Nice hotel in Zona Colonial

Pros: Nice and cozy hotel in Zona colonial. The staff is very friendly and helpful, always got help if we needed. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, didn't have any problem. Kitchen has everything you need, so you can cook yourself if you need. The cat living there is just adorable, loved it very much ❤️

Cons: Only one problem we had.. our room was next to reception and stairs to the next floors, so sometimes it was a little noisy. Also the room didn't have the window but I guess not all rooms are like that. We still liked our stay in this hotel very much 🙂

One of the best hostels in Latin America

Pros: I loved everything about this hostel. The location is perfect. If you come from Punta Cana by bus, you can get off at Parque Enriquillo and walk here. If you come from the Caribe bus terminal, you need a taxi or uber, but it's not expensive. You can walk from the hostel to everywhere in the old town in a few minutes. A big supermarket (Supermercado Nacional) is around the corner. At night the hostel was quiet, so I slept very well. It also has a cool vibe, met a lot of great people of different nations and ages there. The rooftop terrace is a good place to socialize in the evenings. Claudia und Juan Carlos are great hosts, very welcoming and helpful.

Absolut eine der besten Empfehlungen in der Zona Colonial

Pros: + Top Lage + Einfacher Check in + Sauber + mit Handtücher, Seife, WC Papier + A/C funktioniert + Sehr hilfsbereit

Cons: - Man müsste allgemein so einige Gäste zuerst in einen Benimm-Kurs schicken, bevor sie booking nutzen können, ab 12 Uhr war es jedoch total still 🙏

Overall

Pros: The staff is superfriendly. The location is amazing, and the rooms and the entire hotel are clean and neat. We had many suitcases and the staff were super friendly to help us to store it. Also were very responsive to any questions we had. The room was cool in the night - we didn't even use the AC. We also had access to a little kitchen where you can cook and eat in case you need to.

Cons: Everything was amazing
