I booked the Hotel Magna 365 (formerly the Hotel Meliá), because I love the Malecon of Santo Domingo, however after the first night I switched to this hotel because it is quieter. The hotel was nice and the staff is very friendly. The rooms were recently remodeled and the rooms are very comfortable. If you want to travel on the... More

The pros: what most others said - the rooms and facilities are excellent and if I were only to rate the hotel on these factors, it would get 4 or 5 stars. However, I found the staff and location to be drawbacks. Unless you have a car, you're stuck with taxis. At Barcelo, they seemed to have a flat rate... More

price-quality, very good! I spend only staying one night. When I arrived at room, I noticed that he had no towels needed. I called the reservation girl (Carol Medina) and said I needed a few things for the room, she politely respond immediately and it was a night excellent. I liked the hotel location and service.
