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.

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.

Friendly staff, social atmosphere, convenient location, comfortable beds with privacy dividers, lively rooftop bar.

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 location was amazing, right at the heart of a beautiful city. the staff were incredibly helpful and the hostel had a great vibe. I loved the rooftop terrace and the bar in the evenings was a fun place to meet other travelers. the rooms were clean and comfortable, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. the communal courtyard was a great place to hang out and meet new people. a fantastic experience!

Was all great! 😊.

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.
