Xtilu Hotel - Adults Only -

Our girls' trip decided to stay at this hotel. We each had a single room, which was more than satisfactory. We were all very pleased: great location, felt safe, good staff, great breakfast, and incredibly clean rooms.We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard at the end of our day. A special shout out to the breakfast waiter who deftly accommodated all of our food requirements, ie no gluten, no dairy. I would highly recommend this hotel, and I would stay here again. Each room has a piece of art from a local artist. His gallery is around the corner from the hotel, and I would highly recommend a visit to the gallery.

Excellent rooms with great beds. Spectacular breakfasts with varied interesting options. Great water pressure. Solid air conditioning.

There was no service in room No iron ironing board; coffee tea; Erica was very helpful Place was too penny pinching!!!

We stayed 7 nights and paid about $290 Canadian per night. For that price Xtilu lacked the basic amenities all other hotels provide as standard. Xtilu did not have a fridge, water kettle to make hot water, coffee maker, cups, iron in the room. Their restaurant closes after 2 pm. We could not even get hot water after that. In the restaurant the cups for coffee and tea were without handles. The staff was very polite and helpful. The breakfast was good. We would not stay there again.

XTILU is such a gem! This lovely hotel is on a quiet street, just a short walk from the heart of Centro. The staff are outstanding, and the restaurant serves up some of the most innovative food in Oaxaca! Be sure to visit before the secret gets out!

This is a gem in Oaxaca City. The staff is amazing, so helpful and friendly. The hotel is lovely and quiet. Breakfast comes with the room and was so delicious. The stay here made the trip to Oaxaca city really wonderful. Highly recommended!!

We have asked directly to the hotel to be placed in second floor but on arrival they mentioned it was not possible. The room was very dark ( almost no light coming in) and we could hear noise from our neighbors over us. Also, there was many dogs barking during the night. The room is ordinary, no fridge or coffee machine, the mattress is hard and not confortable and the shower with a curtain + hard water pressure. For the price paid ( almost 3,000 pesos), I am sure that we could find something better in Oaxaca. The breakfast ( à la carte) was good but not outstanding. Even we have it included in the price, you can not order more than one cappuccino or latte ( small cup) or other extra without paying it. One day, there was no ham for our omelet…

Very clean and quiet hotel. Walking distance to city center. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

5 ⭐️ QUALITY!!! Words cannot describe how perfect my experience was here. My journey first began at another hotel that unfortunately had a bug issue and no a/c, so I scrambled to book this one last minute. What a godsend, and how lucky that they had availability for me! From start to finish, 5 star service without the price tag. Monica kindly arranged a taxi for me via WhatsApp, where I was greeted with immense hospitality, a delicious local beverage, and a serene garden which greets you behind two large secured, wooden doors (that also have a doorbell and cameras for extra security.) My room was a safe haven for me - A/C, minimilast, clean, high quality bedding and extremely comfortable mattress and pillows, several free bottles of water daily for brushing teeth and drinking, a clean shower with hot water and high pressure, ample lighting, not an insect in sight and an added bonus of TV with cable for evening time if desired. (In my case, I became ill on the trip so this was an unexpected plus.) When I became ill, Monica was like my angel- gracious enough to schedule an appointment for me, provide incredible restaurant recommendations (Quinces Letras - heavenly mole and cocktails!) and arranged all of my taxis, providing their taxi number and name for added security. WOW! When I returned to the hotel they greeted me by opening the door, provided delicious hot tea with honey for my throat, and the evenings were wonderfully serene in the garden and quiet, as it is not only an adults only property, but there is a feeling that everyone respects the spa-like environment of zen. Saving the best for last - breakfast every day, which is served until 12:00 for us vacationers who enjoy sleeping in, was the highlight of my trip to Oaxaca. Eduardo the kind chef, creates and presents each creation like a 5 star Michelin presentation and QUALITY, sourcing only local ingredients that Oaxaca is famous for. The fruit bowl in the morning with the best figs of my life…the pork belly with mole that was heart-warming, the hot chocolate drink made with real cacao bits Oaxaca is known for was a must at the end of each meal. My only regret is that my trip was cut short, and that I didn’t get to try each and every entree on the menu! Eduardo’s creativity and direction in his cooking is top class and worth the reservation here ALONE! I cannot say enough good about the tranquility of the garden and fountain, the room itself, and most importantly: La gente con todo el hospitalidad del mundo (all the world’s hospitality.) When I was sick, very stressed, and scrambled to book an early flight home, each and every member showed empathy, kindness and service at levels I’ve never experienced. Though I’m utterly heartbroken I had to leave INCREDIBLE Oaxaca early, I will absolutely be back, and when I do, will 100% stay here again! Don’t hesitate to book - I will be dreaming of this place until I return. Espero que pronto, pero voy a regresar! 🙏🇲🇽
