“A hidden gem in Oaxaca”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2011

La Villada is in a tranquil setting high above Oaxaca. Because of this it can be hard to find, as there's a maze of roads that wind up into the hills from the city below; but you can park, free, once you get there. The inn is classed as a hostel on some web sites and has mixed accommodation. We stayed in a private room with en suite shower, which was basic but comfortable, clean, and spacious. They also have a dormitory with shared facilities. There's a dining room, although most people ate by the pool, and traditional Mexican food and drink is available all day - the food is very good and we enjoyed everything we had. The swimming pool is a big plus, as it was hot when we were there in May. There's also a bar, but unfortunately it was only open at weekends and we were there mid-week. Another great thing about La Villada is the cost. We paid less that $50 per night for a double room, and the food/drink was also very reasonable. This was in strong contrast to B&Bs in the city that were asking well over $100 per night. All of this, plus the helpful, welcoming staff, a parrot that loves to be stroked and a friendly dog called Miel, makes La Villada a relaxing retreat in Oaxaca that's also great value.

Room Tip: I would recommend a private room in the 'new' block. The fittings are modern and less rustic...

“An amazing resort that is actually a hostel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 3, 2011

I have been to La Villada Inn twice - once alone and once with a friend - and I can't wait to go back. Like the other reviews state, this place is not only comfortable and beautiful but the family that runs it is warm and hospitable. Both times I stayed I had a private room so I can't really speak to the dorm/hostel vibe but I certainly met great people in the dining/bar area. Again, the family that runs the place is amazing. When I was their the first time (during Day of the Dead) a group of us went out with one of the sons for a great and raucous night on the town - truly a memorable experience. Some may scoff at the distance from the main part of town, but it truly is a treat to stay in this mountain retreat, and in all honesty it's not that far away and is perfectly accessible by bus. I can't say enough about this place! Love La Villada Inn.

Room Tip: Try to contact the operators directly - esp. if you need a single. They have a FB page too.

“Do stay here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2011

My husband and myself and our 8 year old son stayed here in July, initially we were booked in for 2 nights but stayed for 4 as we just didn't want to leave. Julietta and her brothers are the most helpful and friendly hosts and their children are adorable. I can't fault this place, it is a short taxi ride into town but this never bothered us. It is very nice to be up in the hills and the view really makes it. Our son loved the pool. Our room was nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable, we had a terrace and a view of the hills right from our room. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend La Villada Inn.

Room Tip: All the rooms are well appointed.

“nice hotel, but bad location and cold in winter”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2011

Very nice hostel once you are there.

The access is very complicated (on a hill with a lot of a little street).
There is a parking on site, and by car you need 15mn to go in the centre.

In exchange for the bad location, the hostel is very welcoming, spacious and pleasing.
Too much cold in the night during december, the rooms are badly isolated and extra covers were needed.
Internet not available from all the rooms.
Not very clean, and the shower was a bit rusty.
Still a good experiences :)

“Excellent choice away from the Centro”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2010

Very peaceful location with great views above the city. The property is well-maintained and comfortable. If you want to get away from the city center, this is a good choice. Bilingual owners are very helpful. Good food, WIFI, limited hot water so be quick. Secure parking if you have a car. The pool looked nice, and I'm sure it's great to have during the summer. 50-60 peso taxi to the Centro. Take the map with you if you go into town- it would be difficult to explain to the taxi drivers.
