“Still Has Charm After All These Years?”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

I am considering a trip to Santo Domingo, a city I haven't visited in 25 years. I used to vacation in the city several times a year; Hotel Santo Domingo, then a brand new property owned by Gulf + Western, was my favorite hotel. It was one of the first hotels built in "native decor" and the staff was charming. Sounds like, while the building itself can maybe use a bit of an update, the staff and the property is just as charming as ever. I am looking forward to returning to this lovely spot.

Stayed December 2011, traveled with family

“Home sweet home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

I stayed at the hotel twice and I have to admit I enjoyed my stays both times. The staff were very kind, besides that the hotel has a charm I don't have admired in other hotels, only at the Hispaniola that doesn't exist anymore. Last year i didn't feel well, and I have to stay everybody was anxious and very helpful, something pretty at such moments. I love the hotel

“Old and beautiful”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

The hotel is beautiful it has an old charm and the staff was friendly. There, the porters have assistants and the assistants have assistants in other words to open a door you have to go through at least to 3 different people but then I realized that this happens everywhere in the Dominican Republic.
Our rooms were old but this time without the charm but the price was reasonable for good internet connections and good breakfast and specially great staff made the difference.

Room Tip: Third floor (executive rooms) have a special elevator special check in and out and breakfast in the...

“Better second time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 7, 2012

Better than my last stay here, it's from a totally different era.

Breakfast was disappointing, the room was so so, the internet was not accessible, but it had a wonderful old school charm that only older hotels have.

The staff was a little snobby, but whatever. Did I mention that this place has charm?

Room Tip: Get an ocean view room

“Beautiful Hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 20, 2012

This hotel was very beautiful. The hotel staff was friendly and courteous . The food was so excellent. I arrived at 1:30 am because my flight had changed. Although it was so early in the am the staff greated me with such kindness. I would like to mention one person in particular that went over and beyond and that was Salvador. He enjoys his job and it makes me want to choose Hotel Santo Domingo again whenever I'm in Santo Domingo. Great Job!!!!!!!!
