Booked for a week and was charged about $75 per night. Breakfast sucks, not enough fruits and definitely not continental. Rooms are not properly cleaned, lots of dust behind the TV and that drove my allergies wild. Had to check out because was not satisfied. AirBnB for the win!!!

Good facilities, working wifi, clean room. Breakfast unfortunately rather unappetizing. Friendly staff. Good security, ambitious guards checking your comings and goings. Not located in, but not too far from, the attractive zona colonial.

Stayed here in October '05 and the room was nice. Clean, hot water, jacuzzi tub, fridge. Good security for parking and b'fast included. Stayed in August 2006 in the new wing they were adding in October when I was there before. Room was awesome. Queen bed, all fresh tiles, tv, cold air, nice shower with hot water, really nice. And was only $55 for the night.

Excellent service, professional personal. I stayed 7 days and 7 nights from the beginning to end was a great experience.
I highly recommend this place, the rooms are very clean, the food is excellent with fairly price. The Hotel is well located in the middle of the city, there’s plenty business all around.
Definitely I will come back to this place.

I visited Dominican Republic for about two weeks. I stayed in many good hotels. My last two nights I decided to try the La Casona Dorada hotel (cheap hotel) on Avenida Independencia in the Gascue section of Santo Domingo. The room was small and ugly with no safe. The room had a balcony and was on the second floor. On my last night in Santo Domingo I left this hotel around 5:30 pm. I returned to my room at around 5:30am the next morning. All of my electronics that were in the room were stolen, ipod, portable computer (laptop), digital camera, cell phones and other items. I was not happy.

I went to the guys who work at the hotel and asked them to call the police. They refused. I then walked to the V Centenario Hotel on the malecon and asked them to call the police for me. The person at the V Centenario called the police and told me to wait. I waited for over 30 minutes and no police. I then asked what I should do. They told me I should take a taxi to the police station. I took a taxi to the Nacional Police, I believe this small police station was on Avenida Bolivar. There were a few guys dressed in plain clothes sitting on the steps of this police station. I explained that my room had been broken into and robbed at the La Casona Dorada hotel. They told to come back at 9am to file a report. I then walked from this police station back to the La Casona Dorada hotel.

When I got back to the La Casona Dorada Hotel there was a Politur police officer there. I showed him my room and he then took me to the politur police station in Zona Colonial. I had to wait in this police station for about 2 hours for the Colonel to arrive.

After the Colonel of the Politur arrived we drove back to the La Casona Dorada hotel. The Colonel of the Politur Police spoke with the management of the hotel. I was told that the hotel would reimburse me for the items that were stolen. My stuff was stolen about two months ago and I have not received anything. The people at the hotel la casona dorada never apologized, never said sorry, nothing. I have been dealing with their insurance company on almost a daily basis and the last thing the insurance company said is that there is a problem with the coverage and that during Semana Santa no one works, so I was told I would have to wait till next week.

I have written the Dominican Tourism office about this experience and I never received a response back.

Supposedly the thieves broke one of the metal bars that were above the balcony, they then opened the sliding door that led from the room to the balcony. I have stayed at other hotels in the Dominican Republic with sliding balcony doors and they had a metal pin that slid into a hole in the doors that would prevent them being slid open. The balcony doors at the La Casona Dorada Hotel did not have a metal pin. I locked the sliding doors before I exited my room.

The metal bars protecting the room from the outside were useless. Seems the thieves broke one very easily with no one hearing a thing and then easily broke the lock on the sliding door. No safe in the room.

In those two weeks in Dominican Republic I dropped a lot of money on expensive hotels, resturants, 26% taxes. My mistake was staying for two nights at the cheap La Casona Dorada Hotel. I spent my last day with the police, getting fingerprinted, I visited the main police station, which has many buildings. The police fingerprinted the room as well. I spent over 12 hours with the police. The police guys I met very nice.

Next step is I have a friend is a lawyer in Dominican Republic, I will have to pay him to start a lawsuit against the hotel. It is not a nice way to treat tourists.

Hi. This place was a great deal and had security on the premises. I walked in, got a great rate, and stayed for two nights. I swam, I ate and I enjoyed myself in the caribbean. People need to stop expecting champagne service on a beer budget.

The restaurant was good; slow staff, but good. If you want a hotel-like experience, I recommend the mercure in the zona colonial. cheers.

If you are on a budget, this is a safe, economical hotel. But be aware it is a 20 minute walk from the Colonial center, partly through questionable streets that aren't safe at night. There are always taxis near by so you don't need to take the risk.

The rooms are ok but there are doors leading to other rooms and there is often noise late. The breakfast staff is not friendly and they don't come to you to take your order. The food is average and expensive. The pool is sometimes quite dirty. Many low class clients stay at this hotel and party in the pool area with the music at top volume (think of rappers with tank tops and big golden chains in the pool). Then the pool remains extremely dirty for a long time.
