Paul, 2-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.

Richard, 2-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

Easy access to el malecon, only street parking
Edwin J, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice water pressure and plenty of warm water for the shower. Very friendly staff who can communicate in English.

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

Friendly, clean, updated and safe
Richard, 2-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.

Luis G, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was great the property very clean the only issue i have was the breakfast was no good couldn't eat it need to do better i went out and have breakfast instead.
Noel, 5-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.
