- Gustavo (8/5): Interesting option - This is a exceedingly charming hotel built around a reconstructed 16th century convent. It is tastefully decorated with an eclectic collection of objects and furniture. It is immaculately clean. The reception staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfast staff needs more training. The beds are too high and not very comfortable.

- Erin (9/5): Un hotel lindo - Pierre fue muy querido. La habitación, muy bonita. La cama también muy cómoda. También cuando llegué en la noche con muuuucha sed, Pierre fue amable en darme un jugo :) Lo único fue que tan pronto entré a la habitación con el aire acondicionado que tenía, me comenzó una tos terrible. No pude dormir hasta apagar tanto el aire acondicionado como el ventilador.
- Ailyn (9/5): - La historia que se siente El aire no funcionaba bien
- Nelson (8/5): -

- Alicia (10/5): - Convivivir con la historia y comodidades actuales. Muy cerca de todo en la zona colonial que se puede conocer caminando. Nada que objetar.

- Glick (10/5): Great place. Would return. - Overall, the place was great. I would definitely stay there again. I could’ve used a yogurt and granola option for the breakfast, and the mattress was a bit soft for me.
- Ana (10/5): Romántico en la zona colonial - Es un hotel muy bien ubicado muy acogedor y además una atención personalizada, lejos de ruido dormimos muy bien fui con mi esposo de plan romántico por Santo Domingo y el hotel fue escenario de fotos lindas El hotel no cuenta con piscina ni spa pero si vas a disfrutar después o antes de la estadía de Punta Cana no lo considero indispensable
- Slobodan (10/5): - The hotel fully met our expectations and we spent a great time. The hotel is in excellent location in the hair of zona colonial what gave to us an opportunity for sightseeing this historical place by foot. My minor suggestion to the hotel is to improve breakfast. The breakfast is delicious but with no too much choices.
- Padure (8/5): -
- marco (10/5): TOP ✌️ - Bellissimo edificio storico, letto super comodo, stanza grande e silenziosa, in pieno centro e cómodo per visitare la zona colonial. Gracias 🤩
- Alina (8/5): Time travel experience - Amazing staff - everyone was super friendly and tried to be as helpful as possible. Absolutely lovely people. The location of the hotel is fantastic. And the casa itself is stunning, opening its doors you feels like traveling in time. Beds are comfy, towels fluffy, breakfast selection sufficient. Very slippery tiles choice for the bathroom. Had to be very careful.
Few electrical works didn’t seem to be particularly safe, but everything worked absolutely fine. So probably just a style of wiring.
Overall would be delighted staying there again.
- MONGLOR (10/5): REGRESO A EPOCA COLONIAL - Ubicación en zona colonial. Casa museo de estilo colonial que conserva su encanto original. Camas y almohadas super cómodas. Personal muy amable en el desayuno. Muy céntrica para recorrer la zona colonial a pie. Quizá el acceso un poco engorrosos por las obras en las proximidades.
- Louis (7/5): -
- Amanda (8/5): - Really interesting history and a lovely breakfast
- mireille (6/5): - Le patio, le musée Odeur d'humidité dans la chambre, pas de place de stationnement pour le taxi, donc voitures qui klaxonnent derrière !
- Francisco (9/5): Magnífico alojamiento en el centro histórico. Muy recomendable - La decoración, la ubicación, la historia del establecimiento, el jardín interior, la habitación, el desayuno. En fin, me gustó Nada
- Jose (9/5): -
- Olivier (9/5): Un cadre très agréable en plein centre historique. - Bel endroit bien placé. Un accueil très sympathique.
- Alessandro (8/5): Hotel Histórico na Zona Colonial - Da localização , do próprio hotel que é histórico , um verdadeiro museu com peças antigas . O café da manhã é básico , nada excepcional
- Alessandro (3/5): - This hotel is visually stunning with beautiful historic architecture and a fantastic location. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend staying here. The rooms severely lack natural air circulation and are incredibly humid; my pillows and bed sheets were literally wet to the touch.
I understand it is an old building, but this issue could be so easily solved by simply putting a dehumidifier in the rooms.
- Alfredo Vargas Seinfarth (10/5): -
- Rhys (8/5): Beautiful historic location - Great location in the zona colonial and a beautiful old building. Breakfast was a bit of a strange service, no space to get to the buffet due to nearby tables, and staff looked a bit confused when we asked if we could sit out in the beautiful courtyard rather than inside on a nice sunny day.

- MARIA ASCENSION (7/5): Beau bâtiment bien placé mais accueil antipathique. - L’emplacement était bien pour parcourir les lieux historiques à pied . Le petit déjeuner était bon . L’hôtel dans une belle bâtisse ancienne est calme et propre et la literie est confortable. L’antipathie du personnel . Nous avons mal dormi la chambre familiale était pleine de moustiques et aucun spray disponible. Nous avons réussi à positionner un ventilateur face aux lits pour éviter les piqûres.
- Gaafar (10/5): Fantastic hotel in the heart of the Colonial Zone - Liked everything about this hotel, the classic style, the room, the friendliness of the staff, the location. Also the mattress was very comfortable.
Breakfast was good but can be improved further with more variety.
Overall highly recommended.
- Loïc (9/5): Endroit stratégique et atypique, on recommande ! - Emplacement et le lieu atypique. La literie est formidable ! Petit dej complet. Rien à part un petit manque de sympathie du personnel du matin…

