I needed to stay one night in the Colonial Zone on short notice and would be going to the airport next morning. I arrived on a Friday am at noon with no reservation. I had come to this hotel based upon the recommendation of an associate who lives in the Colonial Zone and fortunately my new friend told me I could get a good room for $85USD.

Upon arriving the front desk said that they had rooms but they were $150USD/night but included breakfast. Well I was more than willing to find another hotel cheaper and graciously thanked the desk and attempted to depart whereby I was quickly asked "What would you like to pay?" ....now we are talking. I said very clearly that I wanted a nice room w/ breakfast included for $85+taxes or I would find another hotel. Well a smile was delivered and we had a deal.

I had a nice room on the fourth floor with same floor access to the 4th floor veranda. After going out for dinner I retired to this veranda with a fine handrolled Dominican cigar and a gold beer with a beautiful night view of that part of the Colonial Zone.

The room was very nice, bathroom great, overall property very clean and modern. Upon checkout I paid with cash and retrieved my previous credit card receipt but only after asking for it. They should have offered it up without me asking. They had an airport cab ready to go exactly on the time I asked and I had a nice ride to the airport.

I forgot to mention that the hotel is right at the corner of the beginning of the El Conde and the Hard Rock Cafe with a nice collection of sidewalk cafes.

Location: in the middle of historic centre, Colonial zone. Very closed to main pedestrian zone (El Conde), souvenir shops and historical monument. Not far from park Enriquillo – the one of the bus terminals (20-30 minutes walking).
About hotel: very nice and highly recommended to everyone, stops in SDo. Seems to be one of the several, managed by Dominican, but very good quality. Staff is nice, friendly, speaks English. The room is ok, the bed with canopy. New, modern bathroom, even bathrobe. Safe in room, costs 50 DR$/day. Free WIFI internet, the router is located on the 1st floor at reception, but we managed to get it at out room at second floor too.
Breakfast was a buffet with standard choice of hot dishes, season fruits and some cakes. Very nice.
Overall: the room could be a bigger and the view from window more scenic, but such small points could not overcome very good impression from hotel in overall. Highly recommended.

This is a nice hotel. Perfect for those who like to visit museums and restaurants and for those who rent a car.
I like it a lot because it's near to museums and to Hard Rock Cafe Restaurants, also If you rent a car you can easily travel through Santo Domingo.
This is not a luxurious hotel obviously but for those who like nice small hotels close the everything this is the one.

When we lived in Cabarete, north part of Dominican Republic, and needed to go to Capital for business, we stayed few time in this hotel. The location is great, in the Zona Colonial where everything is just walking distance. It's a great hotel for tourists that want to see the historic part of Santo Domingo. The staff is very friendly, speaks English as well, the breakfast, that is included in the price is excellent, buffet style, with many things to choose from. We would go there anytime
