A great location immediately across from the ADO bus terminal in Oaxaca. Unfortunately, that’s the only real positive for this stay. After receiving a message saying check in was at 2pm, on arriving we were then told to come back after 3.15. When we did come back - the EFTPOS terminal was “out of order” so had to pay cash instead. The staff were very polite and seemed nice, and are onsite all hours overnight. The room is quite large, however hadn’t been cleaned. There were hairs on the pillow and some maybe crumbs in the bed? The showers had no hot water and limited water pressure, but had supplied body wash which was nice. Given the state of the cleanliness, we decided to leave without staying the night. Would recommend spending your money elsewhere.

No tuve problemas, todo bien. Bueno, quizás falte un refrigerador en el lobby para meter las cervezas.

El mejor hostal, bueno, muy bonito y súper barato

Dude en reservar ya que había leído malas reseñas. Pero fue todo lo contrario, en realidad es muy limpio, tranquilo y cómodo. Fui a la guelaguetza y pude dejar mi carro frente a la entrada, tienen todo con cámaras y lei que se quejaban por que no hay nadie en recepción, realmente para mi no fue importante y lo sentí como un airb&b. Todo es por claves para entrar. Solo es cuestión de comunicarse días antes para que te las proporcionen y acordar tu llegada. Definitivamente lo recomiendo por el precio es excelente. Junto hay una tienda donde venden de todo y a precios bajos, así como lugares ricos para comer. La terminal de autobuses en frente y la zona muy segura a todas horas del día.
