$35 Hotel?

Rbh44 · #1 07-19-2009, 06:44 PM

Can anyone recommend a clean halfway decent hotel for around US$35 per night in Santo Domingo? Not to concerned with what area as long as it is not a combat zone and A/C would be nice.

If you have an open mind, (this hotel had a rep as a gay hotel in the past, but I never saw any signs of this earlier this month) - you could try the Duque du Wellington hostel on Ave. Independencia at about US$43 a night. I personally like cheap, clean and quiet and could care less who else is staying in the same hotel.

Great A/C, quiet at night, clean rooms, good laundry service, but a few hustlers passing on the sidewalks at the end of the day, and several hookers patrolling the sidewalks out front after dark. Just tell the hookers you are married to a dominican and they will leave you in peace. There is a good colmado just across the street, a good restaurant down the block, and a pharmacy.

Within walking distance of Zona Colonial during the day, but probably not a good idea to walk very far after dark - you might run into trouble these days. Taxis respond quickly if needed. Their staff also speak many languages, and they have a travel agency in the lobby if you need any changes to your plans.

Hotel Monumental - (entrance on el conde) the cheapest hotel and most basic but clean. They want $45.00 paying by credit card or $35.00/night paying cash. (hotelmonumental.com.do) tel (809) 682-4747.

Gran Hotel Aida - (around the corner from el conde w/ some rooms above the el conde) very nice, clean. they want $55.00/night (email hotelaida@codetel.net.do) tel (809) 685-7692.

Aparta Hotel Roma - (around the corner from el conde w/ some rooms above the el conde) very nice and very clean all and all (everything considered) maybe your best bet. they want $45.00/night (email apartahotel_roma@hotmail.com) tel (809) 682-0318.

I personally would recommended the Aparta Hotel Roma, which has rooms overlooking El Conde in the Colonial Zone, in my opinion for what you get the best deal by far. Whenever I have a friend coming to town that wants a nice place, big rooms, this is the one I suggest they go with.

Suggest that you try the Maison Gautreaux. They have an excellent price and the location is the best on the island. You just can't beat it for the price. The place is super clean, with daily maid service and 24 hour armed security. The best! - They are located in Santo Domingo near the Intercontinental Hotel on the Malecon. They have a restaurant and bar and air conditioning in the rooms. Of my 11 trips to Santo Domingo, I have found nothing better for the price! - Call them at 809-412-7838 or 809-687-4856. Hotel Maison Gautreaux... En Santo Domingo, Algo Distinto. Tell them that David sent you! - - Enjoy your trip

David you have stayed there 11 times, so what is the price? I have passed by there and have plans to stop in one day for a meal to sample it's restaurant (quality of food, and prices), but again what's this excellent price for the rooms?

Yayow please stop by Maison Gautreaux and give us your opinion.

I had reservations at this hotel once. I entered the lobby and just got bad vibes about the hotel. I politely declined, and left never to return. There is really nothing special about the location of the hotel. Casano Dorado, Riazor, Duque Wellington, Hotel Venezia all have a much better location.

Also to the best of my knowledge Maison Gautreaux does not have on site parking.

Please note the lobby looks nothing like shown in the web link. Dakra do you have any recent pics you can post?

Getting back to the OP's original question of US $35 a night.
