2-Star Hotels in Oaxaca, Mexico

"The location is amazing because you are close to the beach and roght in the middle either to go to punta zicatela or to go to the downtown of puerto escondido. The rooms are spacious and nice decorated. I wouls totally stay again. Just remember that there are so many stairs if you have heavy suitcases ia not so ideal to go up 3 floors."

"Let’s start with the lows. The hostel itself is aggressively barebones. The dorm rooms are tiny, airless, and deeply uncomfortable—less “budget accommodation” and more “temporary storage for humans.” Sleeping in them felt claustrophobic at best and suffocating at worst. The fans also squeaked aggressively all night. I wouldn’t willingly put myself through that again. The bathrooms, while decently laid out, suffered from poor upkeep. The garbage bins were emptied so infrequently that overflowing trash became the norm, which is not the ambiance one hopes for when brushing their teeth. Now, where credit is due: the bathrooms do have hooks and shelves for toiletries—a small detail many hostels somehow still fail to grasp, and it genuinely makes a difference. The rooftop is another bright spot: spacious, relaxed, and a genuinely enjoyable place to spend time. The staff also deserve praise. They put real effort into creating a social atmosphere, organizing events and excursions that were well-attended and made meeting people effortless. Ultimately, this is a full-throttle party hostel. If you value sleep, personal space, or silence, look elsewhere. I won’t be returning, the dorm rooms alone were enough to rule out a return visit. Ginger Banana hostel, which is a short walk from here, looks & feels legitimately luxurious and yet it's cheaper."

"Service is great. Hostel is run by enthusiastic young volunteers from around the world and they welcome you from the first moment. There is a WhatsApp group where activities are announced every day (that was something new for me) and also one can get Intel or help should they need to. I booked for one night but stayed four as the hostel is quite quiet so, you can rest despite the roof top bar that keeps the music there. Also free water is available. One thing though that I didn't like was the all the time cold water at showers ❄️ That made me catch a cold 🤒 Nevertheless, I had a pleasant time in Puerto Escondido. Hasta luego"

"Good location for ADO bus terminal but a long way from the best beach areas (10 mins walk to access the beach due to the river running along and in front of the hostel so you have to walk up on to the main road and cross the estuary and back down to the beach, 45 mins walk to La Punta area along to the other end of the beach)"

"Las habitaciones son muy bonitas, muy bien decoradas y cómodas. La habitación tiene cafetera la cual es muy útil para quienes les gusta el café si salir de la habitación como a nosotros. La atención de las chicas que trabajan ahí es excepcional. La única cosa negativa es la insonorización de la habitación. A nosotros nos tocó una habitación en planta baja y se escuchaba todo de la zona común así que dependerá de la suerte que tengan con los vecinos que les toquen. Nosotros pudimos dormir bastante bien pero con tapones o con auriculares noise cancelling."

"It is located in a central area 10/10"
