Guest Reviews
- Dani Szalai (3/5): - The afternoon shift guy is very nice.
The location . The night shift lady speaks on video call and watch tiktok at night i went to ask her to turn down the volume because i cant sleep so she literally just a little bit turnt down the volume, and the room is very very hot, could not sleep before my early flight.
I went down to check out at 6 am and there was no one at the reception so i texted them on WhatsApp about i need to leave.
- Caroline (9/5): Leuk verblijf centraal gelegen in Oaxaca. - Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst. Rachel is zeer behulpzaam en attent.
Er is 's morgens gratis koffie en thee. Ontbijt is niet nodig want het hostal ligt heel centraal en er is voor elk wat wils te vinden. Kamers zijn ruim. De toilet- en doucheruimtes zijn zeer netjes. We did not use the kitchen, but if we would, have we would not have used the pans, they were very damaged, which is unhealthy. They should be replaced.
For the rest NO remarks at all.
- Erik (6/5): - Ubicación Costos extra de estacionamiento
- alaa (5/5): -
- DORA (1/5): - Sólo ubicacion Alcohol sin orden Del lugar.
No regresaré.
- Janette (4/5): Never again!!! - The location First of all search what’s a “Hostel!” I assume it was part of the name!!! No air conditioning, And no restroom or shower in the room! No light in the halls at night, the restrooms and showers share by everyone.
- cricro7 (4/5): - La posizione è top. A 2 passi dal centro e con molto caffe/bar nei dintorni. La ragazza giovane alla reception è cortese. Ci sono molti punti negativi:
la struttura era praticamente vuota. C'erano 3 o 4 persone in tutto l'ostello quando invece altri ostelli erano pieni. Non c'è clima di ostello. Non organizzano (o almeno non promuovono) eventi.
La notte non ti danno chiavi o codici per rientrare, quindi quando si rientra bisogna bussare al portone e aspettare che aprano. La prima notte ci hanno messo almeno 5-6 minuti per aprire ed è stato alquanto pauroso visto che di fronte all'ostello c'era parcheggiata una macchina con i vetri rotti ed era una chiara vittima di un furto.
L'ostello non è ben tenuto, i bagni hanno porte bassissime, ci si vede in faccia.
Il personale non è d'aiuto. Non mostrano la stanza quando si fa check in, non spiegano le regole abbastanza peculiari e obbligano a pagare all'arrivo o non ti fanno entrare. Non funzionava il terminale per pagare con carta e abbiamo dovuto usare tutto il contante che ci restava...
Sono caduto da un'amaca palesemente lì da anni rotta e in pessime condizioni, non si sono neanche avvicinati a chiedere come stessi.
Non lo consiglierei vista l'ampia offerta che c'è nei dintorni.

- Golan (7/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): I felt very comfortable - Very clean, very quiet, and very helpful staff. Kitchen was also good compared to other places I’ve stayed nearby, and the fridge was clean.
- Adrian (6/5): - Ok
- Manolo (2/5): - Sobre venden y cuando llegas te quieren dar algo menor a lo que pagaste
- Mauly (9/5): Superb -
- Matthew (8/5): Very good -
- Pietro (9/5): Superb -
- Pietro (9/5): Superb -
- Cheryl (10/5): I very much enjoyed my stay here. Rachel y Patty were lovely. Such a pretty courtyard to sit in. - The staff are wonderful. The included breakfast is delicious. Very comfortable bed and hot showers with good water pressure. Very clean. Lovey courtyard to sit in with hammocks and a common area in the second floor also. Very quiet considering how close it is to the Zocalo. So close to everything!!! I’ll be back in Oaxaca next week and will definitely stay here then and whenever I come back. The was nothing to not like. Excellent hostel.
- Elio (10/5): - Love casa don José!! Definitely recommend
- John (10/5): Quick in and early out, but the people were nice. Would go back when in Oaxca again. - Slightly off the beaten path and up in the hills above Oaxca. Everything was good.
- Clarita (2/5): - The pillows and blankets were dirty. I could smell the head smell of the other guest who stay at this place. The room smell like mold and dirty. The front desk lady change the price from the reservation and charge me more. I stayed because I was tired but never will stay in this place
- Yen-yen (2/5): You don’t have privacy there - The location is good. You can get to the downtown in 10 mins.
The staffs in the reception are friendly. - the cleaning lady was rude
She will turn off all the light when you are still in the terrace. And without noticing.
When you get into the kitchen in the allowed time, the lady will ask you not to use, even though there is at least 20mins left.
- you don’t have any light in the room, if you take mixed room.
- the doors of shower and the toilet are only half shaped. That means whoever enters the restroom can see who’s inside the shower and toilet and even smell it. There is no privacy.
