Well, the only thing is the first night from the airport was sweltering and my small room had no ventilation. On the positive side, when I asked the next day a ventilator was made available. That made a huge difference!

I liked the central location. There was coffee available on one floor, though no one really made me aware of that. Interesting nooks and crannies all around this large building.

It can be noisy sometimes due to the proximity with city center road.

Well located, clean and comfortable room, lots of common space including outdoors and kitchen. Very good quality for the price paid.

Bathrooms could be cleaner, but still cleaned everyday and fine. WIFI had slightly spotty moments but otherwise was high speed.

Excellent and safe location as a female traveler - VERY close only 5 min walk to the Zocalo plaza. I enjoyed that it was a hostal but I got to enjoy a private room. The room is sparse, but exactly what I needed. I stayed there for 6 days and was quite comfortable. You have to share a bathroom with your floor, but that's fine. Could be a little cleaner but honestly no complaints. The WIFI is generally good, althoguh I did have a couple times where it was spotty, but it always came back and was high speed. I worked there remotely the entire week! The hostal is a GREAT place for coworking because they have many coworking tables and areas. I really enjoyed working in the roofotp with a BEAUTIFUL view of the city. I would definitely stay here again! Safe, comfortable, great location, and the employees are really nice and will help you if needed. I ran out of cash on my last day in Oaxaca and they called me a taxi that accepted credit card.

The room was sparse and with no ceiling fan. Our room was facing the street below which was very noisy until 2 am and the exhaust/pollution from below was noticeable.

The hostel staff was always helpful and attentive and the room and shared bathrooms were clean. The best part about the place is the spaciousness - balconies, common areas, or the terrace. There was even a small gym setup with weights and a punching bag.

My bed was not comfortable, and neither was the chair in the room but I get it, this is a thrifty stay value proposition so you have to taper your expectation accordingly. I would stay here again if I wanted a clean facility with a good location but if rest and comfort is the priority I would look for another place.

The value of this hostel was really good. It is very clean, very large (it feels like it was a school in the past) and well staffed. The balconies, halls, bathrooms, which are aplenty, were all very clean and maintained that way. The staff were all very lovely and kind. I stayed here for 9 days and was able to access everything I had wanted to on my trip to Oaxaca. The location made this very easy. The amenities were great for this price point, I did enjoy the coffee when there was some left and managed to get a few workouts in on the balconies with the dumbbells' on the third floor.

Not the most social hostal

The location of the hostal is great and the view on the rooftop is really nice. Good value for money.

It’s a bit spooky at night 😅. Bed wasn’t very comfortable and room looked like a prison.

It’s super spacious and clean, shower was nice. Staff are great specially the ladies in the morning, very friendly and always keen on helping. Location is great

A bit loud early in the morning & throughout the day because right next to a bustling market

Great value, not too far from the center, clean bathrooms

Stayed in January 2024

The kitchen has restricted time to use the stove. Not convenient. Not enough cutlery in kitchen.

We arrived in hostel 6am, and staff let us in to use common areas. 8am, check in, and give us a room . The lady at the front desk told us where to take bus to ADO bus station and some other town. The place is very clean. Later, let us use the common area after check out till evening.

The supply of hot water was sporadic. Complaints about this were met with stoney indifference. Kitchen equipment was worn out to the point of being downright dangerous: handles coming off pots and pans while in use; not a soup or teaspoon to be found. Kitchen is locked down (literally) 10:00 to noon and 16:00 to 18:00 for no apparent reason.

Very bright and clean; lots of space and natural light in common areas. Cheerful decor and attractive cactus gardens.

I was solo travelling and it was not an extremely social hotel. I was surprised not more people were using the amazing roof! Everything else was perfect.

The location is perfect. It is the biggest building in the area and there is a beautiful terrace. The dorm rooms are spacious but not overcrowded, and the beds are comfortable. They have coffee and water. The hot taps work well in the shower. I think this would be a perfect hostel for a travel group.

Our room was accesible vía patio, where you go to the toilets and showers also through an open space. I can't imagine how that functions when it's cold or it rains. In November it was already quite cold in the evening to run through the patio to take the shower. Additionally, there is no elevator, so a bit of a hustle if you stay on the last floor.

Big and spacious shared spaces, good location (walking distance to the centre). Relatively clean.

It can be a little noisy at night. I wish the rooms had more hooks, tables or shelves for your luggage.

I have stayed at Andaina on various trips. The location is great for the markets and the Zocolo., also for catching transport to outlaying villages. The solo rooms are small but sufficient. Bathrooms are plentiful and clean.

The hostel feels a bit ran down, it feels in different small details

Nice location, good price, nice view from the kitchen terrace.

The bed could do with an extra pillow, my preference.

Great all round, central location, very clean, large communal spaces, very friendly staff and great views from the terraces.

The WiFi barely didn´t work, except around the reception area. That could be improved.

The location was excellent, the beds were comfortable and the toilets were big and spacious.

Lock on our room wasn't working properly so ended up locked out with staff trying to break in through the window! Got moved to another room which was overlooking the main road and VERY noisey from 6am till midnight. Don't stay in these rooms. Ants everywhere in our room. Cleaning staff very friendly and accommodating but not so the reception staff. So big that there is no vibe, soulless. Basic kitchen utensils, not enough cutlery etc. No microwave. Not always hot water for the showers 50/50 No alcohol rule on the premises. Unusual for a hostel.

Location is excellent. Complimentary coffee and biscuits on our floor, cleanliness of bathrooms. Very spacious common areas. Sunny roof top terrace.
