Hostal El Cielo

Good place. Needs some updates, for example some individual lamps and electric plugs near beads and better pillows. Chill atmosphere great service, the girls working there are amazing, super nice and welcoming. I totally recommend, plus great sharing spaces near the pool and bar

Don’t know why this place has such a good review… This place was under construction for our entire stay, lasting from 7:30am until 11pm, even on Saturday, which is not okay at all. Stuff is ignorant and unfriendly, doesn’t even look up from the computer when we were leaving the place. No good wifi in the rooms, only cold showers and poor restrooms for too many people. The only nice thing is the outdoor area, but you get eaten alive by all those mosquitoes… wouldn’t come again

The people are very nice. If you need anything they are very helpful. It's clean and safe.

I had an amazing stay in El Cielo.
Our original plan was staying only for 2 nights but me and my friends ended up staying for 7 days.
Very friendly staff,especially manager Dayana went beyond and above to make sure we have a nice stay.
Rooms were cozy and clean.
Beautiful swimming pool along with table tenis and darts was nice addition to our stay.
I would highly recommend everyone to stay here!!

Incredibly helpful, warm staff. Very responsive. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the overall vibe was fun but not too crazy. Dayana was especially helpful and had a wealth of information and advice about things to do in both the city and around the state of Oaxaca!

Pros:
-heated pool is fun
-bar is decently priced u0026 convenient
-cool little garden
-a few of the staff (the locals) were nice and friendly

Cons:
-my room was dirty upon arrival. There were hairs in the shower and hair trimmings on the sink.
-I got the room w/2 beds. One of them felt like something was broken? Good thing I only needed one since I was by myself.
-Some of the staff looked and acted like they’d rather be anywhere else.
-Had problems paying with card here u0026 had to pay cash (they’ve worked everywhere else u0026 haven’t had any problems using them at other places)
-Not good for remote working. No desk in room and the communal areas didn’t have enough outlets to charge.
-Terrace looks nowhere near as nice as it does in the photos

Overall: had a few pros but I wouldn’t stay here again.

General sidenote:
Don’t bother booking through Hostelworld: the up-charge is ridiculous. For the same price I ended up paying per night here, I could’ve booked a much nicer room elsewhere.

Ive been traveling through México for over a year now and this hostel by far Is my favourite out of every hostel ive been too. This place feels like home. The staff members aré all so pleasant. The vibes here aré absolute mágic. Everytime i come to Oaxaca city i end up at this beautiful place. I always recomend my friends to stay here and they tell me that this hostel Is their favourite. I have returned múltiple Times to el cielo. The pool here Is clean and fantástic. The kitchen Is clean and welcoming. The rooms aré comfortable with curtains and lockers. An absolute gem. If youre looking for a home away from home this Is the place to be.
