Ended up actually leaving this hostel as it’s situated on a junction where drivers can’t get their heads around not blocking so they’re all beeping at each other. Made worse by the fact that the windows in the women’s dorm don’t seal properly so you’re exposed to as much noise as if you’re sleeping on the street. Maybe fine if you’re a heavy sleeper. Also had trouble with cancelling the days I wasn’t there - the first receptionist lied to me and I had to go back in person to so...
Very central, the vibe was just a bit off
L’endroit est idéalement situé et l’auberge est très mignonne Les dortoirs sont spacieux et la salle de bain aussi En revanche aucune cuisine ni possibilité d’avoir accès ne serait ce qu’à des couverts
The place is ideally located and the hostel is very cute The dorms are spacious and the bathroom too However, no kitchen or possibility of having access would be only cutlery
Friendly staff and location is great to discover the city of Oaxaca. Downside was the atmosphere of the hostel; mainly families so not really a great place to meet new people. Pleasant stay nevertheless.
Good place to stay for just a couple of days. The rooms are a little packed. There's a cleaning lady cleaning literally the whole day, probs to her, and the staff Ivan and the Argentinian woman were awesome!
Paulina is OK. The location is about three blocks from the Zocalo so all good there. The breakfast (omelet, toast, fruit, yogurt, coffee good. The light at my bunk in the male dorm was busted bad.
Great place just lack of charm/details. Breakfast included, great location, I just changed because there were no people.
The breakfast is good. The place is cleaned every day. Got 2 fresh sheets and a towel. The rooms had only 2 outlets for six beds. The common area is a bit awkward for people who might want to read/ write/ work. No table areas with outlets. Traffic noises are pretty loud until maybe 1 or 2am at least but you are only a short walk from the center. Overall decent for vacationing, but for digital nomads maybe not so much.
Excelente hostal en el mero centro de la capital de Oaxaca, con desayuno completo incluido. Hay algunos detalles: las literas son poco espaciosas, es necesario cambiarlas por otras más amplias en altura.
The bed that I was given had not been cleaned properly so after providing this feedback to the staff, they immediately changed me to another room without any issue. This was absolutely service oriented and a fantastic way of having handled my inquiry. Overall a good stay there. Location is good. One point for improvement: it says that there is a microwave to be used. There is one however it is in the kitchen which is locked once breakfast is over. So putting e.g. a water kettle in the common are...

J'ai vraiment apprécié cet endroit, calme, propre et spacieux
I really enjoyed this place, quiet, clean and spacious

Location was great staff were helpful everywhere were clean I was happy when I was there. The only thing that I had problem was their kitchen equipments. The burners were really slow. It took so long to warmup or cook my food. They didn’t have microwave, Kettle, or enough pots.
The perfect hostel if you’re looking for a bit of a break from cramped hostels. The bathroom in the room is huge and really clean and the room in general is pretty big. Not very sociable atmosphere because the whole place is so big but I loved it.
Un hostel super limpio, comodo, espacioso y cuidado. Estuve super a gusto, el desayuno estaba muy rico y cada día algo diferente. El personal muy amigable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar y resolver dudas. Un acierto total para quedarse unos o muchos dias en Oaxaca!
A super clean, comfortable, spacious and cared hostel. I was super at ease, the breakfast was very rich and every day something different. The staff very friendly and always willing to help and solve any doubts. A total hit to stay a few or many days in Oaxaca!
I really enjoyed my stay. The beds are comfortable, it's clean, the breakfast is delicious and the staff is very nice and helpful. The location is also great. The only thing I missed was a socket at my bed (some had but mine not). I would like to come back!

Suuuuper freundliches Personal, saubere Unterkunft. Gemütliche Betten und man bekommt vor Ort auch ein Handtuch. Frühstück war inklusive und war aus einem Früchteteller mit Joghurt und Müsli, frischem Saft und Eiern mit Toast zusammengesetzt. Ich empfehle auch die große Dachterrasse zu nutzen. Nichts auszusetzen :)
Nice and very clean hostel! The hostel staff was very very friendly and always super helpful. The dorms are big and spacious with basic facilities. Amazing bathroom with hot water! The breakfast was also delicious. The hostel itself isn’t social but it’s great to rest.
Auberge simple mais qui fait le job : draps, serviette, eau chaude, petit déj dès 8h. Bien placée proche du zócalo.
Great place just lack of charm/details. Breakfast included, great location, I just changed because there were no people.
Muy buen hostal! Muy amables los chicos de la recepción y todo el personal. El desayuno exquisito y el patio interior ideal para pasar un buen rato.
