If I could give 10 stars I would: This is THE perfect spot to stay in Oaxaca: it is slightly removed from the business of downtown Oaxaca allowing it to offer a chill private relaxed space. This allowed us to feel comfortable hanging out in their Nido (nest) area with our computers to do some work, or go upstairs and do some yoga in the mornings. But it’s close enough to the center to be in walking distance from everything. The staff is absolutely amazing. So so helpful. So sweet & friendly & able to recommend the best places to go. Their open kitchen has such a cute cafe vibe and made me want to hang out every morning. This is where they have amazing local products for sale too! They were all fabulous (from probiotic drinks - delicious and needed in Mexico! - to local and natural lotions, corn cookies, soaps and more!) I love that the whole place is built based on their eco values - from dry toilets to the way the floor is made to absorb water to the walls made of sustainable materials and all of their baskets to support recycling! Brilliant and this is what hooked me But honestly the best part is the decor. This whole place is stunning! Every room represents a different part of Oaxaca and so is designed with the fabrics, wood, artesanal products & vibe of each area! They are gorgeous! The Nest area with its little pool of fishes and petate ceiling is gorgeous. All of the beautiful plants everything just everything is picturesque and selfie worthy! Probably my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at I highly recommend!

Theres no service unless you personally ask for cleaning due to their concept of being eco friendly. Your allowed to use thier common amenities however, I was charged for an item that I was not informed of not being able to use and charged over price without being informed or warn about. Would not come back again or recommend.

I enjoyed my stay at Niyana. They have made a really lovely space set back from the busy streets. The care and attention to their environmental impact was amazing. I liked that the property had a roof terrace so you could sit in the sun and read / bathe. It felt very safe and secure and was a good location to be able to walk to lots of great places. One of the best parts of the stay was the helpfulness of the staff they were super responsive to messages on whatsapp and helped us book a private tour - very much appreciated. I think a couple of purchasable kitchen items would have been nice e.g tea, coffee, refreshments, snacks. It would have been nice if there was a mini bar fridge or something where you could buy drinks. Our room and bed was a little small for 2 people and 2 massive suitcases but we managed ok. A nice touch would be a few sunloungers for the terrace.

We booked Niyana but got stuck in Mexico City and did not make it to Oaxaca at all. Communication with the staff was great even upfront, they were incredibly kind and understanding, and cancelled my reservation even though they didn’t have to. I will make sure to stay with them if I get a second chance, because even this experience was one of a kind. You can tell, they take care of their guests very thoroughly. Thank you so much again!

It’s a beautiful designed place, the rooms but also the common areas. I don’t think the pictures do the place justice - it’s even better! I loved that they celebrate the different cultures and tradition Oaxaca has to offer and that they take care of the environment. Perfect example how luxury and sustainability can go together. Also the people working here are super nice and easy reachable for questions through WhatsApp but also real life. Would recommend to go here if you’re in Oaxaca city. Ps: if you do, please do yourself a favour and visit Onno Panderia a couple of hundred meters to the centre. Best pastry of my life.

What a beautiful hotel. Loved my stay. ✅Staff was the best! Always helping with questions or sending recommendations. ✅My room was small but had nice decoration, every single detail taken care of. ✅Loved their own shower gel/shampoo - it smelled delicious. The Wifi connection was strong. ✅Rooftop terrace where I did Yoga every 2nd morning. It was quiet but still central. ✅many nice conversations with other guests and staff :-) You guys rock!! ✅Free water ✅Eco-sustainable efforts. ✅I got a discount for my extended stay. Ended up booking 5 nights. ✅I liked the dry toilet, the separation of trash, them creating their own products (fermented juices). ✅Storage space in the room was fantastic for backpacking Suggestions: ❎It was advertised as a hostel but it was not a sociable place, there were only a few guests staying and so not many people to chat to. That was a bummer as I travel by myself and love connecting with others. ❎Single room as well as bathroom were quiet small but ok for 1 person ❎Some kitchen equipment was really old or dirty and didn't look very inviting to use. ❎Hanger for towel in bathroom June 2023 If you find this feedback useful, please click the helpful button so I can add similar content in future reviews.
