HOSTEL CASA MAGUEY

Loved this hostel!! It was a really nice space and had a great terrace. The staff were all super helpful. There are also lots of great affordable activities and tours organised through the hostel.

The only positive here was the location. The rooms were dirty, without windows, curtains, lights, or lockers. The bathroom was filthy, and shower water flowed into the toilet area. Most staff were friendly, but the older woman (possibly the manager) was rude and arrogant. The ad promised a ‘home-like’ vibe, but I felt the opposite. The hostel looked nothing like the photos – everything was old and unclean. Very disappointing and far from what was advertised.

The hostel was close to the bus station, which was nice. Staff was helpful, and called me a taxi for early the next morning. There was no air conditioning (didn't both me a ton, but it did get rather humid), and no top sheet. Overall, helpful location for my last night in Oaxaca since I didn't want to walk further into town, but I would not return. The tlayudas spot 2 minutes away is great though, and open until late!
