Reviews for Hodelpa Nicolas de Ovando
Gracias for making my dream wedding come true!!
This is one of my favorite hotels in the world. A stunning restoration of a beautiful 500+ year old building, one of the oldest in the Western Hemisphere, filled with gorgeous courtyards, interesting art, and a delectable swimming pool. Located in the heart of La Zona Colonial, there is no shortage of museums, restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance. The charm and lively energy of this beautiful neighborhood will stick with you long after you leave. I would like to thank the attentive and friendly staff of Hodelpa de Nicolas Ovando, who helped make my dream wedding come true. Muchas muchas gracias. In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Felix for his kindness and dedication to making us feel welcome and comfortable. I cannot wait to return to this fantastic property! Until next time!

BEST HOSPITALITY EXPERIENCE
Had an incredible experience, the hospitality was on another level. The receptionist was able to accommodate an early check-in for us. Felix went above and beyond! Friendly and kind, he walked us to our car late at night to ensure we were safe. One of the best hotel stays we ever had and we cannot wait to come back.

Dominican flavor
Our waiter Darlyn was very helpful guiding us through the menu and everything he recommended was excellent. The restaurant is located in a historic hotel and is beautifully decorated. Highly recommend for a traditional Dominican food experience.
