My parents and I have been coming to Hotel Nicolás de Ovando for 11 years, and we truly can’t stop coming back. Every visit feels just as special as the first. The atmosphere is unmatched—classy, historic, and full of charm—while the location is absolutely perfect in the heart of the Colonial Zone walkable distance to the best restaurants police guarding ever street it’s truly so safe and amazing .
The staff make the experience unforgettable. Everyone is so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The bartenders are especially kind and amiable, and I have to highlight the bar manager and Eric, who is not only incredibly attentive but also so funny and genuine—they always make us feel like family.
The rooms are consistently amazing, blending modern comfort with timeless style. Every detail reflects the hotel’s class and elegance, and it always feels like a true escape. Recently, my aunt, uncle, and cousin joined us for their first visit, and they loved it just as much as we do. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic and the perfect start to every day.
Hotel Nicolás de Ovando has become a tradition for us, and there’s simply no other place we’d rather stay. It’s more than just a hotel—it’s an experience we treasure year after year.

Overall, it’s a beautiful hotel and wonderful to experience a place so full of history. However, it seems they rely too much on that charm and overlook important details. We came to celebrate our anniversary and not even a simple congratulations was acknowledged. They placed us in a room right next to a party, so peace and quiet were impossible. To make matters worse, next morning breakfast was insufficient for the number of guests, and it appeared they were serving leftovers from the previous day’s event. Beautiful, yes, but disappointing service, with much left to be desired.

Regretfully we had a poor overall experience in our recent family trip.
Much worse compared to other hotels we have stayed in the Dom Rep.
- Unbearable noise from an AC equipment on top of our room which the staff said it couldn’t be fixed. So we could not sleep properly during our 5 night stay.
- Nagging issues with internet connection, access cards getting disabled, lack of drinking water in the rooms, staff knocking doors at 8:30 AM… etc.
- Cockroaches and ants in our room. My kids were offered some cookies with ants inside…
- Poor standards of cleaning and customer service throughout, whilst no management around.
- Some of the staff were very nice and attentive, others not so and seemed poorly trained.
Definitively not a 5 star hotel.

Beautiful hotel! The breakfast was delicious and huge - there was everything from beet juice, hot chocolate, to custom omelette orders to muffins. One morning they served churros in a Carmel sauce which was fantastic.
The door men went above and beyond for their service. This hotel was very accommodating and right next to so many restaurants, and it felt very safe in the colonial zone.
The power went out on our last morning there, but that is not bad considering we were there for 9 days.
Hotel in general goes above and beyond - there was an emergency and the hotel called a taxi for the emergency.
I highly recommend staying here- it’s a little musty but I think that’s just from the weather in the DR.

This hotel is your best choice when visiting Santo Domingo. The installations are spotless with a great fusion between the old arquitecture and modern amenities. Our room, although smaller than expected for the price, it was super nice, clean and comfortable with a great view over the main tourist corridor "Calle de las Damas". All the staff was super attentive and helpful, and as you walk around the hotel everybody greets you and offers to assist if needed. This is part of the nature of all the locals. Very polite and respectful. You might have to pay more, but it will be money well.spent for having a place to stay that it is sitting right at the heart of the colonial Santo Domingo.

This hotel perfectly blends historical charm with modern amenities, making it a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Santo Domingo.
From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning architecture and the rich history of the building. The lobby is beautifully decorated, showcasing local art and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that my check-in process was smooth and enjoyable.
My room was spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, offering a lovely view of the surrounding area. The bed was plush, and I appreciated the thoughtful amenities that made my stay even more enjoyable. It was a perfect retreat after a day of partying in the vibrant streets of Zona Colonial.
One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel’s restaurant.
The location of Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando is unbeatable. It’s just a short walk from many of the area’s top attractions, including historic sites, museums, and lively plazas.
Overall, my stay at Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando was nothing short of wonderful. The combination of exceptional service, comfortable accommodations, and a prime location makes it a standout choice in the Zona Colonial. I can’t wait to return and explore more of this beautiful area!

Came for a few days for a wedding. WiFi didn’t work the whole time. AC worked in some rooms only. Probably won’t come back. Historic building but not worth sacrificing those amenities.

The tour guides are wonderful and are more than bilingual. Alexander was our guide. He checked on us daily and introduced us to different people. It was wonderful to be recognized and treated like family. Felix, who was the bellman at the hotel, was very accommodating. He explained to me where to go and answered my questions. The whole staff was wonderful. That was the most personal experience I've had in a long time. I will return.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I have to write another review because no one has gotten back to over the past year. This hotel took my money and did not issue be a refund. What a terrible experience this was. I made a booking from Dec 5 - Dec 9th. However, I only stayed one night. I was refunded for only one night because I demanded a refund for about 5 hours before I had to leave for the airport. They told me to keep in touch with their staff so they can sort it out. Unfortunately, the staff ignored me and my messages. I did not receive a refund for the rest of the days that I had made a booking. After a year, they replied to my review and said to contact them, but after I had contacted them, not a reply from them. This situation is ridiculous. Really poor communication from the staff. I think they just wanted some money in their pocket and wished not to give me the refund for my nights. I do NOT recommend this hotel. Also, the food is bad. DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL.

I loved it. You're actually staying in one of the colonial structures. And it's so nice to be in that area! The staff was very attentive and helpful. Good food, great waitresses. I've read some of the reviews that mention the HVAC. It's probably time for them to overhaul that. It was noisy when I arrived. The desk called to ask if the room was satisfactory. I hadn't had time to notice anything by then... So, I changed the fan setting on the thermostat, and it was quiet the rest of the night. I was on the ground floor, so there was some noise outside--rolling carts?, but nothing too bad. There are wood shutters for the window, which I really appreciate! Made the room dark--except for the blinking smoke alarm. I had this experience in Europe--why do they put those blinking ones in hotel rooms?? Oh! And the shower was GREAT!!
