“very good location, but facilty is bad”
+-breakfast is good, hot fresh food, but the time is from 9 to 10:30 am...so its hard to have breakfast when you have early departing tour -location is super good. very close to everywhere you need to go in the city center. -staffs were volunteers, they were kind and supportive for the stay.
−-toilet is the worst ive ever experience. the pressure to flush is the worst I have ever experience. there are like 6 toilets in total, and none of them does not flush and always stuck, so i had to watch other guests' shits everytime i open the door. -there are too many mosquitos in the toilet, since toilets are outside the building, and i got several bites for most of the times i wen to toilet. -the shower room is just next to the toilet, and the wall to devide toilet and shower is by a wooden wall, but the ceiling is not devided. so you can hear the toilet sound, and it is not sanitary. -there is only big fans for the room, so it is basically hot, and it does not reach properly to the bed. -the curtains to devide the beds are not 100% blocking each bed from the next one (i expected better) -music in common area is played loud until 11PM, and you can hear it very well from your bed.( the dorm room door is opened wide all the time and you cannot close it due to big fan)

+Très sympathique adresse, où on se sent bien tout de suite ! En plein centre ville et coloré, cette auberge offre également des activités, un bar et des lits confortables dans un dortoir spacieux. Excellent rapport qualité-prix, le petit déjeuner étant un vrai plus !
−Les installations sont vraiment vieillottes et en mauvais état.

+Social setting was nice. In the dorm rooms there are curtains around the bed (kinda hard to tell what’s going on from the pics) and it creates like a little room. There are free activities in the hostal like tamales making classes. Nice vibe. Recommended

“Really bad service and blasting loud music until 11pm. There are much better options in Oaxaca.”
+The overnight worker was helpful. He tried to correct the mistakes of the day workers.
−They double booked my room, so I lost a day of my trip figuring out their mess. The Asian woman with a British accent working the front desk on Jan 30th was obnoxious. The 1-star rating is because of her. After the hotel screwed up my booking, she was zero help, and she made comments implying it was my fault. People like that should not be in hospitality. The staff also blasted electronic music right outside my room until 11pm every night.
