I booked a one-bedroom apartment with ocean view and got one overlooking industrial landscape, clusters of roof ACs and a dumpster.

it was bait and switch. when I asked to be moved to the room I actually booked and had confirmed, they lied the hotel was full (I knocked on the door - nobody was in the room that was supposed to be ours). and we are newlyweds!!

Very convenient aparthotel (so no breakfast!). at walking distance to the center. Friendly staff.

Nothing

excellent staff all around great location in the city clean and neat apartment good views of the ocean quiet place

no breakfast at this hotel a bit expensive since last visit 6 months previous

Almost everything, nice place

Drain in shower and sink was clogged, water would not go down.

It is always a great time when I stay here.

We go to there for second time ... and the stay was good like the first time, the location is near to the large hotels like Sheraton and Renaissance, so you can use their anemies too.

The parking is a little bit small, but ok. The stuff is very helpfully ...

I liked the staff members

I did not like that I left 3 days early and still paid full price

The Malecon of Santo Domingo is the main street along the sea front of the town. It's passing all the main 5*hotels you need to know. Behind the first row you can find several other hotels, just for a good price. The Shakey Hotel is one of these, it's more an apartement hotel. You rent a full 2-rooms-apartment with complete kitchen and 2 bathrooms. The rooms are huge enough for a small family of 2 or 3 person, they have bigger one too. Some rooms have the front view directly to the sea, but this is not recommended because of the very noisy Malecon and the direct sunshine from south, this could be very hot in summer times. The kitchen is full with equipment, but a regular world traveller knows, that nothing is perfect and can handle this. The next big supermarket LaSirena or National supermercado is about 5min far by car. Due the heavy traffic on daytime, it's better your visit them in the night up to 10p.m. The parking lot is ok, but you need request one for your car. They have a 24/7 service for protection, you can feel very safe overthere. It's a good adress working and visit at the government and administration offices, because many of them are nearby.

Some heavy noises of a fridge, can make your night a little bit nightmare. The traffic to the hotel is a little bit tricky, you need find your best way to there. The sightseeing hotspots are a little bit far from the hotel, but with the car your can be at the Zona Colonial within 10 min.

Nice view, safety, location, friendly staff

horrible wifi, better maintenance, water pressure

Great location. Nice view

Love love love staying here! Staff is amazing. We stay here every 6 to 7 months for the past 2 years and we love it. Will always come back. Sea view is amazing

Everything is always perfect!

Excellent

My stay was great! Stayed here maybe a dozen times...so that says a lot.

The staff is always friendly and very helpful. The place is always clean...I love it.

Nice location for viewing the festival and near Zone Colonial for shopping and nightlife

Change/Cancellation policy different on-site compared to the document signed at the hotel

Good area

Very friendly and helpful service. Location is great if you want to be close to Zona Colonia, and not in the zona.

The streets are buzzing with traffic.
