“Fabulous room and beautiful building, but otherwise average”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2010

One of the biggest and nicest rooms I have ever had, in a beautiful building. Like staying in a castle. Well located in the old town, everything a short walk away.

Wi-fi is extremely spotty and undependable. I spent a LOT of time walking all over the hotel seeking a signal, and usually ended up at an internet cafe a few blocks away.

Staff was competent if indifferent. On the same trip I stayed at Hotel Atarazana for a few days. It was exceptional in every way, and less expensive. .

“Great Hotel!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2010

I loved staying at this hotel. There was this romantic old world feel about it. The rooms were spacious and clean. I also love the location, as it was right in the center of town. I would definitly go there again!!

I'm glad i too Tripadvisor.com's advice when choosing a hotel to stay in on my vacation!

“Excellent Tranquil Oasis!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

We'll try to stick to the facts without the fluff.

Would stay here again without hesitation. If you reach out to the staff they will embrace you like family. EVERYONE was attentive to our needs: Front desk, Maid, Supervisors, kitchen staff, Bell Hop, and even the owner George.

Our first night was in room #130. You get what you pay for. Bargain basement price = bargain basement room. Avoid like the plague. Although clean, it was VERY small, with a horrible view from the window.

Rest of the week was spent in room #128 ... Now we're talking! What a room! And a private balcony to boot!

Breakfast = FANTASTIC! Prior to our going I read reviews where people were complaining of the $9.90 price (including tax & tip mind you), and that you could get a great breakfast for much less just around the corner at "La Cafeteria".

Right! I'm going to sit on a stool in a non air-conditioned hole in the wall, in 80-degree + weather, so I can save a few bucks. Get real. The 10-bucks is a bargain. And white table cloths in an air-conditioned room or, in a beautiful courtyard shaded by huge umbrella's. And the breakfast is complete. Anything and everything you would want. PERIOD!

The included FREE parking is fantastic. ... Oh, and the rooftop pool, unbelievable. Well worth a full afternoon of leisure and relaxing.

Delicious espresso is available (free) 24/7.

We took pictures but the ones already here are sufficient to give you a feel of the place.

Again I mention, extend a hand of friendship to the staff (say more than 'hello') and they will treat you like family. After a few days when we would get back to the hotel, it really did feel like we were home. The staff was that nice.

Enjoy!

“best Hotel in the old town ( zona colonial )”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2010

when you arrive at the hotel Palacio, you feel like at home. friendly reception combined with a perfect service, there is a gym at the third floor and even a swimmingpool on top at the fourth floor and everything is clean ,like you could eat from the floor..............breakfastbuffet is delicious, there is a german management and everything works 24 hours, which is not typical for santo domingo ! When I'm in town, I go just there.
thanks again to all the personal for the nice treatment.
