Hotel Rural San Anton

Hospitality is the key word for this small family run hotel. We were unable to get a hotel closer to the heart of town (booked too late for Day of the Dead holiday), and ended up choosing Rural after reading TripAdvisor reviews. Owner Antonio was warm, extremely helpful and friendly, and just a wonderful host. Communication was easy (we don’t, unfortunately, speak Spanish) - he went out of his way to communicate with us in English. Rooms are basic, but very clean, and quiet. Shower was wonderful, bathroom modern and just what we needed. As noted in an earlier review, note that you will be taking taxis to get into town. Furthermore, nearby eateries exist, but are not set up for tourists, so be prepared to communicate in Spanish (we did our best!). Overall, it was a great experience, truly local/Oaxacan. Cannot say enough about our gracious host Antonio and his family!
