During my stay, the Wi-Fi signal was consistently weak, and there was no hot water available for showering. On my final night, I had an unpleasant interaction with the front desk receptionist, who was rude and argumentative when I inquired about a guest visiting me. He also refused to provide his name when requested. Despite this negative encounter, I want to acknowledge that the rest of the staff were very friendly, professional, and helpful throughout my stay.

La estancia fue maravillosa desde el checking Zeus nos recibió y nos dio todas las informaciones que teníamos que saber para que nuestra estancia sea placentera, un 10 de 10 para el y en el desayuno Nancy nos atendió de maravilla además de que todo estaba riquísimo y una variedad excelente. En general buen servicio de todos incluyendo a Joseph también en recepción y las habitaciones muy lindas, limpias y espaciosas, lo único es que agregaría un espejo en la habitación además de eso todo desde inicio hasta fin 10/10.

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.

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.

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.

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.
