Disliked: Amenities
Made a reservation 10/30/25 with credit card thru Expedia with a discount but once I got to the Hotel Gala Oaxaca was told that I needed to pay cash only & it was $600 pesos more than what it was thru the app. Didn’t argue and paid for it but once I left the Hotel I got charge on my credit card even though I pay cash. I like the location close to the centro and room was ok.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very well located on a corner just across from the main square. We came for the Radish Festival and subsequent Christmas activities and were always just steps away from the festivities. The hotel is noisy as many have reported but this is because it is historic tile and plaster walls. The rooms are very small, but comfortable for sleeping. We do not travel to stay in our rooms anyway, so we were fine and the price was attractive. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as our Spanish was not so good.

I love the was so close to the zocalo, dinning areas and museums. Excellent location. It is simple bedding and tight rooms, but it was just for sleeping, so it was perfect. very clean and the cleaning lady was so helpful and nice. Also the reception, except from one man who received us the day we arrived. he was not very helpful and did not want to take the pay in cash for our reservation, because we book it in line. no customers empathy or help. Otherwise everything was great and we love it.
