Emilio and Marta Escobar, the owners/operators, are warm, helpful people. The hostel is centrally located, and as noted in another review, buses to Monte Alban and to the outlying cemeteries (we visited during the Day of the Dead festivities) are across the street. Tickets for the tours can be bought at the reception/office. Shared kitchen facilities are available, although we preferred to eat our breakfast in the market just a couple of blocks away. The front gate is locked at night for security, and the Escobars aim to provide an economical, safe and quiet environment for visitors. We ended up feeling more like family than guests.

Easy to recommend

Lovely hostel, loved the decoration in it, the attention to the smallest details, and the owner playing jazz music on a Saturday morning. I'd go back if once again in Oaxaca and I definitely recommend it.

Attention to the detail

Spent 4 nights here. Good location, close to market, tons of food booths, ADO ticket office and most transport options going out of town (including Monte Alban). Walking distance to Zocalo and main pedestrian street of city. Comfortable, clean rooms, well maintained. Pretty quiet. Helpful staff, accepted my early check-in.

Great budget option for a private room

We stayed here for two nights in June (2014) the owners/hosts are very friendly and gave us great advice on where to go and where not to go. Our room was great with a clean shared bathroom. Right opposite the hostel is Hotel Rivera de angles where you get the shuttle to monte alban for 60 pesos. Food markets are really close (3  blocks) and only a 50 peso taxi ride to and from ADO bus terminal. We would stay here again. 

Great stay

Very interesing decor, especially I've visited it at the Dia de los muertos. But lack of hot water (sic!) and horrible traffic noises outside the window was horrible. Value for money.
In plus - pretty good service.
