Amazing stay!

My stay at Hotel Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando was absolutely fantastic! The service was excellent, the staff was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my comfort. The hotel itself is a stunning blend of historic and modern elements, with the architecture truly standing out. The colonial-style design adds so much character, and it's a privilege to stay in such a beautifully preserved, centuries-old building. The atmosphere is both elegant and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santo Domingo.

We were extremely disappointed with our stay at Kimpton Las Mercedes. The hotel is advertised as luxury, but the surrounding area felt unsafe and nothing like the photos, more like a rundown neighborhood. Our room was much smaller than described and located right across from the elevator, making it very noisy with no privacy. The view from both the room and pool area was of deteriorated buildings, not the city view shown online. Customer service was also not up to par. We checked out after one night even though we had planned to stay longer. This property is misleading and not worth the price.
