This is probably one of my favourite hostels in Mexico. They provide Free Breakfast for such a low price per night! I met so many great people over the breakfast table. I should have stayed longer in Oaxaca to enjoy all this! The location of the Hostel is very convenient to get to everywhere. The room is big and clean. You have your own big locker that is sufficient to put everything inside. They have air conditioner. They have hot water for shower.

What a gem of a place to stay with such a beautiful view of Oaxaca. We stayed in our own private room and it was great, comfortable bed, great shower and it was cleaned everyday. the shared kitchen worked so well too. The staff were all incredibly helpful and so kind. There was also free drinking water.

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.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel is one of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed at. Such a social vibe with plenty of opportunities to meet new people and explore Oaxaca. It felt super safe and always very clean and the volunteers are the kindest humans ever!!
