Taking a week of spanish school, i wanted a comfortable place to study and bugger down. Las Mariposas was so lovely with multiple garden nooks to study or eat or just sit, cool breezes away from the heat in the city, available help though plenty of privacy, and a friendly family feel to gather in the morning over coffee and...

This is a very reasonably priced courtyard hotel in the Mexican style. It is a place to relax after a day of tromping through Oaxaca City, sipping a glass of homemade pulpy fruit punch. It's a place to start the morning with Oaxacan coffee heating in a large earthen vessel on the outdoor stove. On Fridays, the mother of one... More

Do not even hesitate about staying here! All the rave reviews are true. Convenient location, best price in town, great staff and clean, comfortable rooms. I stayed here 16 nights in January and returned for another 11 in February/March. But what will really make me return is the ability to meet the most amazing fellow travelers. The amount of info...

Special weekend breakfasts featured authentic food. I appreciated all of the... More

I stayed for 3 nights in march 2013. The staff is friendly, the room was clean, it is very centrally located, and only 500 peso per night. There is a beautiful courtyard with trees and table and chairs that guests can use. Fantastic value. Thank you to staff of las mariposas for their efforts!

Our room was on the second floor and had a beautiful sitting area and fountain that conveniently turned off each night at 6pm. Breakfasts were an opportunity to see many of the other guests, a majority of whom were attending spanish language lessons in the... More

The hotel serves a free light breakfast with coffee. A couple days each week the hotel also has a full Mexican breakfast for 50 pesos. The only problem was the WIFI,... More

I visited with my daughter, sister and nephew. For us it was perfect, we felt right at home with the hospitality and ambiance, with art and little shrines tucked away in corners and nooks. We stayed a week. The beds were a comfortable firm, though the pillows could be thicker by my standards, however since we had just come from... More

I stayed at Las Mariposas for 8 nights during Christmas, it was perfect. Coffee every morning and about everyother day they would make a great breakfast. It was in a great location, close to Santo Domingo and lovely parks. They were able to set up a car and driver for me to visit some of the small villages. I will... More
