Hierba de Conejo - Hostel

Oaxaca

Internet connection is quite bad. If you are a digital nomad, I don't recommend staying there. Reception is always full of people asking many things and you need to wait a while until they serve you. The kitchen space is shared with the laundry. it was a bit unclean.

Bathroom that we share are not really clean.The location is good .Not  a warm place.

Great location. The staff is very helpful. Rooms are clean and turned down daily

Great place for a short or long term stay - Oaxaca

25 mins walk from ADO, 16 mins walk from plaza. Room is clean but on the lobby floor that will be noisy in the morning. Do not buy local tour with them, they overpriced, street agent 200 Peso, they charged 300. It is first time, hostel charges the luggage storage, 25peso after 6 pm.😞 a lady can’t speck English always with long face and not helpful. The other lady who can speak English is nice person

The check in process was more difficult than it needed to be. First the receptionist booked us for the wrong night. No biggie, because we thought he cleared it up, then the next morning when we showed up with our stuff, they had two people booked in our beds and the staff were confused as to who we were?! It took a while to sort out. Luckily I had requested a receipt the night before, otherwise who knows? 

Then during check in process the little dog that's on the property bit me when he came up to me and I tried to pet him. One of the ladies (I think she was the owner) helped prep my wound and put peroxide and antibiotic cream on it, but they acted like it was normal and okay for the dog to bite guests! Not cool! I'm still wondering if I might have rabies! The owner assured me the dog doesn't have rabies... but being bitten on my vacation at a hostel wasn't part of my travel plans... why is a dog that bites people allowed to roam around on the premises? After going through other reviews on here I see that I'm not the first person this dog has bitten! This is not acceptable at all!

The people at this hostel were really weird, not the hostels fault obviously, but everyone was either very pretentious and arrogant or angry for no reason, continously slamming the lockers, throwing their stuff around, banging on stuff, like they were having a bad night or something. We'd say hola or hello and they wouldn't respond. The guy my wife and I had to share a dorm with was super weird and creepy, luckily the night staff worker agreed to change our dorm room, and we ended up with a dorm all to ourselves! Nice. 

Also the guests at this place were some of the nastiest and dirtiest I've ever encountered in all my years of traveling, they had no respect for leaving the bathrooms clean! They didn't believe in flushing the toilets, they left soiled toilet paper pieces all over the stalls, someone shaved their beard and left the hairs all over the sink, disgusting!

The location can't be beat, right near the Zocalo, and the property is big and clean. The dorm beds were spacious and very comfortable. Accordingly there's a shared kitchen and laundry service but we didn't use either, as we were there only one night. Had my wife and I not been given a private dorm room the night we stayed here I would find it hard to recommend this place, mainly because of the dirty guests and the biting dog, at least the price was right, but I think there are much better options in Oaxaca.


Place Should Be Called The Biting Dog!

The good thing about this place is that it accepts pets though it is not pet friendly.  The personnel are not friendly but I had a nice time because I was with my newly rescued puppy and I did not have to hide him which in most places in Mexico you do most places do not accept pets so be happy about the fact that this place does.  There was a hammock chair I absolutely loved I relaxed in it for more than an hour.  The bed was comfortable enough and the shower was clean enough but the cleaning woman did not help me clean up an accident my puppy had so it is not really pet friendly.  After i cleaned up the mess she did not offer to mop in the room to get the smell completely out but she was more than willing to butt in when the manager was helping me connect my phone to the internet, she entered my room and I asked her if I could help her and so she finally got the hint and left.  I found her to be intrusive.
Thew bottom line is it doesn't matter how unfriendly the staff is if you go with your dog.:)  So enjoy the stay with your little pup and ignore the bad vibes.  I have to give it four stars because it accepts dogs and almost no hostels do in Oaxaca and in Mexico in general and the place itself was open and airy so it didn't have really bad energy itself only the staff.

Accepts pets

I stayed here at the off season so it was quiet. But the staff were very friendly and the location is amazing. Would stay here again. The showers had hot water and the rooms were comfortable

We arrived at the hostel around 8pm.The receptionist was attending another person and told us to wait. He then left and didn't show up again. We waited for 10 minutes until a lady showed up. 1st surprise: don't accept card payments like stated on the website. Asked us to go to the bank now. We asked if it's OK to just pay before checkout. Went out for dinner. On our return were rudely asked again to go to the bank.(at midnight). In the morning they came into our room to ask us to pay. The bathrooms seemed like they were not cleaned in a few days. Prefer not to share the pictures here. (bins and floor full of toilet paper.also in the shower.) toilets disgusting, etc. In the morning, when I asked if there wasn't any water in the shower I just got the response 'no'.For this price you would expect a lot more. I would avoid this place if I could.

Just terrible management.

Very clean,  great staff. Laundry services on site. Wi-Fi, just fine. No private bathrooms though. Great Location. Ceiling fan, which was fine.

Herbs we Conejo,  great location,  very nice hosta

Very serviceable local helpful staff. Basic accommodation and good for the price. Hot showers.
