First in order to check in i had to turn around several blocks three times, after finding a parking spot about two blocks away we walked to the hotel, we check in and after a couple of hours, due to being uncomfortable with the beds, I was expecting a queen size bed and the room given was a two full bedroom
Even though I tell them that it was my honeymoon the room was plain and not what I was waiting so we left and got home about 4 am to sleep better

Nice hotel with very basic small rooms. Thin walls then you can hear everything, small refrigerator is included. It’s also very safe area located near to all tourist actrations. I enjoy the breakfast which is served at La Marchanta restaurant at Colon Park. It was very nice.
12.12.2025 Andre
Rooms as advertised clean , well equipped . Location great you can walk to many stores and restaurants. Some less than 20 yards from door
09.12.2025 David
A very good value close to el conde. Stairs only to upper floors. Rooms tend to be on smaller side with hot shower and cold A/C. Have stayed here before due to cost/value.
03.12.2025 CARMEN
Very clean and the staff very helpful I would stay there again. It’s also very safe area. I enjoy the breakfast. It was very nice.
23.11.2025 Stephen
The staff was very courteous and although small the room was very clean and the bed quite comfortable. The hotel floors were extremely clean and shining and the pictures created a nice ambiance. It was a very short and enjoyable stay.
07.11.2025 Rochelle
I love the room, but the pillow is thin and not thick enough. I wasn't comfortable sleeping because my neck got stiff. Also, please make sure the cleaner cleans the water tap to keep it shiny, and the window needs to be kept shiny.

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.
26.01.2017 Hannah
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.