- The hot water is limited and without warning. There is no hot shower at around 11pm.
- Elda (8/5): Very good -
- Harpreet (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (7/5): Good -
- Julie (6/5): Pleasant - Staff was very nice. It was quiet and I luckily got a whole dorm to myself. There was some confusion, I had requested a taxi to the airport via booking.com special requests, and the lady said she did not know about this. So I ended up getting my own taxi at 5am. But it worked out fine.
Also the bathrooms are exactly as other commenters have mentioned - doors so low you can look people in the eye. Super awkward.
- Martina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gemille (7/5): Good for only 2-3 nights - It’s well located and the place has a cozy vibe. There’s no one to assist you going to the room and unlike other hostels, here they give the pillow and towel upon checking in. So you have to carry everything on your own plus your luggage.
The top bunk has a very small space from the ceiling and it’s not safe going up and down as there’s nothing else to hold on to aside from the ladder.
Wifi wasn’t working very well in the room.
- Katherine (9/5): Lovely hostel - Really lovely hostel, photos don't do it justice! Friendly staff and good clean facilities. Amazing location a couple of blocks from the main square. Able to help us with anything we needed including laundry, storing bags and tour advice. Great price considering we were there for day of the dead! Facilities are basic but kept clean. The loo roll sometimes ran out late at night and early in the morning.
- Dora (10/5): Exceptional - The staff and the place very safe and every morning your coffee yogurt sweet bread and fruit included ✔️
- Grant (9/5): Superb -
- Maike (7/5): Good -
- Peter (7/5): Good -
- Cinthia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dave (10/5): Great location, friendly staff, decent value. Comfortable stay. - Great building, good little continental breakfast that was free while we were there, comfortable rooms, good location. The bathroom stall doors are great if you’re 5’6” or under, but if you’re over that, there’s a good chance you’re gonna lock eyes with someone doing their business. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but feels worth noting.
- Rebecca (8/5): Very good - The Location is great. I also liked the patio. Andriana was very nice and helpful! There was not really the possibility to cook. Also the hostel was quite empty. I was with my best friend and we enjoyed the calmness. But if you do solo travelling and you want to meet people, than it's probably not the right place.
- Leonhard (9/5): Superb - Helpful and friendly staff. Located in centre and yet relatively quiet.
- Barrera (9/5): Superb - / /
- Emile (3/5): Poor - The location We checked in at 8 pm, the staff asked us to pay in cash or leave the hostel.
The bathrooms are horrible.
First bad experience threw booking.com!
- Jozef (8/5): Very good -
- Christian (8/5): Very good - Nice location, old school backpacker atmosphere, nice patio, clean rooms and bath rooms, breakfast included Price for value not so great
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - My partner got sick, and they were amazingly helpful.
- Penkova (3/5): Worst hostel ever! - Bad depressing place Worst hotel ever, super dodgy looks, old, smelling of humidity, horrible room, not worth the money, feeling haunted. Stuff not very helpful, neither friendly, I didn’t have cash so I asked them to pay when I leave.. they wouldn’t let me in..as if I was a criminal, insisting only on giving my passport and the cash!!! Left first thing in the morning..never again!
- Alvaro (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leona (10/5): Great place to stay near the zocolo - I loved this hostel. The staff were so friendly and remembered my name. They had a DJ while I was there. The other guests were very friendly and there was good communal vibes. Loved the hammocks and chill spots. I even found a spot to do yoga. I'd definitely recommend this hostel.
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Excellent helpful staff, clean, comfortable beds, access to charge phone by the bed, laundry services (pay per kilo). Provision of soap and shampoo sachet for guests. Weird half doors in the bathroom/toilets - so people can see your face if standing in the toilet and most of your legs. Was just quite awkward as the ladies bathroom/toilet main door was always left wide open so all the men could see in too!
No free water like other places have them. They do have water and drinks that you can pay for.
- Els (7/5): Good - Friendly staff and perfect location.
- Gioia (8/5): Very good - The location was really great and the lobby was just beautiful The bathrooms lack a bit of privacy
- Castañares (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mariana (9/5): Superb -
- Jeanine (9/5): Superb -
- Jessica (9/5): Lovely relaxing hostel in the centre of Oaxaca - Lovely big room and the whole place had a quite and relaxing vibe. Felt very clean and also good having lockers in the room. Staff were really accommodating- we checked in at 1am after a bus and they were happy to help. Nice that a small breakfast is included. Facilities - in particular the toilets - were a bit basic. Fan in room didn’t really work so was hot.

