Nice interior design, impeccably clean, mellow and very friendly owner. Green and well kept courtyard. At first we were a little bit intimidated by the windowless room (chocolate room) but really it was not a problem - you can open the door to the courtyard if you want daylight and maybe the room stays cooler in this climate without the...

I chose this hostal from the vibe and image that appears on their website.. it was just as it looked! Super mellow, very friendly and very beautiful space.. i stayed as a single woman in the mixed/co-ed dorm room with about 4 other guys and felt totally safe,, everyone is just doing their own thing, but it also feels like...

Going to Oaxaca I followed TripAdvisor rating for the choice of hotel, as I usually do. We were looking for something nice for a long weekend, so we went to see Casa del Sol becuase it's rated #2 out of 107. But we found out that it is not a hotel at all, more like a b&b or a youth... More

This was probably the best hostel we saw in Mexico. The staff is super friendly and helpful, breakfast is great, rooms are spacious and bathrooms are extremely clean. It's location allows you to explore the city by foot and to come back when you're tired to rest in the hostel's beautiful courtyard. We felt at home immediately and I'd recommend... More

This is one of the most charming hotels I have ever stayed in. Right from the moment we entered through the big wooden doors I knew that I'd made the right choice. The courtyard in the center has enough room for everyone to sit and enjoy the sun. It's a place you look forward to going back to at the... More

After checking out a lot of hostels and hotels around Oaxaca we picked this one. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, and nice and clean. Some of the private rooms have bathrooms and some don't. But the shared bathrooms are the nicest I've seen in a hostel ever so it doesn't matter that much. The hostel is within an easy... More

My friend was sadly a little ill when we arrived. The staff especially Guillermo the proprieter were very helpful in making sure he was being looked after. The location is close enougf to everything but far enougf to be quiet. The community breakfast albeit simple was fine and a great place to compare notes with other travelers. I would stay... More

Overall Casa del Sol is good place to stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location whilst a little out of the way is central enough. The room was clean. The breakfast was sufficient. My only real complaint is there weren't enough showers/toilets for the rooms with shared facilities.

This hostal is in a great location, about 2 blocks from Santo Domingo church. In typical a Mexican building, the rooms centre around a lovely courtyard where breakfast is also served. Coffee/tea, toast, fruit and cereal is on offer. We had a private room which was connected to the dorm but not ensuite. The female shared bathroom was kept very... More
