Description

Hotel Merey is a three-star establishment located in Santo Domingo’s historic Zona Colonial. It offers a wide range of room types, from Economy Single rooms to Suites, many with balconies and some with views. The hotel provides air conditioning, free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and services including laundry, currency exchange, and a business center. Guests can enjoy the continental breakfast served daily from 07:30 to 10:00, though it consists of basic items like toast, coffee, juice, and fruit. The building has five floors but no elevator, which might be a consideration for guests with mobility issues. While the hotel claims free parking, the lot is not onsite and guests have reported parking on the street under surveillance. The property accepts pets, but hotel policies state that pets are not allowed. Overall, the hotel is affordable with rooms starting at $24 USD per night. However, guest reviews reveal mixed experiences regarding cleanliness, noise, and customer service.

Location

Hotel Merey is situated on Calle Santome #452, within the colonial zone of Santo Domingo. It is approximately 830 meters from Playa Montesinos beach, making it accessible for a short walk. The Santo Domingo Herrera airport (HEX) is 8 kilometers away, facilitating easy airport transfers. Nearby, guests will find the Pizza Hut restaurant just 310 meters away, noted for good pizza despite slow service, and Pollo Rey at 323 meters, which has received notably lower ratings. The hotel’s location places it close to many major tourist sites, allowing guests to explore on foot. However, reviews mention that the surrounding neighborhood can be noisy and dirty, especially at night.

Tips

  • If you have mobility issues, request a ground-floor room due to the absence of an elevator.

The area of the hotel was noisy and dirty. The only convenience was your in the colonial zone. The hotel itself was not good. The rooms are small and they have a roach problem. I had 3 roaches crawl on me while I was sleeping. The front desk personnel don't speak English but are friendly. They serve breakfast but theirs no choices. You get what they give you. I won't recommend this hotel.

We had a bit of difficulty at the beginning due to the fact that they were over booked and the room we had confirmed wasn’t available. The hotel front desk agent wasn’t polite, she was actually a bit rude. We had to contact the third party customer service to try to assist us and when we did the hotel front desk agent said forget it that she will handle it. And gave us the room and said she will just have to deal with the other guest when they arrive

Interior run down. Noisy. Staff is friendly though. Neighborhood questionable, lots of trash outside.

We picked this property because it was in the heart of places we wanted to see and we could walk to. Traffic was horrific, but I was able to manage with our car and we were able to parallel park very close every time. The rooms were small, but for the price and the free breakfast, it was easy to get over it. You get what you pay for, a place to sleep and breakfast in the morning. There is a restaurant right across the street that has great food and there is a market on the other corner. We were in our rooms most nights as it got dark, the street noise does quiet down as it gets later, and the other guests were very respectful with their noise levels. Even though the area might look a little sketchy, for someone new to traveling outside the US, we didn't have any damage done to our car and felt very safe walking around in the daytime.

The hotel is central to almost every major tourist site. The receptionists have good customer service

Pollo Rey in any other place is ok, but this one, particularly, is beyond awful. The staff was not friendly at all. The tender from the sandwich I ate was salty and looked pretty much like some alien sort of thing. Also, the bathroom was dirty and disgusting. I was surprised they offered such a terrible service, because I have been to other Pollo Rey establishments and they have been nothing like this one.
