Hostal Mamà Mambò - Zona Colonial

Pros: The rooms are nicely decorated. I liked the breakfast room a lot.

Nice bathrooms, loved the vibes

Pros: Really nice and centric the beds were cozy and comfortable

Pros: It is a very quaint boutique hotel. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Maribel and her staff were very nice. The breakfast was very tasty. It is a short walk into the main centre of the Zona Colonial. There is also a place on the upper floor mezzanine where you can sit.

Cons: It would be nice to have a small work area for the computer and a chair.

Enjoyable stay and very good value for Santo Domingo! If I knew about the communication issues, I wo

Pros: Very comfortable stay at Mama Mambo. Clean, good location to Colonial Zona and very creative, colourful interiors. The breakfast was delicious too and the stay felt like an authentic experience, almost like a homestay.

Cons: Two very important notes however especially if a solo traveller is that no-one speaks any English and payment is only in cash which I did not know until I arrived. Thank God for the translate app on my phone as it was extremely difficult (almost impossible) to even attempt to communicate the basics. I do also have to be honest in that if felt like Mama Mambo was more friendly to Spanish speaking guests which did feel slightly unfair. I appreciate English is not the first language in the Dominican, however for where the hotel is based and it being advertised in booking.com I would have expected even the basics.

Pros: Everything - I loved it, its such a special place and Maribel and her staff are supercool. I felt at ease and relaxed, didnt mind the traffic at all. You get used to it. I also thought the breakfast was totally enough, every day something different. 100% Recommendation

Perfect for a weekend

Pros: The location is prime, so is the staff. Very nice atmosphere and community areas, love the open concept, breakfast is tasty and served fresh every morning. The bed was a bit soft for my taste and a bit more packing are would be nice to store stuff.

A place to start your adventure

Pros: Very friendly owner, ready to give any assistance and advise. Very good food ! Everything with seeing in walking distance !

Cons: Unfortunately, the place is located on a noisy street ....

Excellent

Pros: Excellent place to stay. Close to everything and with nice areas to relax. Safe, clean and excellent breakfasts from a really great host. Thanks

Cons: It’s a bit noisy from the local area and road but I doubt you’ll find much peace and quiet anywhere in the zona collonial.

Great location and super experience

Pros: Great location (walking distance from all touristy things in Santo Domingo). Maribel the owner was really nice. She gave us lots of really good tips to get to know the real Santo Domingo and cooked us delicious breakfasts.

Pros: Its very nice place run by very nice and kind owners. It's not far away from the old town and main street and also from the broadwalk. I really recommend to stay
