The 7 Best Hostels in Oaxaca (Updated 2025)

"I appreciated that Iguana Hostel Oaxaca avoids bunk beds entirely—dorms have single beds with privacy curtains and outlets so you don’t have someone tossing and turning above you—and it remains very social while calming down by 11pm. There are numerous common areas including outdoor hammocks, clean bathrooms (a big plus), and a huge kitchen for cooking your own meals; it’s also one of the more affordable options and includes free breakfast, delivering strong value." - Matthew Kepnes
