During my stay at Hotel Casantica, I found the location to be ideal, as it’s just a short walk from the main plaza. However, the rooms were quite basic and lacked elegance, which was a bit disappointing. I enjoyed the heated swimming pool, but noise from other guests around the pool made it hard to relax at times.

My stay at Hotel CasAntica had its ups and downs. The location is unbeatable, being close to everything in Oaxaca City. However, the room I got was pretty dark and small, and there was a lot of noise from other guests that made sleeping a bit tough. Overall, it's a charming place, but I think I could find better accommodations next time.

I found Hotel Casantica to be charming and well-located, but there were a few drawbacks during my stay. The vibrant atmosphere is lovely, though noise from the pool area made it tough to relax in my room. While the staff was friendly, the restaurant service was disappointingly slow, so I opted to explore local dining options instead.

The hotel has a nice layout with a couple of courtyards and a pool, but the noise from both was a downside. The amenities were decent, but not eye-catching.
