La Punta's prime location is arguably best experienced at Frutas y Verduras. We spent just over two weeks exploring every corner of this house, one of the first in the area. Despite the lively atmosphere of La Punta, Frutas y Verduras offers a peaceful retreat. The service was exceptional, thanks to the very kind and helpful staff. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The property boasts several relaxing spaces, from the swimming pool to the main terrace. Our favorite spot was the 'eagle nest' atop the building, offering a spectacular view of the beach and surf lineup. Breakfast was also a highlight, featuring a delightful selection of toasts, waffles, crepes, and more. We truly felt at home, and a heartfelt thanks goes out to the entire team.

The pictures show the reality! Everything looks new, the air-conditioning in the room was amazing, each bed has its own lamp, the staff is very welcoming and the location is in a quiet area that is close to the restaurants and the beaches. Thanks to Carlos and Luis for your help with the tips of where to go and what to do!

The lady who looked after the property was extremely helpful and lovely - she also made the best breakfast each morning, which was a great added extra. I think for the price it was great value for money within close walking distance to the shops and the beach.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a bus that was leaving at 8pm, we checked out at 12 and they let us leave our bags there until we got the bus, even offering the shower facilities before we left.

The hotel was exceptionally clean, large room, hot showers in shared bathroom which was always clean, safety was excellent, “location, location, location” a few blocks to everything! Excellent coffee, free, most of the day/evening. Roof top and side terraces were wonderful and great city views.

This is a very good basic hostel with private rooms. Clean bathrooms ? Kitchen.drinking water, and free coffee. Being of the older end of backpacker (70+) this place reminded me of the old YHA type accomodation

Nice and friendly staff (not english speaking but made use of translation apps) who let me wait when I arrived early and waiting for a night bus after check out. The hostel is very well located close to the main square within short walk of all the main sights. It feels very safe with a key issues to guests for the front door. The reception area has free coffee, water, biscuits and fruits for breakfast. The room was well appointed with hot water and wifi. Lovely roof terrace for relaxing in the evening too.

Cute and very clean little hostel. Friendly staff members. I felt safe as there was always someone around at the reception when I stayed there. And it was very quiet (I barely even saw other guests). The neighborhood is within walking distance of the main points of interest in town.

The best location you can have at Carrizalillo, just a few meters of the beach. Cheap and comfy for those who are traveling on a budget.

What's not to like! Comfy beds, best eggs for breakfast ever, great location near everything, well equipped kitchen and double rooms...but the staff take the cake though! Everyone is very friendly at this hostel, particularly the housekeeping staff. The value for money is unrivalled in the area and we feel very lucky to have found is gem in the Centro Oaxaca! Thanks for having us!

Interesting hostel with an excellent owner who is super friendly and helpful, the dorm room is constantly clean and there's a cute little terrace. Nice social vibe when I was there and free decent filter coffee in the mornings. I stayed a long while and it was a good cheap base for exploring Oaxaca state.

Great location, the included breakfast was tasty and ample, and I appreciated that while the hostel had a social/friendly atmosphere they respected quiet hours with a firm 11pm for the bar/music to shut down. I had booked a private room and found the bed comfortable and clean.
