The best hotel in zona colonial.

The property was beautiful. The only complaint I have is, we weren’t allowed to bring anything in from the outside and I think that was ridiculous. Butler service ends at 11pm and so if you woke up needing a drink and a late night snack you are unable to get it. Or even if you came in from a late night it’s the same nothing in your room to neutralize your stomach before bed.

Wonderful experience in the historical area of Santo Domingo. Staying at Casas XVI brings you to the glamour of the old years in Dominican Republic when everything began in the Caribbean. Great service, friendly staff, personalized attention and good food. This is the best way to enjoy Santo Domingo.

Amazing staff

When I was at this property two years ago, it was phenomenal. Now? In my opinion, it is gone downhill and that is not the fault of the employees that’s a message for upper management and ownership. The unit that we were in needed repairs and looked very tired For a property that is really the king of the hill we need maintenance. We need love.
The staff housekeeping and Butler were amazing upper management. I’m not thrilled with. We could smile more. We could pretend we’re interested more unlike regular staff who were phenomenal. Upper management seemed too stoic and unhappy and too disinterested. I really hope in the future they fix some of these issues because The properties and the general idea of the properties is really excellent. But I was not thrilled with my last five night visit.

This trip was absolutely splendid. The staff was friendly and attentive. Every corner of every room was unique, chic and inspirational. Every time I left and returned, it gave me a warm “welcome back home” feeling. I even got a sneak peek into the other 2 rooms in our shared villa and feel in love with each rooms difference.
Having room service can be a bit expensive and some dishes need a little more seasoning but it was filling.
As for the location, it’s a cool 3 min. walk to the main streets to explore and to be picked up from for excursions.
Overall, I will be returning.

It’s a beautifull historic house with an amazing decoration but my room was directly on a busy road with noisy cars, I could even hear people talking on the sidewalk until 3AM and the staff at 7:30AM talking and cleaning the courtyard.
At Checkin I asked them if this room is quiet, They said YES Sir ! At checkout I told them and they apologised,end of story.

This is a gem in the Zona Colonial. The accommodations are beautiful and the service is impeccable. We had breakfast every day on the patio and just loved it. They really show each guest special attention and I miss it already.

Hotel consists of beautiful and peaceful old houses spread over 2-3 blocks each with a small pool…very calm and relaxed haven. All staff I encountered were very professional and friendly.

Great boutique hotel with the best location if you want to visit the Zona Colonial. Considering teh steep price I’d expected a better concierge service (which was basically non existing and a better check in process). Also the hotel lacks a common area. The houses are spread sacross two different blocks and the main lobby’s doors remain shut most of the time. This hotel has great potential. It just need a little bit morte.
3.0
This place was a huge disappointment. The location is wrong in Orbitz, and when you finally get there, is not properly identified. They check you in in a "main house" and then they walk you for a few blocks to the house where you are staying.
They were advertising the Luxury Superior Room as having a "private in-room pool" which is completely false. The tiny pool that you see in the pictures and you think is a private in room pool, is actually the only and shared pool in the house. This are tiny houses located in a colonial area and the concept is very interesting but poorly executed. There were 3 bedrooms in the house I stayed, and they were all sharing that one tiny pool. There's no fridge in the room, no phones and any service you need you have to request it to the staff through a chat but there was no reception in the room (cellphone signal) and the wifi was not working so it was very difficult to request anything.
There was no kitchen in the house, the kitchen is blocks away so anything you order arrives cold. Additionally there was no ice machine or cold water in the room or anywhere near.
The area where that house was located was a wide alley, there was a power outage (which is pretty common in the country) and the walk back to the house from a restaurant was pitch dark and pretty sketchy/dangerous, as they only bothered to power up one light at the door of the house with their power generator.
There's many better hotels for that price.
