Absolutely wonderful hotel, from the atmosphere, staff, pool, room and restaurant.

Title: Great Historic Charm but Noisy Rooms I recently stayed at this hotel, which is housed in a beautiful 16th-century building that once belonged to the governor of Hispaniola. The historic charm is undeniable, and the interior has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. However, my room faced the main road and the port, which meant a lot of noise and exhaust fumes from traffic. Unfortunately, the windows did not provide sufficient sound insulation, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. On the bright side, the breakfast was absolutely fantastic—great variety and quality. If you’re sensitive to noise, I’d recommend requesting a room facing the courtyard.

The Hotel's main standout feature is the location and the pool. Service is average, wifi is very poor

Excellent attention to detail room was clean and well maintained thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need. Staff very attentive and welcoming, from check in to check out.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location. I highly recommend staying at this historic hotel when visiting Santo Domingo. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, and they offer free parking, which is hard to find in a central location. I think the rooms should be upgraded. While our room was attractive, the toilet and sink were outdated, and the toilet had a crack in the neck. The toilet seat was also too small for the toilet. Additionally, the air conditioner needs to be updated. I notice the unit does not go below some specific temperature. It’s quite noisy early in the morning, and you can hear people talking outside the hall door, likely because of inadequate door seals. Otherwise, I will recommend it.

Had the most amazing time!!!! The hotel is absolutely beautiful! The staff were so kind and friendly- very attentive.
