Hostels in Oaxaca, Mexico

Let’s start with the lows. The hostel itself is aggressively barebones. The dorm rooms are tiny, airless, and deeply uncomfortable—less “budget accommodation” and more “temporary storage for humans.” Sleeping in them felt claustrophobic at best and suffocating at worst. The fans also squeaked aggressively all night. I wouldn’t willingly put myself through that again. The bathrooms, while decently laid out, suffered from poor upkeep. The garbage bins were emptied so infrequently that overflowing trash became the norm, which is not the ambiance one hopes for when brushing their teeth. Now, where credit is due: the bathrooms do have hooks and shelves for toiletries—a small detail many hostels somehow still fail to grasp, and it genuinely makes a difference. The rooftop is another bright spot: spacious, relaxed, and a genuinely enjoyable place to spend time. The staff also deserve praise. They put real effort into creating a social atmosphere, organizing events and excursions that were well-attended and made meeting people effortless. Ultimately, this is a full-throttle party hostel. If you value sleep, personal space, or silence, look elsewhere. I won’t be returning, the dorm rooms alone were enough to rule out a return visit. Ginger Banana hostel, which is a short walk from here, looks & feels legitimately luxurious and yet it's cheaper.

部屋のドアの鍵が上手く掛からずその点をメモに書いて置いて来ました。それ以外だと隣の施設の爆音が23時頃までうるさい。せめて22時以降は静かにして欲しかった。 施設は綺麗に管理が行き届き快適に過ごせた。

Good location for ADO bus terminal but a long way from the best beach areas (10 mins walk to access the beach due to the river running along and in front of the hostel so you have to walk up on to the main road and cross the estuary and back down to the beach, 45 mins walk to La Punta area along to the other end of the beach)

It is located in a central area 10/10

The rooms are very nice and very nice. Luca just misses the owner staying one night to experience and can get more or echo.

Vale la pena el gasto. Si busca un hospedaje económico.

A super nice hostel. We loved the kitchen and free water and coffee. The staff is very helpfull and the location is super central. The bathroom was clean most of the time and the room is ok (2 pers room).

Buen hostal... Buen ambiente...
