Pros:

Good location, staff very nice and everywhere was very clean and tidy

Cons:

Facilities were quite poor for the price paid. No iron / ironing board (a steamer though), no facilities for making tea / coffee in the room. The only way to discuss something with reception was to physically go there. This means going out of the building, down the street to another building and press on an entry system whilst waiting on the street. Since reception is not always manned, this can be a frustrating wait especially if it is raining. Hot water was not always working. Outside the pool was more ornamental than useable and there were only three quite heavy and uncomfortable sun loungers which could not be moved. If you like sitting or lying in the sun, you should know that the sun does not get into this courtyard for almost all of the day. The chairs outside were also very heavy and uncomfortable to sit on.

Pros:

The hotel delivered on expectation - it was safe and clean and central to Ciudad Colonial. The staff were attentive and always available, and safety was clearly a top priority.

Cons:

It was a bit unclear what the hotel had to offer otherwise, and the rooms are spread across different buildings. While the hotel had food options available, it was slightly confusing to figure out how it worked. The area in general is the tourist corner of the city, so once you have seen the sights, you would need to venture elsewhere for things to do.

Presque parfait
Pros:

Le personnel devrait être plus attentif aux claquements de portes et aux échanges avec talkie-walkie qui nous ont réveillé le matin trop tôt

Lovely place and staff. So incredibly over priced though.
Pros:

The location was good - just a few minutes walk to the shopping street with bars, local crafts etc and restaurants

Cons:

Way too expensive for what you get. Overall including taxes we were charged £450 for one night room only. Crazy and will never be back.

Pros:

Really beautiful property in the heart of the colonial city, walkable to many restaurants and shops. We loved our room as well as the lovely pool area outside. There is a lot of staff on hand and they are very friendly and helpful. This would be a great place for a group as you can rent all of the rooms in one of the “houses” to have a private area. There was construction right outside while we were there, but it didn’t impact our stay.

Pros:

Property is well located to explore the colonial area of Santo Domingo. Our stay, unfortunately, did not fulfill our expectations due to the following: (1) I booked a "Luxury Superior Room" with bathtub and we were provided with a simple room with shower. Furnishings shown online are not representative of the furnishings in the room. (2) Noise due to nearby parties was excessive. (3) As a gold member a wine bottle was to have been proveded and was not (4) parking is terrible: Parking is on the street in front of the property. At night cars are parked two-wide as night revelers are also allowed to park there and it is impossible to move or use your own vehicle. At checkout in the morning we were still blocked and it took 20 minutes for the staff to find the owner and move the other car out of the way. (5) After paying an additional $60 to pay for breakfast during the booking process I noticed the booking inidcates it was to have been included as a member benefit. The staff was not prepared to tend to the breakfast. There was no prepared table. We found three staff in the entry/dining area and when we inquired about breakfast they brought a table, placed a tablecloth and disappeared (no menu, no china, no tableware noninquiry as to what we might want for breakfast). 15 minutes later we opted to have breakfast in the neighborhood.

A luxurious, safe, and unforgettable solo getaway—Casas del XVI exceeded every expectation.
Pros:

I recently stayed at Casas del XVI in Santo Domingo and absolutely loved it! As a solo traveler, safety was my top priority, and they exceeded my expectations. There were always guards stationed outside the casas and patrolling the area, and they made sure I got into my casa safely every time.

The property itself was stunning—just like the photos online. I fell in love with my room and left with so many decorating ideas. The staff was incredibly helpful and courteous throughout my stay. One of the highlights was having a butler who took my breakfast order each morning and even doubled as my photographer by the pool—he captured some amazing shots!

I truly can’t say enough good things about this boutique hotel. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Cons:

The construction in the area.

Very dissapointing. Was expecting so much more
Pros:

The room was ok. Good location

Cons:

For 460$ per night i was expecting a lot more. It felt a little like they are brand new and don’t really know what’s going on. There was no full length mirror in room. There was no coffee machine in room. Breakfast was an absolute disaster it took forever. It was $100 and we barely ate anything. For 560$ for the night bed and breakfast I would avoid this place and not recommend to anyone.
