The location is a little away from the center, but thanks to that, the area is very peaceful and quiet. Since there isn’t a sign in front of the hostel, it’s best to mark it on the map before arriving. The room was equipped with a desk, two chairs, and drawers, which made it easy to store our belongings. There is also a kitchen available, so we were able to cook simple meals, which was very convenient. The shower water pressure was a bit weak, but we appreciated that there was always hot water.

The only thing we struggled with was finding it initially, but given that this was all new to us, it’s understandable. Learning how to read addresses and find street signs was challenging, but not the owners fault. He was actually very helpful guiding us in. Also, having to get out and unlock the gates and re lock them, did have us wishing an electronic option was there instead, keep fob or something. But again, not owners fault, AND it’s nice to have the security.

We loved the artistic vibe and incredibly friendly host. Arturo was helpful with booking adjustments we needed to make as well. It’s nice to be in a home as opposed to a hotel, and being that we really just needed somewhere to sleep and shower, renting a whole house wasn’t necessary. The location was convenient, walking distance to many many places to eat and shop, even to the Santo Domingo de Guzman Temple. Well worth it, and would recommend to anyone.

Great location close to the city centre, friendly host and nice, clean room. Calm neighbourhood and good shower.

- since you are sharing the house with the owners, sometimes you have a feeling that you might be unnecessary intruding into their space, especially in the kitchen area - the check in/out hours are misleading(you physically cannot have them the same), my room was only ready by 2pm, which was ok for me

- the terrace is great - owners are really nice, hospitable, and friendly people

Great location and lovely house. We were 10 min walk from the centre and it was a very peaceful stay. The people running it were very helpful also and organised tours for us

it was nice and quiet it made me think that maybe the people there were only renting to me because they did not cause any noise. It felt like my own place and kitchen

Location was not in center but was really not a problem. About 15 minute walk to stores, plazas and more.

Very friendly staff that helped us out with finding bus trips, activities, food places and more. Really nice little family accommodation which has everything you really need.

Some street noise but I just closed my window and turned fan on.

Place was close to many interesting sights. Very walkable. Hosts were friendly and available. Had shared kitchen and some creature comforts like streaming and wi-fi. I had a private bathroom which I prefer . I think there was a shared bathroom for the other rooms. Clean drinking water in kitchen.

Everything was WONDERFUL!

My friend and I stayed here for a week, and we both LOVED it! It's PERFECTLY located—on this beautiful alley next to the aqueduct and not far from loads of restaurants and cafes. The place is INCREDIBLY clean and comfortable. Our room was clean and large, and it has lots of storage space. The bed was very comfortable. Two rooms share a bathroom. The area is very quiet. There's a lovely rooftop terrace and a terrific kitchen with a stove, lots of pots and pans, and a coffeemaker. Azael and Arturo are great hosts.

I loved everything about this place!

Casa Los Arcos is a gem of a guesthouse located down a charming alley next to the aqueduct in the historic center. It’s PERFECT for solo female travelers or those traveling on a budget—it’s safe, quiet, clean, comfortable, and convenient. You can walk to and from the Zocalo and lots of restaurants safely in the evening. There’s a fabulous rooftop terrace with a hammock and chairs—you get a nice breeze and the WiFi works as well. There’s also a fully stocked and clean kitchen. It’s also PERFECT for those who want to stay long term and need to work online—great WiFi and very quiet. Azael and Arturo are kind and helpful hosts. I’ve stayed here many times and I always stay here every time I’m in Oaxaca.

We liked it all!

Super clean, lovely area, the host family is so helpful and friendly! Staying here made our time in Oaxaca perfect. The roof terrace was a lovely place to relax after a long warm day.

Amazingly good value in one of the prettiest areas of oaxaca. A 15 min stroll to the zocola in a very safe but quiet area with lots of nice cafes, restaurants and shops. The host is very friendly and the place feels like a real home. There’s a lovely roof terrace and a nice kitchen where you can make coffee, breakfast or even cook dinner. I shared a bathroom with one other room but it was never busy or crowded. I extended my stay twice and would definitely stay here again.
