21 Apr 2026Staff is really friendly. Breakfast for the category is ok. Downside for a 5 floor building having no lift is raltivly difficult when travelling with suitcases. Internet not working most of the times. Hot water does not work very often.

13 May 2025The 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.

23 Jan 2026Good location in the tourist zone. Staff very friendly and helpful. But the room had just one window that looked out into a corridor, the light in the room was way too bright while the light in the bathroom was too dim. Hot water was only available intermittently and the Wifi was very slow in the morning and then again in the evening.

29 Jun 2025The 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.

2 Dec 2024The 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.
