Experiencia auténticamente dominicana.
Pros:

He visitado varias veces el hotel y cada vez me gusta más. La ubicación, la vista, la comodidad de la habitación, su limpieza y la atención del personal son extraordinarias. Alex y Carlos son joviales, serviciales y respetuosos. Aunque la estadía no incluye desayunos, el hotel tiene muy buen restaurante y su personal es muy atento.

Un gioiello nel cuore della città
Pros:

Hotel ristorante splendido con una posizione perfetta per visitare la Zona Colonial. L'ambiente è molto carino, intimo e accogliente. La vera chicca è l'atmosfera: varcata la soglia, sembra di fare un salto all'indietro fino agli anni '50. Personale gentile e ottima cucina. Ci ritornerei subito!
