Review of the International Andaina Hostel in Oaxaca, Mexico, based on my stay in January 2021
I stayed here in December for 3 nights before I went to Zipolite and am now back again for an unknown time.
Why is the Andaina the best place for long-term travellers and anyone else on a low budget to stay in Oaxaca?
During the Coronavirus pandemic, dorm rooms are no longer the way to go. I have stayed healthy all this time and I am keen to continue this trend.
And as a long term traveller, now of no fixed abode and no regular income, I need to be selective in where I stay.
The Andaina has all the facilities any good hostel should have yet here they offer single rooms at dorm room prices, even lower when you want to stay for a week or more!
My room:
My room, one of 9 similar sized rooms on the 3rd floor (bless this mess):

There is a kitchen too but despite my good intentions, I didn't use it.

It's a great place to set up shop for a while. The pandemic has played havoc with our plans and the new modus operandi is travelling slow.
The Andaina is in a great location too.
