Casa Angel Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Oaxaca City. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is 700 metres from the city centre and 10 km from Monte Alban. Most social hostel I've ever been to. They really make an effort to plan activities and make the atmosphere fun for everyone. Great happy hour on the rooftop. I like that people actually respected the 11 pm quiet rule. Customer service was top notch. Loved that there were several bathrooms which were all clean and had hot water.

Ideally set in the centre of Oaxaca City, Hostal Nordés features free WiFi, a terrace and free private parking for guests who drive. The property is situated 7.3 km from Monte Alban, 46 km from Mitla and 500 metres from Oaxaca Cathedral. The accommodation provides a concierge service, a tour desk and luggage storage for guests.

At the hostel, the rooms are fitted with a desk. All rooms at Hostal Nordés are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. Hostal Nordés offered me and my partner a most wonderful stay. The room was clean, spacious, with all the facilities promised, including hot water (for a 15-minute period at a time, and only between 6am and 11pm; understandable given the water stress of the region), and high pressure water. The staff was very helpful and prompt in helping us when we needed. The terrace on top of the building is absolutely gorgeous with amazing views over the city. Highly recommend it!
