The hotel was in walking distance to most of the sights of Santo Domingo. But even the accomodation itself is a treasure. The property is very charming and we felt welcome immediatly. On top of all that, the Service was extraordinary. There was nothing the staff could not organize. I would defintly book here again when I am back.

It’s in Zona near Ballittini Hotel and The Large Church. It has a nice quiet traditional vibe. My room 14, was small but it was cleaned everyday. AC , ceiling fan and TV all worked. No condiments given except one roll of toilet paper and one towel which is not changed daily. Breakfast was Traditional American or Traditional Dominican. The Fresh Juice was good. The staff is very nice. They are there to help but not overbearing. Doors are locked at night and must be let in by staff. PLEASE BE PATIENT and Knock Softly. I would recommend for short stays

First the pictures don’t really represent what you get, it felt being in a horse stable. The morning breakfast waitress was not friendly at all, I asked for some water and I had to pay for it when breakfast was included, would definitely not recommend this location, I wouldn’t even call it hotel. The hotel across from them helped me more by safeguarding my vehicle, no assistance whatsoever from this property. I felt is if I was bothering them.
