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. ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Dec 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very good Quiet and bed very clean ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nardia May 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the area was in reach of everything ##### Nardia Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice water pressure and plenty of warm water for the shower.

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. ##### Benjamin Enriquez Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Noel Oct 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was great the property very clean the only issue i have was the breakfast was no good couldn't eat it need to do better i went out and have breakfast instead. ##### Noel Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nanci Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff is friendly and hospitable. The rooms are very clean. I didn't like that the property is five stories high and has no elevator; you have to walk up with your luggage. They have free breakfast, but personally, I was not impressed, other than the fresh fruits. ##### Nanci Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Judy Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bbcc6426-521e-4742-abb7-7460a1484f3e-1757695371758.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4d358f41-4edf-4d49-a4fa-bab33540c8fb-1757695377477.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7a34ac69-80e5-4e2c-8380-59f9d7156698-1757695379742.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ee5e672-5a20-4595-b825-4b8064ecc140-1757695377858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Judy Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FRANCISCA Jul 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property itself is really great. The staff is amazing. They went above and beyond to accommodate all my needs. The rooms are new and have lots of outlets you can use to plug in your electronics. This location has 4 floors but they do not have elevators so be prepared if you are traveling with lots of luggage. The only downside for my stay was the Wi-Fi that was not stable on the 4th floor. Hopefully they can find a way to make it stronger throughout the hotel. The area had construction on the street which would cause the power to go off several times a day and at night. The hotel does have a generator, but it was annoying to deal with especially at night. I still believe that this location deserves a 5 star since the construction was not something they can control and because their staff was outstanding. ##### FRANCISCA Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen Jan 26, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mikel at the front desk was very helpful.
