Amazing View. Extremely Friendly Staff. Clean and everything you could ever need at a great price. The only hostel I would book in Oaxaca!

I've stayed at La Villada Inn 4-5 times now. It's run by an awesome family who make you feel right at home. The staff is attentive to what you need, and will consistently go out of there way to accomodate you. The place feels more like a resort than a hostel and has always felt super safe. There's an awesome pool, great little restaurant and bar, all with gorgeous views of the mountains. It seems to attract a great crowd too as I've always met cool people passing through.

would NOT recommend this place at all. Far away from everything, they didn{t have food in the restaurant, not even milk for a coffee- restaurant staff were rude and not helpfull at all. They advertise the bar which looks pretty good but only opens Saturday nights. Went there with my boyfriend hoping to find a backpackerish environment and it was the most boring place we have stayed in mexico. very dissapointing. they wouldnt even let us use the pool table and there was none at all. OVERATED!

Hostel is situated on top of the hill: amazing view, but you need a taxi to get there (40-50 peso). Personally I loved it because of the quietness (no honking cars). The owner (Javier) is a really nice guy, we had several talks (beers) with him and he gave us advice on where to go and what to do. He would make sure our stay would be not forgotten. Pool is a big plus in hot Oaxaca. Breakfast not included but it's cheap and good quality. Would go there again!

Quiet hostel with views over the surrounding area. The owner is really hepful and the atmosphere is relaxed. The only downside was the pool which wasn´t that clean.

Their facilities are simply excellent. Quiet neighborhood, clean and spacious rooms, awesome bar with pool, and swiming pool. The owner family is very helpful and nice. You don't need to think about how and what to do in Oaxaca. The only complaint is their location. They are on a pretty big hill and it's like torture to climb up from the bus stop to the hostel. I gave up to walk myself and took taxi every time. Overall this hostel, but, are highly recommended if you don't need to stay downtown.

The only real criticism we had is that the shower head sprayed water all over the place making it difficult to find a good place to rinse! The management and staff were delightful.

As comfortable as a bed on a dancefloor... Everthing was fine (pool, restaurant, room) until the night started, and with it the party at the poolbar. In the case of this posada a party in the bar means that anyone in the next 100m will hear music loud and clear, whether actually being on the dancefloor or in their bed. So until the music stopped at 4 am, none was able to sleep and nobody had warned us. So before booking here, make sure no party is planned - or that you are in a big party mood.

My room was noisy and dirty, spiders, black hairs in the shower and dust so thick on the shelves it stained my case. I tried to pay 3 times but the staff were not around. Having been told I could pay in US$ and receive change in US$ I did not and got my change in pesos at a bum exchange rate. After the 4th night of not being able to sleep due to loud music I left at 3.00am. They have a bar they hire out to corporates for Xmas parties. Deeply unhelpful staff too.

Whilst this hostel is a bit out of the town it is beautiful and more like a resort under construction than a hostel, at a hostel prices. Bus service in and out of town makes it work. Stay here if you want to chill or the Centro if you want to party...