- Maite (7/5): - La ubicación No había ventana en la habitación y olía a humedad la habitación
- Carla (9/5): Viaje en el tiempo! - Una ubicación increible, excelente para salir a caminar en los alrededores! La atencion de la recepcion fue muy buena. El hotel es un lugar para descubrir mucha historia. Las habitaciones y camas eran muy comodas. El desayuno estaba bien, talves podria mejorar.
- Damaskini (8/5): - Central but quiet location. Finding street parking was easy. We noticed a 10% service fee was added to the room's original price upon arrival, which we didn't expect. We did not have this issue anywhere else we stayed in the Dominican Republic.
- Anna (8/5): -
- Ludivine (9/5): Emplacement idéal - Très belle chambre
Hôtel calme malgré l’occupation de l’ensemble des chambre
Petit déjeuner complet Un frigo dans la chambre serait idéal ou une fontaine à eau pour les chambres à l’étage
- Zaira Marina (10/5): perfect! - Evrything not applicable
- Jean-Guillaume (10/5): -
- Raquel (9/5): Bonita estancia en la zona colonial - Muy buena ubicación. Bonito y agradable. En el desayuno muy rico el zumo natural de maracuyá y la atención de las chicas. Aunque nos juntamos caras personas en el desayuno resolvieron muy bien bien y sin demasiada espera. La terraza de arriba tiene bonitas vistas. Nada, aunque me pareció un poco elevado el precio.
- Laura (8/5): Bel hôtel bien situé, bon rapport qualité prix. - Localisation dans le centre colonial

- Charlotte (8/5): Lovely place with nice staff - Beautiful property in great location! Very kind staff who arranged an early breakfast for us and greeted us with a smile very early in the morning. A little small but to be expected given the historical building.
- Luisa (9/5): - Posizione. Struttura. Patio. Arredamento La colazione potrebbe migliorare.

- ryu (9/5): - 歴史地区の中心で観光に便利
元修道院の歴史ある建物で、美しくコロニアルな雰囲気が素晴らしかった。
スタッフも皆親切で、快適に滞在できた。
ランドリーサービスも安くお願いでき、便利だった。 旧い建物でいたしかたないが、部屋に蟻が出た。
- Rafael (9/5): -
- Karin (10/5): - Perfekt läge, härlig atmosfär och trevlig personal. Frukosten var en riktigt bra start på dagen! Wifit nådde inte till takterrassen, men i övrigt var allt perfekt.
- Isabelle (8/5): Bel endroit mais des prestations à améliorer - Le B&B est très charmant et idéalement situé dans la zone coloniale. Notre installation a été ralentie par un problème de facturation; la propriétaire nous avait demandé un acompte Paypal et le personnel de l'accueil n'était pas au courant. Les petits déjeuners offrent peu de variété avec des produits de qualité moyenne. Il faut parfois réclamer couverts et assiettes pour pouvoir déjeuner.
- Angela (10/5): We will definitely recommend, this hotel was a highlight of our trip. - This property is an incredible experience, more than a hotel it’s a piece of history. The property is beautifully presented, bed super comfortable, breakfast was great and the staff were helpful and amazing organising us a lovely driver for the day, it’s central and easy walk to all the main spots. We loved everything.
- anahys78 (9/5): - L'emplacement de l'hôtel à proximité de tout. Le charme de cet hôtel qui est différent. Le petit déjeuner est très bien sauf que nous sommes arrivés à la fin du premier service et il n'y avait plus assez pour 5 personnes. Nous n'avons pu avoir que deux jus d'orange pour 5 par exemple. La cuisinière nous a dit qu'il n'y en avait plus et pourtant les personnes qui sont arrivés après en ont eu... Je n'ai pas trop compris.

- STEPHANE (8/5): Bien - Emplacement en pleine zone coloniale Pas d'ascenseur et plusieurs prises secteur HS
- May (9/5): Lovely - Only one night but Beautiful building, great location, friendly staff and nice breakfast.
- Mirek (8/5): I will be back :-) - The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the Zona Colonial, within walking distance of Santo Domingo’s main tourist attractions. Its colonial-style architecture transports you back in time, allowing you to imagine yourself in the atmosphere of the 16th–17th centuries.
Inside, however, the hotel is fully adapted to modern needs. The clean rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a TV, a private bathroom, a coffee table, and armchairs. The bed is large and features soft, comfortable sheets.
The breakfast offers a variety of healthy options. Overall, it is excellent value for the money. I would highly recommend this place for an extended stay. As a personal preference, I would prefer a firmer mattress.
- Alasdair (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, it really is like staying in a wonderful museum. Lovely courtyard and rooftop sitting area.
Perfectly situated in the old town, within a short walk of all sites.
Would highly recommend.
- Javier (9/5): Buen hotel con desayuno mejorable - Un hotel con mucho encanto en una zona espectacular de la zona colonial de Santo Domingo Poca variedad en el desayuno. No había opciones de diferentes tipos de leche, ni café descafeinado. En general la comida bastante pobre.
- sophie (9/5): -
- Jordan (8/5): Historical beauty in the heart of Zona Colonial. - the actual structure is absolutely STUNNING, historical.
incredible experience. The internal courtyard is picture worthy. The size of the rooms is also good.
the breakfast is homemade and very tasty, they make it for you on the spot our aircon unit broke fully and they couldn’t move us rooms, and the night employee couldn’t really use critical thinking to give us an extra fan for the room.
However the manager solved the issue on the next day and gave me a discount for the inconvenience. So it was kind of them.
It’s slightly noisy in the morning because it’s close to one of the main squares, but it’s perfectly silent at night.
