About

Casa Porfirio

Casa Porfirio is a three-star guesthouse on Jesus Carranza, placing you within a short stroll of two of Oaxaca’s most visited spots. The Mirador is six minutes away on foot, the Templo y Convento de San José is an 11-minute walk, and the Mercado Benito Juárez is 12 minutes. The property is decidedly social: a shared kitchen, dining table, patio and garden furniture encourage lingering, and the billiard table adds a casual edge.

Rooms are straightforward, with the option of a private bathroom and garden view in the larger Double Room. The hotel runs a strict no-pets policy and check-in is confined to 14:00–18:00, so plan your arrival accordingly. With a facilities rating of 10, the basics are covered well, even if the overall guest score sits at 7.9.
