Esmeralda Guest House - Santo Domingo

This is our way to stay when we are in the capital. A little less expensive if we book.com and the price was honored. Clean rooms (but not hot water). Exceptional nice staff. A/c and ceiling fans work super. Cable TV works super, elevator works great. Great location as well as walk to subway, mcdonald's, taco belle, krispy kreme, wendy's, little caesars, national supermarket and a pharmacy. We feel at home here!

Great value! Clean room. Friendly staff. I had a heart attack during the stay. They didn't change me even though my things stayed in the room for a week while I was in the hospital. I recommend this hotel.

This hotel is well locacated for the metro, the museums and the seafront There are also many places to eat including Wendy's, KFC and other great places. The hotel is clean and tidy, the room was of a substantial size with good internet. The staff were very helpful and I would return to the hotel again if I was in the area. THe only draw back was breakfast was very late in the morning, 9am and for early risers that would be a slight issue.

I like the restaurant/bar in the lobby were great... I like the stairs to the top floor, it was a good exercise. I really liked all the fish in the lobby! I also had a good conversation at the bar. Overall, I would definitely visit this hotel again. The hot water shower was not so hot, but not many hotels actually have hot water so I was not surprised. There were some really cold evenings... and as a foreigner from a northern country, I'm used to hot water.

Very good and affordable place to stay. Large rooms and Internet and facilities work well. The staff is friendly and efficient The only negative is that they turn off the air conditioning in the afternoon and then you need to call them to turn it on again. Other than that, no problems and all good.
