This is a nice place, reasonably priced and in an excellent location to experience and explore the Zona Colonial, which is the oldest and most fascinating section of Santo Domingo. It was clean, secure, relaxed, and friendly, and you're close to a lot of things. I had no noise problems on the third floor, everything in the room worked well... More

The hotel is in the main street, so we knew there would have been noise. Still, we didn't expect loud music to be played right next door untill 3 am!!! The day after this sleepless night, we asked to be moved. The staff was really friendly and helpful and moved us to another room in the same floor. We have... More

We stayed here one night on our way into the country, then two nights on our way out of the country. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and spoke multiple languages. They gave us advice where to go, how to get there, and what places to visit. If you ask, they'll call an inexpensive taxi for you! We had an... More

The building is well managed and the location is fantastic. There is a DR tour center a few doors down; Hard Rock; Segafreddo; public plaza and oldest church in the Western Hemisphere. The rooms are... More

Best thing in this hotel is staff - special thanks to Nury Martinez who arranged transportation from airport to hotel and helped us to get the large top floor corner room with balcony. Any question or special request we had during our stay, she was always ready to help us. -A&J-

This seems to be a nice if very basic little hotel in many ways...in a perfect location right on Christopher Columbus Park. The attached restaurant, indoors or outdoor on the plaza has pretty good food from what we can tell among the limited things we have tried, and seems to be a central gathering point. So the good news is... More

This classic and historic hotel occupies the absolute best location within the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo - directly across from the park and cathedral. The first floor of this hotel is a restaurant that joins a very popular outdoor cafe. All of the staff are attentive and friendly. I would recommend one of the larger double rooms - 2... More
