Basic Mexican style of one bare light bulb and no art in the room. I asked for a fan, and luckily, they had one because it's the hot season. Location is good.

Easy check in 24 hr front desk. Good location in the center. Good value. Basic room. The rooftop terrace was nice. They had coffee out in the mornings.

No hand towel provided. Pillows were fairly flat, and the bed could be a bit uncomfortable on hot nights when there was no breeze. A mini-fridge would have been useful. The knocker you need to use overnight when the hotel is locked was too far for me to reach and i just had to manually knock on the door instead.

Good value, simple accommodation. Close to the center, without being loud in the evenings. Very clean, good hot showers, strong internet / wifi. Water/Coffee are provided for free a few times a day, which was helpful when coming home late. Staff were friendly, and the space felt secure since entry required a key or for you to be a guest at night.

The room was spacious and private. The terrace above is imacculate. The staff were discreet and polite. Gabriel is a great clerk! I enjoyed my time at Nordes

The windows of the room only opened out on to a tiny little courtyard space - this made the room quite noisy at night as the noise from the other rooms was amplified. The bed was comfortable and clean, except for the pillow - there was only one very small lumpy pillow. Whilst the room was clean and modern, I stayed for 3 nights and no one came once to empty the toilet paper bin or do any other type of cleaning.

The room was spacious and clean. It was also quite cool , especially important as it was a heatwave. The roof terrace was beautiful, especially in the evening once the sun had gone down. The staff, apart from one, were really helpful and friendly. I also really appreciated the coffee and water available at reception in the mornings.

The inside of the building is incredibly beautiful, immaculate, a work of art. It is a peaceful place, a haven in the center of the city. We were blown away.

No bath mat. This seems to be the usual practice here in Mexico

Location. Coffee and drinking water available all the time.

There was a smell sometimes in the room. It may have been due to the water restrictions. The room was extremely plain with lots of brown furniture. A picture or print as in the photos would cheer it up. I just went there to shower and sleep.

It was quiet and the room very spacious that it could fit 3 single beds. The rooftop was nice for relaxing as my room had internal windows. Instant Coffee/ water in the front lobby.

On the first floor rooms, if someone speaks at front desk you may hear the sound.

The location is good near Zócalo, two markets. Value of money. They provide free drinking water.

The windows don't actually go outside but to a vertical shaft so there's limited light in the room. There was some problem with the tap in the bathroom sink. Just a side note: This may be called a hostal, and it does have a shared roof terrace but if you're looking for the traditional hostel community feeling where people get together this isn't the place.

Nice big room which actually had some wardrobe and other options to put your stuff. Nice roof terrace.

There was not brush for the toilet.

The service. They were flexible and very welcomed

You could hear noise in the rooms from other guests rooms/corridor so can be noisy depending on other guests.

Nice and friendly staff (not english speaking but made use of translation apps) who let me wait when I arrived early and waiting for a night bus after check out. The hostel is very well located close to the main square within short walk of all the main sights. It feels very safe with a key issues to guests for the front door. The reception area has free coffee, water, biscuits and fruits for breakfast. The room was well appointed with hot water and wifi. Lovely roof terrace for relaxing in the evening too.

Great value budget hotel very centrally located and with gorgeous rooftop terrace. Rooms are clean and comfy and the staff are friendly and helpful. No frills but had everything I needed for a week in Oaxaca.

Stayed in March 2024

Our room was quite dark, because the windows were facing other rooms and we used the blinds just in case that noone would see inside.

The people working there were very helpful and kind! They also pay a lot of attention to security. The roof terrace was amazing! They provide free coffee, water, biscuits. Very close to the Zocalo, good location.

Room cleaning is every 3 days and if you say you don’t want, then they don’t come the next day. You can of course ask the reception, so not an issue. The noise isolation is bad, so you can hear everything from corridor and outside the building.

Free filter coffee and water provided all day. Good location walkable to Zocalo. Nice terrace

EVERYTHING! price location staff facilities cleanliness

The hostel could be quite noisy because of the design it was quite echoey, if that's a word lol. But it settled down at a decent time so got a good night's sleep

The manager and staff were wonderful. Very helpful and friendly and the manager spoke good English. The location is great for the town square which is where everything goes on. Shops restaurants and pick-up points for tour's. The hostel very clean throughout and my room was clean and comfortable.

Room was a bit noicy as it was close to the reception. Also there is a bar close by that plays music until 1am. With earplugs though is fine. They allow max 10min of shower and there is no warm water after 10pm.

Centrally located, free coffee and water all day. Kind staff. Nice terrace.

I did not have any negative experiences staying at the Nordes.

Great location near the central plaza. Room and bathroom are both good sized with a closet for clothes storage. The hotel is quiet, bed was comfortable and had sufficient bedding for the chilly nights. Hotel is nicely renovated, clean and well kept with a great rooftop terrace. All of the Staff was always very helpful and friendly. The entire staff is very security conscious and control entry to the building. Javier gave me some excellent recommendations for getting around town and for the local area for seeing various sights. Coffee, bottled water and biscuits are available at the front reception area. No fan or AC but was able to keep the room very comfortable using the windows that open to ventilation shafts.
