very nice antique building. we stayed in the Colonial room, there are two types of Colonial, one with shower and other with shower. the bath one is much smaller so we choose the shower much spacious and comfortable. the breakfast is plenty and they even serve sparkling mimosas. the local honey was delicious. the pool is great. we enjoyed our stay. little over price but to be in the Main Street in historic building made the experience more unique. would definitely come back.

Renata United States of America

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.

Jeri United States of America

Best hotel in the Capitol. Great staff and location everyone goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Tons of things in walking distance including museums, restaurants, galleries and entertainment venues. The Colonial Zone is rich in history and has a great night life while feeling secure

Jeffrey United States of America

The location was perfect for exploring the colonial town of Santo Domingo. the rooms were spacious. A few restaurants options were available on site.

Clotilde United Arab Emirates

The staff was incredible and the hotel was beautiful.

Keesha United States of America

great spaces to relax, nice bar, friendly staff, awesome location

Jennie United States of America

The room was fabulous and very old style colonial as advertised. Everything was clean and well kept. One really feels like traveling back in time and the overall experience was very nice! The breakfast was exquisite and we enjoyed the outdoor seating at the patio. The staff was very attentive, pleasant, and very professional. We would definitely return again but this time we would probably want a different style room on the top floor (see below what we did like)

Vskrbic Costa Rica

EVERYTHING. The hotel AND the location are a dream, full of history and beautiful architecture, and the breakfast. WOW. Like a 4 5 star buffet. We stayed in a 500-year-old room. I felt like royalty.. with a window view out to the cobblestone street. The pool, the bar, the courtyard, the landscaping, the decor. It's GORGEOUS

Shakti United States of America
