10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, an eight-block area around the hotel had lost power majority of the day. The team handled the situation amazing hospitality despite not being able to control the power situation: they treated us to a tlayuda (like a Mexican pizza and quesadilla combined) and welcome drink, carried our bags upstairs, and the bar manager even arranged a mezcal tasting. The hotel itself was spotless, fresh, and updated. I loved the colors and decor in the rooms. The staff spoke English, and they were patient and friendly when we tried out our Spanish. They also arranged taxis whenever we asked and shared helpful recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The location is excellent, just about a five-minute walk from the city center, with plenty nearby. One small suggestion: it would be nice to have a few more toiletry amenities in the room, such as a shower cap, toothpaste and cotton swabs. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend Luuna de Jade to friends. The team made a challenging arrival feel welcoming, and the hotel was a lovely place to stay."

Casa 1800 Oaxaca Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Casa 1800 Oaxaca is one of those places that is even better in person than it looks in the photos—and that says a lot, because the photos are beautiful. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Oaxaca, making it incredibly easy to walk everywhere and enjoy the city. But what really makes this hotel special is the atmosphere. The architecture, decoration, colors, details, and beautiful spaces create a perfect mix of Oaxaca’s character with an elegant, sophisticated feel. Every corner seems thoughtfully designed. The service was exceptional. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever being intrusive. You immediately feel that the staff cares about making your stay a great experience. And a special recommendation: book the Carmen room. It is absolutely worth it. The room has a wonderful character and is the kind of space that makes you want to spend a little extra time enjoying the hotel rather than simply using it as a place to sleep. Honestly, the photos do not do Casa 1800 Oaxaca justice. You have to see it, walk through it, and experience it to appreciate how beautiful and special it really is. A fantastic stay and, without hesitation, a hotel I would happily return to on my next visit to Oaxaca."
