Hotels near Mercado Modelo, Santo Domingo

Casas del XVI is a truly special place—understated yet luxurious. The property is impeccably clean, the staff are warm and welcoming, and every detail feels thoughtful and unique. Each courtyard has its own distinct charm, making the experience feel intimate and personal. The dining was excellent, beautifully prepared and memorable. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer and never leave.

+++++ One of the best experiences in Dominican Republic. Antique building, interior, breakfast, service and help from employees: all this made the staying very pleasant and comfortable. - the sink was leaking. The repairman came fast, however the problem appeared again after. Suggestion: make available hot water during the day for the guests without a need to ask for it on reception.

Rested in February 2025 , next to the hotel casino and left of the hotel there is a supermarket good, liked also the roof pool in general everything is cleanly beautiful and comfortable, Russian staff does not speak

It was excellent we are will come back 100%

I had stayed here before the pandemic about 3 times. The property is very clean, it is located in the older ”colonial” part of the city. Traffic in this area is a nightmare due to the narrow streets. SAFE area, police presence all over. The GOOD: Clean, Safe, Staff Friendly, plenty of places nearby to eat. Breakfast supplied is ample and of decent quality, food for linch or dinner in the hotel restaurant is good though limited menu, space for seating is very limited inside the restaurant, water pressure in the shower is excellent the room safe is large. The BAD: Room Small like an IBIS, Bathroom smaller than an IBIS, A/C in my room was ”marginal” at best and previous stays here noticed this, Elevator very slow, the worst part this is not a business hotel. While the Internet provided is decent, there is NO work space available at all in the rooms. NO electrical outlets available all are hidden behind furniture or the bed and no desk type area. Had to charge my phone in the bathroom outlet and use computer on battery. Also had a room phone and minor toilet issue which I reported twice and nothing was done. DO NOT have the hotel arrange for the hotel taxi to drive you to the airport cost is $50.oo ! Make your own arrangements or get an UBER. CONCLUSION: While on vacation for a couple of days this is a Nice place to stay and see the colonial sights and enjoy the atmosphere. However, ”on business” this is not the place to stay. I will be returning on business for a longer stay in late January or early February, unfortunately I will have to stay elsewhere.

Fueron muy diligentes solicite que me hicieran algo especial para el cumpleaños de pareja y me guardaron todo listo! Parqueo accesible, buena ubicación con lugares cerca de recreación El desayuno estuvo bien; la vista de la habitación espectacular 🧡 El único inconveniente fue que el agua caliente no funcionó y solicite cambio de habitación y en la otra habitación tampoco funcionó el agua caliente! Y la claridad de la luz del pasillo entraba por espacio de puerta de la habitación! general

Very good experience, the hotel is clean and the best thing is one of the few hotels in Santo Domingo that have late checkout. The parking can be difficult to find, make sure you enter from the street Fantino Falcon

The hotel is located a bit away from the center in a very good and safe area with restaurants nearby. The reception is very friendly; our room wasn't ready, but we were immediately upgraded to another room. The breakfast is very extensive. The pool with a Jacuzzi area is very large and has plenty of loungers and bar service. There is ample parking for self-drivers.

I liked the hotel and they gave me the access two hours before check-in.

Pro: -safe area even at night, because just beside the militery area of the presidential palace, even at 10pm there is still a grocery open. - Breakfast is simple but good enough: toast with cheese and ham, coffee and a boiled egg. -Spacious and clean room, friendly staff, can refill drinking water. -500m walking to the gate of the colonial area. - Taxi stand is at the same street - Nice, spacious outdoor, sitting area - A personal fridge in the room Cons: -A bit noisy from the road/a bar until around midnight. - Shower is not really hot (only slightly warm).
