    ...I was Greeted by Bernice, and introduced to our Butler Santos. they escorted us through an unassuming door into the Lobby of our "Casa"... We were immediately greated with a wonderful air conditioned and very well appointed space... Inside our room, we had 2 large Queen beds and a large, luxurious bathroom... All communication with staff was via WhatsApp messages, which we found very convenient... Eventhough we only stayed one day, the staff was wonderful... Huge smiles on their faces made us all feel very welcome... Bernice, Santos and Luis were the 3 staff that took care of us and they were all fantastic... Bernice made us last minute reservation at a local restaurant (which was also very good), and Santos got us settled in our room, got our luggage from the car and parked the car for us... The included a-la-cart breakfast was served to us in the lobby... In the morning, we messaged our Butler Luis and let him know what time worked for us... He made all the arrangements and served us a fantastic breakfast... We have stayed in hotels with "Butler's" in the past, but this is the first time we truly felt cared for and pampered to such a personal degree by the butler...

    This is definitely one of the best hotels we have stayed in. It is in the perfect location in the old town, quiet (unless you have noisy neighbours in your casa) and the rooms and decor are fantastic... We asked for clean towels on our last day before we left and they never arrived - we had to use our towels from the day before...

    ...I was Greeted by Bernice, and introduced to our Butler Santos... We were immediately greated with a wonderful air conditioned and very well appointed space... A scerene, beautiful outdoor space appointed with a small pool, some lounge chairs and patio furniture... Inside our room, we had 2 large Queen beds and a large, luxurious bathroom... All communication with staff was via WhatsApp messages, which we found very convenient... Huge smiles on their faces made us all feel very welcome... Bernice, Santos and Luis were the 3 staff that took care of us and they were all fantastic... Bernice made us last minute reservation at a local restaurant (which was also very good), and Santos got us settled in our room, got our luggage from the car and parked the car for us... The included a-la-cart breakfast was served to us in the lobby... we had the option of the courtyard as well lobby... He made all the arrangements and served us a fantastic breakfast... Overall, we all thought the one night at this hotel was the highlight of our 2 Week stay in the Dominican Republic... Beautiful hotel, beautiful people in a beautiful city...

    There aren't enough great things to say about Casas de XVI - from the gorgeous amenities, to the beautiful, tranquil grounds, and to the wonderful service, I will never stay elsewhere when I am in Santo Domingo! This hotel truly has it all: perfect, safe and central location - a 2 minute walk to the heart of the colonial district; beautiful accomodations that are modern yet old-world classy; a truly wonderful breakfast spread from which we were stuffed...I could go on...The conceirge and staff were so accomodating during my stay as well, they helped me arrange a car service very last minute...

    ...The decor, the bed and the service were top notch. Having breakfast brought to you every morning in the patio is the best... Also having a Butler at your service just makes your stay so easy...

Absolute 10/10 experience. I enjoyed the magnificent rooms/house filled with characters and history. The location is unbeatable and the 5 stars services spoiled me. Breakfast 🍳 are included and the selection and quality is yummy too.

Overall a unique experience of a non-traditional hotel stay. The quality of service and the facilities are in excellent conditions very clean and well maintained. Not a 5/5 rating because no internet service was not available during our stay.

Casas del XVI is beautiful! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, rooms are very clean, bed & pillows are very comfortable, and the food was excellent. All of our needs were taken care of by the concierges, Bernice and Rosa! If you need a place to stay in Santo Domingo, we highly recommend Casas del XVI...you won't be disappointed.

this used to be my favorite hotel in the DR but during my last trip everything was horrible : we were supposed to stay from sunday till wednesday but the airline overbooked so we traveled a day early : I asked the hotel if I could change my reservation to saturday till wednesday. after a lot of talks with both expedia and the hotel I ended up paying for the extra night.... once I got to the airport ( I had payed the hotel ) the car was not waiting for us so I had to arrange and pay for a taxi : even after a long discussion ( the car was at the airport sir !! ) I never got the fare restituted. then we got our rooms : the rooms were fine but the outside area was horrible. after asking for another 2 rooms, I ended up paying for US 450 extra for an upgrade..... this was day 1....it is obvious they care about one thing and one thing only : your money.

Staying at Casas del XVI was quite the experience. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and enjoyed all the detailed attention of the staff. The room and bathroom were both magnificently comfortable and super clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Beautiful colonial boutique hotel, with excellent service and hospitality from the moment you enter the door. The food is international with a local twist and perfectly cooked and served. The indoor patios with the plunge pools are absolutely stunning. The room was comfortable and well stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need. The concierge and butler service is outstanding. For sure one of the nicest experiences we have had in the DR.
