Casa 1800 Oaxaca Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Location location location! Casa 1800 is in a great location close to almost everything! We absolutely loved our stay. The staff was extremely helpful from booking taxis to leaving our room exceptionally cleaned every day. And the bed was so comfortable— a very welcomed comfort after a long day (& night) on our feet! Thank you for making our stay in Oaxaca an excellent one!"
