I very much like this hotel but please be aware the rooms next to the main road are noisy. The road noise throughout the night is significant if you are in certain rooms. Check-in staff need to give more thought to when these rooms are assigned, especially if the hotel is not full. Otherwise this is a great hotel.

We were not happy. The hotel asked us to leave after 2 days because my wife was sick. We booked 4 nights and the hotel is not responding to expedia re refund. They owe us $500. I have been staying at the hotel for 7 years and they treated me horribly. The staff memebers scream at each other and the dominicans jump in the pool in their t-shirts. Please reach out to the hotel again to administer thr refund.

its very well situated... that said 3 days later our whole stuff still smells like humid, the floors in the room were filthy, the internet was super bad, the A/C couldn't keep up with the heat so it just rattled ALL night so we could'sleep because of the heat, the noise and the smell.... I recommend you go elsewhere

The hotel was beautiful, clean and in the center of the zona colonial, the only issue we had was the toilet didn't flush. We called to get it fixed, a hotel worker came and toilet flushed for a while but then it didnt work. It was annoying.

We had an incredible experience at Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando. The staff was exceptionally friendly, particularly Felix at the front desk. The common areas were always spotlessly clean and well-maintained, while the rooms were spacious and meticulously kept. The hotel’s location was also convenient, as it was extremely walkable to all the museums in the colonial zone and various dining options. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay and have already recommended this hotel to our friends and family. We would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again. It was an exceptional experience, and we give it a perfect 10/10 rating.

This is my favorite hotel in Santo Domingo, the service is outstanding. From the moment you step inside the hotel, you're immediately greeted by friendly staff and mimosas. The check-in process is always smooth, each time my room has been meticulously clean, the bathroom is always stocked with every amenity that you can need. The restaurant serves a wide variety of delicious meals for your dining pleasure. There is something for everyone.
