The rooms were very clean. Although my room was small it had everything I needed. Air conditioning for hot afternoons and heat for cold mornings. The breakfast was good. The staff was helpful and attentive. The location is excellent for anyone with mobility issues. Only a few blocks to the Zocalo or to Santo Domingo.

The service was excellent. The amenities are clean, pleasing to the eye, wonderful artwork in the hotel. I did get good night sleep although there is street noise so if you’re a light sleeper, make sure you have earplugs.

We stayed at Hotel Abu for a week between Christmas and New Years 2025. We loved the comfortable room and central location. The hotel is kept very clean and we enjoyed the breakfast provided.
I want to highlight staff who were extra helpful to us as we speak very little Spanish.
We left some valuables in our room at checkout and before we discovered this staff contacted us and is helping us ship them back to us- amazing service!

You get what you pay for. It’s an affordable hotel, walking distance to all restaurants and close to centro. Only thing is that the bathroom was outdated but it worked fine. A party venue is right across the street so bring earplugs if you want to sleep well.
Other than that everything was great!
