About

Ticuchi Hostal - Oaxaca

Ticuchi Hostal is an adults-only guesthouse in the Oaxaca Historic Centre district, about 400 metres from Labastida Park. The property has a simple, social vibe: guests gather around the outdoor pool, in the lounge with board games, or at the karaoke corner. A shared kitchen and picnic area make it easy to cook and hang out, while organised tours and daily activities help you see more of the city.

Rooms range from 6-, 8-, and 10-bed mixed dorms (all with bunk beds and a shower) to a standard double room with a bathtub. Free Wi-Fi covers the whole building, and the 24-hour reception means you can arrive at any hour. There's no private parking, but the central location puts most Oaxaca sights within walking distance.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Prime central location — Right in the Oaxaca Historic Centre, a short walk from bars, restaurants, and key sights. Guests repeatedly mention being able to walk everywhere.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — The team is consistently described as warm, welcoming, and eager to give local tips. One guest even received a free upgrade.
  • Comfortable and spacious rooms — Guests highlight the comfort of the beds and the size of the dorms, plus the convenience of in-room showers in shared facilities.
  • Great social atmosphere — With a pool, karaoke, table tennis, a lounge, and daily activities, it's easy to meet other travellers and have fun.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms for most rooms — All dormitory rooms have a shower, but the standard double room also shares a bathroom (though it includes a bathtub). If you want an en-suite, this isn't it.
  • No on-site parking — There's no private parking mentioned, so if you're driving, you'll need to find street parking or use a nearby lot.
  • Adults-only policy — This is strict – no kids. Great for a quiet getaway, but not an option if you're travelling with family.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — While reception is 24-hour, official check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:30. Late arrivals may need to coordinate.
