There seemed to be an echo in the building. Like when the guest next door would close the door. But the hardest was the guests upstairs on my second night…they were talking very loud and it vibrated through the walls…even with the windows closed (which I didn’t like that I had to close when I wanted fresh air). This was my only issue because I needed to sleep a because I had an early start the next morning.

Very comfortable bed (mattress) and clean room. About 20min walk from Centro…nice to see the streets in between to discover many cool local spots. And close to the carretera that can take you to Tule etc.

The bathroom is very small with a shower almost above the toilet and the location is a long walk from the center.

The people are so nice and the place is very authentic. Very cute!

My only suggestion is to make the roof top more comfortable by adding a seating area!

The owners of the property were very attentive to any needs! Very nice people!

All was good 👍

The bed was very comfortable and there was a lot of space in the room. The WiFi was very good too if you need to work. Alejandro checked me in and he was very helpful with everything. It is a nice quiet area and only a 25 minute walk to the centre but there are many cafe's and restaurants close by.

There was no sign outside the door to find the place. The bathroom was not so clean unfortunately. You could absolutely hear everything through the doors. it was a little long walk until the center.

The house had a very friendly atmosphere, the room was very cosy and nice, Denya was a very friendly and attentive host.

Can’t think of anything

Great value. Clean quiet and comfortable. Lots of low key places nearby but out of the downtown hubbub. No on site management, very small place but right on time for our checkin appointment. Super friendly staff.

Nothing

Lovely, big room with comfy bed. Kitchen available which had the facilities to make a simple meal. Halfway between ADO bus station and town centre, lots of restaurants and shops nearby but a bit of a walk into the centre. Staff responded quickly to messages.

A higher chair for sitting at the desk

The location is quiet however it is about a 25 minute walk to Zocolo, the main square. I didn't know it was that far. The bed is very comfortable and the wifi is good, no glitches. There was not a comfortable chair to use while sitting at desk,,because the desk is high and the stool is low. I am standing right now as I type. There is a small refridgerator which is great and there was a kettle for water and a partial jar of instant coffee and sugar. There is also a plug in 2 burner stove so a bit of food could be made. There is another room that shares the bathroom but that was never a problem. Shampoo, soap, lotion, was provided. There is a laundry sink and soap if one wanted to wash clothes and a clothes line. There are buckets which I used to soak my feet after all the walking I did. Lots of closet space. Lots of hangers. There was a blanket for the bed, great because nights can be a bit cool.

Nice and simple Hostal. Has a little kitchen area and fridge. Shared toilet and bathroom. Great value and a super nice owner who shares info, is very kind and really makes your stay a little more special.

I think this would be a perfect place for a couple or friends travelling together, but for me travelling alone there wasn't much opportunity to meet others. Every thing else was great though!

Great place, clean, comfortable and great value!

Floor could be a bit cleaner

Nice and tidy place. Very comfy bed. Family place. They were really helpful. Good and safe walking to the center. There is a dog barking but it's Mexico, so it's everywhere :)

far away from the center, when it was dark we didn’t felt so safe in this area (but maybe its just our feeling and for you it’s different)

Really nice , cozy and comfortable room with a little balcony. In general it’s really quiet there, the communication was really, really good and they was really flexible, we also could leave our luggage there for one night, close to ADO busstation

Dog next door will bark all night.

Is a cozy place. Makes you feel like home.

The staff were lovely! The price for the location is great value, and it has a home-like feel with great decoration in the common areas.

The room - like on the photos but what you can't see is there is big whole around the door and you can hear every single thing a neighbour is doing. The winow to the street - all cars, all dogs, the noise like in your room.

The hosts - VERY RESPONSIVE AND HELPFUL, AMAZING!

The sinks were horribly dirty, like I have never seen before. I told the staff and they came twice to “clean” it, but never did.

The space was nice.

Stayed in March 2025

The shower. It's set in the middle of the small bathroom between the toilet and the sink right at the door. And, the window curtains didn't close all the way. The curtain rod was too short, it didnt extend far enough from the side of the window.

Manager Denia is amazing!!!, super nice, very friendly, and attentive. I let her know that I was going to get there a little late after close and asked if that was okay, and she was very accommodating and patient and showed me the common areas and we chatted a little while longer. She made me feel welcomed. I was there only one night, my room faced the street and there was no traffic or street noise. It was a very quiet and restful sleep. The room was very clean and cozy. Comfy bed. The WiFi was very good. Lots of closet space with hangers. My room was small, which was all I needed for an overnight stay. The room was organized in a way that it didn't feel small. The common area included a sitting area and kitchen with facilities to make coffee and a quick meal. There are plenty of restaurants in the area. A couple of months ago, a friend and I went to Casa de la Cultura Oaxaqueña, they offer classes, they have programs and they have beautiful art, a 9 minute walk from Casa Gecko, then we ate at the vegan restaurant in the area, Los Muchitos Comida Vegana, exceptional food, great service and friendly staff, a 3 minute walk. And then we walked to Centro. We had so much fun checking out all of the shops along the way to Centro. I would definitely stay at Casa Gecko again!

Nothing- it was great!

We are traveling around Mexico and this was by far our favorite place we’ve stayed so far! We were so well looked after, amazing value for money, the loveliest and super helpful staff who went above and beyond. Also quite a homely place with coffee and water supplied!
