at the time of booking, as it’s part of the reality of staying in such a vibrant and evolving area. Thank you again for your comments — they help us improve and continue providing a better experience for all. Best regards Paul
