10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Santo Domingo: Best hotel deals for 2023

April 23, 2023 Jasper Kershner

Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic and a UNESCO world heritage site, is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas and one of the most populous cities in the Caribbean. The city is a mix of old world charm and modern Latin flair. Its medieval palaces and fortresses mix with nightlife and shopping to rival any modern city in the world. You'll find pristine beaches and hidden gems like a salsa/merengue club set inside a huge underground cave.

Casa Sanchez

Casa Sanchez is a boutique hotel in a historical building in the heart of Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone. The hotel has a pool, jacuzzi and a large gym. Bedrooms have a wealth of original features including beautiful mosaic tiles. We are a full service hotel with daily maid service, breakfast and 24 hour staffing. Breakfast is cooked fresh to order, served beside the pool and included in our room rates. The hotel is in a quiet street, but just a few steps from the Conde. The area is safe to walk around. Our staff speak English, French and Spanish. We offer an airport pick-up service using a safe English-speaking driver (at additional cost).

Pictures and words ARE deceiving on this website

Reviewed By laurarconnecticut

I rarely take the time to write negative reviews, but hope this helps someone. So much deceit on this website that it is hard to figure out where to start. Not "kind and friendly" front desk. No parking at all, as advertised On street, public, unsecured parking and "we'll notify you if anything happens"-that wouldn't really be helpful, would it? Pool area VERY run down, wifi only worked in certain areas, common areas need major updating. All right across the street from two sex shops in what did not feel like a safe place to walk day or night. Certainly didn't see any happy, smiling faces.

My Santo Domingo home

Reviewed By juliabtravellin

What a cool, calm place to stay in Santo Domingo. Restaurants, convenience stores, parks and views discoverable from the doorstep, plus a key to let myself in and out of the small property, felt like a home away. Easy walk to points of interest in Zona Colonial. I felt safe at night as a solo female traveler. Warm reception. Clean room. Good WiFi. Hot water.

Bad Wifi, Room didn't match picture

Reviewed By Rich S

My room didn't match the picture on the Travelocity website so I had to pay additional money for the room that I wanted. Wifi was horrible, I had to pay for office space at a nearby co-working location. I had other issues too, but not going to waste more of my time on this place. The one positive was the quality of the bed, I did get a great night sleep there.

You get what you pay for!

Reviewed By Marc S

This hotel is well situated one minute from the sea boulevard, next to the colonial area, may be 7 minutes from the cathedral or the first street of the New World, and next to any good touristic or party spot. So for the price, you better forget that the rooms are not so new, the parking view or some noise. This is definitely not a four star hotel, it would be barely two anywhere else in the civilised world but people are very nice, helpful, breakfast is good, food is very correct, the boss seems to import cheese from Europe so the fondue is good, the fish is fresh and you will spend a good time sharing there. Once again, if you cannot afford something pricey, just go there and enjoy!
