loved the building location and attached bar. our only minor complaint is the bathroom set up in our room. Very petite and European feel but the showered was cramped into a corner and difficult to get in and out of. the door to the shower was somewhat obstructed. Loved our balcony, the breakfast room is stunning. the location was safe and convenient.

Be aware of this hotel.
I booked a room and had to leave the next day as the odor in the room was HORRIBLE
The mattress was totally worn out. That’s not the worst part they gave me a receipt for one night for $114 and charge my account $260.41!!!! I could not believe my eyes when I went into my bank account. They said it was a mistake but if I had not check my bank app
I would have been robbed by this people!
I have yet to see the credit on my bank account as I had to fly back home!
DO NOT BOOK HERE Abd if you do PLEASE check your bank account!

Charming boutique hotel in the heart of the Colonial Zone. Streets are tight with very limited parking, so plan ahead. All rooms face a beautiful interior courtyard where breakfast is served in an open-air plaza—lovely setting. There’s also a restaurant and bar on site.
Rooms are small but very comfortable. The beds, pillows, and bedding are outstanding—truly hotel-level luxury (I wanted to recreate it at home). Simple, tasteful décor. A/C and an in-room safe are provided.
Note: the building has three stories and no elevator, but porters handled our luggage up the stairs without issue. The walk-in shower tends to splash water everywhere, which was the main downside.
Location is excellent—easy walking to historic sites, shopping, and restaurants. Overall, a great stay if you value comfort, charm, and location over room size

We ate here yesterday and had the worse experience with the server. He argued with my husband that I did not order what I did and that my food was for another table. The waiter literally tried taking my food back that I had already started eating. The time to get our food was over an hour. I really wanted to love this place with the ambience but that wasn't the case.

While the boutique is undeniably charming and conveniently located in the heart of everything, I did have a few concerns. I visited with some friends, but as someone who often travels alone, I wouldn't feel safe staying in a room by myself. One of the photos shows a white door with a sizable gap in the middle; this door leads to your room. It's easy for someone to slip something through that gap and attempt to open your door. Additionally, while everything may appear tidy and organized from a distance, the cleanliness was lacking. There was mold in the bathroom showers, and the floor in the room had visible cracks, as depicted in the pictures and the tiles on the floor were unstable. Although the staff was friendly and accommodating, these issues impacted the overall experience. I hope the management addresses these concerns promptly, as the boutique has great potential to be a delightful place to stay. With a few improvements, it could easily become a top choice for travelers seeking both charm and comfort in this vibrant area.

Big Fan of the Mosquito Brand and this one doesn’t disappoint. Fantastic service from the staff at every level. Rustic Hotel with great charm and some modern elements in the rooms to bring comfort and a fresh look, so well done. The colonial zone offers some great walking and sight seeing. An easy $10 Uber to or from the airport and so worth it. I’ll be back, this place is special. Great Job Mosquito

Great location, decent food. A little pricey.
23.02.2017 Emilio
A mainstay of the Zona Colonial, its perfect location attracts all kinds of people. While it really attempts to lure locals with its menu, the fare is from average to good, and its clientele is mostly tourists. That explains why the menu is overpriced. However, for people watching it's really superb.

Busy cafeteria on a great corner for people watching. Food was more expensive than we thought and the waiter forgot part of our order. You can get a traditional Dominican breakfast here . Service can take a while.
