Room was very small. But adaquate for a short stay. Bed was hard as a concrete block. But that's every hotel in Mexico. They like their firm mattresses. Good value for the money. Staff was nice. I'd stay again.

This is a great, simple option for travelers. The room was comfortable, had TV and AC, and was clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and quick. My only wish would be to have a bedside lamp in the room - the only option was the full overhead or a super dim bulb above the bed not bright enough for anything.

Loved staying at the Happy Express. The staff was excellent and very helpful and friendly. Rooms are nice and clean and beds are on the harder side which I like. AC works well and you get woken up by a lot of birds that come to the courtyard. We'll be back!

Good and central location. There is a birds nest next to the hotel which was annoying to be woken up by every morning at 0700. Other than that it’s a good hotel.

Centrally located with everything you need

The hotel is pretty central to everything, just a short walk to the zocalo and restaurants. The hotel is away from the city noise which is nice. The staff is really nice and helpful and the rooms are super clean. There are no luxuries, this hotel is very minimalist and the bed was a little hard. However, it was good for a short visit in Oaxaca and a safe distance to walk during the night.
