Good breakfast, really clean in general, awesome location. Staff is also extremely helpful and really nice. I stayed in a 4-person room and there was more than adequate space. Overall one of the nicest hostels I have stayed at in Oaxaca!
Great value for money! Great location! Super clean place! Beds are very comfy, bathroom are in the rooms as well as in the hall, some of which are very spacious. The cleanliness is perfect! Breakfast is mediocre but ok. Staff is very friendly and helps you with anything. Pool table available. Check out their homepage for price information.
Perhaps one of the most friendly hostels. The owners are such kind and beautiful souls always ready to provide the right information around town and where to go. This is a place that welcomes all those free spirits travelers. For sure you will make friends and perhaps travel buddies to keep walking the road of life....
Such a fantastic hostel! Great value for money, great space, great staff they clean thoroughly every day and there's a really nice courtyard. It's also a really nice social environment here, so welcoming.
Very cool hostel with a vibrant athmosphere. Sue, the owner, was very helpful in solving a problem I had. Everything was super clean and it seemed, like only nice and openminded people stay here. Never slept so good in a 10-bed-dorm.
Nice place to stay. The atmosphere is pretty calm and relaxed, the central patio is a nice place to chill out. The staff is very friendly, and the place is kept clean. Dorms, however, are not as equipped as they could be in terms of lockers and plugs, and the bunk beds are waaaay too rickety, it feels like an earthquake any time someone goes up or down.
Nice and charm hostel very well located. Bars, expos and food just by the corner. Dorms are so spacious and very well ventilated, confortable. Just the lockers are not big enough to place medium/large backpacks, but still ok to keep safe your main stuff. Garden is cool to take breakfast and meet other travellers. Kitchen is not so big but well provided to prepare to your own food. Wi-fi works very well all around the hostel. Really good ratio price-quality
The hostel staff are very nice, we can feel free talking to them. The rooms are big and pleasant. There is a warm water, towls, drinking water and beautiful view from the roof :)
Busy area with baroque Santo Domingo Church & museum, plus street food at Mercado 20 de Noviembre.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Oaxaca. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
