Super nice people but the room was very small with too much squished into it. No parking on the streets and only one “at the property.” The area was sketchy and the hostel was hard to find. Our room was off the lobby and we could hear people talking and other noises all night.

Staff were all friendly and helpful. The property seems really new. The bed was comfortable and AC was amazing after exploring in the heat. Front desk was really nice to let us check in early. We didn’t expect to be let in our room 3hrs before the check in time. That was a nice gesture. Very safe are to walk very to close to all the historic places and local restaurant. Overall it was a nice short stay..

The check in staff didn’t make any move to help us. Instead they served someone behind us that spoke Spanish. Even though our name was on the paper. When the manager came down he didn’t help us as well. The manager said his family owned the business and he is a lawyer. From the beginning we experienced RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. They refused to check us in. I’m happy we recieved refund from Expedia and removed ourself from an uncomfortable situation

It's an affordable and nice bed and breakfast hotel. Breakfast is really good. I saw a couple of reviews saying there aren't eggs, but we were served eggs, so that's a nice improvement. Staff are very kind and friendly, always willing to help. My only issue with the room is that the temperature of the hot water kept fluctuating, but it was a mild inconvenience, and I was generally pleased with my stay here. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a comfortable room in Santo Domingo for a decent price.
