The common areas were dirty, used water and soda bottles sat on the table for three days. Music was loud until 11 pm, more of a party hostel with the bar upstairs. Aussie staff was arrogant and rude, did not feel welcome or comfortable handing over money for my stay when he said he ‘kind of’ works here. Other staff were great. If you’re looking for a place to get pissed this is it. If you’re looking for a nice place to unwind and explore Oaxaca. There are plenty of others in the area.
The location was great. Breakfast was also great.

The location is great, the staff at the hostel were very friendly, welcoming and helpful with tips of places to go and bus companies to take to San José Del Pacifico. There are plenty of bathrooms and they were always nice and clean. The rooftop is a nice place to hang out, we took a nap in the hammocks during the day after our night bus. The breakfast was really good and prepared fresh by the woman working in the kitchen. It was different each day - one day was pancakes, another day an omelette and another day quesadillas and always with fruit. The bed in the private room was comfortable and a nice cosy area to chill out, complete with a fan. Overall we had a great stay here and would recommend.

Is dirty everywhere, and also need a lot of maintenance. They have a great place!!! Just clean and a little invest would be wonderful. Also place clear rules to people who contract there I mean if you read something that says “if you did me mess clean it” at toilettes, for sure there are people are not gonna clean, they have to clean... Bathrooms were stinky I think a bus terminal toilette is more clean... But after all everything is good fair for the price...
Has a very good location...

At times it gets crowded but you can still find a quiet corner. During my stay in Oaxaca I was more in a quiet mood so did not join many activities yet it was super easy to socialize when I felt like it.
Great coffee and bfast, very friendly, helpful and attenrive staff and owner, nice international atmosphere, smart and modern design of the place (rooftop with many levels, hammocks, big kitchen), central location close to the main square. The bathrooms were very clean and the team of volunteers very well organised and helpful.
