What guests think

Across recent reviews of Nilka Hotel Boutique, travellers praise the friendly, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a central location near the Malecón, with many highlighting the tasty, made to order breakfast as a standout.

Common drawbacks include weak or lobby‑only Wi‑Fi, some street and internal noise, and occasional bathroom odors or small bathrooms. Facilities noted include a rooftop terrace with a jacuzzi or small pool, private parking, and a rooftop bar area, but there is no elevator and some construction was observed. Several guests were surprised by a cash‑only payment policy, and two reported reservation issues. Expect a well located, tidy stay with warm service and a few practical trade‑offs.

This little hotel is a gem. Updated and clean, it is a star amongst the many hotels we’ve frequented in the DR. It was inexpensive, close to the marina and had a great breakfast included in the hotel price. Vanessa at the front desk was delightful. It lacks amenities like a pool, restaurant, gym, etc, but if that stuff isn’t important, this is an excellent choice.

CASH ONLY! Be prepared for this. The staff was incredibly friendly. Check in and out was easy and fast. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Free off the street parking. This hotel is located fairly close to everything you need. We ate at the restaurant there for dinner, service was good and food was ok. Breakfast in the morning was made to order. Only a couple options but was nice before we got on with our trip. Only negative thing I can say is the water was cold when we first tried to shower. The front desk said it was being addressed. We waited a bit and then it was hot. So they did resolve the issue quickly. Overall it was a great overnight stay for us. Nice rooms, ac was perfect and the breakfast in the morning was an added bonus! Would recommend!

I stayed with my 2 lady friends. We came to Samana to see the whales. The hotel was so immediately inviting on entering the lobby. Every detail from the lovely wall waterfall and greenery as you enter, the striking art displays and the pleasant and helpful young lady at the desk made our stay a lovely experience. The included full breakfast on the rooftop was fresh and delicious. The servers were pleasant, quick and attentive. We also had dinner in the ground floor restaurant. Again, the service was excellent and the food delicious. Prices are very reasonable. The receptionist was always pleasant and helpful. She was able to let us check in early. She also arranged a taxi for us to El Limón at a very reasonable price. The hotel location is just a few minutes walk to the Malecon and the waterfront. Restaurants, shops, a bank and a pharmacy are in just a short walk. I highly recommend and will return when visiting the area.

The staff is friendly and well mannered specially Jose at the front desk, bell staff was prompt and friendly. The morning team at the breakfast area was cheerful and friendly. The food selection was fresh and delicious. No credit cards accepted only cash. There is no information or details on the Hotels.com website it coughs us by surprise thankfully we had enough cash on hand. It would be nice if the staff knew a little information of things to do or history hi lights. We will be back!!
