Location of the room within the property, I was not super thrilled

Pefect location, close to everything

Stayed in April 2025

I booked a private room, which I really recommend since it will give you a clean and spacious enough place to relax and unload your luggage. I loved that there was a balcony/ terrace right outside of my room on the 3rd floor. They have a little sport facility if you like to work out. It’s such a good hostal especially for the price.

This hostel is really big and beautiful. I didn't expect it from the reviews and photos that don't do justice. It's 3 floors, it's massive, has plenty of space and common areas, a beautiful terrace with many tables and even sunbeds, a small place to workout (a bicycle+ some weights), big kitchen, free coffee , water and cookies. I booked the single room which was ridiculously cheap for being private (shared bathroom). It was clean and basic, had no real window which felt a big overwhelming, I would describe it as "spartan" as I read in another review. Had a small desk, chair, 2 lockers and the bed, literally nothing else 😅 However, I think there is nothing to complain given the price to have a private space. The toilets and showers were clean. Warm water stops between 00.00-06.00. A lot of chairs if you have any problems with that. The staff was helpful and helped me with my airport transport, also printed out a document for free. The only problem with this hostel is that it seriously lacks atmosphere, it's so massive that people cannot meet and it's such a pity because it has such a big potential. Hopefully it becomes more social lively with time, maybe organise some activities?

Not very social

Amazing rooftop

Stayed in January 2025

Amazing location and super spacious building. The dorm was a huge room with only 4 single beds, no bunk beds. It had a nice terrace on top. The kitchen is not great but the place is really excellent value for money, 5 minutes from the centre of the city

Stayed in March 2025

The Wifi was spotty and unreliable on some floors and in some rooms. Having a room on the top floor required to walk up more than 50 stairs each time.

The hostel was just 2 blocks from the mercado central which is a big food, grocery, fruit, meat and many other things indoor market. One can find many things in the market, including hot meals and clothing. The hostel was just a 10 minute walk from the zocalo, the central plaza of Oaxaca. The hostel was also in 10-20 minute walking distance to different bus stations. The hostel had many bathrooms and bathroom doors could be locked and then it was like having a private bathroom. Free water and coffee was available throughout the day. The reception was manned 24X7. The mattresses were in decent shape. The kitchen was relatively clean and organized.

The building itself, super creative and super clean. The views of the city. Friendly staff. I booked a double room: Rooms were basic but very spacious.

The noise from the street

The place is very nice and the room are comfortable and big! The staff was really help full and friendly

The noise... This hostel is just on a crossroad of busy streets and even on second floor it was impossible to sleep without ear plugs. Windows don't have absolutely any insulation and for that all noise enters the rooms.

The location, is just one block from the cental park Zócalo. Spacious hostel with terrace and kitchen to prepare meal if you want. There was free bottled water almost on any floor. Every morning cleaning ladies were cleaning the place. Staff is friendly but don't speak any English.

Stayed in February 2025

The room was a bit on the smaller side and the bed wasn't super comfortable. Not bad value for money though.

Great location, had a flight to catch from Oaxaca the morning after and the staff assisted me with booking a taxi early in the morning - very friendly people.

It was ok, maybe to big and without anything extra, but it was cheap, clean and well maintaind. Also Cezar (really thanks to You!), help me a lot to make my stay plesent when he changed my room that I felt claustrophobic in for the one with balcony to the street, maybe bit loud but for me that was amazing to watch street coming alive in the morning. Nice place!

The localization, the roof top teracce

Bathroom could have been cleaner Mattress was lumpy/hard Very cold during the nights

Good location to sights and restaurants in the city Kitchen facilities Rooftop lovely

Stayed in January 2025

The room was very very basic, no lamp, no fan etc. The noise outisde travelled in, the curtains dont keep out the light and the bed / pillows were not very comfy

For the price it was a very good location, the views were amazing and the staff were helpful

Stayed in February 2025

Sometimes a bit noisy at night because of other guests

Beautiful hostel, rooms are clean and have everything you need, lots of shared spaces to hangout and a lovely rooftop, even a little gym/ workout area :) location was convenient as well, everything you want to see in Oaxaca is easy to reach

Stayed in January 2025

Not the patio floor to cold 🥶

It’s my 3 years that I booked my stay in Andaina. But this time I was on the 3 rd floor and it was too cold for me. I enjoyed more the past years when I was located on 1st/2nd floor. I hope next time of my stay to enjoy on that floor. It’s quiet and love that.

Basically no internet connection in the room, very annoying. Also we had a room from the street, so it was loud most of the time.

Spacious, bright room (dark curtains for light sleepers).

Stayed in January 2025

You hear everything, everywhere. One person closing the door at night, everone is awake. One person coughing, everyone is awake. People who are not tired enough or young enough will not get sleep

Central location near zocalo and big market. Very nice rooftop, higher then any other in oaxca. Big and spacious terasses and public spaces. Everything clean and tidy. good beds too. We slept well.

Stayed in January 2025

The Wifi was exceptionally inconsistent, disconnecting every 5 minutes. Pretty inconvenient

Great spacious room, plenty of hanging space and a comfortable bed. The location is just perfect, with two markets (Benito Juarez and 20 Noviembre) at 5 minutes walking distance

Stayed in January 2025

It gets very loud at night because of the noises of the car outside. You would need earplugs. Internet was not that good in rooms. If we go to the corridor we can have some good connections.

The location was near the center of the city. The place was very clean. Very spacious and good price. 4 people dormitory without bunk beds are unbelievable! I would definitely recommend this place.

Stayed in January 2025

Maybe ask not to be on the first floor as people can look directly in your window from the courtyards. However there are large curtains so it’s not a huge problem.

Super clean and super central. Like immaculate. The rooftop is really nice as well.

Stayed in January 2025

The double rooms could use a larger table, some hooks, or a simple shelf, and maybe a light fixture to diffuse the LED light. The kitchen needs forks, they currently only have knives and spoons (?). There is a kitchen supply store right next door. :)

We always stay here in Oaxaca. As always it was very clean and safe and central for our needs. Staff are super friendly and coffee/water available all day long. The rooftop terrace is very lovely.

Stayed in January 2025

So noisy. The windows are very thin so you always hear the traffic outside. Would be good to have some comfy seating in some communal areas.

Really close to everything you need. 5 minute walk to Zocalo. Good views from the roof terrace. No bunk beds, so that was nice.

Stayed in January 2025

Wifi drops pretty often. Hot water turns to a trickle at times. Only given one sheet and a very thin blanket for sleeping. I asked for a second blanket and it was provided but it really wasn't as clean as it should have been but I did stay warm when sleeping. 45 degrees F at night. Didn't use the kitchen, most long termers seemed to have taken control of the fridge. Also limited to no knives, forks, or spoons.

Good location. Great staff. Mostly quite. The single room i was in had no street noise. Always had coffee and drinking water provided and most times cookies too. Very clean.
