La Punta's prime location is arguably best experienced at Frutas y Verduras. We spent just over two weeks exploring every corner of this house, one of the first in the area. Despite the lively atmosphere of La Punta, Frutas y Verduras offers a peaceful retreat. The service was exceptional, thanks to the very kind and helpful staff. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The property boasts several relaxing spaces, from the swimming pool to the main terrace. Our favorite spot was the 'eagle nest' atop the building, offering a spectacular view of the beach and surf lineup. Breakfast was also a highlight, featuring a delightful selection of toasts, waffles, crepes, and more. We truly felt at home, and a heartfelt thanks goes out to the entire team.

Very large colonial building. Private room for solo travellers. Lots of bathrooms, always clean. The kitchen for cooking was excellent also for meeting new people. Rooftop terrace. Gym Quiet especially after 9 pm. The staff are very professional, always around if needed, very friendly but not intrusive. Perfect for long or short stays.

Located right on the beach, lovely clean and comfortable dorm with Aircon. Roof terrace from where you can see the whole beach and islands. But the best thing about staying here was how lovely all the staff are - really friendly and helpful. Suggested great place to eat. Looked after my bags after checkout and let me use the showers in the afternoon.

Such a special place. Loved the aesthetic design in common areas and rooms. The location is amazing, in the vibrant centre just by the local market and cheap delicious food places. The cleaning staff does a great job at keeping the spaces lovely and inviting, and the volunteers organise activities every day, which made it super easy for me to socialise with other solo travellers. Does at great job at being social, but not a party hostel. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

This is a very good basic hostel with private rooms. Clean bathrooms ? Kitchen.drinking water, and free coffee. Being of the older end of backpacker (70+) this place reminded me of the old YHA type accomodation

The best location you can have at Carrizalillo, just a few meters of the beach. Cheap and comfy for those who are traveling on a budget.

What's not to like! Comfy beds, best eggs for breakfast ever, great location near everything, well equipped kitchen and double rooms...but the staff take the cake though! Everyone is very friendly at this hostel, particularly the housekeeping staff. The value for money is unrivalled in the area and we feel very lucky to have found is gem in the Centro Oaxaca! Thanks for having us!

Interesting hostel with an excellent owner who is super friendly and helpful, the dorm room is constantly clean and there's a cute little terrace. Nice social vibe when I was there and free decent filter coffee in the mornings. I stayed a long while and it was a good cheap base for exploring Oaxaca state.

Great location, the included breakfast was tasty and ample, and I appreciated that while the hostel had a social/friendly atmosphere they respected quiet hours with a firm 11pm for the bar/music to shut down. I had booked a private room and found the bed comfortable and clean.

Great location to walk to the beautiful beaches for swimming. A nice social hostel but not a loud party hostel so idea for solo travel or work. The pool was very ideal for the sometimes extreme heat!

Calm, quiet and relaxing hostel. The 4-bed female dorm is comfortable with beds that are built in to the wall (so no getting woken up by creaky, wobbly bunk beds) with space for your stuff and privacy curtains. Nice to have breakfast included in the room rate. Staff are friendly.
