Hotels near Vela Shopping Center, Santo Domingo

I have been staying for long time at the Homewood Suites in Santo Domingo, DR. This an excellent hotel, with extremely good customer service. Their personnel go above and beyond to accommodate you and make your stay enjoyable. I recommend this hotel.

The rooms are super big and the facilities are very new. We are just across the road from the beach. Unfortunately, our room is relatively low and does not face the sea. However, I only stayed for one night, and I checked out at noon to 2 am, which had little effect. Breakfast is average, for Chinese, there are few choices. The hotel is integrated with the casino and the gate is separated. Overall the hotel is very good, next time I consider to choose this one, but be sure to choose a high-level sea room

Overall the hotel is still very good and the environment is really comfortable. I will come to this hotel next time I come to Dominica. And very close to the sea, the scenery is very good

María in housekeeping was extremely attentive and helpful. I love this hotel. It always feels like home! From reception, rooom service, poolside, and beyond. This is where you go when you want to feel like home without any distractions. I highly recommend it!

Had to change plans when the power went out at our ARBNB and found this place on line and booked it. It was a blessing the power went out as this place was amazing . Small and quiet with clean rooms and a great staff who accommodated our every need from umbrellas to doing our laundry . Only a block off from. the main drag in Colonial district so we could walk everywhere and felt very safe . Will stay here again .

The hotel is a monastery remodeled, very retro and beautifully visual. The rooms are small, but the public areas are great, whether it's the living room, the dining room or the terrace on the top floor. Breakfast is simple but nutritious. The girl at the front desk was very good at English, warm and thoughtful, and all the questions of the visitors who came over for the first time were answered patiently. Great location, next door is the oldest woman monastery, a great place to take pictures of the sunset. The ancient city is not big. It takes only 5-10 minutes to walk to any famous attraction from the hotel. It is also very close to the only Chinatown in many countries. You can find delicious Chinese food in 15 minutes before going straight. It is so convenient! It’s okay to hit Uber at the door of the hotel to go further. The taxi is also parked at the door of the hotel at any time, and the small square diagonally opposite is very quiet. It is a worthwhile hotel.

The rooms were small but nice and very clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location is great as a departure point for exploring the Zona Colonial, and our room on the third floor was surprisingly quiet above the hustle and bustle of the street. Sweet little balcony too. Decent restaurant and coffee shop on the ground level (unfortunately, with a cigar factory right next door), and several excellent restaurants close by (Jalao and Buche are both highly recommended). This is not a place of great luxury, but the facility was just fine, with a great location at a reasonable price.

I get my reservation though the sales department. The person I deal with is very courteous, 1. I agree with couple of bad reviews here,,,,, Key issues, room outdated and moist smell on rooms and hallways, ( they are trying to fix the issues with dehumidifiers throughout the floor's hallway.... 2. front desk : they have inexperience front desk agents..... ( looks like no customer service skills training is happening at this location.... 3. to give the benefit of the doubt, this location has what is called club members that are not guest of the hotel, but they use the facility's gym, pool, sauna, and amenities from the hotel. so I think this ism the reason why the front desk and some of their staff lacks of just serv. skills. mix of people ...... and locals that visit or are member of the club are the med high class of the country and treat staff like if they are slaves..... so part of the problem lays in that, they try..... talking about the front desk staff....... 4. other staffs, they think they know everything..... one thing that bothers the most is when someone is trying to cover a fault with an excuse that doesn't even make sense.... please don't BS a Bs'r. 5. Rooms: other than having a moist smell, they lack of insulation ( sound proofing) you can hear everything that is going on on the other room, and when I say everything, is EVERYTHING..... my 11 years old asked me if they were killing someone on the other room..... 6. ammeneeties and restaurant staff, very courteous, and pleasant tried to accommodate me as much as they could possible can...... 7. Staff at 8th floor. they have a cigar lounge up there and more of a pleasant view away from most locals that visit the facility...... 8. if you want to have a nice sleep try executive rooms. everything is different.... by the way THIS IS A VERY CHEAP ($$$$$$ WISE) HOTEL.

My layover in SDQ was utilized for resting. I did enjoy my room. It was clean with all the amenities. I enjoyed sleeping long hours without any interruptions. The members of Staff were pleasant and service in the restaurant was quick. The hotel is in close proximity to the SDQ airport and was ideal for my layover. Taxis were available at the behest of the front desk.
