We had previously stayed at La Dona Luz, but were in town for an impulse trip, without hotel reservations. We love the location - across the street from the plaza, and surrounded by great shopping and restaurants - so thought we'd give it a try. Luckily, we were able to get into the Rainbow Room on our first night. This... More

Nice Bed and Breakfast with several unique rooms. Rooms are beautiful and well kept. We spent a weekend in October in the Rainbow Room. This is a fairly large room on two floors and has a Hot Tub on the roof above. Not to hard to negotiate via ladder but my wife was a bit concerned. Overall this is a... More

This small place offers everything you can possibly expect: Suites with TV in each room, traditionally decorated, with kiva fireplace, heavenly bed, delicious breakfast, located in the heart of Taos, and all this for an affordable price. And if this would not be enough: Paco would do everything to help his guests, e.g. to find lost friends of whom you... More

We stayed here for three nights recently and had mixed feelings about the place. The positives: great location, just steps away from Taos Plaza, and with distant mountain views from our windows. The room was quite large, and well fitted out with two queen sized beds, separate sitting room etc. My misgivings relate to an overall impression that it was... More

Our stay at La Dona Luz was nice. We stayed in the Santiago room. Our room was furnished with many antique wooden pieces of furniture. Our bathroom was large and the tile work was beautiful. The breakfasts were good as we enjoyed delicious waffles with strawberries. The young lady who works there is sweet and helpful. The only minor issues... More

This is definitely the best place to stay in Taos. It's comfortable, beautiful and the host and staff could not be nicer. We've had the opportunity to stay in almost all the rooms now and will only stay here when in Taos. My sister and her family joined us here last year and also rave about it. If you want... More

We really enjoyed out stay at Doña luz. We had a fabulous room that was decorated with many antique artefacts and artwork. I loved the authentic adobe fire we had in our room. Breakfast was delicious and very filling. Thank you Paco for making us feel so welcome. You are doing a wonderful job.

First, while our stay was brief, it was truly memorable due to the care & attention we received from Paco (our friendly host) and his staff. The Taos Information Center recommended this B&B which is right in the heart of "old" Taos and across from the Kit Carson house & museum. Paco recommended a restaurant about a block away and... More

We really enjoyed this B&B and would stay there again. It's full of beautifully carved wood furniture, and each room has a theme (Spanish, Indian, etc.). We stayed in the Santiago, which was very nice; however, it has a skylight, which makes the room nice and light during the day, but allows the sun to shine in awfully early in... More

We have stayed here every year since we first discovered it 8 years ago while researching a place to stay with our dog. When I stepped into my room that very first time, my first reaction was that I couldn't believe that anyone would allow dogs in such an incredible place. Because La Dona Luz is not just a place...
