Upon my arrival at Dona Elvira, in Dominican Republic, I felt as if I had entered a hotel in Port-au-Prince, that I had visited 2 years prior. The front desk staff was Haitian and the lively music playing in the background was Compas, not Merengue. The next moring while having breakfast, my wife decided to ask the friendly cooks a... more

A great little hotel. Quiet, clean, but the rooms are rather small and for 110$US a night, I thought is was slightly overpriced. Still, very nice hotel, good breakfast, clean pool and very centrally located. more

This is a fantastic place to stay in - beautiful, safe and clean. I had originally booked the room with the steep staircase but after I told them that I am pregnant and the stairs are too steep, they upgraded me to a different room (without an extra charge). Everyone has been great and helpful. Its almost like a home... more

Dona Elvira is a laid-back interesting place to stay in the old Zona Colonial in Santo Domingo. I thought I had booked because of Trip Advisor advice as I usually do, but in thinking back I believe it was because the Lonely Planet guidebook had influenced my choice. Looking over some of the reviews on Trip Advisor, I would say... more

We stayed one night in Feburary and this was enough. The basic room ran about $100 and you had to sleep in a loft reached only by a very steep stairs. The room wasn't as clean as it could be and was definitely overpriced. The nicest feature was the patio area where you could eat a meagre free breakfast that... more

We loved this hotel. It was located on a quiet street yet within walking distance of all the sites/restaurants/shops of the Colonial Zone, El Conde, and the Malecon (a bit of a longer walk) We stayed in the Antoinetta room (#10). Perfect for a couple. The room was very clean and everything worked great. I'll have to admit it was... more

The Dona Elvira was a lovely jewel of a small inn in the Zona Colonial. Hilton, the manager was extremely nice and helpful, the included breakfast was lovely, the room , though plain , had soft sheets and good mattresses and more importantly was quiet. It is within walking distance to all historic sites, restaurants and souvenir type shopping. The... more

This B&B was a sancuary in the middle of the city under a mango tree. A very quaint lil place. We stayed during Carnaval for 3 nights. The Antoinette Room was a good deal for us on Expedia. The location was great for us, near dining, trendy bars and colonial sights. Also was a quick walk to the Carnaval. The... more

Chose this from Lonely Planet Author's choice, and stayed 2 or 3 nights. Great location, nice and comfortable rooms, quiet and relaxing. We had a chat with the hosts which were very nice people. Also, the entire staff was friendly and helpful. We ate a lunch or dinner in the restaurant one night, but that was a disappointment. It was... more

My girlfriend and I found this wonderfully relaxing place through the Lonely Planet travel guide. We booked a smaller room a month previous, but when we arrived decided on the biggest room, or suite rather. It had a large high ceilinged bedroom, huge doors leading out to our own small courtyard with outdoor shower, then our enclosed bathroom beyond that... more
