This hotel is amazing. The shower had nice hot water and the room was really cute. The overall atmosphere and concept of the hotel were wonderful, and I felt very comfortable every day. All the staff were so kind, and they even helped me plan my trip. When I come back to Oaxaca, I’ll definitely stay here again!

Niyana Hotel is a true hidden gem in the heart of Oaxaca a stunning eco-friendly boutique hotel built entirely from natural materials with a strong commitment to zero waste and environmental consciousness. The peaceful garden and terrace with amazing views creates a calm, grounding atmosphere, with herb garden, that feels like a retreat in the middle of the city. They host yoga sessions and enriching workshops on-site, including unforgettable kombucha and fermentation classes by Lauren, the founder of Yeliska, who also sells her amazing organic fermented, kombucha, ginger beer, and pickled vegetables and more amazing products here. The space is expanding with the upcoming launch of Diego’s store, featuring sustainable, local treasures like organic coffee beans, raw honey, honey comb, and much more. Niyana is a beautiful expression of what it means to live in harmony with nature and community highly recommended for anyone looking for authenticity and serenity in Oaxaca.

It is THE right hotel to be, in Oaxaca in my opinion. As the city has a really rich culture and identity, this place represents it in a such respectful and genuine way. By installing dry toilets first as water is an issue in town but also by honoring its beautiful art and culture with the architecture/design and events they organize on the charming rooftop. They also sell homemade products (drinks and cookies) and have a lovely authentic shop runned by a passionate man named Diego. The team also is really lovely and helpful. This place is an experience.

I stayed for about a week at Niyana and had an amazing experience. The place itself is filled with positive energy and lovely people. They have done a tremendous job in creating a wonderful, sustainable place that makes you feel like home away from home. The rooftop is perfect to just relax or practice Yoga, Meditation, or whatever suits you. Furthermore, they frequently offer different events like yoga classes, singing circles, etc. I had the honour of visiting a yoga sutra class with Andre. It was scheduled for 90 minutes but we ended up stretching it to several hours. A beautiful experience with a great teacher. I can highly recommend to give it a try. Thanks to the Niyana family for a wonderful stay 🫶🙏

I had the best experience at Niyana, from the friendly and easy communication to the beautiful room to the sanctuary of a space, I'm so glad I made the choice to stay here for my first time in Oaxaca City. The concierge texted me on WhatsApp the day before my arrival to make sure they knew when I was arriving and someone would be there to check me in. The Mazunte room was tucked away in a quiet little corner of the hotel and was beautifully designed. I often went out in the mornings to walk the city (location is just 4-5 blocks from the main pedestrian areas) and then came back to the relaxing courtyard space in the hottest part of the day to relax, enjoying the peacefulness. Everyone at reception was helpful with any questions I had, calling a taxi, etc. I've lived on homesteads with dry toilets before so that was not new for me—if it would be for you, give it a try! It saves so much water and they were great about changing it after a couple of days. Water pressure for shower was strong and water was nice and hot. Regarding noise, I often heard ambient noise in my room which is to be expected but it was very quiet compared to walking the streets. There was a strong fan in the room that I turned on at night and it completely drowned out any sounds. I am a light sleeper and sound sensitive and the quiet at Niyana is a main draw for staying there again.

Niyana is a beautiful hotel with a wonderful atmosphere and a strong focus on sustainability. We really appreciated their commitment to waste separation and eco-friendly practices. The communal areas are thoughtfully designed and create a relaxing space for guests. What truly stood out was the incredible care and support from the staff when our six-month-old son developed a fever. Even on a Sunday, they went out of their way to arrange a doctor’s appointment for us. We have rarely experienced such warmth and attentiveness in a hotel—truly exceptional hospitality!

Amazing eco-hostel with one of a kind staff who are so helpful and kind. The hotel has great ecological processes and recycling stations. I really liked also the cool authentic style & design. I was travelling Solo and they have single rooms which was nice too
