We stayed one night in Feburary and this was enough. The basic room ran about $100 and you had to sleep in a loft reached only by a very steep stairs. The room wasn't as clean as it could be and was definitely overpriced. The nicest feature was the patio area where you could eat a meagre free breakfast that... more

We loved this hotel. It was located on a quiet street yet within walking distance of all the sites/restaurants/shops of the Colonial Zone, El Conde, and the Malecon (a bit of a longer walk) We stayed in the Antoinetta room (#10). Perfect for a couple. The room was very clean and everything worked great. I'll have to admit it was... more

The Dona Elvira was a lovely jewel of a small inn in the Zona Colonial. Hilton, the manager was extremely nice and helpful, the included breakfast was lovely, the room , though plain , had soft sheets and good mattresses and more importantly was quiet. It is within walking distance to all historic sites, restaurants and souvenir type shopping. The... more

This B&B was a sancuary in the middle of the city under a mango tree. A very quaint lil place. We stayed during Carnaval for 3 nights. The Antoinette Room was a good deal for us on Expedia. The location was great for us, near dining, trendy bars and colonial sights. Also was a quick walk to the Carnaval. The... more

Chose this from Lonely Planet Author's choice, and stayed 2 or 3 nights. Great location, nice and comfortable rooms, quiet and relaxing. We had a chat with the hosts which were very nice people. Also, the entire staff was friendly and helpful. We ate a lunch or dinner in the restaurant one night, but that was a disappointment. It was... more

My girlfriend and I found this wonderfully relaxing place through the Lonely Planet travel guide. We booked a smaller room a month previous, but when we arrived decided on the biggest room, or suite rather. It had a large high ceilinged bedroom, huge doors leading out to our own small courtyard with outdoor shower, then our enclosed bathroom beyond that... more

The hotel is nice, but a little overpriced. The owner is beautiful and very flirtatious - always a plus in the Caribbean! I highly recommend you stay here. more

The review is bad and it is good. Actually the place is charming, but frankly speaking it has a lot of problems. The staff mostly very nice but no little english if you need it and one guy with zero personality and a bit of attitude, which was the night watchman. Of course you do not have a key to... more

This B&B is a surprise, humble exterior concealing charming colonial building, tastefully renovated and decorated in Caribbean stile. I liked museum-like appearance of the lobby, tranquil atmosphere of the internal yard with in-ground swimming pool and old tree providing a shade from mid-day sun. High-speed internet access at US$10/day is an unbeatable deal in Santo Domingo, excellent WiFi signal in... more

I stayed again with my daughter and friends in the hotel. Lonely Planet picked it as author's choice for 2006 in the Dom Rep. "A gem of a place" they say. Rightly so! I think the previous reviewer totally misses the point when he compares a 15 room Boutique Hotel to the 600 room Santo Domingo Hilton, opened in 2006,... more
