Great staff, very clean, loved roof top, free water and coffee

I spent 9 nights, having booked a single room with a shared bathroom. I had been to Oaxaca many times, but never in November. At Andaina, I had a room on the 2nd floor aka Nivel 1. The room was EXTREMELY cold, and not getting any sun. Also, it was too close to the front desk and its constant noises. Getting a room on Nivel 2 or 3 would have been a lot more enjoyable for a long stay. The roof top provides a great view of the city and the mountains. The shared kitchen is a great addition to the hostel which provides, free of charge, drinkable water and delicious coffee. The hostel was extremely clean thanks to a hard working crew. I complained to a manager about one of the employees,l who works the front desk. A COMPLETE lack of manners and education was displayed by that young man. I asked the manager to coach him, hoping for a change. Unfortunately, no signs of better customer service and manners were shown during the rest of my stay. That young man shouldn't be working behind a desk dealing with an international clientele. I will give only 3 stars because of him. Otherwise, my rating would have been higher.

A wonderful experience. Amazing staff and hospitality. Convenient location and amazing sunsets! A great value !

This Hostal is very quiet! It’s clean and good for your money. Staff are very helpful. There are 24 hours front desk personnel so you feel safe! It will be great if the Hostal allow a bit drinking on the site. I think this will bring more customers to the Hostal!

Staff are very friendly and helpful! The hostel is very quiet compared to the other hostels, clean and good for the money spent! I’d you want to party with friends, this is not a hotel for you as party and alcoholic drinks are not allowed!

This hostel is very centrally located, yet it was quiet enough for me to sleep well at night. It's very clean and the bed is comfortable. I love that they provide drinking water!! The only thing I would change is to make sure residents understand which bathrooms have hot water and which ones don't (some have solar heated water that can be quite chilly). Oh, and put thicker curtains on the window to keep out the light from the hallway.

The staff were helpful and kind. The location was about 2 blocks from the zocalo.

Noise

It was adequate…clean, comfortable, hot showers, wifi on lower levels only.

La habitación super espaciosa, incluía closet, espejo de cuerpo completo, zapatera, una mesita plegable y una mesa pequeña frente al espejo. El baño es compartido pero muy amplio también y de higiene ningún tema. El personal fue muy amable y me dieron muy buena información siempre que les pregunté. Ofrecen agua y café complementarios. Los únicos contras que vi fue que la regadera y el inodoro están en el mismo espacio, y siendo un solo baño por piso, por las mañanas que mucha gente se baña te podías quedar sin acceso a un baño. La otra cuestión es que las habitaciones que dan a la calle reciben muchísimo ruido. Yo no tuve mucho problema para dormir pero alguien de sueño ligero creo que no podría pasar bien la noche, a veces pasan camiones grandes y hacen mucho escándalo. La habitación se llega a calentar bastante porque le da el sol y no hay ventilador, pero por el precio me parece razonable, en la noche no se sentía tan caluroso a pesar de todo. Tienen una terraza muy bonita y un pequeño gimnasio, en general está bien equipado el edificio. La ubicación es excelente, queda a un par de cuadras del zócalo, de dos mercados grandes (Benito Juárez y 20 de noviembre) y del mercado de artesanías. También está a unos veinte minutos de Santo Domingo y el museo de la cultura de Oaxaca. Me volvería a hospedar aquí.

Nice stay in Oaxaca

Great that I had a single bed in room to myself in a Hostel. Big bonus that.

Central, easy access everywhere. Hostel staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Cheap stay but comfort not so high

The stay was cheap and the room and areas where large and clean. However comfort overall was low. Beds were hard as a brick and there are a lot of noise from traffic during the day and in the mornings, which not even ear plugs can block out (which might be a general thing in Oaxaca centro), so just be aware.

nice, cheap and clean

The location is really good, very central. Huge hostel, it has so many floors and different spaces. Lovely rooftop. You have to climb lots of flights of stairs to reach the kitchen but it has good facilities. NO LAUNDRY SERVICE despite saying it has, but the launderette is around the corner and very cheap. The hostel is really clean and we appreciated that.

Excellent location right in the city centre; spacious rooms with ample storage space; friendly staff - especially the chap in the mornings :) clean, atmospheric and with a great roof top terrace. Definitely a place to return to!

Empleados muy amables

bueno bonito barato; gracias!

