Historic setting beautifully maintained. Lovely flowers. Great staff. Excellent access to historic colonial Santo Domingo. Excellent restaurant. Spotlessly clean. Great mezanine and beautiful inner courtyard.

Hotel Frances is a very tranquil, clean, and well cared for place to stay in the bustling colonial zone of Santo Domingo, just two short blocks from the touristy Calle El Conde. Because of the small size of Hotel Frances (only 19 rooms), the staff seemed to know and give personal attention to each and every guest. As a single female traveler, that attention made me feel very comfortable and safe…and I should add it was very professional, almost business-like attention (not the typical, almost-flirty attention typical of Dominican places). The gardens and room appointments really made the hotel feel like a respite from the city of Santo Domingo. As other reviewers mentioned, food & drink prices at Hotel Frances were high so I ate most of my meals elsewhere (and there were many, many places nearby to choose from!). I must say, though, everything I ordered from the hotel was of exceptional quality and presentation, which actually made it worth the price if you’re able to afford it.

The decoration is amazing. The building is mostly medieval so that's amazing. The breakfast is really good. There was a plumbing problem with our toilet and it was really hard to get it fixed. The room was a bit smelly.

Un bâtiment plein d'histoire, superbe, un patio entouré d'orchidées, du personnel d'une extrême gentillesse (mais ce n'est pas spécial au Frances, tous les dominicains sont adorables !) Apparemment l'hôtel n'était pas informé ni ravi que le petit déjeuner soit inclus dans le prix de booking... J'ai dû également discuté pour ne pas avoir à donner une empreinte de ma carte pour le cas où je consommerais des boissons du mini-bar.. C'est dommage dans un tel lieu qui se veut d'un certain luxe.

Superbe séjour à l'hôtel. La chambre que nous avions était très confortable et bien équipée, avec un lit gigantesque. Aucun bruit gênant. Le service du bar est exceptionnel, vous devez absolument essayer les mojitos. Pour les amateurs, le choix de cigares et rhum est excellent et à un prix relativement raisonnable pour un hôtel de ce standing. Le restaurant est également de très bonne qualité. Le positionnement est idéal dans la zone coloniale et le quartier bien surveillé. Nous le recommandons sans hésitation et y retournerons si l'occasion se présente. Accueil un peu froid. Nous sommes arrivés dans le style backpackers et avons eu l'impression d'être regardés de haut. L'autre point extrêmement désagréable, c'est d'avoir été débité d'avance de la totalité du séjour et de devoir laisser une avance de 100$ comme garantie pour les extras. Ce genre de pratique est indigne d'un hôtel de ce standing, où il est intolérable d'être suspecté d'être un voleur avant même d'avoir vu les chambres. D'autant plus que nous avons relevé une erreur lors du checkout, où on nous avait compté un petit déjeuner de trop.

Charme de l hôtel , bien placé en zone coloniale . Vaste chambre, cour intérieure très calme au milieu des plantes - personnel sympathique et repas excellent (attention !prix affichés hors taxes) Au moment de notre séjour,accueil exclusivement en espagnol,étonnant pour cette catégorie d'hôtel... lSur le site" booking", il était mentionné que le règlement aurait lieu directement à l'hôtel or celui-ci a été prélevé IMMEDIATEMENT sur mon compte(+frais bancaires) au moment de la réservation . Revoir également sur le site la partie"conditions" concernant les lits d'appoint :il est noté"gratuit! 2 enfants de - 16 ans séjournent à titre gracieux pour l'utilisation de la literie disponible" suivi de "le nombre de lit d'appoint est égal à O " .Cela manque un peu de logique et prête à confusion!Et nous avons dû effectivement payer un supplément...

Η θέση του είναι πολύ καλή , αν θέλει κάποιος να επισκεφτεί την zona Colonial οπως επησις έχει μια πολύ ευχάριστη αυλή. Το προσωπικο της reception στο front desk:α) Μου κακοφάνηκε που μου ζητήσανε επιπλέον 200 ευρώ εγγύηση για την διαμονή μας, τα οποία μας επιστράφηκαν στο τελος. β) Βαριοντουσαν να μαθουν τις ωρες λειτουργίας των Μουσειων και μας έδωσαν λάθος πληροφορίες .Το υπόλοιπο προσωπικό πολυ καλό.

Un hotel de type colonial complètement authentique. Un patio verdoyant et accueillant , comme tout le personnel d'ailleurs. Une expérience vraie et une nourriture de grande qualité accompagnėe d'un service impeccable et souriant! ( ils méritent chacun un bon ' tip' qui lui, n'est pas inclus dans l'addition finale) à recommander pour 1,2 ou 3 nuits à Santo Domingo. Une salle de bain propre mais un peu austère . Elle mériterait un peu plus de couleurs!

Su situación La habitación era muy precaria: no tenía apenas luz, la tv se desprogramaba sola, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba apenas, las llamadas de teléfono no te las podían pasar, e internet no funcionaba en la habitación. En cuanto al personal, el de las habitaciones nada que decir, pero el recepcionista era bastante mal educado ya que por culpa de que él sólo hizo el voucher por el total del precio de las habitaciones y no incluyó nada mas, cada vez que hacíamos una consumición teníamos que acudir a recepción para pasar la tarjeta de crédito. Así pues, el encanto general del hotel quedó bastante limitado debido a la actitud arisca y poco amable de recepción.

La posizione, il palazzo È una vergogna che un hotel a cinque stelle, organizzi cena-festa, con clienti esterni, circa un centinaio, con tanto di karaoke, nel proprio giardino interno, non pensando al fastidio e disagio dei propri clienti, che vorrebbero invece godersi l' hotel in pace e tranquillità, e non è la prima volta, visto che ho letto altre recensioni simili. Ed il giorno dopo neanche le scuse ci hanno fatto.
