Iguana Hostel Oaxaca, hotel in Oaxaca City

Iguana Hostel Oaxaca features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Oaxaca City.

Sharing in a dorm but without bunk beds, and a privacy sheets between was a great alternative to the traditional hostel bed experience. They foster a very social environment with regular activities that most guests wish to engage in. Gorgeous rooftop for the bar and to hangout on. Excellent location to Centro and the bus station.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Everything! Comfy bed, personal fan, AC at night, even got an extra pillow if you needed it. Very social hostel, something on every day and night if you'd like to join in. Great location that is quiet but only a few minutes walk to the centre. Loved the rooftop for a drink or just chill, great view.

    One of my fave hostels I’ve stayed at. Staff were so friendly. Plenty of opportunities to take part in social activities run through the hostel. Great location. Lovely upstairs bar. Clean environment. Bunk beds have curtains allowing for privacy. Overall a wonderful stay.

    It’s in a great location just a 4min walk away from the central bus station and 10-15min walk from the center. I felt really safe all the time. The staff were really friendly and helpful and they plan activities most days of the week, so it’s great to meet new people. The facilities are very nice and clean.

    Great location, a few blocks from the centre, but do not walk around after 11/12pm, good to ask for a taxi number at the reception and use it even for a short ride if coming back late at night. Staff is very helpful and attentive, pays attention to safety. Nice, basic rooftop to chill. Great choice for travelers looking for private suite that like peace and quiet. It’s not a hostel if one’s looking some social interactions.
