Great location within walking distance to great restaurants and shops. The staff were super helpful and nice. It was especially helpful having the nice breakfast which could be organised to be ready before we went on our day trip.

Lovely small boutique hotel in downtown Oaxaca
Pros:

Location is good in downtown Oaxaca, a 10-15 minutes walk from every place you want to visit. It is safe and comfortable. It is a small boutique hotel with only 5 rooms. Staff is on site till 10 pm and they are incredibly friendly and helpful. Standard interaction channel is WhatsApp and if you contact them they respond within a minute and if you need them they will come right away to your room to help you. You select the breakfast from a menu the day before and it is served at the time of your choice in the patio. The ladies preparing and serving it were fantastic and the breakfast was good. We mostly interacted with Jay who helped us with a lot of suggestions and explanation about Oaxaca. We really liked talking with him and with the other guests we met at breakfast

Pros:

The communication was smooth and clear. Info regarding arrival from the airport was well communicated. Staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Room was pretty. Large enough and comfortable bed. Smart tv for when it was raining. You can get tea/coffee/drinks at the property. They also had a minibar with few complimentary drinks. We had the breakfast included which was sumptuous. We could store our luggage at their lockers after checkout. We got a taxi booked from the reception which appeared right in front of the door even with the ongoing protests.

Pros:

Nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Nice terrace. Good communication from the staff. Good location and walking distance to many attractions (markets, restaurants, ...)

Cons:

It is a nice place but I would qualify it more as a B&B than a hotel. It has no proper staffed reception. You need a security code to enter the "hotel" itself. It has only a few rooms. Nothing particularly wrong with that but considering the high price of the room per night, we were expecting a posh hotel, so it is somewhat of a surprise. Although the communications through WhatsApp before and during our stay were always good and rapid, we were never told that there would be a blockade on our street during our stay caused by a teachers strike. It was a bit of a shock one morning when we walked out and saw all the tents blocking the street and found out that the blockades would be for an indefinite amount of time. We researched it and the blockades had been planned several weeks before our stay. We would have liked to be warned about it in advance. It all worked out at the end as our host arranged for a taxi driver to physically come pick us up and take us to his parked car nearby. But we still broke a wheel of one of our luggage while rolling it on the cobbled stones.

Pros:

A lovely boutique stay in the heart of Oaxaca. Materia Hotel is small and intimate, thoughtfully designed, and well-located for exploring the city.
The staff were friendly and attentive, quick to respond and generous with local recommendations. Breakfast was good, with vegan options accommodated without any fuss.
