Casa Ángel

Top choice in Oaxaca City


Deservedly popular, this 'boutique' hostel is run by a friendly, helpful young team and kept scrupulously clean. Rooms are thoughtfully designed and the bright common areas include a good kitchen, a plasma screen with Netflix, and a great roof terrace with a barbecue every Sunday.

Some of the 'superior' dorms have their own little terraces, and the standard dorms (two of them women only) have good solid bunks with private reading lights. The newer 'deluxe' dorms are capsule-style, with curtained, comfy, wood-paneled bunks equipped with their own air-con, electrical plugs and USB chargers. There's plenty of local info on offer too.
