What guests think
At Hotel Conde de Penalba, travellers highlight the unbeatable central location in the Zona Colonial by Parque Colón, making sightseeing easy, while noting the lively street scene brings significant noise late at night and early mornings.
Many guests praise the friendly, helpful staff, though a few cite inconsistent reception, early check-in fees, and occasional mishandled requests. Rooms are comfortable with strong air conditioning and some charming balcony views, but several are small with tight bathrooms, and occasional TV or Wi-Fi issues appear. The historic building lacks an elevator, parking is off site and paid, and the ground-floor cafe is popular even as breakfast value and quality receive mixed feedback. Expect a characterful, convenient stay best for travellers who don’t mind stairs and a busy ambience.

This was the first time staying at this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. Everything is within walking distance which worked for us since we didn’t have a car. The staff was great and attentive and the food at their restaurant was great. But the coffee is what I enjoy the most!!! Definitely recommend

When I fly out of or visit Santo Domingo I usually stay here. The location is great. It can sometimes be loud because of people constantly blowing their horns on the street regardless of what time it is. You can also hear the people in the next room pretty easily. The restaurant downstairs is good and it's a great place for people watching. The Rooms are nice. Extremely comfortable beds, good AC and plenty of hot water. The staff is very helpful an accomidating. There are 3 things that I do not like. They don't give you an iron upon request. They charge you to have someone iron your clothes. I arrived later in the day and the "iron person" had gone home. So I did not have ironed clothes to wear. Also I was charged 320 pesos for the "iron person" to iron 1 pair of shorts and a T-shirt. The second thing is in Santo Domingo you can not drink the water. If you need water for prescriptions or to brush your teeth they want you to buy one from your minibar. Throw in a 10 pesos bottle of water with a stay. And lastly they have a safe in the room but don't give you a key. I actually think they charge you for use of the safe. That is wrong. No place is perfect but in my opinion these things should be addressed.

Obviously the best location in the city. Rooms were very clean and reasonably priced. Closest parking is 2 blocks away and costs $1 per hour, just to prepare. I’d stay here over other “higher end “ hotels in the city though due to the location.

The property is ok in a pinch. Here are the issues: no hot water/water pressure for 2.5 days, given room on first floor-street noise as well as noise from reception was insupportable, no safe key was given at check in so valuables couldn’t be locked up.

The location is VERY central, on one of the main square of the old town (zona colonial). It is great to go around and visit the city, but is is very busy with many restaurants, lots of people singing on the square, etc. So get very good ear plugs or do not expect to have silence outside of the hotel before 1 or 2 am. Even better go out to dance and come back only in the early morning. The staff is nice and the rooms are clean and well maintained. There a no elevator, so expect to climb quite a few steps.

We stayed in the 4th floor balcony room - the view was amazing and the music coming from the square below gave such great vibes. Location was great, within walking distance to all historical buildings and many great restaurants. The room was clean, fresh towels every day, staff was pleasant. We would 1000% stay here again!

It was a great stay except that the tv wouldn’t work. Front desk came and tried but to no avail. He said he will tell his supervisor. I checked out the following morning and there was no mention about the issue we had. Could have given us a breakfast on the house or some kind of gift. We came back to our room early to watch a movie. He said the other rooms have signal.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful hotel. The hotel and rooms were very tastefully decorated with modern gold and bronze touches in a cozy older building. Room 402 opens onto a most charming balcony offering incredible views over the square and busy streets of Zona Colonial. You can hear the live music wafting through the balcony doors, which makes for an especially romantic stay. Unfortunately you can also hear other loud street sounds (e.g. street cleaner power washing the square every night around midnight) but it's a tiny price to pay for such a well located spot. Some of our favourite monuments were within minutes walk and the sweetest cafe was just a block away. For dining, you can order from the restaurant downstairs which had a wide variety of tasty local and international dishes. Excellent service from all, hotel and restaurant staff. I'd recommend providing a small kettle, tea area for guests as you had to buy a tea from the restaurant whenever you needed some. Not sure if you could access an iron as none were in the room, but the small fridge did come well stocked (for purchase) and the bathroom had some toiletries included.

