Guest Reviews
- Daenne (10/5): - The staff there are very sweet.
- ALVARO (2/5): - The property is horrible..dirty ..we didn’t stay moved to a near by hotel
- Florin (10/5): - Very good location, nice people and safe.
- Robert (8/5): - Nice to be so close to the Malecon, but you better have ear plugs if you want to sleep. Traffic noise nearly 24 hours a day. The staff was friendly and professional, the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. AC was strong and kept the room cool. The bathroom is small and the shower is tiny. I had to get out to change my mind. Hahaha
- lucia (8/5): - Great location
- Ingrid (2/5): - Struttura vecchia e sporca. Stanze in pessime condizioni e quasi non usciva acqua dalla doccia. Davvero un incubo!
- LORENA (2/5): - Very Dirty is bad hotel no good
- Raymond (6/5): - Old family business , very nice people but the place is run down and it’s very noisy because the traffic !
- Melvin (4/5): - It said sound proof.Balcony doors did not lock and bathroom window was impossible to close.It was so noisy and so difficult to sleep.No chairs in the balcony
- alexandrina (10/5): - It’s a nice hotel, bed was comfortable, the view is beautiful , location close to everything in Zona colonial
- Marlyn Ann (2/5): - No era lo que se veía en fotos, sucio y los cuartos daban pena, edificio abandonado inclusive no lo usé y me fui a otro hotel, traté de cancelar el mismo día y se me hizo difícil, aún quisiera saber si puedo recuperar mi dinero.
- KENJIRO (2/5): - 最悪、シャワーの水量も無い、お湯も出ない、うるさい、汚い、あと1泊ありましたが、泊まらずに早々にチェックアウトしました。
- Jerrison (10/5): - Had a great time in the hotel the view is amazing of the ocean
- Nancy Y (8/5): - Buena atencion perola ubicacion del hotel no es la mejor...
- Evelin (10/5): - Estuvo excelente el recibimiento y la atención
- Stephen (8/5): - The rooftop terrace was great. Beautiful views. The location was perfect for walking the Historic Colonial Quarter. Some great restaurants are right around the hotel. There are grocery stores just a 15 minute walk away. The staff was helpful and attentive to whatever I needed.
The negatives, hotel is right next to a busy street and the noise goes all night. Luckily I'm a deep sleeper or I would've had trouble sleeping. And the internet says they have an airport shuttle. They don't. I had to pay for a taxi.
Overall it was good for my purposes. A few negatives but it was easy to see the sights of the city. And the ocean was just across the street. There's a couple of beaches nearby but they're small and you can't really swim there. But good stay for the money.
- Charlotte (2/5): - Unsafe place, the rooms are dirty, toilet seats are broken, rooms stink, people walking in and out. I left immediately!
- Francisco (8/5): - Hotel sencillo para pasar la noche, las habitaciones estaban limpias.
- Lcdo. Reymerik (6/5): - Se pagó por habitación con vista al mar y no la proveyeron.. tampoco hicieron reembolso por la diferencia en cambio del cuarto.
- Felix A (8/5): - Overall was good.
- Rosa (8/5): - The property itself was a simple hotel. Staff was super friendly and so helpful. They made sure we were comfortable. Property is walkable to la Zona Colonial and to Melacon district. We wanted to be more with the locals and found a nice park a few blocks down. They had awesome food trucks and beer. We enjoyed ourselves and will more likely returning to venture a little further.
- Jose (2/5): - The Air condition did not work, the smell in this place was terrible, the bed was old, in general I did not like this place at all.
- Juan (6/5): - No good servic
- Gleny (4/5): - Lo unico bueno fue el personal, un señor muy amable,y el area.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff is very nice!
- alexandrina (10/5): - The rooms with the patios have an amazing view. It’s not the most modern but it’s comfortable and still a good prize. The rooftop is fun to go have drinks with your friends or family. Overall I really enjoyed it
- Verified traveler (10/5): - good hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Prima
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The beautiful view to the sea. Loved how close is to the colonial zone
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was close to the Zona Colonial and it was within walking distance easy to get to to and from
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Inexpensive view of carribean sea small terrace nice humble neighborhood surrounding with bodega counter bars with lovals
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved the peace of being in front of the sea. Beautiful hotel. Is a very good thing they allow you to smoke. I will go back again soon. The employees are very nice. They served me very efficiently. The hotel is clean and secure. Also a very good location, close to the best parts of the city. I recommend La llave del mar
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were friendy & helpful. The room was nice & it had a balcony overlooking the sea.