Great place

Amazing hostel right in middle of everything individual rooms big very clean shared bathrooms spotless every floor had large water containers

Loved the coffee and water 24hrs. Loved my room and the upstairs deck. Staff was very nice. Location was awesome. Only negative was the kitchen wasn't sufficient for number of rooms and the refrigerator was too warm and my food spoiled. They think they are saving money. Eat in the street, it's wonderful, cheaper and you can find some great cheap restaurants.

My room was perfect for me -quiet, very large, very clean, comfy bed. The staff was nice and kept the coffee pot full and the water jug too. Great top deck for fresh air and coffee in the morning. Awesome location. The shared kitchen is the weak point. They only had two forks so I went next door and bought some, problem solved. The refrigerator is barely cool, typical in South America. They think it saves money. They desperately need four more burners. Only two people can cook at once but there is so much good food here in the street it is really not a big problem. I would kill for an ice machine. Overall though I will stay here again if I can get back to Oaxaca. Very good!

Clean, good location, great price

The rooms are very basic, however, they are private rooms, located 3 blocks from the zocalo and they keep everything very clean. Bathrooms are cleaned and stocked throughout the day rather than only once or twice. The ratio of bathrooms and showers to rooms was appropriate and the staff are helpful and friendly.

Great value for money!

Amazing rooftop, great prices, and lots of common space. Not the most social but that was ok for us - may matter more for you.

The rooms were clean and the location was excellent if you want to shop you walk out the door and your at the markets are 50 metres away. The more historical areas are more of a walk but overall great for the price.

Convenient location

Clean building. Large room. Safe and convenient location

Great location, friendly staff

Great location, clean room, and friendly staff😊 Shower could be hotter, but it was a great stay overall. I’ll stay here if I come back to Oaxaca.

Friendly, clean, great value

Location was perfect. Hostel was clean. Price point is perfect. Would love to stay again here.

This is a four story hostel with good management. Lots of amenities area. Roof top is the best. Located in central area. Walking distance to any famous spots. Highly recommended.

Good location In the center, comfortable private rooms, very clean. Hostel is big and spscious, has terraces with nice views, offers free water, tea, coffee. Close to all sights.

Offered but unavailable.

Most of the facilities offered are not available especially kitchen facilities.

Great location and very quiet for such a large property. Not your traditional backpacker hostel.

Perfect budget location

These are very simple accommodations, but perfect for the price. Everything was clean and well maintained. The wi-fi worked well throughout my stay. There's a nice patio area, plenty of water, a kitchen. They lock the door after 10pm for security, but there's staff on site 24/7. For a budget stay close to the Zocalo, I would definitely recommend Hostel Andaina!

Will return on our next trip

Great staff, clean and large room and common spaces. Close to the action and nice rooftop area. Hot water took some time to come through the shower but it's summer anyway.

Great stay!

This is a fantastic hostel with very friendly and helpful staff.

Bad service, do not have wi fi as the promotion offer , do not have TV service.

It is not modern or look nice but very well maintained. Especially shower snd toilets are. Its location is nothing but great. Highly recommendable.

Good Stay

Good, big hostel. Single room at reasonable price

Clean, friendly and in a prime area of town

Great hostel! very large compared to what I am used to. Super friendly staff. great clean rooms and showering areas. Don't forget to go up on the roof for Oaxacan sunset 😊👌

No d cian que se tenía que reservar el estacionamiento

Me dijeron que ustedes me harían una devolución?

Para ir a descansar está bien, el personal muy amable. Pero para ir a trabajar no lo recomiendo, el internet es pésimo. Yo iba de trabajo por eso tuve que buscar otro hotel porque sólo hay internet en recepción

Esta super centrico el lugar muy amables

muy céntrica

A VERY NICE BIULDING. GOOD SERVICES.

Muy bien todo

El mejor hostal. Muy muy limpio, agradable. No cambien su calidad. Tiene sus espacios de gym. Lugares para trabajar, terraza. Sin duda cuando vuelva a Oaxaca me quedaré allí. Me encantó cada espacio. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Todo muy bien y personal amable

Muy buena estancia, sencillo y muy limpio. El servicio de lo mejor. Muy recomendado.

Superó mis expectativas por mucho! Todo limpio, buena atención y servicio. No tienen estacionamiento, en la aplicación aún indican que lo tienen. Me tocó una habitación hacía la calle, un poco de ruido del tránsito vehicular pero en general todo bien

Bien

Bonito lugar todo bien el estacionamiento esta a una cuadro seguro y todo
