Terraza Cielito Lindo

The location was fabulous. So was the view from the upper terrace. I watched the city lights come on at sunset. The inn was only a 10 minute walk from the Historico Centro. My room was simple but great, and the bed was very comfortable. My room even had a private balcony overlooking the city. The owner, Juanelo, saw to it that I was comfortable and greeted me when I arrived, and when I departed. I stayed for a full week, and often had an artisinal beer and guacamole (with fried grasshoppers) for my meal before returning. The restaurant was Humito, and on one night had a good rap band upstairs that was very popular.

The water pressure is a little low, as it is gravity fed from a tank on the roof. You have to remember though, Oaxaca has been experiencing a water crisis for years, so you have to give people a break.

The view is INCREDIBLE!! Great value for price!! The host was lovely and flexible to wait for us when our arrival time was delayed. We appreciate that a lot. The space is very clean. Simple but as pictures. Breakfast and coffee was a lovely treat. Thank you!

The view from the shared lounge is really spectacular!!

There are a lot of stairs -- of different sizes and shapes. Some are narrow or sloping...thank goodness for the hand rail, especially when carrying luggage. We climbed up without knowing where or how high to go as there is no office or signage...I kept shouting "Hola!" until I was met and checked in.

Great location, 15 minutes downhill walk to the city center and bus terminal. Quiet place, convenience store next to the hotel, safe neighbourhood. Big king side bed in King room. Big window facing the mountain. Value for money. 2 common kitchens for the guest with basic facilities. Great panoramic views of the city. Helpful staff.

Room gets quite warm during the afternoon- fan is provided. Lots of walking up and down the stairs.
