I have stayed at the Beaterio at least 5 times over the past two years. Each time has been excellent. This is truly my home away from home in Santo Domingo. A hidden gem. The hotel is convenient to El Conde and is right on Parque Duarte. There's a little bodega right next door.
The service at the hotel is outstanding. The complimentary breakfast: fresh juice, coffee, toast, homemade marmelade, and fresh fruit is outstanding. I could site in the main salon and read all day and listen to the sounds of the street. The upstairs patio is a great place to watch the sun set over Parque Duarte and have a drink. The hotel is full of little nooks and cranies that are just lovely to sit.
The rooms are terrific. It's like going back in time. Which is to probably say that the TVs and A/C could use some updating. This hotel is French owned and the staff speaks both French/Creole and Spanish. The price is terrific for the value. The hotel is safe and secure. I will be back again and again.
