Selina Oaxaca

The accommodation provides excellent value for budget-conscious travelers, with friendly staff and a central location near the zócalo. Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms and comfortable beds.

I've stayed at other Selina's all across LATAM and generally have a good experience because I know they will have a restaurant, bar, games, cowork, good vibes, etc. This is unfortunately the smallest Selina I have come across by far. It is beyond loud, both from the street and from being able to hear the music and people within the Selina because of how it's set up. It is extremely bare bones. The communal kitchen is barely big enough for two people to be in and doesn't have much to offer. The cowork is also a small room with a bunch of desks shoved in it. There's no pool, no movie room, no library, the rooftop bar was closed for construction. I got food poisoning from a chicken sandwich at the restaurant. The staff was kind and did their job. The rooms were clean. If that's all you're looking for then this may be fine for you, but I generally expect a lot more from my Selina experience. And as mentioned it was very loud with tour buses constantly going by, music from the bars, etc.

I purchased a standard room from Priceline and called to confirm there was an en suite bathroom. After my purchase I was told they sold out of the standard and the Selina decided the micro room was an adequate replacement even though it is smaller and they didn’t refund me any money. They refused to let me refund the room. I went under the impression I would have my own bathroom. I showed up and that was not the case. I am sharing a bathroom, which is combined with the shower with about 5-10 other people meaning if someone is showering no one can use the toilet. I went to use the restroom and a couple came out from showering together so that’s fun. Only 2 sinks on opposite sides of the floor. I honestly don’t want to walk through my room without shoes on. It’s wildly loud, no seal on the door. Im supposed to stay here for 5 more days and I will not. I will find another place and work it out with my credit card company. 10/10 would not recommend. Great location tho if that’s your bar for entry.
