Perfect stay
The hotel is beautiful. The food was top notch. But the absolute best part of this hotel is the team. Every single encounter is filled with warmth, knowledge and genuine joy!

Awesome place with so much history
Great place. Very sweet staff. Loved our stay. Hermes was particularly wonderful. Internet could be stronger. Breakfast buffet is really delicious and extensive.

Exceptional staff in a truly remarkable setting!
During our inspection trip, we were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding quality of service provided by the entire staff. Warm, energetic, and highly professional, they are always present when needed while remaining discreet and unobtrusive. The hotel’s ideal location, in the heart of the Colonial Zone, immediately immerses you in a genuinely Dominican atmosphere, perfect for exploring the city in all its authenticity. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable, with luxurious and pleasant bedding that invites true relaxation. Only minor drawback: the electrical outlets are not fully suited to today’s technological needs. The restaurant offers a refined menu, with cuisine that is particularly delicious and pleasing to the palate. A bit more fresh fish would have made it perfect, but that’s a minor detail given the overall excellence of the service. As for pricing, the property offers great value for money considering its standard. However, it would be helpful for guests if prices were displayed including VAT, to avoid surprises when settling the bill. In conclusion, this hotel is perfect for a 2- to 3-night stay in the capital of the Dominican Republic, allowing you to enjoy its exceptional setting and services while freely discovering the city on your own.