- Asadbek (10/5): Exceptional - 👍

- Karen (10/5): Amazing hostel, close to everything, feels like home. Highly recommend. - The place is better than the pictures convey. It was pretty, clean, secure, immensely hospitable (Sarai is amazing), and close to everything. If you like hostel traveling, this one won't disappoint. The desk was always available til late and we never once had a problem during our 4-day stay.
- Cynthia Sherezada (8/5): - Me gustó la ubicación, la limpieza y la tranquilidad de el lugar, lo que no me gustó es que me cobraron demasiado por dos noches cuando en Expedia me dio otro precio, se los mencioné pero me dijeron que fue por los impuestos

- Josué Israel (10/5): - El ambiente es muy tranquilo y es muy acogedor. El personal también muy amable
- Elisa (2/5): - No respetan sus políticas establecidas en la página y de expedis tampoco te ayudan a tesolverlo
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Internet connection is quite bad. If you are a digital nomad, I don't recommend staying there. Reception is always full of people asking many things and you need to wait a while until they serve you.
The kitchen space is shared with the laundry. it was a bit unclean.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bathroom that we share are not really clean.
The location is good .
Not a warm place.
- Jazmin (8/5): Cercano y confortable - Es un hospedaje modesto cerca del centro, colorido, con precios módicos entre semana que se incrementan el fin de semana y dependiendo de la temporada, está lejos de bares o fuentes de ruido, salvo que haya huéspedes ruidosos.
- Javed (10/5): Great place for a short or long term stay - Oaxaca - Great location. The staff is very helpful. Rooms are clean and turned down daily
- Gary (6/5): - 25 mins walk from ADO, 16 mins walk from plaza. Room is clean but on the lobby floor that will be noisy in the morning. Do not buy local tour with them, they overpriced, street agent 200 Peso, they charged 300. It is first time, hostel charges the luggage storage, 25peso after 6 pm.😞 a lady can’t speck English always with long face and not helpful. The other lady who can speak English is nice person
- Verified traveler (8/5): - La tranquiludad es buena para descansar, solo estaría bien los baños un poco mas limpios.
- Amalia (10/5): - Desde que llegamos todo el personal súper amable, el trato es maravilloso, nos la pasamos muy bien y la ubicación es perfecta para disfrutar el centro Sin dudarlo regresaríamos,
- Richard (8/5): - I stayed here at the off season so it was quiet. But the staff were very friendly and the location is amazing. Would stay here again. The showers had hot water and the rooms were comfortable
- Verified traveler (4/5): Hostel regular - Estivemos neste hostel durante o Dia dos Mortos. Passamos por falta de água quente nos chuveiros e falta de limpeza no mesmo. Pouca privacidade no banheiro. Os funcionários foram desatenciosos e não há uma politica de silencio próximo das acomodações. Portanto, fomos incomodadas por viajantes que fizeram barulho e musica alta pela noite inteira.
O ambiente e a falta de atividades não favorecem a socialização.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Just terrible management. - We arrived at the hostel around 8pm.The receptionist was attending another person and told us to wait. He then left and didn't show up again. We waited for 10 minutes until a lady showed up. 1st surprise: don't accept card payments like stated on the website. Asked us to go to the bank now. We asked if it's OK to just pay before checkout. Went out for dinner. On our return were rudely asked again to go to the bank.(at midnight). In the morning they came into our room to ask us to pay. The bathrooms seemed like they were not cleaned in a few days. Prefer not to share the pictures here. (bins and floor full of toilet paper.also in the shower.) toilets disgusting, etc. In the morning, when I asked if there wasn't any water in the shower I just got the response 'no'.
For this price you would expect a lot more. I would avoid this place if I could.
- Gabriela (8/5): Desde Toluca - Nos atendieron bien y el lugar es limpio, aunque el personal habla poco y el lugar necesita mantenimiento.
Hace falta que estén disponibles mapas de la ciudad, volantes con información de eventos, etc.
- Viridiana (10/5): Excelente opción - Lo mejor es la ubicación: a tan solo 2 cuadras del zócalo; el lugar es bonito, espacioso, bien distribuido; buena conexión a internet, trato amable, recepción 24 horas. Definitivamente volveré.
- Margaret (8/5): Herbs we Conejo, great location, very nice hosta - Very clean, great staff. Laundry services on site. Wi-Fi, just fine. No private bathrooms though. Great Location. Ceiling fan, which was fine.
- Mary Maureen (10/5): Decent digs! - Very serviceable local helpful staff. Basic accommodation and good for the price. Hot showers.
- Carly (10/5): Great place, awesome staff! - This place is amazing. There is a great atmosphere and the staff are exceptionally helpful. The rooms are clean (don't expect five star if you are a hosteller), plus hot water showers. The building is really beautiful and set up nicely. It's also a really short walk to the centro and they offer well priced tours you can book at the desk. Highly recommend it :)
