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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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.
