It’s a great choice for those traveling with kids: The Cruz family lives here with a couple of their children, and parrots hang out in the shady garden. From the rooftop terrace, you can admire the view and soak up some sun. Most rooms are plain but comfortable; some share bathrooms. Across the street in the new wing are three additional rooms with double beds and private bathrooms, plus four furnished, full-service apartments with fully equipped kitchens. Breakfast, at extra cost, is served on the patio. At Christmas, the family involves guests in the traditional Mexican celebrations or posadas, which are held during the 12 nights before Christmas. Rates rise 30% for Easter, Guelaguetza, Día de los Muertos, and Christmas. Address Aldama 404 Location Col.

Several beautiful courtyards with age-old walls bring to mind the original purpose of the building. The rooms, however, do not. All are comfortable, well furnished, and have the conveniences you would expect in a hotel of this caliber (no small feat given the constraints imposed by the infrastructure). Exterior rooms have triple-glazed windows to reduce noise. Higher prices are for interior rooms with views of the courtyards. The main difference between “deluxe” and “club” is the size of the room. Service is good. The location — between the zócalo and Santo Domingo on a pedestrian-only street — is ideal. On Friday evenings the hotel holds a Guelaguetza, a regional dance show with dinner buffet ($30); on Saturday evenings there’s a mariachi show with dinner buffet ($17).

It is only 8 blocks from the zócalo and 6 blocks from Santo Domingo, but it is about 30m (100 ft.) uphill on a noisy street. All the rooms are away from the street, however, past a courtyard restaurant. The well-lit, beautifully decorated rooms hold two twin beds; a few rooms have either two doubles or a king. Bathrooms are attractive and spacious, with shower/tub combinations.

The lovely terrace on top of the three-story building (there’s no elevator) has patio furniture and a good view of the mountains. The midsize standard rooms are attractively furnished and well lit; most contain two twin beds. Junior suites are large and come with a sofa, coffee table, and writing table; most hold two double beds (some have one king and one double). The suites are still larger, and the second bedroom makes them perfect for a family. The hotel is well managed. It’s across the street from the market, which can be a little noisy, but the double-glazed windows do a good job of blocking it out.

This is an especially attractive place for first-timers to Oaxaca, who can tap into the owners’ knowledge of the area and perhaps even tour some villages with them. The good-size rooms open to a large garden with tall jacaranda trees; they are simply but comfortably furnished. Breakfast is substantial: fresh fruit, yogurt, hot cereal, eggs, bacon, juice, and coffee. The hotel is farther from downtown than most of the others listed here. Rooms are not available for the Day of the Dead season or Christmas. Live music occasionally on Sunday afternoons. The casa is closed for May. Address Negrete 105 (Apdo.
