    Fantastic choice!
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard Double Room

    My only recommendation is to install a pole with a curtain to hide the TV as most people don't watch TV on holiday and it was an unnecessary modern touch in an otherwise nicely renovated historical room. Keep the A/C though! Also, adding an air conditioner to the communal lounge area would entice people to sit there, but the courtyard and roof top were more than sufficient communal areas.

    It's very rare that I give a property 10/10 but this place deserves it! I absolutely loved everything about it. If you want to stay somewhere with history and character with modern finishes like A/C and hot water, then choose this place. I loved the cast iron door handles, four-poster beds, the colour scheme and tiles. The roof top and courtyard areas were a great place to relax. The museum info boards in English and Spanish were a unique addition and made me feel like I was staying in a truly special place. Breakfast was substantial. Also for those of you wondering whether Santo Domingo is safe, I was shocked at it being one of the safest places I've been in Latin America, specifically all of Zona Colonial and the Three Eyes National Park. (I've travelled a lot elsewhere in Latin America).

    We did not know the room was on the second floor and there is no elevator. The breakfast was mediocre.

    The gentleman at the front desk took our (heavy) suitcases to our second floor room and brought them down when we checked out. The hotel also arranged transportation for us. The hotel and the room were historic.

    The location is right in the heart of the Colonial zone, the staff is very friendly and they make sure your stay is amazing. There is a very nice terrace on the upper floor while the building itself has a very ancient history which you wil discover once there.

    Front desk person in the afternoon shift is only focused on his own activities (phone) and doesn’t even look up or greet.

    The building is a museum and there is lots to see, the rooms are very nice but without daylight, these have airconditioning. The common area and breakfast area is very hot. Kitchen and cleaning staff are very attentive

    Rooms are a bit dark but it wasnt a big issue for us. Its on a quieter street so walking late at night can be a bit lonely.

    Very quaint and unique place as its a historical building. The rooms open into a nice courtyard area as shown in the pictures on Booking. Its very close to the main attractions in the historical zone. Very clean, good breakfast and daliy housekeeping. Very good restuarants are close by. All in all its a really good boutique hotel. They are also able to arrange tours and taxis for guests. Someone is at the front desk 24 hrs which was also good. I would stay here again.

    Sometimes the electricity would go away, but it boosted back up quickly!

    Such a unique hotel, a true blast from the past, in the best way possible. It is a museum/hotel, so it has some information on the walls about the building and the city as well as some artefacts. The rooms each have a private entrance and you get step out into the courtyard from your room. We were in room number 5, it had two hugeeee beds and it was very comfortable. The wifi was great, the bathroom was big. Truly enjoyable experience.

    The rooms have small windows and are unfortunately dark. Rooms at the ground floor are located right at the courtyard where breakfast is served right in front of the doors so there is little privacy in the morning.

    Perfect location in the town next to a square, the building has a historic charme and it comes with a surprisingly beautiful rooftop although it is not serviced.

    We loved the courtyard and the mix of authentic colonial style and comfort! We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace. Our room was clean and spacious and comfortably cool thanks to the AC. The bed was comfy and the breakfast had a great variety of fruits and types of scrambled eggs. We loved the coffee, it helped cure our jet lag. The staff was really friendly and helpful, nevertheless it would have helped if we could have spoken a bit of Spanish. The location was perfect, we were right in the heart of the zona colonial and had everything (supermarket, ATM, restaurants etc.) right around the corner. We highly recommend staying here.
