Reviews
The room was stunning, ours came with a little pool which was a lovely touch. All the amenities and little extras made the stay memorable. Plenty of sightseeing near by and restaurants as well as the walking street!
The breakfast was generous, delicious, and beautifully prepared each morning. We stayed at Casas del Pozo, and having direct access from our room to the swimming pool was a wonderful touch. The inner courtyard was peaceful, intimate, and beautifully designed, a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.
The hotel is ideally located, within walking distance of the main attractions in the Colonial Zone, and situated in a very safe and quiet area of Santo Domingo.
Casas del XVI combines elegance, comfort, and outstanding service, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and luxurious stay in the heart of the city.
