Enchanting colonial building, just in front of the pier of cruising ships. Impressive breakfast in the internal patio. A pity staying only one night... Perfect service. more

We are just back from a 3 night stay at this hotel and let me tell you we travel quite a bit and this is one of the best and nicests hotels we have ever stayed at. The food is amazing for North American standards (let alone DR standards) and the breakfast is very good with great variety and also... more

So to be honest, we didn't fall in love with Santo Domingo, but we DID love the Sofitel Nicolas de Ovando! We stayed here for a long weekend trip to DR, and we are ever so glad we chose this hotel. The hotel is beautiful -- it was originally a governor's mansion and has been restored with amazing style. The... more

Drove in from Punta Cana for a 3 night stay. There wasn't any valet parking, though there is a parking lot reserved for hotel guests directly off the street - just keep an eye out for the chickens and roosters that frequent the parking lot!

You do not even have to walk out the door to be immersed in history, but if you do, there are historic "firsts" in... more

Actually booked a room at the Sofitel Frances but it was overbooked and I got moved to Nicolas de Ovando. I had no problem wih this as Nicols de Ovando is supposed to be the more upscale of the 2 and is only a few blocks away. Staff was as friendly and helpful as could be though our room did... more

The reception and concierge spoke English fluently and were very helpful with all our questions. Check in... more
