When discussing travel in Mexico, Oaxaca is often high up on the list of must-visit cities. There is an abundance of culture, cuisine, and exciting activities that the city has to offer. However, when it comes to accommodation, there is often a debate on the best option. One of the most popular options is to stay in hostels, and here are a few reasons why you should choose them when travelling to Oaxaca.

First of all, hostels are far more affordable than traditional hotels. This makes them ideal for budget travellers as you can save money on accommodation and have more to spend on sightseeing. They are an excellent way to explore the city on a shoestring budget and make the most of your time in Oaxaca.

Another great thing about staying in hostels is the social aspect. Staying in a hostel encourages you to meet the other travellers and make friends from all around the world. This is a fantastic way to get to know the city and gain insight into the culture from an insider's perspective.

Hostels usually have plenty of activities on offer, too. From walking tours to cooking classes, there is something for everyone and it can really help to enhance your travel experience in Oaxaca. Many hostels also offer discounts or special rates on attractions and activities, which is another great way to save money.

And finally, hostels are usually much more central than traditional hotels, making it easier to get around and explore different parts of the city. This is especially beneficial if you only have a few days to explore Oaxaca. Being based in the city centre also gives you easy access to public transportation and all the major attractions.

It's easy to see why hostels are a popular choice for those travelling to Oaxaca. They are affordable, social, and located in the heart of the city, making them the best way to take in the sights and sounds of this Mexican city.
