I wanted to update my review of two or three years ago. The Learning Center is a much better place to stay now. Many of the students who use to mill around the courtyard and occupy the chairs and hammocks have been move around the corner. The school has expanded to a second location. This changes the whole experience of... More

Stayed in the apartment for 4 nights. The apartment is on top of the school and is very private, secure, and pleasant to spend time in. The apartment is tastefully decorated, has a well supplied kitchen, and feels spacious. Outside of the apartment you have access to a sunny rooftop cactus garden that is nice to read a book or...

I have returned to this lovely learning center several times- the room, breakfasts and company are delightful. It's not for those who want absolute peace & quiet- it is a center where young people (basically teens) who are smarter and more dedicated than most of the students I have taught for 30 years come daily to make a difference in...

The great thing about The Learning Center in Oaxaca - aside from it's comfortable rooms, personal service, friendly staff and homemade granola & yogurt - is that it provides you the opportunity to be a part of, and give back to, the local community. We stayed there for a week, enjoyed talking to the owner, students, and employees; had the... More

Clean and comfortable rooms and a lovely garden with hammocks. Fresh fruit in the morning and very helpful people. I would definitely recommend this place, they use the money you pay for the room (i think it was about 500 pesos for the double) for the learning centre. More

I spent nearly two weeks at the bed and breakfast of The Oaxaca Learning Center (TOLC) in April 2011 and it was, hands down, the best vacation of my life. Oaxaca is a beautiful city, and there are many points of interest for a tourist. The center is located in the northeast part of the historic district, near enough to... More

I just spent 2 weeks at TOLC in one of the B&B rooms, the first week on my own and the second with my husband. I loved it and would return in a heartbeat. I agree with all of the glowing reviews below - warm, comfortable, friendly. Gary, the owner is wonderful and I enjoyed many interesting conversations over the... More

We stayed in the apartment above the Oaxaca Learning Center for 9 weeks. You can find out more about the center on the website. We initially decided to stay there because we were impressed with the mission statement however, we did not anticipate how much we would enjoy the apartment. We loved coming back to our apartment after a day... More

This is a charminng B&B a few blocks from the zocala and the center of Oaxacan activity. For two non-Spanish speaking, independent travelers, it was a real oasis. Gary, our host , is a transplanted American who has spent 18 years in Mexico. He welcomed us warmly and was helpful with suggestions and ideas for things to see and do.... More
