Hotels Near Plazoleta de los Curas in Santo Domingo

Based on the photos and reviews, we booked 2 nights to visit the colonial district and Santo Domingo. Bad surprise just when we arrived in the hotel area, we would have asked the taxi not to leave us there...but hey, we're going back. Friendly welcome and clean lobby. For the room it's something else, a box with a porthole, an uncomfortable bed and a bathroom of 1.5 m square, so small that they cut the door to accommodate the edge of the sink. We go out, it stinks, it's dirty and we get attacked from all sides, frankly we really don't feel safe, we quickly check out the spots to see and we go back. Horrible night, noisy and poorly attended hotel, well unless you want company..., barking all night, smells... we barely slept! We had informed that we would not stay the 2 nights, the manager acted surprised and obviously did not offer us any compensation for the second paid night... in short I could continue, but it's not worth it, go elsewhere , I will leave it there

María in housekeeping was extremely attentive and helpful. I love this hotel. It always feels like home! From reception, rooom service, poolside, and beyond. This is where you go when you want to feel like home without any distractions. I highly recommend it!

The hotel belongs to the city landmark building, the facilities are modern and new, this plus points. Free underground parking, easy access, and the front desk clerk is very friendly. Remember to add 20-30 US dollars, apply for a high-rise suite, the view is super good; there are free snacks and fruit water before 7:30PM every night. Breakfast is very good. The most important thing is that the dining has Chinese food, tea, the taste is very good, this is a plus. The room is a suite, living room, horizontal, bathroom independent space and large enough. The living room has a kitchenette (microwave, hot water bottle) coffee and tea. In this Caribbean island country, you can find a hotel produced by Chinese food, which is great! If you come here for business trips, it is highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this Aloft Hotel. The Hotel is brand new with beautiful common areas (Bar, Terrace, rooftop pool and lobby area. Lights and colors of the rooms and lobby are cozy. Views of city from the suites, terrace and rooftop pool are amazing. The best part of the hotel are their management, front desk personnel and staff in general. All were very friendly, professional and kind during our stay exceeding any customer expectations. The hotel had a very special detail and attention for my wife’s birthday when we came back to the room. We really enjoy our stay and definitely recommend to stay at this hotel when visit Santo Domingo.

I always love staying at El embajador for the staff. They feel like family, and they all treat you with love and respect. Lucy, the chef on the 7th floor deserves a Michelin star. Years apart from visits she is able to prepare the same delectable dish with the exact unwavering quality of a 5-star establishment. Marty and Yonatan are incredible servers, they will always try to accommodate you with the same love and warmth of family. Carlos Rodriguez the bellhop on the first floor is also great. He is always super friendly and genuine, this is the best staff ever. You will feel like you are staying at your new home.

It had been over 5 years since my last visit and now will be returning frequently and back to only this hotel. The services were all excellent. From the moment I needed to chat while delayed and was in need of urgent services prior to check-in, to my 1am check-in, room services, restaurant dining with local colleagues, on-site pre-trip covid testing services, everything that I wanted and needed was made available and with a smile. Everyone is so pleasant and courteous. Love the staff and services here - the rooms were very clean and comfortable as well of course. Oh and I left something in my room which I realized after returning home and it was found by housekeeping and mailed to my house! THANK YOU TEAM JW MARRIOTT SANTO DOMINGO!!!

I get my reservation though the sales department. The person I deal with is very courteous, 1. I agree with couple of bad reviews here,,,,, Key issues, room outdated and moist smell on rooms and hallways, ( they are trying to fix the issues with dehumidifiers throughout the floor's hallway.... 2. front desk : they have inexperience front desk agents..... ( looks like no customer service skills training is happening at this location.... 3. to give the benefit of the doubt, this location has what is called club members that are not guest of the hotel, but they use the facility's gym, pool, sauna, and amenities from the hotel. so I think this ism the reason why the front desk and some of their staff lacks of just serv. skills. mix of people ...... and locals that visit or are member of the club are the med high class of the country and treat staff like if they are slaves..... so part of the problem lays in that, they try..... talking about the front desk staff....... 4. other staffs, they think they know everything..... one thing that bothers the most is when someone is trying to cover a fault with an excuse that doesn't even make sense.... please don't BS a Bs'r. 5. Rooms: other than having a moist smell, they lack of insulation ( sound proofing) you can hear everything that is going on on the other room, and when I say everything, is EVERYTHING..... my 11 years old asked me if they were killing someone on the other room..... 6. ammeneeties and restaurant staff, very courteous, and pleasant tried to accommodate me as much as they could possible can...... 7. Staff at 8th floor. they have a cigar lounge up there and more of a pleasant view away from most locals that visit the facility...... 8. if you want to have a nice sleep try executive rooms. everything is different.... by the way THIS IS A VERY CHEAP ($$$$$$ WISE) HOTEL.

My layover in SDQ was utilized for resting. I did enjoy my room. It was clean with all the amenities. I enjoyed sleeping long hours without any interruptions. The members of Staff were pleasant and service in the restaurant was quick. The hotel is in close proximity to the SDQ airport and was ideal for my layover. Taxis were available at the behest of the front desk.
