Owner is better than AI., lol. Very good hostel owner. Kitchen well stocked. Place is cleaned regularly. Bed is comfy.
Everything is good really. Its a little further from the the Zócalo but gives me a few extra steps walking, exercise is good for you, and things are cheaper than in the Zócalo.

The apartment hostel style is nice because you have your own room with your party and although shared bathroom it always worked out
It wasn’t walking distance to shopping or food but cabs are fair

Everything was perfect - centrally located, quiet, comfortable bed, clean bathrooms, clean kitchen, coffee and creamer, utensils etc
The hostel manager even called a taxi for me to take me to the airport in the early hours.

The host is incredibly helpful with recommendations and things that you need during your stay. We have been back three times now during our exploration of Oaxaca state. The host even kept our big backpacks safe as we took a road trip for a few days. It’s a 15 minute walk from the town centre but we liked the distance and having a chance to walk the street helped us get to know the city better.
The bathroom didn’t smell great due to draining issues in the shower which the host tried to fix during our stay.

The owner is very nice and helpful.
The room wasn't cleaned before i showed up. Half drank cocoa cola bottle, dirty towel hanging in the closet, stuff under and behind the bed. Like very apparent things.

8.0 / 10.0
The beds were comfy and had a nice little kitchen and huge sturdy bag lockers. The owner is very nice. I checked in late at night and he was there waiting for me and was very helpful and kind. He also let me store my bags there past checkout while I was exploring Mitla for the day. The volunteers working there were great as well. Located on a quiet well-lit street near street food, restaurants, and a Sorianna grocery store.
It was a few blocks from Centro but still very easy to get to and find.

The host was amazing.
He offer towels and soap once you arrived.
And he is willing to help you with accommodation at a full season or arrange something for you.
And he try to give you the information you need.
The reason I booked the hostel is because of the host.

Close to the center, very clean, free coffee and water, terrace outside for smoking. But most of all, the kindness of Moises, the owner, which make you feel completely at home and it’s always available for sharing useful advices regarding Oaxaca. I strongly recommend it!

Very helpful host and a really cozy hostel. En suite kitchen. A good location about a 15 minute walk to the center of town and 5 minutes from combis to take you to Monte Alban for a good price. Wifi in the rooms was strong, and the lockers are very big.
No issues at all.

One of the best hosts I have encountered - Moises was very friendly and attentive, he provided all the information I needed, showed guests around the city - excellent hospitality! With the information given, I was able to visit Monte Alban and El Tule (the tree) by myself.
It’s a non party hostel and located a bit out of the centre, that’s why I liked it even more. Hot showers, equipped kitchen, clean and safe. Definitely recommended!

Trotamundo is run by the greatest guy ever. This man took so much time out of his own day to make sure that I was experiencing the city to the fullest. He genuinely cared and treated me like a friend. The first night I was there, he had us all try mezcal on the terrace and it was amazing. His insider info made it an absolute pleasure to be in Oaxaca and I got to see so much beyond the regular touristy stuff. I can't recommend the hostel and Moises enough!

Great host and great value, would stay again!
This hostel is still getting established and it would be nice to see some small improvements like art on the walls, reading lamps and outlets at each bed, etc. Still had a great stay here!

The place is very clean, the bed was comfortable.
All equipments needed for cooking were there.
The person working there was very amicable and made me feel at home. He also provided me with numerous useful tips about the city. Thank you again.
The place is about 10min walk from the center, and very quiet.

Moses is the nicest host ever. Speaks English, has lots of info about places to see, very accommodating. There are sturdy lockers, a kitchen, coffee and he can provide more utensils if you need them. 10 min walk from the center, next to a big supermarket. Mosquito nets. I shared the room with a German girl who was very quiet and polite so I slept like a baby.
Totally recommended. Que Dios te bendiga, Moses.

The owner, as everyone says, is one of the most professional and attentive hosts I've ever had. His family was having party in the afternoon, and he invited me and any guest at hostel to come eat and hang out. How cool is that? I didn't love that if someone wants coffee at 7am and your sleeping, it's made in the same room, but the beds are comfy and everything else was rad. Thank you for hosting me !

Excellent host, offered good suggestions on what to do while in Oaxaca and booked a couple of tours for me at a lower price than what others in the group had paid.
The location is good, 10-15min from the Zocalo and there's an Oxxo and a supermarket close by.
On the last day, I had a tour that lasted until 6pm and I was allowed to leave by bag behind, as well as use the facilities when I returned.
Overall a great experience.
Nothing.

I booked a dorm but there was no space and stayed in a privat room with do additional costs.
Internet, but that problem goes for whole Oaxaca
6.0 / 10.0
I have a problem giving rating this one 6.0, as I liked the place and the host. And I guess that not in the high season it's great. However...
I paid more than 1.000 mxn for 1 night at the shared room. This is way too much, even if there is dia de muertos and all hostels are booked. I paid less for 2 nights having a room only for myself in the same city, 2 days ealier.
