Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando

beautiful historic hotel, our colonial room was great and the location is excellent

This hotel is a unique stay, as the former home / mansion of the first Spanish governor of the area. The building was expanded and now is run by a Dominican company on behalf of the government, which continues to own the facility. The whole site is very impressive, very historic, with all the charm that that conveys. One of the most unique properties I've ever stayed in and would absolutely stay there again. Walking distance to Parque Colon, nearby museums, shopping, the cathedral, as well as many restaurants, bars, etc. Excellent location.

This is by far the best place to stay in the Colonial area of Santo Domingo. It is centrally located, the building itself is a landmark. The included buffet breakfast was always fresh with tons of options. Staff is very friendly, and speak English. We wanted to go to a Baseball game, and they went out of their way to find tickets for us to a sold out game. The pool is a fun place to hang out when not touring the many, many historical sights of the city.

The staff was lovely and very helpful and spoke great English. The public areas of this hotel are absolutely beautiful. We had a problem with the ac in our room and the staff fixed it immediately. The shower was terrific. I have very thick hair and often have a great deal of trouble washing my hair. Water pressure was fantastic.

very nice antique building. we stayed in the Colonial room, there are two types of Colonial, one with shower and other with shower. the bath one is much smaller so we choose the shower much spacious and comfortable. the breakfast is plenty and they even serve sparkling mimosas. the local honey was delicious. the pool is great. we enjoyed our stay. little over price but to be in the Main Street in historic building made the experience more unique. would definitely come back.
