Historic ambiance, location, exceptional service.

Nice stay in the heart of zone colonial
Pros:

Location is perfect: spacious and clean rooms right inside the walls of the Colonial Zone. Free parking available, although there are only a few spots. Nice outdoor pool. Breakfast included — not very abundant or varied, but the food is good. Check-out at 12:00.

Cons:

The bed was a bit uncomfortable

Pros:

Best location on the colonial zone. Right next to the Ozama Fort. Beautiful extensive areas. The hotel is comprised of a few buildings or houses joined together to form the whole hotel. It feels as big as a cruise ship. And again, it is in the colonial zone. You can walk around and enjoy the area up until very late at night. The weekends are just wonderful with the area full of activity, restaurants, music and a lot of locals all enjoying the area as well. Plenty of good restaurants and clubs around. Museums and a lot to visit walking around the town.

Cons:

I asked for late check out and was offered to pay $10 an hour. They do keep a secure luggage storage but a couple of complimentary hours to use the room after paying $1k for 5 nights would have been appreciated.

Hotelgebäude macht es aus.
