Es un hotel con buen precio ($450 la noche) y una buena opción para llegar a descansar después de haber hecho un tour por Oaxaca. Dormí muy bien. Nada de ruido a lo alrededores.

The Hotel Ártica is one of those old, unusual buildings that screams out to be taken seriously and then photographed at a good hour. I took a snapshot of the place and its surroundings to remind me to come back later and give it the attention it desires. This "highrise" of another time is incredibly narrow. And rooms here have private bathrooms, color TVs and fans! And it sits right here in the midst of everyday life, a clinic, a beer store (at least that ad for Indio) and much more. These narrow streets of Oaxaca are full of picturesque wonders of everyday life.

Es un hotel que me pareció bastante cerca de donde tenía que tomar el colectivo y al mismo tiempo podía ir al zócalo sin caminar mucho. Hay lugares caros y elegantes y al mismo tiempo lugares más económicos y de calidad para comer. Las habitaciones son cómodas y limpias. El baño funciona bien. Tiene muebles para acomodar algunas cosas. Me pareció todo bien y aceptable e igualmente limpio.
