    The rooms are set around a central, covered courtyard with padded mats and cushions, perfect for relaxing and meeting other travelers. the rooftop bar offers a communal seating arrangement, encouraging socializing. Group dinners are available at an additional cost and free drinking water is provided. the beds are comfortable and equipped with lights and plug sockets. the hostel is conveniently located near the center of town without the noise.

    Felt like a fairy tale, nothing to complain about.

    I had an amazing time staying at a fantastic hostel in Oaxaca. the beds were incredibly comfortable and spacious, and I loved the added privacy provided by the curtains. the kitchen was also very spacious and well-equipped. It was great to have a peaceful and quiet dorm room at night. the location was ideal, close to the city center and a variety of restaurants. the staff were friendly, welcoming, and offered helpful tips for exploring the area. the hostel had plenty of clean bathrooms, and the rooftop was a perfect place to relax in the hammocks. the daily breakfast was delicious and varied, with fresh food prepared by the kitchen staff. I had a great stay here and would highly recommend it. Cons: Couldn't fault it! 😊.

    I recently stayed at Iguana Hostel in Oaxaca and had a great time! The hostel has a unique and charming atmosphere with beautiful murals on the walls. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to offer recommendations for restaurants and trips. The rooftop terrace is a fantastic place to relax, watch movies, and enjoy a barbecue. The dorm rooms are spacious and comfortable, with bunk beds and personal lockers. Despite a few minor noise issues, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hostel to others. a budget-friendly and comfortable option in Oaxaca.

    Great location and friendly staff! The hostel is conveniently located close to the central plaza and the staff were very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and trips. The rooftop terrace is a wonderful addition, perfect for watching movies and having a barbecue. The hostel has a lot of character and the beds are comfortable.

    The noise can be an issue. The reception plays music early in the morning when most guests are still sleeping, and some guests were allowed to be loud on the rooftop late at night.

    Located close to the central place, this hostel offers a nice and sociable atmosphere. The staff, a mix of locals and a former Australian, are very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and trips. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, with the option to watch movies and have barbecues. The hostel also provides bunk beds and lockers in the rooms, ensuring privacy and security. a great choice for those looking for a comfortable stay in a central location.

    One downside is that the hostel has no sign, making it a bit tricky to find at first. the staff can be a bit strict, as they enforce a curfew by closing the bar at 11pm and restricting noise in the common areas.

    The beautiful old bank converted into a hostel was a unique and charming setting. the open-air atmosphere and the rooftop bar were a great place to socialize and meet cool people. As vegetarians and vegans, we appreciated the spacious kitchen and the ability to store our private food items. the big, comfortable beds with curtains provided privacy, and the dorm room was quiet at night, allowing for a peaceful sleep. the staff was flexible, helpful, and created a welcoming atmosphere. the highlight of our stay was the rooftop bar and the chance to meet Rocko, the friendly four-legged 'owner'.

    Felt cared for, no complaint.

    We felt immediately at home and welcomed at Iguana Hostel. The staff and volunteers were simply amazing, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The beds were super comfortable and the setup with the beds on two "floors" inside the room was amazing. The hostel had great facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, free filtered water, and a rooftop bar with a delightful atmosphere. The location was also perfect, with everything we needed within walking distance. one of the best hostels we've ever stayed in, perfect for solo travelers.

    Nothing to be said 😊

    I got amazing value for my money at Iguana Hostel. The room was super comfortable with a unique setup, and I had everything I needed. The location was great, close to everything, and the staff treated me like family.

    The breakfast menu could use a little improvement, maybe adding more variety or some fresh fruit options.

    We had a fantastic stay at Iguana Hostel. The location was perfect and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips on places to go and even recommended bus companies for our trip to San Jose Del Pacifico. The hostel was clean and had plenty of bathrooms. We loved hanging out on the rooftop, taking naps in the hammocks and enjoying the nice view. The breakfast was delicious, with a different option each day, and the woman in the kitchen prepared it fresh for us. The private room we stayed in was comfortable and cozy, with a fan to keep us cool. we highly recommend Iguana Hostel for a great stay in Oaxaca.

    Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes. 😊
