Hotel berhampiran Plaza Marena, Santo Domingo Este

Stayed here as part of a medical service trip to the DR so we had 6 rooms for one night each at the beginning and end of the trip. We were welcomed with a warmth that is typical for the DR but there were a couple of problems on initial check in. Note that, like many hotels, not all rooms have two double beds and this was an issue for us, since our volunteers share rooms. This took some time and resulted in four of us being walked to another, nearby Hodelpa. Note that, even if you reserve a specific type of room, it pays to double check availability if this is important. There is a small, well managed parking lot at the hotel but the emphasis is on small. If you arrive by car, as we did, they will take your keys so they can move cars in and out of the tight space. There is a pay to park parking lot a couple of blocks away should the hotel spaces be full. The cost for this is nominal. Reception is airy and comfortable, with places for people to sit whilst other members check in. Once checked in, the rooms are accessed via a stairwell or a tiny elevator that reminds me of those one finds in Parisian hotels of a certain age. No room for more than 3 people, fewer with luggage. Also, the stairs seem to finish on the third floor despite there being rooms on the 4th! When you reach the top of the stairs on the third floor, you need to turn right, and double back on your self to find the stairs that lead to the 4th. Trust me, this is not intuitive! The rooms are functional but clean and comfortable. The bed in which I slept allowed for a great night's sleep and all was quiet which is a boon in SD which can be someone noisy especially in the evenings. I am not sure all rooms would be similarly quiet, but the street on which the hotel sits is relatively peaceful despite its proximity to the colonial center. Breakfast is provided and was excellent indeed. Plenty of choice and well staffed. There is a small patio area outside which is the pick of the available places to eat breakfast I reckon. Good choice of hot and cold foods were offered. Upon check out we were charged for eating a packet of ”Cheese-Its” from the room, which we had not consumed. One of the most annoying things in a hotel is having to argue you had NOT done something, especially taking things from the minibar, which I almost never do due to the high price of said items. I hate it when hotels make these phantom charges and, frankly, it happens about 30-40% of the time in hotels and necessitates an argument where one has to prove oneself innocent. Tiresome, even if it is only a few dollars each time. However, I would stay here again, it is a great base for the colonial center and very good value too.

A relatively new and newly renovated hotel in the Santo Domingo Colonial Zone, easy access to the airport highway (ride to SDQ about $25 with Uber), walking distance to the San Juan (Caribe) ferry terminal (if you travel light). 3 minute walk to Plaza Colon, everything else worth seeing (and there's a lot) in this very impressive historic zone is within walking distance (everywhere you look, renovations, roads and sidewalks updated, new cool places, etc, etc, this part of town gets better on every visit.) Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace over the older part of the complex, the much newer add-on building has a roof top bar open sometime late afternoon/evening. I stayed in the older part (the rooms with balconies), I understand that the rooms in the newer part (no balconies) may be a bit more comfortable, i.e., spacious, consider that if you are sharing the room with one or two others. Its all connected, including the roof tops, it might as well be the same building once your inside. Pleasant and efficient service, no AC or water issues. Breakfast offering is limited and nothing is really tasty, so if breakfast is a deal breaker, consider other options or eat out. There are good food choices in every direction. Same for nightlife, a lot to do and see all within a safe walking distance. I'm booking here again.

Great location! Beautiful hotel! The staff are very nice and helpful.

Excelente relación calidad-precio en Zona Colonial, recomendable.

Ini hotel dan sarapan yang hebat

객실이 뭔가 잘 정리된느낌. 수압이 엄청세서 제대로 샤워한 느낌. 주차장에서 객실까지 이동동선이 매우 가까워서 좋음. 주차관리원이 항상대기하여 주차를 도와줌. 무엇보다 가격이 저렴함

Greatest hotel experience in Santo Domingo. Good vibes starts from the check in with Jacinto and Jarlin which receive people with a nice welcome smile and kindness, they were very helpful with my requests. Breakfast area with all guys is amazing: Jessica, Franger, Henger, Rafaela, Julio Cesar, etc treat guest with a unique behavior. They really know the definition of customer care and service! And what about dinner at the restaurante,?Ramon and Luis give the best attention to customers, they are very kind and amazing person. STUNNING STAFF!!!

Alexander Sanabia offers great customer service. He is very polite and helpful. Francisco is also very kind and accommodating. I would definitely come back to this hotel again. The Dominican flag is the best meal on the menu, it satisfied my taste buds.
