Old hotel on the waterfront in Santo Domingo. Entire place needs a renovation. i wouldn't eat at the restaurant as it is overpriced and the food is below average. The hotel is also used as a banquet hall for weddings and seminars so expect a very loud and busy lobby at all times. There is a casino adjacent to the... More

The hotel was very clean and modern. The location should be good for night life and resturants. Lots of crime in the area and the water front was nasty and poluted. The main street is very busy with crime and traffic. Air pollution is a problem. the pool was very nice and the spa was excellent.

My friends booked the rooms in that hotel and it was ok; depending on which side you get a room, the ocean view is wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful; foos was good but things are kind of expensive.

After feeling ambivalent about our choice of hotel for Santo Domingo, I'm very glad we opted to stay here. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and we found our room more than comfortable. We had booked through booking.com and not only were great rates honored, our room request (quiet, ocean-view) were as well. Lovely pool. My only complaint was... More

Good location. Check-in and check-out are very slow compared to most of the hotels I have stayed. The special rate on the weekends are great, around US$60. For its normal price of $120, I do not think it is quite worth it. The rooms are ok.

The Meliá is located on George Washington Ave. (El Malecón) and allows one easy access to the seaside walkway. It is overall a good hotel but needs a bit of a facelift as it feels somewhat dated. For the price, I would tend to choose the Hilton over the Meliá as I find it to be cheerier and newer in... More

After staying more than 7 months due to work I must say this is an amazing hotel. The service is good, they always have a smile on their faces. The food in the restaurants are just ok. I recommend other nearby places. The beds are clean and comfy!

We chose this hotel for its location—not far from the Colonial Zone as well as for the more modern décor and the cost. We only stayed two nights and were very impressed with the level of service for the price. We were greeted with welcome drinks and received a short orientation tour of the hotel on our way to the...
