Property Description

Our Hostal makes it easy to base yourself in the city while you meet a wonderful network of travelers from every corner of the world who share a common love, adventure.

Located in the downtown's west side, its so easy to see Oaxaca happening all around you. With the hostel's location at just two blocks from a World Heritage architectural wonder and across the park to a traditional Oaxaqueño market, the experience of life in this little city becomes very palpable while staying with us.
Close by: a couple WIFI enabled coffee shops, small and inexpensive food vendors, physical activities like Boxing, Taw Kwan Do, Yoga and a Latin Rhythms studio, reliable drop off laundry services, traditional haircut parlors, super cheap 'colectivo' style taxi services that go to all the little pueblos around and last but certainly not least, the infamous Central de Abastos market, the biggest one in the state, home to enormous and varied sections of all things Oaxaca: clay pottery, textile goods, esoteric and holistic products, fish and seafood, Oaxacan breads, cheese, exotic fruits, flowers, Mezcal, coffee and chocolate.
And for the nigh time, being the biggest agave producing state has its perks as nightlife in Oaxaca is all about Mezcal and fun long nights. Join us on a nightly pregame in our Hostel Garden Area and then later relax in one of our comfy dorms as you prepare for another daytime adventure. Many other museums, restaurants, shops and bike rentals are also at walking distance

Great staff/volunteers who organize events every night. Great breakfast included every day. Not directly in the historical center, but is less than a 10 minute walk away. Some of the traffic nearby can be a bit noisy.

I stayed here for a week and loved my stay! The free breakfast is incredible (better quality than some restaurants) and the nightly activities are great as well! My favorite was the memelita cooking class, but also loved the mezcal and mole tasting as well as the more chilled pizza and movie nights. The staff are fantastic too (special shoutout to Jaime and Alex!) and made everyone feel so welcome. Highly recommend!
