Nice value and nice people.
Sweet little place with great people and quiet and safe. Was in a little more grittier part of histórico centro on the frunce but no issues. Three blocks from the zócalo. The only thing that annoyed me was they used some type of spray in the room that smelled like chemicals. I had a little cold and it irritated me so I told them no more room cleaning and it was fine. Very quiet even though right in the middle of noisy Oaxaca main road.

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!
