Great location, literally on the beach. The food they offer is also incredible, you can enjoy it with a beautiful view on zicatela beach. Last but not least, the service personnel, especially Cristina, went out of their way to assist me with any inquiry i had, recommending me great places to go and much more. Overall, it was a great stay!

This hostel is a hidden gem! The staff is incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming vibe. Perfectly located for savoring local cuisine (bring cash!), the ambiance is super chill. Ideal for digital nomads, the coworking space is excellent, and the internet is spot-on. A top-notch stay – highly recommended!

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The location is great, close to two beaches and only 20 minutes by collectivo to La Punta. The pool is the social heart of the hostel and made it easy to meet people from all over the world. The staff were super helpful and created a really good, fun vibe. I originally planned a short stay but ended up extending twice because I loved it so much. The mix of ages was a big plus for me — as someone in my 30s I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Overall, this hostel has the perfect combination of great amenities, a friendly atmosphere, and the best people. Would definitely come back❤️❤️

The hotel is beautiful, very tasteful, and really close to the beach. The staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the "mas grande" room and it is indeed very big, with a kitchen and two big beds. Very worth the stay!

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

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!
