Hotels near Iglesia Adventista Del Séptimo Dia Villa Carmen, Santo Domingo Este

This absolutely gorgeous hotel in Santo Domingo's historic colonial zone is the perfect home base for your visit to the Dominican Republic! The beds were comfortable (with very fine linens) and rooms were spacious, and the staff friendly, helpful and efficient. In particular we thought Hector the doorman/maletero, Clara at breakfast and Dilcia with security went above and beyond. Cannot remember the names of the lovely women at the front desk when we checked in, but they were also wonderful. The breakfast buffet was not only delicious, but there was a wide variety-something for everyone-without sacrificing several traditional Dominican breakfast foods (which we love and find are often left off hotel menus.) We even got a complimentary tour of the historic hotel and surrounds-the icing on the cake!

This hotel is in the perfect location right in the middle of the Zona colonia. We paid to upgrade to a king suite with a balcony. This is an essential if your staying in this hotel as the view makes up for everything. The view from the balcony was spectacular facing the city hall and right on the main square. The room was clean and comfortable however few small issues. The rooms have very thin walls so we could hear even the television from the neighbouring room. Some banging/construction work early morning so noisy. Lack of a kettle for tea/coffee no cups or glasses and no shower gel only small soaps. hotel has a beautiful cafe downstairs. Staff was friendly, Nori at reception was lovely and the location is probably one of the best in the entire zone. Hotel is just at the start of the main shopping street and easy walk around the zona colonia, small train at the end of the street takes you around if you don’t want to walk.

From the moment I planned this birthday getaway with this hotel. It has been nothing but EXCELLENT SERVICE. My group had 14 rooms, and ALL rooms were 150% clean. The front desk, bell man, and of course the HOUSEKEEPING department were giving great customer service. I was very impressed with the breakfast restaurant, especially Maria. I love this hotel. I give this hotel 10 stars. The pool area and food was EXCELLENT. IF you are ever in Santo Domingo. Please don't hesitate and make your reservation with this hotel. Great rates, great location, and GREAT STAFF. BOOK NOW!!!

Overall the hotel is still very good and the environment is really comfortable. I will come to this hotel next time I come to Dominica. And very close to the sea, the scenery is very good

Short vacation- 1st time in DR with my daughter. Loved the rooms, cleanliness, food, amenities (bath soaps etc were delightful). Good access to taxis- a must to get around. Did not attempt crossing the road in front; really wanted to go to the seaside- but that’s for next time 😊 Dined in most days- prices excellent (was not expecting room service to be so affordable in such a great looking hotel) Staff very professional. Did not feel hounded for tips at all, contrary to reports given elsewhere. Customer service was excellent- rapid responses to every issue we had (our phone wasn’t working on day 1, and we had to change rooms later bc thermostat needed to be fixed- was too cold🥶😅) I was genuinely shocked and pleased at how fast they responded and how sorry they were for the minor inconveniences. Bellmen Pablo and Alfredo 😘😘; they took care of us from start to finish. They made me forget I was in a foreign country, instead I felt like I was home. I truly wish them God’s blessings and hope they are there next time we visit! Santo Domingo very quickly became a favorite place of ours to visit. Renaissance Hotel made sure of that! Thank you all for your hard work- it is truly appreciated!

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.

#Praise# for the size of the room, the lighting in the room, the convenience of transportation, sound insulation, security, and the room layout are satisfactory; the hotel is super close to the airport, the reception service is very good, the breakfast variety is not many, but the basic models are available, like us The food is not large, the nutrition and variety are enough. Toast two slices of bread to make a burger, it feels good
