I stayed in this hotel again Wednesday April 9th through Thursday April 24th. To be honest I travel to DR twice every year and I always stay at this hotel so I already know what type of environment to expect, I already know most of the staff too.

Great place to stay in Santo Domingo! Location is great, right at Zona Colonial, walking distance to some interesting sights, food stalls and even the nearby beach. Free and secure parking included. Wifi works great, the hotel and the rooms are clean. Hot shower with good water pressure. Friendly staff. They even have a nice terrace with good views and a small pool. Price is good. Can recommend this place!
