Frequently asked questions about hostels in Oaxaca

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    For budget-conscious travellers, Oaxaca City itself offers plenty. Exploring the Zócalo (main square), wandering through the Mercado Benito Juárez (a vibrant market with delicious and cheap eats), and visiting the Santo Domingo Cultural Centre (with its impressive architecture and museums, some of which have free admission days) are all fantastic and inexpensive options. Hiking up to Monte Albán, an ancient Zapotec city, is also relatively affordable, especially if you take a colectivo (shared taxi) instead of a tour.
  • What are the best hostels in Oaxaca?

    Among the hostels in Oaxaca, Casa Losodeli & Coworking- Adults Only, Azul Cielo Hostel and Iguana Hostel Oaxaca are the most popular ones.

  • What are some unmissable, lesser-known spots in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Many visitors miss the smaller villages surrounding Oaxaca City. Consider a day trip to Hierve el Agua, with its petrified waterfalls and stunning views. Alternatively, explore the charming town of Teotitlán del Valle, renowned for its hand-woven rugs, or visit the impressive Tlacolula Market, a more authentic and less touristy market experience than the one in Oaxaca City.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Oaxaca?

  • What fun and budget-friendly events or festivals are happening in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    The Guelaguetza, a major indigenous festival held in July, is a vibrant spectacle, but tickets can be pricey. However, smaller, local celebrations throughout the year are often free or very inexpensive to attend. Look out for Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations in early November, which are incredibly moving and atmospheric, and various village fiestas throughout the year which often involve music, dancing, and delicious food.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Oaxaca?

  • What are the best nightlife spots in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Oaxaca's nightlife is diverse. La Mezcaloteca offers a sophisticated atmosphere with a wide selection of mezcal, while the bars around the Zócalo are great for people-watching. For a more lively atmosphere, check out some of the smaller bars and cantinas in the Jalatlaco neighbourhood. Remember to always be aware of your surroundings and take necessary safety precautions when exploring nightlife.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Oaxaca?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Oaxaca are Hostal Nordés, Casa De Don Pablo Hostel and Hostal De Las Américas.

  • What’s the ideal length of stay to get a full experience of Oaxaca, Mexico?

    A week allows for a good exploration of Oaxaca City and its immediate surroundings. However, to fully appreciate the state's diversity, including the coast and the mountains, two weeks would be ideal. A longer stay allows for more in-depth exploration of smaller towns and villages.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Oaxaca?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Oaxaca are Iguana Hostel Oaxaca, 4 Bunk Beds W/pool On Downtown Oaxaca and Tower Bridge Hostel.

  • Does Oaxaca, Mexico offer any iconic natural events?

  • How can you dive deeper into the culture and connect with locals in Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Taking a Spanish class is a great way to interact with locals. Staying in a smaller, family-run hotel or guesthouse rather than a large chain hotel offers more opportunities for interaction. Visiting local markets, attending community events, and simply taking the time to chat with people you meet (even with basic Spanish phrases) will help you connect with the culture and community.
  • Which restaurants and bars in Oaxaca, Mexico offer the best local cuisine?

    Oaxaca boasts incredible culinary diversity. For traditional Oaxacan dishes, try restaurants like Los Danzantes or Pitiona. For a more casual experience, explore the many smaller eateries in the markets. Remember to try the local mole, tlayudas, and chapulines (grasshoppers).
  • What unique packing tips should you keep in mind for Oaxaca, Mexico?

    Pack comfortable walking shoes, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking. Layers are recommended, as temperatures can fluctuate. Sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent are essential, especially during the hotter months. A reusable water bottle is a good idea, as tap water isn't always safe to drink.
