If you’re looking for comfort and beauty at the same time, this is the place to go. The hotel is so rich in history that it is a museum in itself. However, the real gems are their staff. They’re very friendly and will accommodate to all your needs. I would stay again in this hotel if I’m back in Sto Domingo.

The Hotel was perfect, great staff. The only area of improvement would be the restaurant. Do not waste your time dining at the hotel, you will be disappointed, instead walk to one of the restaurants in the area. It’s safe, fun and a more satisfactory experience.