The only one small thing was the sink had no plug, & was too small.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - El hotel es antiguo, aunque eso al inicio no nos importó, el personal q nos recibió fue amable, sin embargo no nos solucionó lo de la televisión, pues no tuvimos tv durante toda nuestra estadía; al tercer día nuestra habitación se inundó y nos cambiaron de habitación a la tercera planta, allí tampoco hubo televisión, y la señal de wifi no llegaba (prometieron que solucionarían eso y no cumplieron), en el último día de nuestra estancia, por la mañana no hubo agua, volvimos por la tarde y no limpiaron la habitación.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - ホテル前の道路の向こうが海で景色は良いがホテル自体はボロい 部屋も薄暗いがスタッフはフレンドリー
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Es un lugar perfecto para cuándo vas de parranda y necesitas donde dormir y estar cerca a todo EXELENTE el personal maravilloso muy atentos , mucho éxito y me verán protito
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly staff. Great food, no issues leaving the building. Plenty of parking.
- H7660CDthomasd (8/5): Last minute stay - We took a quick trip Santo Domingo and had trouble finding our Air BNB. THIS place and as around the corner and cheaply priced. Nothing fancy here but had a nice restaurant attached to it.
Definitely better hotels around but it fits the bill.
- Art (8/5): Hotel sencillo con buena ubicación - Es un hotel bastante sencillo pero cumple su propósito. La actitud del personal de recepción es excelente y se encuentra localizado justo frente al malecón y a distancia caminando de los atractivos de la zona colonial.
- ゆーき (4/5): かつてはよかった海の見える旧市街のちいさなホテル - 治安が悪いため、入り口は24時間施錠。脇のベルを押すと、開けてくれる。早朝出発のため、5時にタクシーと、その前のモーニングコールを頼んだが、部屋には電話がない。コールの時間に降りていくと、スタッフは寝たまま。慌ててタクシーを呼ぶ始末だった。来たのは、「フレンド」という白タク。さらに、セーフティボックスを頼んだら、側の監視カメラのモニター画面を見せて、「部屋は安全だ」。部屋の壁には、使えなくなったセーフティボックスが設置されたままだった。シャワーは、ちょちょろで、湯が出ない。
- Angelo (8/5): Great but... - The place is great for what is worth, the only problem is how loud it gets in the morning. Even if you get a room in the back.
- Yenny (6/5): Convenient, nice staff - Easy to walk to the Old Santo Domingo, supermarkets, restaurants.
One has to be flexible, the area is somewhat noisy. Squares and buildings need restoration but it is under way as it is a ruch historic beautiful area with national monuments.
La Llave del Mar has a quaint restaurant with a short ibteresting exhibit of preserved rare fishes and sharks. Food was good, I was positively surprised, had a freshly cought rouper with garlic lemon sauce and salad.
The staff: Elizabeth, Yonny, Juan and Juan, all friendly and nice service. Overall was a good stay for me.
- Leonardo (10/5): Excelente - Waooooo siempre salia y estaba el recepcionista atento muchas atenciones volvería a ese hotel
- KA SHUN ANGUS (4/5): - no hot water provided for shower and drinking
- JAeEM29 (10/5): Best hotel in Santo Domingo for the lowest price - This hotel restaurant is fantastic for 40 per night it has a light breakfast the rooms are comfortable and air conditioned along with cable TV. This hotel is in the highly desirable are of the Malecon Zona Colonial walking distance to all the hot spots. The service was great the people were awesome and the food was amazing! No complaints here. Ask for Luis and tell him Joel sent you he will take care of you! 😍😍😍😍
- edmund (6/5): very quiet - the price is right,the food is excellent, and it is like a family place. I was happy there.
