Everything! I stayed with my husband and the facilities were so beautiful, a colonial house very good located in downtown. They gave us information about the city, good recommendations on restaurants and bars. They helped us by giving us more time to check out so we could have a bath before going to the airport. The breakfast was marvelous!! Very good food with a very good taste! I loved it. The people so kind and nice! I definitely will come back! Finally they helped us by booking a taxi driver for us to the airport with drinks to go (water, it was great for the heat)

Set in a historic building in Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone, once home to a former president, the adult-only Casa Sanchez is within 1 minute's walk of Conde street. This boutique hotel has an outdoor pool and a separate jacuzzi in a pretty roof garden. There's free WiFi in all areas and 24 hour front-desk.

Everything. Being a British guy, the fact we ended up in The British Suite, decorated in London stuff was a great surprise. The staff were excellent, the food in the hotel was excellent and it was a great place. We will be back!

Just a 2-minute walk from the Malecón seafront promenade and Güibia Beach, Hotel Riazor offers free dental consultations, free private parking and a 24-hour restaurant. Each air-conditioned room has a flat-screen TV.

The room was extremely clean, I was impressed - the walls of the room are spotlessly clean, like a residential locattion. The breakfast they offer is nice as well.

    The property was clean and designed well. The rooms were well maintained. The driver that assisted us was extremely helpful and took us to get a local sim and tour the city. The price for touring was reasonable and they were extremely timely.

    Wonderful building and design in the heart of Ciudad Colonial. In the hall you'll find a proper tour that goes into the common areas of the facility, telling the story of the building and the town, with beautiful historic maps of Santo Doming's evolution.
