  • Great place to stay the only minus is that the walls are not sound proof at all, you hear every conversation and vice versa. Saying this, it is a quiet place in general with the odd bit of drumming noise from next door. Pleasant place overall.

  • It´s a charming little hostel, it was an old house and they adapted well for travelers, its clean and it has everything you need, the only issue is the walls are extremely thin, first night i got up at 7 am because everyone was waking up and you can hear everyone outside your room and there was a water truck passing by the street .second night they move us to a room close to the kitchen and the noise was worst,, if you want to meet people and san cristobal it a great place to stay.

  • Excellent place!! Guillermo is a great host and takes care really well of the hostel. The rustic architecture of the hostel gives a special touch. The rooms are great, really confortable and well furnished, we were able to unpack everything and organize it on the shelfs. The breakfast is really good, specially their home made jam. The central area, where there is same tables, benchs and the such, is a good place for meeting people and having common dinners. I do recommend this place!

  • A friendly, homey hostel in a really central part of Oaxaca. Even though we arrived late at night, someone waited up and welcomed us in. The food was awesome, and the staff so friendly and accomodating! Wonderful!

Practically, Barcelona is a pretty easy city to navigate on foot or by public transport with a well laid-out grid system for the streets and a simple metro system. Here's an example of what you can do with 24 hours and a T10 (10 journey) metro ticket.
