Nothing could have been better.

Amazing staff. Beautiful and clean room. Very cool style and sustainable stay.

The eco toilet fills up fairly quickly, but they change them every 3 days so shouldn't be too much of a problem even if you're staying a week.

What a beautiful spot in the heart of Oaxaca. The rooms are all themed according to regions of Mexico, and our room was full of decoration made of musical instruments. The rooftop was perfect, especially to watch the moon. It's an eco-friendly, conscious place to stay in a very clean, artistic city.

The office needs to be remodeled.

Friendly staff, kitchen, wifi, location, quiet

The mattress was a little firm for me, but I consider that a personal preference. Rooms were not extremely soundproof, but this was rarely an issues.

The staff was great! They were supportive, very helpful, courteous and friendly. I stayed for a month and felt like part of the family! The common kitchen was well organized and clean. The property felt secure. The hotel was environmentally conscious, with recycling, and composting toilets that were managed efficiently.

Shared Kitchen was great and just a nice chill vibe.

The eco toilet is probably not to everybody's taste (sawdust based toilet rather than flush) and is only changed every 3 days (can be changed sooner though upon request), but we did appreciate its lower environmental footprint compared to a flushing toilet.

Staff were lovely, friendly, and very accommodating. Gave us a tour of the facilities upon arrival, and helped us book a taxi to the airport at the end. Great communication through WhatsApp throughout too. Facilities - loved the communal kitchen, all guests get a shelf in the cupboard and fridge, so you can cook meals there if you want. There are also tea and coffee facilities there so you could always get a coffee in a morning before heading out for the day. Rooms - we loved the decor and the focus on indigenous art. The bed was comfy and the room stayed lovely and cool despite it being 30+ degrees (c) outside. Location - 10 minute walk into the town centre and felt very safe, perfect if you want to be able to explore the town but also want somewhere a bit quieter to sleep. Sustainability focus was also great - separate waste bins which were clearly labeled and refilled soaps in the bathroom.

Ashtrays should be emptied every night.

Loved how calm and clean it was, the hippy but cleaned up vibe.

Clean and comfortable hotel just a short stroll from the centre.

I think a couple of complimentary kitchen items would have been nice e.g tea, coffee, refreshments, snacks. It would have been nice if there was a mini bar fridge or something where you could buy drinks. Our room and bed was a little small for 2 people and 2 massive suitcases but we managed fine. A nice touch would be a few sunloungers for the terrace.

I really enjoyed my stay at Niyana. They have made a really lovely space away from the busy streets. The care and attention to their environmental impact was amazing. I've never seen so many bins! I liked that the property had a roof terrace so you could sit in the sun and read / bathe. It felt very safe and secure and was a good location to be able to walk to lots of great places. One of the best parts of the stay was the helpfulness of the staff they were super responsive to messages on whatsapp and helped us book a private tour - very much appreciated.

Gorgeous hotel around 5-10 minutes away from the central area. Simple but nicely furnished room. Dry toilet was easy to use.

The walls were very thin and you could hear everything outside the room.

The location was ideal for walking around the city.

The lightning in the room and the dry toilet.

Overall it was good. Staff was friendly and the location is close to the city centre.

Our room was a bit dark as there weren’t any windows and the eco toilet took a bit of getting used to.

I liked that this place was tucked away from the main part of Centro district and had a lot of cool bars and bakeries close to it. Walk to centre wasn’t far and the staff were super friendly!

Nice eco and community friendly hotel on the outskirts of the city centre. Helpful staff. Save place unless you prefer to walk home after 22.00 (better to take Uber then).

The dry toilet is something you need to adapt too... They clean it every 3 days.. however can do it everyday up requests..

The location is good, a short walk into Oaxaca Centre, super comfortable beds

Lovely rooms, eco resort with nice finishing touches. Friendly staff, short walk into the centre of Oaxaca. Note this is an eco hotel, so the toilets are not flush toilets.

We found the bed to be a bit too small for us, though it was absolutely fine for a few days.

Gorgeous little eco-friendly hotel in the heart of Oaxaca. It's an ideal location and we felt super safe there. It was spotlessly clean and the staff were absolutely lovely. The dry toilet situation is a bit weird lol but it felt hygienic and really wasn't a problem for us.

They don't have noise cancellation so you can hear everyone and you can't sleep also you can't close the window and they have auto lighting and when someone start to go somewhere its getting like a day at night - impossible to sleep

really nice staff

I wish the kitchen were equipped with the beautiful Oaxaca ceramics made in the area but this is purely out of aesthetic desire. The kitchen is otherwise very well equipped.

Niyana was an oasis in the hustle of Oaxaca! The staff and volunteers were friendly, attentive and welcoming. The gardens were not only beautiful but also provided delicious flavor to the dishes and tea I made at the hostel. Niyana is an excellent location between Centro and Jalatlaco providing a great home base to explore multiple burros of Oaxaca.