- Verified traveler (8/5): hotel agradable frente al malecon con facil acceso - si quieres un buen precio con buena atencion y vacilar en el
casco de la ciudad....(muy bueno)......si estas buscando mucha comodidad
y relajarte....busca otro!!! a mi me gusto mucho
- lenateixeiraCoimbra (10/5): Just use the restaurant - Precious sea food, the best ceviche, fish soup delicious, warm decepcion and waiter, quite and beautiful place, with sea view. Fantástic decoration and good location. Definetly a place deserving another visit.
- Betty (6/5): Acceptable hotel; very good rate on special - The people were very nice and the location was very convenient though the ocean view rooms, being directly above Avenida George Washington, are incredibly loud. The room was basically clean but not spotless, leaving the impression that perhaps the comforter was only washed on occasion, for example.
- peppe (6/5): hotel sul mare - accettabile per poche notti ok.. abbastanza pulito. solo un po rumoroso il traffico è intenso sul malecon
- Mireya (2/5): The DIRTESS HOTEL I have ever seen. - The place as FILTHY, will never recomend or will never ever stay there again. Bathroom toilet did not flush, bathtub DIRTY.
- Mariola (10/5): - Great customer service! Nice, celan and cozy bedroom! Beautiful Ocean view! I will definitely be Back soon!
- 172karinad (10/5): Very nice stay at Hotel La Llave Del Mar - I will highly recommend Hotel La Llave Del Mar, because of it's great location. Very good restaurants very close by in walking distance. Also a grocery store right around the corner.The staff and personnel are very friendly and always willing to give you great advice. For a small fee you can ask for pick up service at the airport. The rooms are very cozy and also there's a little fridge. Luis Eduardo, Juan and Manuel, they always make you feel right at home.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good for bed and bath. - It was noisy because I had a room with beach view, which happened to be close to the road too.
The Bathroom was not so great.
The hotel staffs are very friendly. They speak English.
They have a gated parking lot. Your car will be safe.
I will stay in this hotel in my next visit.
- ScubaDaniel (10/5): Great small hotel right on Malacon overlooking sea - The hotel was right on the ocean, at the edge of the Zona Colonial and near the big casinos in the other direction. 3 friendly guys run the place -- Luis, who I think is the primary owner and speaks good English, Juan, his brother in law, and Manuel, his cousin. They were all super nice. The room I took was on the second floor with a small terrace overlooking the Malacon and the ocean right on the other side of the street. (there is no swimming there). No food served there right now but they had a restaurant that may reopen soon. Go out the front door, turn right, then right again, walk 2 short blocks and there is a great and cheap restaurant on the other side of the street on the corner. Sorry I don't remember its name.
Hotel La Llave Del Mar was excellent for a moderately priced hotel. Super recommended.
- julian (8/5): fun staying - the room was cleaned, nice and neat. The staff at the front desk was very friendly. My stay at la llave del mar was fantastic.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The hotel is terrible for business activity, Only one bed, no chair, no table. Clean but I felt that this place is more than a hotel.
- Darcy (8/5): Well priced and located... And the staff were grea - I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is conveniently located and quite economical. Therebia some street noise due to being located on the malecon but they have rooms facing the back that wiujld be quieter.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect - It is a great place to stay and the staff is really helpful!
- Manny (10/5): Good - Management is extremely friendly and very efficient. The service is excellent.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Decent value, but NOISY - Good staff/owner, older but decent room, nice ocean view, but the traffic noise starting early morning on the highway situate just a few yards from the room was a challenge. The hotel is easy walking distance to the Colonial Old City and Cathedral.
- Sam (6/5): - Very confy for the money. If you cant deal with traffic noise then this is not the hotel for you.
- Valentino (8/5): Very nice hotel, it is right in the middle of ever - Staff is great, very helpful. Affordable, clean.
I did have problem with the shower, but it was fixed the same day.
- Bradley (10/5): Great location and fantastic service - i had an excellent stay. The amenities, location were all top top. The personnel, from manager to maid, did everything to ensure I had a great experience. And it was, something to write home about and to remember.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good For A Cheap One Night Stay - No bells and whistles, very cheap for a short stay. And clean.
