As two 70-something women, we were a little nervous about staying at a “hostel”. But are worries quickly subsided. Our stay was wonderful! Great value, location and friendly staff.

The most comfortable bed in all of Mexico. We got a private room with a shared bathroom and the facilities were great. Hot shower with great pressure and everything was always clean. Felt like they cleaned the place multiple times a day. The room was also very spacious and the roof top patio was lovely. The staff were very friendly, helping us book tours and guided us on a stressful morning to catch our bus. The location is only a few minutes walk from the center and I felt very safe walking around during the day and at night. I will be coming back again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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!!
