The hotel was in walking distance to most of the sights of Santo Domingo. But even the accomodation itself is a treasure. The property is very charming and we felt welcome immediatly. On top of all that, the Service was extraordinary. There was nothing the staff could not organize. I would defintly book here again when I am back.

It’s in Zona near Ballittini Hotel and The Large Church. It has a nice quiet traditional vibe. My room 14, was small but it was cleaned everyday. AC , ceiling fan and TV all worked. No condiments given except one roll of toilet paper and one towel which is not changed daily. Breakfast was Traditional American or Traditional Dominican. The Fresh Juice was good. The staff is very nice. They are there to help but not overbearing. Doors are locked at night and must be let in by staff. PLEASE BE PATIENT and Knock Softly. I would recommend for short stays

Jacob

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location is great, but this hotel needs some re-investment. Nowhere to unpack except a very old, dusty, and musty-smelling cabinet. TV too large for the table it sits on, so it leans weirdly against the wall. Terrible shower water pressure and often no hot water. Very harsh lighting. Somewhat standoffish staff who were not always available. No parking, despite what the Expedia listing said. Double bed instead of the Queen we booked. There were other hotels on the block that I found myself wishing I had booked for a little more money instead.

The shower is cold, the breakfast is poor and the room is noisy. Everything else is just adequate. All little things. The toilet paper holder is upside down. The roll falls off. Don't touch the desk, it will fall apart. No trim around the door. Peeling wall paper. Mismatched furniture. There's no attention to details. What are the things like that you can't see. I'm in my regular hotel now. It was full. I know why Hotel Dona Elvira had available rooms. Only use as a last resort.

My goodness: None of what was advertised

The top four reasons I filtered were a fail . Said room was sound proof- my room was in the lobby literally. Said there was parking- none! Pool- very small and murky color. Breakfast- didn’t have items that were listed from the three dishes. Hot water had to be demanded
