Atención al cliente valiosa.

Quiero resaltar la buena atención al cliente que tienen en este hotel, antes de mi llegada fueron muy amables en darme detalles de mi estancia. Y quiero sugerirles que no reserven la habitación más sencilla porque es bastante incómoda y pequeña, fuera de eso, todo súper.

They will steal your money

The hotel ripped us off of $320. We paid with cash for the sizable discount but they still charged our credit card as well. The hotel will not respo d to my requests.
Mitchell, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There were roaches in the bed. No water pressure in the bathroom (shower head).
Miguel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Existen mejores opciones

La habitación no era la gran cosa, tenia un extraño olor y mucha humedad. La recepcionista no fue de utilidad con ninguna de nuestras consultas (dirección de un destino turístico, medio de transporte). Nadie fue particularmente amable o atento

Heerlijk in centrum Santo Domingo!

Wij vonden het een toplocatie, midden in t oude centrum, parkeren voor de deur mogelijk. Een klein zwembadje om af te koelen van de stad en allemaal aardig personeel. Schattige accommodatie.

Nice colonial house close to all the main places in the colonial zone. Breakfast was great, especially having it next to the pool. Comfortable rooms with lots of space. Nice staff too

El personal es muy amigable, quisiera agradecer a Rafaela en recepción por ayudarnos con nuestro check in y poder descansar de un largo viaje tanto yo y mi hermana estamos muy agradecidas con la atención.

Lovely historic building brought back to life. safe area, friendly staff. Irwin was a great hotel representative and spoke good english.
Valerie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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

The hotel is Beautiful. The room smelled like mold, and wasn’t cleaned properly. They only have street parking.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
