The property itself is very nice. The main problem with this hotel is that several areas of the hotel have mold. I am highly allergic so this was problematic. Also, I paid for a higher end room and when it rained, there were 4 leaks in the celling, dripping on our bed. When I went to alert the front desk, they apologized, but did not have any other rooms available. We put towels under the leaks, but we needed to leave for a business dinner reservation. Upon returning, they offered us another room which had less amenities that what we had paid for. It was musty and in a far corner from the hotel. We were not offered anything for inconvenience other than the explanation.."it's a historic hotel."

Beautiful place - ugly customer service. I’ve purchased at least 70 days at this hotel through the years. Recently I booked 3 rooms. 2 for 7 nights, 1 for 3 nights. I mistakenly switched the names of the short stay and the longer stay. 1) The hotel would not let me use the remaining days when my friend left, 2) would not return my money, 3) denied Expedia request as well, 4) then want me to pay more to stay longer

Beautiful hotel! They have melded this historic building with the 1500’s feel and all of the modern conviences. The staff are so friendly and want to make your stay amazing. Pool was great to cool off by in the middle of the day, with a full bar and food. Downtown Santo Domingo is beautiful and full of life, you can explore a lot of the city just in walking distances from the hotel.

Felix was such a great concierge... He assisted us with our bags and gave us some history of the hotel while he helped us settle in! Hotel is gorgeous too. (Consider not driving into Santo Domingo in general though... Take a bus or something.) Great hotel. Great staff !
