Hotels near Plaza Monet, 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!

Good overall location and the refurbishment since the last time I stayed is a huge eye-opener. Good to see more investments going into the area El Conde as the place was going into decline.

Stayed here as part of a medical service trip to the DR so we had 6 rooms for one night each at the beginning and end of the trip. We were welcomed with a warmth that is typical for the DR but there were a couple of problems on initial check in. Note that, like many hotels, not all rooms have two double beds and this was an issue for us, since our volunteers share rooms. This took some time and resulted in four of us being walked to another, nearby Hodelpa. Note that, even if you reserve a specific type of room, it pays to double check availability if this is important. There is a small, well managed parking lot at the hotel but the emphasis is on small. If you arrive by car, as we did, they will take your keys so they can move cars in and out of the tight space. There is a pay to park parking lot a couple of blocks away should the hotel spaces be full. The cost for this is nominal. Reception is airy and comfortable, with places for people to sit whilst other members check in. Once checked in, the rooms are accessed via a stairwell or a tiny elevator that reminds me of those one finds in Parisian hotels of a certain age. No room for more than 3 people, fewer with luggage. Also, the stairs seem to finish on the third floor despite there being rooms on the 4th! When you reach the top of the stairs on the third floor, you need to turn right, and double back on your self to find the stairs that lead to the 4th. Trust me, this is not intuitive! The rooms are functional but clean and comfortable. The bed in which I slept allowed for a great night's sleep and all was quiet which is a boon in SD which can be someone noisy especially in the evenings. I am not sure all rooms would be similarly quiet, but the street on which the hotel sits is relatively peaceful despite its proximity to the colonial center. Breakfast is provided and was excellent indeed. Plenty of choice and well staffed. There is a small patio area outside which is the pick of the available places to eat breakfast I reckon. Good choice of hot and cold foods were offered. Upon check out we were charged for eating a packet of ”Cheese-Its” from the room, which we had not consumed. One of the most annoying things in a hotel is having to argue you had NOT done something, especially taking things from the minibar, which I almost never do due to the high price of said items. I hate it when hotels make these phantom charges and, frankly, it happens about 30-40% of the time in hotels and necessitates an argument where one has to prove oneself innocent. Tiresome, even if it is only a few dollars each time. However, I would stay here again, it is a great base for the colonial center and very good value too.

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!!!

Breakfast is good, there are more varieties. The location is on the beach, there is no restaurant around, and the meal in the hotel is super expensive. At noon, I eat a burger + a glass of juice = 29$. Have parking, don't know if it's free

Greatest hotel experience in Santo Domingo. Good vibes starts from the check in with Jacinto and Jarlin which receive people with a nice welcome smile and kindness, they were very helpful with my requests. Breakfast area with all guys is amazing: Jessica, Franger, Henger, Rafaela, Julio Cesar, etc treat guest with a unique behavior. They really know the definition of customer care and service! And what about dinner at the restaurante,?Ramon and Luis give the best attention to customers, they are very kind and amazing person. STUNNING STAFF!!!

#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
