    We were traveling to Oaxaca for short stay. The hotel staff was helpful, not annoying. The venue was situated in the central location in the middle of jackson. Truly enjoyed it during our fairly nice stay.

    I have stayed here many times and would return there. The location was stunning, close to some of the amazing attractions Oaxaca has to offer. I randomly popped into Cafe Bistrot Epicuro serving some pastries, located just a short stroll away from the hotel, it was nice.

    The value for money at Hotel Principal was excellent! The room was spacious and well-equipped, with a thoughtful touch of a daily water refill. The location was perfect, close to Santo Domingo and the Zocalo, and the staff treated me so kindly and helped me with everything I needed.

    The breakfast option could be improved, perhaps by offering a wider variety of choices.

    I loved the breathtaking views from my balcony of the old buildings and moonrise over the courtyard. The location is central and safe, making it perfect for a single woman traveler. There are plenty of nearby dining options to choose from.

    Felt very secure, nothing to complain about.

    Basic rooms, good mattresses, some with balconies and nice views. Sweet and helpful staff, provided information and extras when needed. Relatively quiet, especially rooms 5 and 12. Great location near attractions, walkable area. Comfortable and clean.

    I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Principal for my holiday in Oaxaca. The friendly staff, perfect location, and spacious, well-equipped room made my experience amazing. I loved the little touch of having a carafe of water that was refilled daily. The views from the balcony were stunning, with old buildings on one side and a beautiful moonrise over the courtyard on the other. I felt safe as a solo female traveler, and the neighborhood was great. Thank you for making my holiday so memorable!

    Would recommend this hotel.
