The staff is super polite and were very flexible with prepping for my wedding. The hotel is cute and they keep it very clean. Breakfast was surprisingly good and had a beautiful view. It was at a walking distance from everything in the zona colonial and in a quiet safe area. The doors are locked at night for extra safety too. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable stay while exploring the beautiful Santo Domingo.

During my stay, the Wi-Fi signal was consistently weak, and there was no hot water available for showering. On my final night, I had an unpleasant interaction with the front desk receptionist, who was rude and argumentative when I inquired about a guest visiting me. He also refused to provide his name when requested. Despite this negative encounter, I want to acknowledge that the rest of the staff were very friendly, professional, and helpful throughout my stay.

La estancia fue maravillosa desde el checking Zeus nos recibió y nos dio todas las informaciones que teníamos que saber para que nuestra estancia sea placentera, un 10 de 10 para el y en el desayuno Nancy nos atendió de maravilla además de que todo estaba riquísimo y una variedad excelente. En general buen servicio de todos incluyendo a Joseph también en recepción y las habitaciones muy lindas, limpias y espaciosas, lo único es que agregaría un espejo en la habitación además de eso todo desde inicio hasta fin 10/10.
