Mixed experience

I stayed a few nights at Viajero Oaxaca and unfortunately had a mixed experience. The hostel itself is nice, with good facilities and a welcoming atmosphere, but my stay was negatively affected by the behavior of some people in my dorm. The men I was sharing with were extremely unhygienic, leaving dirty tissues and pizza boxes around, and one returned late at night swearing loudly, which was unsettling and made it hard to relax. There was also quite a lot of noise from nearby construction, which added to the disturbance. The staff were helpful when I asked to change rooms, and I appreciated their support, but I feel more could have been done to address the disruptive behavior of certain guests, as I later learned other women felt uncomfortable too. It’s a shame because the hostel itself has a lot of potential, and with better management of these situations, it could offer a much more enjoyable experience.

Mi segunda experiencia en hostales, y solo deseo que haya un VIAJERO en cada ciudad que visite en el futuro. La atención, la amabilidad, la atmósfera del lugar que hacen todas las personas ahí, lo hacen tener una excelente experiencia.

The hostel was really good and well located. We stayed there only one day (Monday) and we had a good pleasant stay. The only downside is the check in time which is quite late (3pm) but nothing that would affect my review. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable and with everything we needed. Location was great within walkable distance to the main square

Great staff, I booked via Expedia for 6 adults and 2 children ages 14 and 15, Expedia didn’t notify me that this Hostel only have guest 18 and older. When we got to the hostel after walking under the heavy rain with our heavy luggage, we were notified they don’t take people under 18 yrs of age. (Sounds like Expedia didn’t notify them of my two kids), we made a few calls to other hotels but everything was booked (we were in Oaxaca during busy celebrations), there was no where to go, we were wet, tired, hungry frustrated and scared, but thankfully Viajero Hostel staff made accommodations so we all could stay in one room including my teenage kids, with the condition that parents must stay with kids at all times and no drinking; well that was a no brainer! So we stayed the two nights I had booked. The room was clean, clean comfortable bunk beds with your own privacy, the place is great. Want to thank the staff. Expedia please update age limit and phone number to contact property! The only down side it’s wifi and phone signal were not great and towels not included, they cost it cost you 60 pesos fee per towel. Viajero Hostel thank you for help.

We loved this hostel, it was so clean & pretty. They had a nice rooftop / bar area and allowed us to travel with our dogs for a small surcharge, that is why we picked this hotel.
