If I have to post a con - it would be the frig , wish it was a bit colder but no one grabs your stuff. Other travelers not ats social able , polite with our hi's and bye's.

This is not like other hostels , I ended up in a private room and for the price can't beat it. They kept the whole place clean, restroom, common room, even the stairs. Staff very friendly and helpful , I recommend to let them know when you are leaving so they can have a taxi waiting for you; I left at 5am.

I booked one of the better rooms, so paid a higher price of course, but they tried to put me in one of the cheapest rooms. There's no electricity next to the bed

Clean, nice rooms, good prices

Inside the area is all-terrain and there is not much wi-fi And the kitchen doesn’t work at all, the kitchen is not working there and they close the gas 3 times a day, and the staff is very arrogant and the owner too, why am I saying this because they treated me very unfairly and treated me badly, and I was surprised when they took the money, they immediately started to rude me, I then wanted to leave a comment, everything is fair

The room had zero ventilation. Certainly not worth the price.

Great view from the terrace.

The location is great, the staff is super friendly, they allowed me to work in the coworking space much before my check in and even after my check out, it is a big hostal, nice view from the terrace, comfortable beds, I would return definitely.

Stayed in March 2024

Noisy and as there was no AC or fans, it was very warm in the rooms. On a 4 day stay I only managed 2 lukewarm showers - all others were stone cold. Woken at 5am as locals let in to sleep on the floor in the common area outside my room - maybe staff?

Close to the centre on Oaxaca and lots of common areas eg terraces, Free water and coffee.

Close proximity to many attractions

The room was good. However, it was the room across from the bathrooms and the walls are thin, so you can hear everyone going in and out. If you book a room, maybe ask for one away from the bathroom. Other than that, everything was great.

The hotel has many rooms, nice rooftop, terraces where you can see beautiful views.. Room, although small, had what I needed. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Location is close to the Zocalo and near shops and restaurants.

The bed wasn’t so good. We were cold and asked for blankets they didn’t have any which is strange for such a big hostel. The staff spoke only Spanish at the reception which doesn’t make sense for a hotel/hostel

The location was really good to get around in the city

Stayed in February 2024

Dirty - the bathroom/shower area smelled of pee; the room isn't cozy or comfortable - feels like a small hospital room

Good location - near Zocalo; affordable (but there are better cheap options)

Although I feel pretty ok about the room being very small and prison like, the room I was given was a converted bathroom with bathroom tiles all around and a plugged up shower area. It felt quite cold and uncomfortable. It was also right next to the actual bathroom and I could hear everything. It was also very noisy from the inside and also people slamming doors and talking loudly late into the night and early morning or playing music. The biggest problem I had were the bathrooms. The shower on our side was cold even though I waited for a long time and ended up taking 2 cold showers. Someone else told me their water was warm on my third day, so i went to ask the front desk if I could use someone else's shower they got almost upset at me, blaming me for not telling them earlier and now I have to wait until tomorrow for someone to look at it. I didn't think to ask before because the second day I thought the shower was getting warm so I got in but it turned cold again. The bathroom also smelled quite a bit. Overall it was not really a comfortable stay but also not the worst. I'm just not sure why their ratings are so good.

It's in a great location, very close to the markets and the historical centre so very convenient to get around. The guy who checked me in was nice and they offer some advice on where to go. I like that they had a kitchen and nice rooftop view. There is also water and coffee provided which is nice.

Stayed in February 2024

People who don't know how to close a door in the evening, nobody need to slam them when some are in metal. People who expect the others to clean the dishes after them or taking somebody else food or stealing ustensils. Too bad because the kitchen is great and the dining room huge. People need to respect others. All of that is not the fault of the hostel.

The location next to the zocalo and the enternmaint every evening. The terrasse is great to relax, see the view and wash our clothes. Coffee is on the whole day. The mix of ages of people, the place is super clean.

Stayed in February 2024

Staff is very unfriendly. When asking if the room doesn't have a bathroom, the only thing he could replied was: "this is not a hotel room" and he was gosseping with the cleaning lady about my question. Also, when I asked for activities or a bar, the guy pretended he didn't understand English. And when the hotel is almost empty, it doesn't make sense to give me a bed in the most noisy room of the place.

Stayed in January 2024

A bit impersonal… and wet

Excellent for the style of lodging. Huge rooms, huge high ceilings, huge common spaces, huge shared kitchen, huge roof deck for sunrise/sunset, huge shared bathrooms. All tile everywhere, no carpets, bath mats, or blankets, even the towels feel small (but they include towels!). Very good value for what you pay. Very central. Sometimes loud and echoing. Solid wifi in common areas, coffee, and there’s some gym equipment! A great flop!

The room was too noisy, curtains were not dark and thus the light was entering the room and for 2 nights there wasn't availability of blankets so we had to sleep with our cloths. Visited on december and the night temperature was of 5degrees

3 rooms share a bathroom that is very big in size, but there is only one shower, one toilett and one sink together in the bathroom. There is no place to hang your things or lay down your clothes. There was no soap in the sink. The bed has an uncomfortable plastic layer over the matress. The windows did not close completely. I was able to enter my room even when I closed it from the inside. You can hear a lot of the doors slamming and footwalks from above, it is very noisy overall. I stayed 3 night 1 street further in the same are (happy express hotel) and it was so much quieter.

It was available.

The internet was not sufficient for working online, it cut many times. The 'hot water' was not existent. The street next to the hostel is SOOOO loud. The 4 bed dormitory was extremely hot and they did not have a fan to provide.

They had free coffee and a nice terrace at the top of the building. They had water provided for free.

Stayed in January 2024

As an "international youth hostel", their front desk did not speak any English, and the room still smelled of disinfectant when the agreed check-in time came. The common area is large but has no social atmosphere. Visitors are not allowed even in private rooms and the front desk is very rude.

.The only advantage is the location.

Stayed in January 2024

The room looked like a prison and there was no warm water in the shower. It was a shared bathroom without any hooks to hang up things. The hostel was at a busy street and there was a sound from every door that was opened or word that was spoken

The staff was super friendly and & the area was safe

The kitchen

Stayed in December 2023

We had a room facing the street and it was horribly busy, so I could not sleep. The internet connection was very bad and it was going up and down. It may have to do with the room we had because I saw other guests connected and working remotely without problems. The area where the hostel is was a little ugly, although not far from the centre. If you are going on a budget this might be a good option, but I would prefer to spend a bit more and stay in a proper hotel in the centre

OK for a hostel. The common areas looked nice and there has a lot of space. You can see that the owners take a lot of care to keep the hostel in good shape. It is probably the best hostel to stay in Oaxaca, but I don't like hostels that much, so I cannot give a better rating. Kitchen looked nice although I did not use it

Stayed in December 2023

The shared washrooms could have been checked and cleaned more often by the housekeepers. Some guests were not considerate and left the washrooms dirty. I often saw the housekeepers washing the floors in the lobby and halls when the washrooms hadn't been cleaned. It would be better if they prioritized cleaning the washrooms.

My room was quiet and comfortable. The hostel provides free coffee and bottled water all day. The wi-fi is pretty fast, but often you need to take your laptop somewhere close to the router if you have high speed requirements like a video call (ex: Skype & Zoom). There are some tables and chairs near the router. Their 24 hour front desk service is convenient if you plan to have a late night out.

Uncomfortable beds, so much street noise

Location

Stayed in December 2023

It’s very quiet, as there are not really common areas to meet other people in the hostel. So if you’re looking for a more social hostel I’d look somewhere else.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the amenities were perfect. The room was quiet.
