Not very social but very cute Hostel. Perfect for exploring Oaxaca City. Everything was clean, hot water was provided and the rooftop terrace is very nice. We stayed in a private room & would stay there again. Right across the street is a bar that blasts incredibly loud, terrible music late into the night. Be sure to bring earplugs! Hostel is not easy to find as there is no sign outside.

Merci à Keny pour son accueil et ses conseils. L'hostel est très propre, bien centré, le lit dans les dortoirs est confortable. La piscine et le rooftop sont super. Meilleur hostel!

10/10 – would stay again! Beautiful, modern hostel in a surprisingly large, well-renovated building. Everything felt clean and thoughtfully designed. Staff were very kind and accommodating. I stayed 5 nights in a private room – overall very calm and relaxing. Not very social and can be noisy at night (bring earplugs). Hot water was a bit inconsistent. Still, I felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend it!

Very cool place. Lots of plants and nice decorations all over. Good sized kitchen. Nice living room / pool area. Comfortable beds and roomy dorms. Problems: - toilet doors didn’t lock - no proper shower doors - no lock on dorm rooms - no way to dry hands in bathroom - bathroom / pool weren’t always clean - no privacy screen between two adjacent beds in 12 bed dorm - not very many organised activities

C’est très propre et confortable. La piscine et la terrasse sur le toit sont très agréables. Toutefois, malgré que les gens qui y séjournent soient généralement calmes, l’environnement reste assez bruyant. Il y a un bar devant qui fait jouer de la musique jusqu’aux petites heures du matin. Notre chambre n’était pas près de la rue et nous entendions absolument tout autour. Certains voyageurs ont fait la fête sur le toit jusqu’à 6am un soir, ce qui était assez déplaisant. Si...

A hostel so nice we stayed twice! Our private rooms were on the second floor and we found them spacious, comfortable, and functional. The pool was a perfect afternoon escape from the heat. The atmosphere is mellow, with plenty of quiet spots to relax or work, indoors and out. Great location within walking distance to restaurants and activities. Highly recommend the Oaxaca Food Tour they have posters for as well!

Lovely hostel with a really nice vibe. Staff are lovely, the pool is a major bonus and great facilities. We stayed in a private en suite and were very happy. A polite atmosphere, but not a party hostel. It was filled with couples like us so it was nice.

Hostel qui ressemble à un hôtel au vue des prestations proposées ! Je recommande clairement ce lieu, je n’ai jamais été dans un hostel aussi beau et aussi propre que celui-ci. Très central.

I loved the space so much, I was however really disappointed with the system they used for entry. I never had a good sleep because of it. 2 nights in a row someone was banging on the door for 30 minutes at 5 am and the doorman was not there to let them in. Waking me and several other people up. On the third day, the doorman had left an alarm on his phone that went off for almost 15 minutes. I had even gotten up to turn it off myself, at which point he got up too. Very disappointed with this.

It’s a very nice hostel with a cute aesthetic, very colourful and welcoming with beautiful decor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious enough to stay and sleep comfortably. Only cons were the rooms were not the cleanest and there’s a lot of noise at night because it’s located across from a bar.

Fantastic oasis in the middle of Oaxaca - best kitchen facilities I have ever had in a hostel. Gorgeous little pool and sun area which was fab after a long hot day. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Comfy beds and good hot showers. Really recommend.

Une auberge magnifique, et une décoration de très bon goût, confortable, cuisine et séjour agréables et pratiques. Le salon avec rétro projecteur était très bien pour une soirée SuperBowl avec d'autres clients de l'hostel. La partie piscine très bien également. Points négatifs selon moi : les chambres restent ouvertes (sans clé), malgré l'entrée principale sécurisée de l'hôtel. Les douches/toilettes à part sont très petites et manquent de quelques ajustements (porte-serviett...

beautiful hostel, everything is very new (and some parts still in construction when i was there). not really a sociable vibe and rather empty. staff was nice and helpful. when there was an issue with my room I could quickly change to another one. Great hostel all in all, just needs some more time to find its groove maybe :)

Beautiful hostel with great facilities, especially the dorm beds, pool, rooftop terrace, and common area. Staff were nice, chill, and available 24/7. The one major drawback is that there isn’t a social atmosphere or sense of community among travelers, because activities are not organized within the hostel. So if you are looking for a very communal hostel, this definitely is not it — which is too bad, because there is a lot of potential for it to be fantastic across the board.
