Extra Star for the Lovely Owners
10
My stay at Los Golondrinas used a credit from a trip from April 2020 that was cancelled due to covid-19. The booking had been non-refundable so I was grateful to the owners for allowing it to be used at a later (much later!) date. And it was worth the wait. This is an unusual and truly lovely little hotel. If you are looking for 5-star facilities and amenities this is probably not your best choice but for anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel with lovely common courtyard areas, uber helpful staff and squeaky clean, colourful rooms Los Golondrinas is a great choice. The hotel is situated just outside the historic centre but within an easy 10 minute walk of the main square. The hotel comprises several buildings set close together around a couple of small courtyards absolutely bursting with plants. Each room seems to be different but all are on a single ground level opening directly onto one of the courtyards or paths. My room was big, in great condition, spotless and painted in bright colours. The bathroom was also large and apparently newly renovated. It certainly looked almost untouched. The tariff includes a continental breakfast with an option to order more from a reasonably-priced menu. The cafe is in one of the lovely, exuberantly planted courtyards. Pretty good free wifi was available in the room and the courtyards. There was also a common lounge area with a TV and shelves of books. There is no TV in the rooms - but why would you want to stay inside anyway. The hotel compound is secure with the outer door locked from late afternoon through the morning. The owners were incredibly helpful, booking tours and taxis for me and a covid test (required for reentry to the US) at the most reliable laboratory which was within walking distance. One of them even found a 10% discount coupon on line that the laboratory honored! I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, in fact it would be difficult to convince me to stay anywhere else in Oaxaca.
