Beautiful hotel! The breakfast was delicious and huge - there was everything from beet juice, hot chocolate, to custom omelette orders to muffins. One morning they served churros in a Carmel sauce which was fantastic. The door men went above and beyond for their service. This hotel was very accommodating and right next to so many restaurants, and it felt very safe in the colonial zone. The power went out on our last morning there, but that is not bad considering we were there for 9 days. Hotel in general goes above and beyond - there was an emergency and the hotel called a taxi for the emergency. I highly recommend staying here- it’s a little musty but I think that’s just from the weather in the DR.

An absolutely beautiful property. It is a living historical landmark. From the moment you arrive the staff attends to all your needs and make you feel very welcomed. We had a wonderful time walking around the property and exploring every nook. The room itself was the only let down, with the a/c not working properly at times, a poor shower enclosure that leaks water all over the floor and a broken window shade. The room was clean and sanitized, but needs to be upgraded and maintained. Service was attentive and the restaurant (1502) had wonderful entertainment and a great menu. Breakfast buffet is certainly worth it and the Chinola Mojito was made perfect every time. The hotel is situated in an ideal and central location of the Zona Colonial, which makes exploring the area and its landmarks very easy.

This hotel is your best choice when visiting Santo Domingo. The installations are spotless with a great fusion between the old arquitecture and modern amenities. Our room, although smaller than expected for the price, it was super nice, clean and comfortable with a great view over the main tourist corridor "Calle de las Damas". All the staff was super attentive and helpful, and as you walk around the hotel everybody greets you and offers to assist if needed. This is part of the nature of all the locals. Very polite and respectful. You might have to pay more, but it will be money well.spent for having a place to stay that it is sitting right at the heart of the colonial Santo Domingo.
