This hotel represents the best of what the Colonial Zone has to offer. It is housed in an early colonial structure with walls that are nearly a yard thick. It is located on the earliest European-built paved street in the Americas. It boasts magnificent views of the port and the river from its perch atop the city walls. It is located a short walk from all the attractions worth visiting. It is impeccably maintained and it is staffed by dedicated employees.

I loved this property! What a time travel gem in the center of Santo Domingo’s old town. The delicacy of every single detail made us feel like royalty. The welcome letter had wax seal with the original seal of the governor’s whose house used to belong to. Beautifully decorated, elegant, fine, exquisite work to keep its original design. The concierge, Felix, was a plus. Ever present and such a problem solver. Knowledgeable about the history, he gave us a tour around the premises explaining everything. What a proper and decent person! His appearance was impeccable and so were his manners. The girls by the front desk, the boys by the bar, the waitresses, everyone was friendly and eager to answer any questions. Clara was a beautiful lady, it was a delight to have her as my waitress and so was Virgilio. They feel so proud of their jobs, and that says a lot. It was more than I expected.

I liked everything!

I love this hotel. It was our second time here in less than sixty days after a short stay the first week of August. I left the last time with a desire to stay just a little bit longer; it was only logical that I would pick it as a place to stay for our 20th wedding anniversary. Once again, it was a pleasure to see the familiar faces like Felix, Clara, and Virgilio. What a wonderful place to visit to be treated as a guest yet feel like family. Thank you so much for your outstanding hospitality. I hope to see you soon!

The atmosphere is so beautiful.

Difficult to keep the pool clean. P Also, the price in dollars was not actual because they said they said they had to run my card at the hotel’s exchange rate, but I’ve lived in the DR for more than 8 years, and that’s not true. They could’ve ran my visa in pesos and I would have been given a much better rate by my bank.

Hotel is incredible. Its great that its historical elements were preserved. Honestly so beautiful! Staff was very friendly. Room was lovely. Loved the facilities and everything! 10/10

Breakfast on our first morning was a little cold, probably because there were less guests. On the second morning it was perfect! I am also a bit disappointed because I asked staff if there was the possibility for a historical tour and they didn’t seem to think so. When leaving I saw a sign that indicated a historical tour would have been possible.

Stunning. a gem in the historic center, and historic on its own. Public spaces are quiet and peaceful. Staff is great. close to all the sights in the historic district. Safe if traveling solo.

Food was only so-so (dinner and bar)I would recommend heading out and trying local spots. while breakfast buffet was beautiful, at $25 USD, seemed pricey for what you got. No option to just do ala carte.

We loved this hotel. Yes, it's a little pricey, but the service is great and attention to detail is superb. The staff were incredibly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Top marks! VERY clean, too. Wonderful breakfast! The pool was superb, the decor perfectly suited the building, which was full of history. We plan to return here regularly. Thank you for a great stay!

There is nothing not to like about this hotel!
