Casa Girón

I stayed in this home for a week while also doing Spanish classes through Spanish Immersion School. Magdalena and everyone who works there are gems. The rooms were clean, the location was fantastic and I felt completely safe being there as a solo woman. I love that you’re close to Oaxaca Centro without being right in the middle of it. 10/10 recommend.

I feel I have lucked into the friendliest B&B in Oaxaca. Everyone who arrives is instantly welcomed into “the group”. The owner, Magdalena, is incredibly warm and generous, and goes way out of her way to cater to personal preferences and needs— for example, I don’t like coffee so she serves me tea and she remembers that I can’t handle dairy. The rooms are large and thoroughly cleaned daily. Plenty of hot water. There is also a separately owned Spanish school here— check it out at Spanish Immersion School— so you can take one to 5 hours daily of Spanish if you want. Or not.

My review comes very late. My husband and I stayed at Casa Giron in 2000 or 2001. We arrived after midnight with the bus from Pueblo, and when the taxi stopped at the address we had some doubts what was 'lurking' behind the old heavy wooden house door. What a surprise when the son let us in and we saw the beautiful entrance 'tunnel' – we were sold on that place immediately! The family was super hospitable, we celebrated New Year with the them and the other guests– just wonderful. The large room (left from the entrance) had no windows but 2 ceiling lights of glass bricks. This kept the street noise completely out and kept the room always cool and comfortable. The typical Mexican breakfast was delicious. My husband could not eat beans and asked where we could buy cornflakes. The next morning the hostess waved with a box of cornflakes. We were pampered, and we parted as friends.

The most friendly and helpful hosts, charming Mexico accommodations, would return in a heartbeat.

Great place to stay when visiting!
