Selina Oaxaca

We had an incredible stay at Selina in Oaxaca! The room was comfortable, and the atmosphere and views from the roof were lovely. The central location made exploring the city a breeze. David at the reception was friendly and incredibly helpful, providing fantastic recommendations for the Christmas period. I highly recommend Selina to anyone visiting Oaxaca!

Not a good experience...the "security guard" is completely unhinged - absolutely mad behaviours by said individual. At around 11pm the night of my arrival, he came galloping over to me at a workspace as if I was implementing a global meltdown and frantically started relocating me to another place. The following morning I was up at 6:45am and minding my own business when my phone for literally seconds started playing a YouTube video full volume. Within a few more seconds before I could mute it, the same guy comes charging over (it's not that early....almost 7am in a hostel?) and literally looses his mind! I've nevrr experienced behaviours like this by staff...this guy in particular treats the place like it's his own personal echo chamber and that it's a privilege for you to be there! Aside from the above, the place is really nice, so the latter is a shame and the desk staff were friendly. The room, however, had no windows and though fine, wasn't as good as other Selinas.

The hotel has a great location, one block from the main pedestrian street. The rooftop bar has a great view and you can meet people from around the world, yes around the world, I had the opportunity to meet people from Madrid, Switzerland, and London. I arrive early to the hotel and they were able to save my backpack. They have lockers in case that you have your lock if not they can sell you one. The staff so friendly, the security guard open the door and was really friendly. I had to work one day and I reserved the office to work. And trust me the internet is really fast. Definitely, I'll stay again. Thank you Selina. P.d. as a guest, they give you a bracelet, i still have it the design is so cute 😜

I've stayed at other Selina's all across LATAM and generally have a good experience because I know they will have a restaurant, bar, games, cowork, good vibes, etc. This is unfortunately the smallest Selina I have come across by far. It is beyond loud, both from the street and from being able to hear the music and people within the Selina because of how it's set up. It is extremely bare bones. The communal kitchen is barely big enough for two people to be in and doesn't have much to offer. The cowork is also a small room with a bunch of desks shoved in it. There's no pool, no movie room, no library, the rooftop bar was closed for construction. I got food poisoning from a chicken sandwich at the restaurant. The staff was kind and did their job. The rooms were clean. If that's all you're looking for then this may be fine for you, but I generally expect a lot more from my Selina experience. And as mentioned it was very loud with tour buses constantly going by, music from the bars, etc.

Do not stay in this hotel. They sell your personal information to the criminals so they can blackmail you and get money out of it. They take zero care with your personal data, the past few days there was a case of some tourists that where virtually kidnapped and the hotel didn't respond, even though criminals had all the data of this clients, names, room numbers, etc. Ve very careful and DO NOT STAY HERE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
