The hotel is perfectly situated close to many restaurants and located in one of the safest neighborhood in Santo Domingo. It is less than 1 block away from the Malecón of Santo Domingo and a short taxi ride to all tourist attractions. The room was adequate in side for 2 people and although the housekeeping took until the late afternoon to clean the room, it was always done very well. This is a small hotel with a small pool in the rear and has a quaint feeling, without lacking luster. The only shortcomings were minor. Breakfast is served outdoors, which for a tropical location is no big deal, unless it rains. The hallways echo sounds, which can be disruptive since not all guests have common sense to be quiet at late hours. Perhaps the hotel would be better if they offer earplugs to guests who want more quiet at night. We always travel with our own and the noise did not bother us during the night, but I can see how it could be an issue to some. The staff was always helpful and friendly. The hotel does not offer currency exchange. We would stay again.
