we stayed at the palacio for 3 nites in order to connect with a cruise.When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted by the 2 girls at the desk and proceeded to checkin without any further ado.after checkin we were ushered by the concierge to our room on the first floor and politely ensconced into our room, with a brief explanation... more

If you are looking for a nice hotel in Santo Domingo center, do not look any further. This hotel is close to Conde and the cathedral. It's a very cute boutique hotel with very friendly staff. We first went to San Nicolas de Ovando, the Sofitel hotel which we did not really like. Then we switched to a room at... more

Having decided to escape our very nice but non-Dominican all inclusive resort in Bayahibe, we came to the capital for 2 nights. The Hotel Palacio was the second of our 2 nights and we wish we'd found it earlier. The staff showed us a range of rooms, standard, superior and the suite. The standard was lovely but having had a... more

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights during my first trip to the Santo Domingo and was overall impressed. The free wireless and proximity to Conde Street were alone worth the price. I must say that my room had a slight mosquito problem but I figure this is common in what I have now learned is a very humid... more

We wanted to stay at the Sofitel Nicholas Olivando, but they were booked up, so we stayed at the Hotel Palacio for a night between our resort and returning to the US. The hotel was very professional over email and responded quickly (within a few hours normally) prior to arrival. Service overall was very professional. Hotel Palacio has a great... more

This time around it seemed a bit more run down - needs a paint job, broken curtain rod - that kind of thing. We paid about $100USD for a spacious room with... more

This hotel is beautiful but the awful managment made our first and last moments in Santo Domingo irritating and uncomfortable. Despite what the hotel staff states, do not count on paying for your room with traveler's checks. We attempted to do this and the staff refused to take the American Express traveler's checks signed right in front of them. We... more

I was very happy staying in this hotel. I had the what is called the "superior" level room which was large, spotlessly clean, very quiet and very comfortable. Quality of construction of room items and furniture was very high, not flimsy or shabby. Very comfy bed. Bathroom had two sinks marble/tile. Room had fast internet. I spent time working in... more

This old world charm hotel has beautiful rooms, great service and the security is top notch. Its located right in the heart of the colonial zone and its walking distance to restaurants and night life. They are adding a pool which should be built by next year just in time for my next vacation because I'm definetely staying there again. more
