There’s no one to assist you going to the room and unlike other hostels, here they give the pillow and towel upon checking in. So you have to carry everything on your own plus your luggage. The top bunk has a very small space from the ceiling and it’s not safe going up and down as there’s nothing else to hold on to aside from the ladder. Wifi wasn’t working very well in the room.

It’s well located and the place has a cozy vibe.

Facilities are basic but kept clean. The loo roll sometimes ran out late at night and early in the morning.

Really lovely hostel, photos don't do it justice! Friendly staff and good clean facilities. Amazing location a couple of blocks from the main square. Able to help us with anything we needed including laundry, storing bags and tour advice. Great price considering we were there for day of the dead!

Helpful and friendly staff. Located in centre and yet relatively quiet.

There was not really the possibility to cook. Also the hostel was quite empty. I was with my best friend and we enjoyed the calmness. But if you do solo travelling and you want to meet people, than it's probably not the right place.

The Location is great. I also liked the patio. Andriana was very nice and helpful!

Price for value not so great

Nice location, old school backpacker atmosphere, nice patio, clean rooms and bath rooms, breakfast included

Weird half doors in the bathroom/toilets - so people can see your face if standing in the toilet and most of your legs. Was just quite awkward as the ladies bathroom/toilet main door was always left wide open so all the men could see in too! No free water like other places have them. They do have water and drinks that you can pay for.

Excellent helpful staff, clean, comfortable beds, access to charge phone by the bed, laundry services (pay per kilo). Provision of soap and shampoo sachet for guests.

The bathrooms lack a bit of privacy

The location was really great and the lobby was just beautiful

Facilities - in particular the toilets - were a bit basic. Fan in room didn’t really work so was hot.

Lovely big room and the whole place had a quite and relaxing vibe. Felt very clean and also good having lockers in the room. Staff were really accommodating- we checked in at 1am after a bus and they were happy to help. Nice that a small breakfast is included.

Lovely staff, gorgeous patio, amazing location!

First of all search what’s a “Hostel!” I assume it was part of the name!!! No air conditioning, And no restroom or shower in the room! No light in the halls at night, the restrooms and showers share by everyone.

The location

The was nothing to not like. Excellent hostel.

The staff are wonderful. The included breakfast is delicious. Very comfortable bed and hot showers with good water pressure. Very clean. Lovey courtyard to sit in with hammocks and a common area in the second floor also. Very quiet considering how close it is to the Zocalo. So close to everything!!! I’ll be back in Oaxaca next week and will definitely stay here then and whenever I come back.

Everything was good.

Slightly off the beaten path and up in the hills above Oaxca.

- the cleaning lady was rude She will turn off all the light when you are still in the terrace. And without noticing. When you get into the kitchen in the allowed time, the lady will ask you not to use, even though there is at least 20mins left. - you don’t have any light in the room, if you take mixed room. - the doors of shower and the toilet are only half shaped. That means whoever enters the restroom can see who’s inside the shower and toilet and even smell it. There is no privacy. - The hot water is limited and without warning. There is no hot shower at around 11pm.

The location is good. You can get to the downtown in 10 mins. The staffs in the reception are friendly.

There was some confusion, I had requested a taxi to the airport via booking.com special requests, and the lady said she did not know about this. So I ended up getting my own taxi at 5am. But it worked out fine. Also the bathrooms are exactly as other commenters have mentioned - doors so low you can look people in the eye. Super awkward.

Staff was very nice. It was quiet and I luckily got a whole dorm to myself.

The staff and the place very safe and every morning your coffee yogurt sweet bread and fruit included ✔️

The bathroom stall doors are great if you’re 5’6” or under, but if you’re over that, there’s a good chance you’re gonna lock eyes with someone doing their business. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but feels worth noting.

Great building, good little continental breakfast that was free while we were there, comfortable rooms, good location.

We checked in at 8 pm, the staff asked us to pay in cash or leave the hostel. The bathrooms are horrible. First bad experience threw booking.com!

My partner got sick, and they were amazingly helpful.

Stayed in December 2023

Worst hotel ever, super dodgy looks, old, smelling of humidity, horrible room, not worth the money, feeling haunted. Stuff not very helpful, neither friendly, I didn’t have cash so I asked them to pay when I leave.. they wouldn’t let me in..as if I was a criminal, insisting only on giving my passport and the cash!!! Left first thing in the morning..never again!

Bad depressing place

I loved this hostel. The staff were so friendly and remembered my name. They had a DJ while I was there. The other guests were very friendly and there was good communal vibes. Loved the hammocks and chill spots. I even found a spot to do yoga. I'd definitely recommend this hostel.
