Comfortable stay in Azul Cielo! A bit far walking from el Zócalo, but a quick taxi ride to get there also works. Great and working facilities! Staff is amazing and super friendly! They gave us great recommendations for restaurants and breakfast stops. The staff also helped us book a tour to Hierve el Agua - it was incredible! There are a lot of events held at the hostel (e.g. happy hour, yoga, and dance classes). A great place to meet new people!

Gertruda United States of America

We had a private room and it was amazing. Well decorated and large. There was a big office/desk area that I was able to turn into a vanity/getting ready area. We were here for day of the dead and it was close to everything. Plus the hostel threw a fun party on Halloween night. Breakfast was also amazing. Totally recommend!

Tyler United States of America

This is the best hostel in Oaxaca. Amazing staff, beautiful hostel, tasty free breakfast, and friendly fellow travelers!

Mary United States of America

Comfortable little oasis of greenery in the city! Common kitchen was clean, and the decorations were wistful. This is the kind of place that reminds you the importance of traveling, chatting with strangers and exposing yourself to new experiences. We had a private room and bathroom which was cozy clean. Can't speak to the shared rooms or bathrooms.
