What an excellent place to stay in Oaxaca! It is a bit far away from the centre and you have to use the taxi but it is worth it. Well done guys and muchas gracias for making memorable our stay in Oaxaca (espeacially for taking us all to the cemetery for Dia de los Muertos)! I highly recomend this hostel to other travelers! +++++What an excellent place to stay in Oaxaca! It is a bit far away from the centre and you have to use the taxi but it is worth it.

I would not stay here again. The family who run the hostel are very nice, however I booked because of the swimming pool (it was dirty) and they say they do airport pick ups on the website which they don´t. The room was not very clean and they are built very badly so lots of insects kept coming in, including spiders the size of my hand. I have been travelling for 4 months and this was the worst value place I´ve stayed in. However the bar is set up well, the views are good and the family are nice.I would not stay here again.

There´s a great vibe here and alot of positive, exciting things going on. The place is quite attractive and relaxed, great to come back to at the end of a long day of touring. The pool and the view are outstanding. However, be aware that the owners and staff might be aliens from another planet; human beings just aren´t this nice. Thanks!There´s a great vibe here and alot of positive, exciting things going on. The place is quite attractive and relaxed, great to come back to at the end of a long day of touring.

Some of the best staff at any hostel around the world. So friendly and helpful. Yes, it´s a bit out of town but dont be put off - swimming pool, pool table, restaurant, nice rooms and hammocks, everything you could want. Tour to Mitla picks you up from the hostel as well. Really is a fantastic place to stay and amazing value for money.Some of the best staff at any hostel around the world. So friendly and helpful.

Once a fancy hotel, this now hostel is an amazing getaway. Super clean. Imagine tropical surroundings, a beautiful pool, and the friendliest hosts possible. Brothers Chay and Javier are so kind - both speak English - and make you feel like you\'re part of the family. Food at the hostel is really amazing and the other guests I met are high quality individuals. A few people had stayed there for two months each while doing research... that says something! Go to La Villada and you won\'t regret it!Once a fancy hotel, this now hostel is an amazing getaway. Super clean. Imagine tropical surroundings, a beautiful pool, and the friendliest hosts possible.
