This was our first Spanish class field trip to another country and the experience is one we will never forget. Although the staff of Hotel Dona Elvira displayed excellent service. I saw it unfair that there was no rooms available for the students of our Spanish trip, even though our Spanish teacher had booked the rooms way in advance for... More

We stayed here in March with our three young children - had the Isabella la Catolica suites which are right off of the lobby. I thought this might be a little uncomfortable having our door open out to where staff always was sitting, but it ended up not being a problem at all. They were very quiet. The rooms were... More

Good things: great, large breakfast of fruit, eggs, toast with butter and jam, coffee, and juice. Nice little pool for kids. The location is excellent-a couple blocks from the pedestrian street and withing walking distance to all Zona Colonial attractions. The staff was helpful and friendly. Bad things: we had a room with a twin bed below and queen upstairs.... More

We had to take an extremely long bus... More

Little did we know... More

Everything was going smoothly we were enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains and just Santo Domingo on a whole, but every thing turned into a tragedy when we... More

Hotel Dona Elvira is not one that I would recommend to anyone who is traveling to the DR. Its services are not only absurd but irresponsible and wreckless. My Spanish Class and I went on a trip to the Santo Domingo , Dominican Republic most recently and we had already booked the HOTEL DONA ELVIRA a week before the trip... More

We stayed only for one night, but arrived at 3 am due to our late arriving flight time. I was nervous that no one would answer the door at such a late hour, but he did instantly. Service at breakfast was courteous and yummy (eggs, cheese, ham, toast, fruit), and the coffee strong just like we needed. The hotel is... More
