I have stayed 3 times at this hotel, during the past month, and this is a combination of my conclusions: List of problems: 1) Rooms are old and oftentimes dirty, bathroom mouldy, weak shower. Pillows are very weak, so is the bed, this is definitely not a 5 star or 4 star hotel, i have stayed in 2 stars better... more

Knowing the Sol Melia hotels from Spain I had the expectation of a decent and clean accomodation, but was very disappointed. The Melia Santo Domingo is totally outdated to say the least. Carpets in the rooms are completely worn out, doors and furniture damaged, dirty rooms, no ventilation in the bathroom, hence mouldy. Look at the pictures, they speak for... more

This hotel claims to be 5 stars but isn't. They do what they do in their own time (the check in and check out procedure are the slowest I have encountered anywhere) but that's it. They won't allow anyone in your room but the common areas are so noisy (there was a motivational conference on when I checked out that... more

This was our 3rd time at the Melia Santo Domingo. Previously we had stayed at the Jaragua, next door, which is also great. After a 3-hour bus trip from Punta Cana (you could also take a 30 min. plane ride), we arrived in Santo Domingo at the Melia, George Washington Ave. which everyone calls the Malecon. My husband had business... more

We stayed at the Melia just for 3nights. I picked this hotel because of the location and to try something new, and to be honest we loved it. We've stayed at other business like small hotels in the city and they were horrible compared to this one. I simply loved the service. We decided to stay here since we have... more

First of all the location is the biggest plus to this hotel. It’s reasonably close to both the airport and the Colonial Zone. At first glance the hotel looks really nice. The lobby is spacious and there are very pretty light and water features throughout. We were given a glass of juice upon check in, which was appreciated. There are... more

Stayed at the Melia Sto.Domingo for business purposes in April 2009. While the hotel was acceptable (albeit not up to the standard of other Melia hotels I´ve been to - e.g. Melia Lima); I was recently informed by my bank about a suspected credit card fraud in the Dominican republic - and this hotel was the ONLY place in this... more

This waterfront hotel is well located with a nice view of Malecón. Internet connection is fast and stable, perfect for large online meetings or calls. One of my colleagues complained that the restaurant offered just a few dishes, but my opinion is that the food is delicious (e.g.: the "Currasco", juicy imported beefsteak). Rooms are comfortable enough, with good beds... more

We stayed one night at this hotel due to a canceled flight. The room was adequate and the location seemed fine but the buffet is a nightmare. We're not picky eaters but we couldn't eat anything there. The headwaiter had a sertious attitude problem - he was extremely rude and very condesending although I can't imagine why. Working in that... more
