I enjoyed my stay.

i like everything about the property and it 's well located

The hotel is centrally located in the Colonial zone near restaurants, bars & nightlife. The hotel was clean with friendly staff & nice breakfast every morning. Would stay there again.

I liked most except i feel like it was a bit cozy the room the shower even the elevator was small, and the tv remote didn't even work i had to get up and change the channels everytime

The staff was super attentive, respectful and available at all times

The property is aging and it shows; however, the staff is welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is fantastic: fresh fruit and juice and local recipes along with cereal, toast and eggs.

Nice staff

I loved this hotel. It's perfectly located in the heart of the Colonial City, just a few steps from Parque Colón. I picked this hotel because of its parking, which is a great feature. Parking is safe and inside the property. The WIFI in the hotel works great (I was in a 2 hours virtual meeting without a problem). I totally recommend it! I'm definitely staying at Hodelpa Caribe Colonia on my next trip to Santo Domingo.

They need to have ice machines on each floor. Couldn’t get ice unless I went down to the restaurant . No microwave in room

construction was taking place during the day that made it impossible to stay in the room during the day

Its very nice place ...very clean and location..people very friendly

Very good location, courteous staff.Close to shopping and the old city

Staff is very friendly. Breakfast was good. Very clean.

Most of the staff were amazing and went out of their way to be hospitable. I had a large issue with one of the receptionists who kept giving us a hard time. First, at check-in we received differential treatment, and refusal to allow 4 guests in our room with double beds. Next we received repeated harassing phone calls to our room when family members, who checked-out earlier in the day, came to pick up their luggage from our room. This receptionist already knew we were traveling with family as a large group of them were present when we checked-in. His explanation was that guests needed to present with ID before entering which he told us after the fact. I have never stayed at a hotel that sent harassing calls and required photocopies of passports and ID of ALL people under a reservation before booking. If it were not for this individual I would return there on my next trip.

Very good location and great breakfast, also the staff was helpful

Everything was very nice. I thought the restaurant staff could flash a few more smiles and be more prompt in greeting customers with a menu when they arrive the restaurant. On one occasion, I had to wait almost 5 minutes while the employee busied herself behind the counter with seemingly unimportant matters. Like many hotels, this hotel needs to drill into its employees every day the motto that "The hotel guest is the most important person in the hotel"

Santo Domingo in general, is not a safe place for tourist. Anything outside of the resort is at your own risk. Also, customer service is not adhered to or welcomed. There are many location with better security, comfort, and customer service. I recommend you go there instead of Santo Domingo.
