About
Casa Origen
Casa Origen occupies a converted large house near the heart of Oaxaca, roughly 650 metres from the cathedral. The 3-star property has just 10 rooms, which gives it a quiet, residential feel. There's no lift, and the shared kitchen and terrace encourage a communal, self-catered stay.
The hotel is smoke-free, and guests cannot bring pets. Wireless internet is available throughout, and free toiletries are provided in the rooms. With only double and triple room categories, it's best suited to small groups or couples rather than large families.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value for money is only average — Value scores lower than other categories, and the price point may not feel justified for some travellers given the modest facilities.
- Small, limited property — With only 10 rooms and no lift, the hotel suits a quiet, intimate stay but may not work for those wanting full-service amenities or larger groups.
- Fairly strict check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 18:00, which can be restrictive for travellers arriving later in the day.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so animal owners will need to find alternative arrangements.
