About

AGE RESTRICTION: 18+ / ADULTS ONLY!
We love children and know that they need protection. The hostels layout is not adequate for children as there are galleries without handrails, chemicals at the pool and drinking games at the bar. That's why we are happy to host anybody 18+.

IDENTIFICATION
Each guest is required to show their passport or national ID document upon check-in.

ANIMAL FRIENDLY
There are cats on the property, and guests may be allowed to bring pets.

We are situated in an authentic Mexican neighborhood with best swimming beaches in town nearby.

Tower Bridge Hostel is a beautiful oasis that has the amenities and charm of a small resort.
We are not in the very touristy zone of Puerto Escondido, but have a lot of exciting and reasonably priced activities to offer. If you are looking for the authentic Puerto Escondido you will find it here!
The area is very quiet and safe at night. Our location is right between the city center and Puerto Escondido's only three safe swimming beaches. Playa Carizalillo, Playa Coral and Playa Manzanillo can be reached in 12-20 minute walks from the hostel.
Playa Carizalillo is suited also well for surfers at beginners and advanced levels, we are happy to help you with board rentals and surf lessons. The romantic bay is as well the perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling. It's perfect for anybody who's after a relaxed Mexican beach atmosphere with crystal clear water and nice little local food places.

Rich and Cheap Food
The local Benito Juarez Market with its lively Mexican atmosphere is just 850 meters (10 minutes) up the road. It offers authentic Mexican food and freshly made juices as well as flowers, handicrafts and souvenirs.
The perfect shopping place for people on a small budget or on self-catering holidays!
There is a cozy restaurant on the hostel's property. Around the hostel there's a variety of very good cheap restaurants, cafes and taco places (5 for 70 pesos!). The prices are significantly lower than on the touristy Zicatela beach.

Social Melting Pot
The hostel's goal is to provide an environment where people from all over the world can get together, have a great time and share their travel experiences. Therefore the hostel is designed to be a social meeting point and offers a wide variety of amenities for your entertainment. These include a large barbecue area, games area with pool table, foosball table and a wheel of fortune at the bar. Our poolside bar serves hand shaken cocktails for a backpacker's budget.
The property is completely landscaped including a large free form swimming pool surrounded by a rock garden and colorful native tropical trees and plants, which all adds to the feel of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Extras provided: WiFi via Starlink, free outside parking, in all dorms there are power outlets in the lockers and USB contacts are installed at each bed with mini fans (reading lights available for 50 pesos), bar, public kitchen, towels, linen, different tours available. There is a quaint restaurant on the property for breakfast and BBQ/pizza on Sundays.

A really great place to stay, location nice close to Centro and a really great vibe as well. Staff were very accommodating and helpful when we had to change our plans unexpectedly. Would stay again!

Booked three nights, ended up staying a week. Spotlessly clean, super‑cozy space, and the friendliest hosts who made everything effortless. 11/10 all the way

I liked it. Room was clean and the pool also! The athmosphere was okay. If you want to socialize you can. Unfortunately we booked a tour and we couldn’t participate because of a mistake. But the staff was super friendly and we found a compromise (we also got the money back of course). All in all a good stay.
