Casa Angel Hostel,

Had a nice stay in a private room. A staff member, Emmanuel, helped my a lot in getting me a bus ticket when I needed help. The bar staff when I was there this past Monday/Tuesday were delightful. Room is decent for the price; shower floor needs some work and the door/lock is very thin. Location is pretty good too! I would recommend this hostel.

Great place to stay! I have stayed multiple times here and overall they really try to create a social atmosphere but there is also space to have quite restorative time. I really enjoyed the yoga in the morning and there was a good vegan taco bar close by which was important to me. Very safe. Everything you need!

I've stayed in over 30 hostels worldwide. This is the best one. Their attention to detail is unparalleled. They have a seemingly endless amount of showers and bathrooms. Amazing breakfast cooked by the most lovely ladies, who even gave me extra pancakes because I'm a big guy who needs a lot of food. These small non capitalist acts go such a long way. They're not trying to make it all about profit, rather about you truly having a good stay. The deluxe pods are super private, I love the little window I have in it. It's super clean. The terrace is great. Vibes are welcoming and social. I can go on and on... if you need a hostel in Oaxaca, you won't find a better one than this.

Such a great hostel. Super clean and they always organize events on their rooftops with a good happy hour, so it’s super easy to meet people. If your budget allows it, book the deluxe pods 👌🏻

I loved it here! Amazing people, amazing place and amazing city. If you are in Oaxaca I would highly recommend you going here. Also: You get a 10% Discount for writing a review of a place you will like anyway!

We stayed there for four nights during the new year. The location is really good and near the centre of town and the breakfast is included which is nice (but we also paid quite a lot so would expect it). The room was clean but the beds were not very comfortable and cushions were rock solid. Unfortunately we had a room on the top floor and could hear everything on the rooftop. They put really loud music from 7-11pm every night so if you want to rest I would suggest not booking at this place. The service is okay - nothing special. However it’s a great place to meet people if you’re travelling alone.

Amazing hostel! They organise so many great activities - the food tour was great. Clean and modern rooms and really friendly staff.

Bar should be open longer, earlier start and later finish in my opinion but it is a nice hostel. Would be nice if there was a place to exercise more easily but no major issues would recommend staying here

Note: I did NOT stay here, although I made friends who did and they liked it a lot, and said the AC was great, bathrooms were nice, etc. I came to the rooftop twice and absolutely loved it. Fabulous vibe, cheap drinks (50 pesos for cocktails during happy hour and 15 pesos for beers) that were pretty decent, fun activities, great space (lots of seating), etc. Very very friendly staff. All of the bartenders were lovely as were the people running the activities (mezcal tasting one night and salsa dancing the next). Would definitely stay here when I come back to Oaxaca city.

Stayed 6 days and probably wouldn't return due to sound issues. The good: Awesome location and something to do everyday. I really enjoyed rooftop morning yoga and my walking tour which went to the highest point overlooking the city! I stayed in the Deluxe 6 bed and the curtain blocks out most of the light. My locker was spacious and in general- the room was well designed! There was a little patio to sit on outside of the room, showers were usually open, and the room had floor lighting to avoid waking others in the night -- a fan and even AC! The rooftop was designed with outdoor "beds" that you could hang out on and there are a couple long tables which are a great place to meet people. Downstairs, the kitchen is nice and free breakfast each morning was a huge plus! Awesome that they offer cheap connections to buses south (Escondido etc) and you can easily book them up front. Hostel staff is friendly and helpful. The bad: The rooftop was extremely loud most nights, at least in the deluxe room (perhaps because of the patio area with no roof it lets in more sound). I felt like no one in my room really enjoyed how loud the rooftop was even early most nights with blaring music. I found the noise really disorienting as the deluxe rooms are marketed as a "restful" area, and although we wanted fresh air most nights we would close the patio door to block out some of the noise. The rooftop food was pretty passable - wouldn't recommend the burgers.

We stayed in Casa Angel for about five days. Staff: Staff was very helpful and accommodating. We changed our reservations about three times without difficulty (to go to Puerto Escondido). Amenities: Rooms, bathrooms and common areas were very clean. They offer free breakfast or charge 40 pesos if you aren't staying there. You can leave your stuff in a locked room; it's about 10 pesos a night. They also offered tours which we took advantaged of; probably can get a better deal somewhere else but we were too lazy. There's a lovely terrace with a good view and you can play your own music (with an aux cord) Location: walkable to everything. There's a market, convenience stores (to buy snacks, water and alcohol) and street food within two blocks. Taxis are about 40 pesos from anywhere in town. Not sure what the other hostels in the area offered but we had guests from other hostels hanging out in the common rooms. I took a star off for the super slow WIFI and the overpriced tours/shuttle services.

My cousin and I decided to Watch Donaji la Leyenda,spend the night at Casa Angel,then check out in the morning,leave our things in their storage and watch the Guelaguetza. It was the perfect spot to stay at! The stair entrance to El cerro del fortin was literally a five minute walk from the hostel. And the walk up the very steep stairs took 5/7 minutes. Thus,making it the perfect distance for a safe late-night walk for us ladies. Santo Domingo,El Zocalo and the whole enchilada is a 7-10 minute walk. Walk across the street and there you will find a washing service for your dirty clothes. Rooms: Bring a lock! They gave us sheets and towels have to be reented. The room we had was for three and it was a good size but stuffy! Luckily there is a fan. Bathrooms: Has two showers and 1 toilet Very clean. Wifi is privided. Breakfast is from 8am-10pm

Great hostel to stay. Really clean. Friendly staff. Close to Oaxaca downtown (walking distance). Nice terrace.
