    Nothing really - it's an inexpensive hotel, with everything you need to explore the city.

    really lovely place - above the basic. staff so lovely & kind. workspace very useful. My room was very cosy & had everything I needed. It's right in the heart of the town and very easy to get around. I took two yoga classes with Rosy - I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's incredible.

    Building work meant loud noises, and no access to parts of the building, which we would have preferred to know in advance. One room only had hot water, including in the toilet

    Great size room, very clean. Staff were very helpful when one of our party was very ill and we arrived before check-in time. They found a room for us to rest in. Lively bar, with free welcome drink. Location is great, in the middle of everything

    I loved Selina Oaxaca. My room was beautifully decorated (with a touch of quirky), clean & spacious & staff at the front desk were friendly & helpful. There's lots of bars, cafes, restaurants, shops & key sights in the neighbourhood & in-house yoga sessions daily (which I didn't get to). I booked a delightful facial & massage for my last night, set up in the downstairs "yoga room", so really quiet & spacious. The bar has a good drinks selection but didn't have evening meals or snacks during the week I was there. Highly recommend this lovely, character-filled, friendly & quiet boutique hotel.

    No noise reduction measures in place- particularly the balcony door had a gap underneath so I was woken by cars and music throughout the night. Shower water remained cold or lukewarm

    Location was amazing, very central. The courtyard is beautiful and the room itself had a lot of sunlight

    Although the location is very close to the zocalo it was very noisy with partying at night out on the street. The rooms require an upgrade, patio doors are original however not soundproof at all, very dull colours on the walls especially the bathrooms, needs some brighter colours.

    The hotel is very old but quaint and the staff were great, very accommodating to our needs, beds were comfortable.

    our room was on the ground floor, next to the hostel bar, and on a very busy street, you can hear cars and people passing by even late at night. but if you wear earplugs it s doable

    beautiful and cosy hostel, staff was friendly and helped us book taxis and activities, bedsheets were soft and comfortable

    Breakfast was terrible, I would not have booked this we ended up going to a cafe as others have excellent brunch and coffee.

    The location is great! Really central, the bar is fun and other people come by for drinks so good vibes. Good WiFi, helpful staff and comfortable rooms.

    On the downside, we were staying on the ground floor, and the windows were very thin, so we could hear everything happening outside as if it were inside the room.

    Amazing location right in the heart of the city, making it so easy to walk everywhere. The room was spacious, and I loved that they provided a suitcase stand and a big mirror—such thoughtful details. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable.

    Not being provided towels, when asked we had to pay a deposit and would not receive all on return. Staff member was not friendly on arrival - could have been a little nicer. Beds - it would’ve been nice for a little curtain between the beds as you were back to back with the next bed.

    I liked the decor and the location was very easy to get in and around the city. The room was decent with the a private toilet and shower in the room and one also outside. I liked there was a bar on property to have a welcome drink. There was a cute little kitchen which was nice. They had what looked like private rooms at the top of the building, I would ideally book one of these next time.

    In the morning it's hard to sleep in because of the noisy street it's located on. The outside door doesn't close fully which makes for 0 isolation, you can hear every little sound on the street and so many cars pass by and start honking as early as 7 in the morning.

    It's super centrally located. Everything you want to see or need is within 5-10 minutes walking. Very nice atmosphere and pretty rooms. Staff was also very friendly.

    Wasn’t very social. Rooftop was not used in a sociable way, or in any way at all besides breakfast and welcome drinks which is a shame as it’s such a lovely space. The breakfast staff spoke little/no English, and could not understand my Spanglish which made ordering every morning pretty difficult. They also always ran out of orange juice in the morning which was the only juice available.

    Aesthetically, beautiful! Lobby and view from lobby was lovely. Private room was super spacious and clean! Good breakfast options. Great location.. few minutes walk to the centre. Yoga on the rooftop was good except the teacher arrived late twice and did not apologise either time.

    AWESOME LOCATION, TERRIBLE BED

    The bed was terrible. Literally sleeping on a board. We paid extra to have a private room and bathroom...which was nice. But we did not expect to have noise issues. Yes, I know we are traveling to a country that is happy and lively and there will be music playing everywhere... but the issue is more of a not a single measure taken to noise proof the window. Other than the terrible bed and the terrible window... the room was good.

    Loved the location. Awesome for walking everywhere. It's a cool vibe place. Convenient bar next door (part of the Hostel) Awesome saff! Super helpful. Mostly the location was super.
