Santo Domingo

This place is nice and clean. The room has internet access, cable TV, and a clean bathroom. The receptionist was kind. The price is affordable. The only thing I didn't like was the music coming from the street.  It seems like there is a party in the neighborhood every single night.  The music kept me from sleeping. On weekdays they play music until 11 or 12 p.m. The weekend the music was on until 3 a.m. plus the cars honking, and the motorcycles' noises were too loud.  Besides the music at night time, the apartment is fine and calm during the days

It is not too bad

A very good option for those who want to explore the colonial area of the capital of the Dominican Republic.It is located in a very busy area, close to all the centres of interest but this does not affect the tranquility of sleep at night.My room had a lot of space, in fact it was a small apartment.Very kind and available in charge, Yomaira who was able to advise me on many activities to be carried out on the island.In my case, the only weak point was that my room had very little natural light and this gave a bit of a claustrophobia feeling.

Good hospitality, courtesy and strategic location to explore the colonial area.

I enjoyed, I am thankful for the wifi working, and the friendliness

Thank you

So charming and close to very interesting and educational areas.

I picked this place based on the extremely high ratings, great rates and personal reviews I read here. I can say that what you read on here is true. This place is managed by an amazing woman named Yomaira who makes this place everything it is! From the moment I booked I was able to contact the manager Yomaira directly and she was unbelievably helpful. I do not speak Spanish and this was my first time traveling to the Dominican Rebublic also I was going by myself. From the moment my plane landed Yomaira was texting me making sure everything was going ok. I let her know it was taking me longer than expected due to immigration process and she said not to worry she would wait for me to check in. When I arrived it looked exactly as pictured beautiful purple amazing building inside. Yomaira was right there and walked me through everything including a map of the local area and places that would be most helpful pointed out. She was able to answer all of my questions and never once got frustrated which is a huge credit to her since I had about 800 questions. The room has a nice tv with lots of channels. Yomaira showed me exactly how to use it and which channels were in English. The room had a nice kitchen that had everything you need to cook whatever u bought at the local market within walking distance. Great way to save money. I would definitely stay here if I return to Santo Domingo. This place makes you feel like you are home and with family. No credit cards taken bring pesos.

Home away from Home

There was a slight problem with electrical due to the city not the hotel but the staff and the owner made everything bearable. No problem for me. I enjoyed my weekend stay there very much.

Comfortable hotel-great staff-great location.

I have stayed at this hotel 3 times now for extended days. Located right off the famous Calle El Conde in the center of the Zona Colonial. Full kitchen with large fridge. Balcony room or more quite room in the back. Roof top hang out area. A very attentive and honest manager. Safe, clean and convenient.

This hotel is a great catch

With the cheap price I was cautious of this place however everything was great. I was greeted on the street as soon as I got out the taxi and check in was very smooth. I paid dollars and the price remained the same as when I had booked it six months ago. The staff were great and printed out a map for me and told me local events to visit on differnt days. The colonial zone is pretty safe with civil gaurds on most corners at night that would accompany you to wherever you needed to go if you asked them to. The hotel itself was very clean with fairly updated facilities and the shower was always warm. The cleaner came in every other day at around 4 in the afternoon. The bed was comfortable and I considered stealing a pillow as they were so nice. Unfortunately the aircon was weaker than I would have liked but there was also a cealing fan to help keep you cool so it didn't matter to much. The cost of ac was 12 peso per hour and they take a photo of the meter before you enter and after you leave to work out the price which really isn't too bad at all. There was a fully working fridge supplied with one bottle of water when I got there to see you through to the next day when you can go shopping yourself. The place was very secure with an electrical lock needed to enter the building, a gated to enter each floor and a house key aswell as a security box for your passport. While the view from the room was far from spectacular the view from the beautiful roof terrace gave you a real feel for the colonial zone. As a female solo traveler that speaks no Spanish I was pretty anxious but staying here really put my mind at ease and for such a great price I would 100% book again if I come back to the dominican republic.

Great place great price

I think other reviews have said it all. I had booked a balcony room but was given the choice of that or another on the ground floor in the back courtyard and being over 70 chose the latter. The room was well kept, had cooking facilities but no kettle. The bed was comfortable with a fan which was sufficient for us. Having the louvre shutters closed meant it was dark so we had no difficulty sleeping.Yomaira, as has been said was most helpful for everything even lending us non techies a simple mobile phone with her number programmed in just in case we got into trouble as pensioners may well do!It was by no means luxurious but certainly value for money, safe and convenient to see all of the old town

Value for money

I wanted a nice, safe, clean, and centrally located place to stay and that is exactly what I received. Located on the street (Calle Las Mercedes) that runs parallel to the "Calle El Conde" (pedestrian street) located in the smack dab middle of the Colonial Zone. The manager is amazing and super helpful. Very attentive to her guest. My hotel room had 2 balconies and a full kitchen. I knew when I asked for a balcony that there would be the noise of the street factor so it wasn't an issue for me. If you want more quiet, ask for a room in the back of the hotel. There is a roof top lounge area that has a view of the Caribbean Sea and many parts of the city. Cameras at the door and front of the hotel for your protection. The front door is always locked. The street outside and area is very safe during the day. But like any city in the world be vigilant at night and use common sense. That goes for any place you stay in the city. My room had its own Wi Fi router and cable television. I highly recommend this hotel if you don't want the big expensive hotels.
