The room was great. The front desk staff and the porters were wonderful. The service in the restaurants was not great. The massage service was poorly organized. The person in the bar supposed to be serving. Customers spent all of her time looking at her cell phone and ignoring everybody providing the minimum service requirement

Attention history lovers

The property is pretty, all staff very friendly and helpful. So much history in the area all at walking distance. Everything is spotless and the room with a 4 poster king size bed was very beautiful.

Great location, great accommodations..... biggest negative was the Air Conditioner didn't work properly. Had to turn it off at night due to excessive cold, room was like a refrigerator. Happened in both rooms that I stayed in and my friend's room as well.

This has to be the best place to stay in Santo Domingo -- at least in 2025, as two of the other historic boutique hotels are currently surrounded by lots of street construction. I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is historic and fun to explore. My room was large and comfortable. I stayed in some sort of "club" room that gave me access to a private area with snacks and drinks. As nice as the property is (and it is very nice), the best thing is the location. RIght in the center of Santo Domingo's historic attractions, restaurants, and bars. So much to see, do and enjoy within a very short and safe walk from the hotel. Highly recommended.

Exceptionally clean & beautiful historic building in Zona Colonel. Exceptionally friendly and customer oriented staff. I have been to all the major hotels in Santo Domingo for over the past 15 years and this one is by far the best.

I loved the hotel, the location and the excellent service. I did NOT like my room. I asked for a quiet room with a single. Mine had a queen bed with an unwieldy set of bedding and quantity of pillows. It was one of six with a balcony opening to a very noisy street and an inner door that didn't shut completely.

Traditional room quite tight but very cool history. Lovely hotel. Was quiet until weekend. Staff mostly friendly. Perk in traditional room was coffee machine shared in common area and assorted sweets and savories throughout the day. Would stay again.
