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.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Charming, homely atmosphere — The conversion from a private house gives the hotel an intimate, lived-in feel that several guests compare to being at home.
  • Great central location — Oaxaca Cathedral is about 650 metres away, and guests say the hotel is a short walk to the city centre and attractions.
  • Helpful, hard-working staff — Staff consistently receive high marks, with guests noting their friendliness and efficiency, including help with transport and late check-out.
  • Spacious, well-equipped rooms — Rooms are described as clean, comfortable, and spacious, with hot water and fresh towels. The shared kitchen is well stocked for making breakfast.

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.
