Good place to stay near
Rafael, 1-night trip

Excellent location, quiet, clean with an excellent breakfast.
Marcia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was good, once you figured out how to get the hot water to work in the shower, i chose this area because i lived in this area.
Angela, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is super polite and were very flexible with prepping for my wedding. The hotel is cute and they keep it very clean. Breakfast was surprisingly good and had a beautiful view. It was at a walking distance from everything in the zona colonial and in a quiet safe area. The doors are locked at night for extra safety too. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable stay while exploring the beautiful Santo Domingo.

Edwin J, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older property with a lot of character and good choice of amenities. Staff was bilingual and very accommodating. Close to the Malecon, and many shops and restaurants. At least 2 Banks near by and plenty of ATM's. A good choice depending on what you are looking for.
Kwesi, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly, clean, updated and safe
Richard, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good price, Tremendous potential but needs work

Positive aspects: excellent location. Walking distance to Malecon and Colonial highlights. Staff at reception was friendly and very helpful. Wonderful rooftop pool with nice view. Breakfast is surprisingly good. We received a bottle of wine. That was super nice. On the not so good side this hotel’s renovation is clearly not finished. There are exposed breaker boxes next to water pipes. Air conditioning dripping water above electrical plugs. USB plugs not working. Overall pretty bad condition and I believe unsafe in terms of the electrical/water hazards. I think this little hotel has tremendous potential but needs work.
Judy, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff is friendly and hospitable. The rooms are very clean. I didn't like that the property is five stories high and has no elevator; you have to walk up with your luggage. They have free breakfast, but personally, I was not impressed, other than the fresh fruits.
Nanci, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was not cleaned properly. Found a cup of beer in the fridge
Calvin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

NO WIFI AT ALL

WiFI NOT WORKING AT ALL and I had no hot water in my shower... and the cleaning lady plays super loud morning in the hallway while I was sleeping
Wen Hua, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property was absolutely the worst. Tv did not work , internet, shower was cold, place was filthy, misleading about a pool it was a dirty jacuzzi. I stayed there for a few hours did not sleep and left first thing in the morning. They required the guest to sign non refundable once you’re in the room. It was after I entered the room I realized all the issues. I would never stay nor recommend this place. The workers look like they’re frustrated because they can only do but so much.
Georgia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

ha sido una experiencia muy lamentable, el lugar para desayunar esta en la azotea sin ventanas,llovia mucho y todo estaba lleno de agua incluida la comida, las bebidas, las tazas los platos todo estaba inundado, la persona encargada no hizo nada para ofrecer ni tan siquiera un cafe solo sonreia, agradecemos mucho al joven del dia anterior de nacionalidad haitina que fue muy amable, nos subio las 4 maletas a la habitacion y la habitacion estaba limpia y comoda
Maria Almudena, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Buena estadía

Todo muy bien! Muy moderno, servicio bueno, buena ubicación y el desayuno muy rico
MA ELENA, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved this hotel except for the bedside tables. They are Bluetooth enabled and would not stop beeping all night long. The room is too smart, the fridge and everything else turns off to save power when you leave the room with the card which means nothing in the fridge stays cold and your phone won’t charge when you leave… but it’s a beautiful hotel with an awesome terrace. We would go back.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

Nos encantó nuestra estadía. Todo muy limpio. El personal excelente, especialmente las chicas de limpieza y del área del desayuno. El desayuno muy bueno y completo, muy variado todos los días.

Hotel próximo ao centro histórico, casa antiga que foi reformada e transformada num hotel com quartos bem modernos. Limpeza impecável, café da manhã excelente, atendimento ótimo. Voltaria com certeza!