It is great to go around and visit the city, but is is very busy with many restaurants, lots of people singing on the square, etc. So get very good ear plugs or do not expect to have silence outside of the hotel before 1 or 2 am. Even better go out to dance and come back only in the early morning. The staff is nice and the rooms are clean and well maintained. There a no elevator, so expect to climb quite a few steps.

Muy bonito y cuidado el hotel, excelente ubicación. Por estar en pleno centro si toca mucho el ruido en la noche de fiestas, carros, gritos, pero lo vale

Great staff, and the hotel is right on Parque Colon, with many inside/outside restaurants.

Es un hotel muy bien ubicado. Personal amable y servicial. Habitación amplia y con buenas camas. El tema del parque puede llegar a ser frustrante pero entiendo que solo unos pocos hoteles de la Zona Colonial tienen parqueo. Desayunar al aire libre en la cafetería del hotel fue un plus que disfrutamos mucho.

This was the first time staying at this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. Everything is within walking distance which worked for us since we didn’t have a car. The staff was great and attentive and the food at their restaurant was great. But the coffee is what I enjoy the most!!! Definitely recommend

Hôtel sur place principale de la zone coloniale donc bien situé mais du coup avec beaucoup de bruits tard dans la nuit. Une nuit suffit. Chambre superieure agréable avec bonne literie. Petite salle d eau mais satisfaisant. Point négatif le petit déjeuner au restaurant indépendant en bas de l hôtel :vraiment très sommaire.

Localização é excelente. Vai-se a pé a todos os pontos turísticos. Lugar seguro e movimentado dia e noite. O hotel é todo reformado, ar condicionado excelente. Quartos são bastante pequenos, assim como o banheiro. Tamanho de quartos hotel IBIS. Café da manhã é ruim. Nao vale a pena. É servido no restaurante aberto à rua, há um cardápio reduzidíssimo. Melhor ir ao restaurante e pagar pelo cafe da manha. Haverá mais opções.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful hotel. The hotel and rooms were very tastefully decorated with modern gold and bronze touches in a cozy older building. Room 402 opens onto a most charming balcony offering incredible views over the square and busy streets of Zona Colonial. You can hear the live music wafting through the balcony doors, which makes for an especially romantic stay. Unfortunately you can also hear other loud street sounds (e.g. street cleaner power washing the square every night around midnight) but it's a tiny price to pay for such a well located spot. Some of our favourite monuments were within minutes walk and the sweetest cafe was just a block away. For dining, you can order from the restaurant downstairs which had a wide variety of tasty local and international dishes. Excellent service from all, hotel and restaurant staff. I'd recommend providing a small kettle, tea area for guests as you had to buy a tea from the restaurant whenever you needed some. Not sure if you could access an iron as none were in the room, but the small fridge did come well stocked (for purchase) and the bathroom had some toiletries included.

Such a fantastic historical hotel! Balcony suite on 4th floor was exceptional. In the middle of all the history. Key must be in wall slot to operate lights & a/c, this is genius. Staff is amazing. Hotel Restaurant is excellent, great coffee ☕️. Mellow live instrumental music in the evening adds to the atmosphere. Quad is gorgeous. So happy to have found this gem. It was such a highlight of our adventure. Staff got us a cab to bus station to our next destination. All super sweet & fair pricing. I felt very safe & even fancy here ;) So happy!

AMAZING! So happy I stayed here. Coolest experience possible. The history, the view. I hope all rooms have a balcony, idk. The suite on the 4th floor right under the sign was worth walking the stairs & it’s roomy. We stayed in another room as well that was also nice, it was much smaller. The staff was super helpful & sweet even with our language barrier. They will get you a fair priced cab super fast. The cafe was excellent, coffee is so good. The area is so fun to explore. This is the place to stay to explore historical SD. You need at least 1 solid day here that’s what we had with 2 nights at hotel. Then we were off to Las Terrenas by bus which was all a great experience as well. There we stayed at Costarena. Not fancy, but perfectly basic & well centered to best beaches & town for walking. Just to mention.
