Hotels near Mercado Modelo, Santo Domingo

Casas del XVI is a truly special place—understated yet luxurious. The property is impeccably clean, the staff are warm and welcoming, and every detail feels thoughtful and unique. Each courtyard has its own distinct charm, making the experience feel intimate and personal. The dining was excellent, beautifully prepared and memorable. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer and never leave.

The hotel is a monastery remodeled, very retro and beautifully visual. The rooms are small, but the public areas are great, whether it's the living room, the dining room or the terrace on the top floor. Breakfast is simple but nutritious. The girl at the front desk was very good at English, warm and thoughtful, and all the questions of the visitors who came over for the first time were answered patiently. Great location, next door is the oldest woman monastery, a great place to take pictures of the sunset. The ancient city is not big. It takes only 5-10 minutes to walk to any famous attraction from the hotel. It is also very close to the only Chinatown in many countries. You can find delicious Chinese food in 15 minutes before going straight. It is so convenient! It’s okay to hit Uber at the door of the hotel to go further. The taxi is also parked at the door of the hotel at any time, and the small square diagonally opposite is very quiet. It is a worthwhile hotel.

Rested in February 2025 , next to the hotel casino and left of the hotel there is a supermarket good, liked also the roof pool in general everything is cleanly beautiful and comfortable, Russian staff does not speak

One of my favourite hotels in Santo Domingo. Perfect for location and if you don't want to spend 3 figures a night for a 5 star hotel. Renovated a few years ago, the rooms and decor are exceptional. The hallway can be noisy but that's due to the construction of the building as it does have some history. Breakfast is a combination of hot and cold and is served on the rooftop. Once again, staff are very helpful and attentive and I couldn't fault them for anything. Reception is always friendly and helpful. All rooms have a minibar and a safe but if the prices are a little steep then theres a National store in El Conde where you can buy all your needs at local prices. Your 5 minutes walk away from the centre of ”El Conde” or ”Zona Colonial” where there's quite a few US food chains such as Domino's and KFC as well as a lot of boutique shops where you can find something to your liking. Highly recommended 3/4* hotel with 5* service

I had stayed here before the pandemic about 3 times. The property is very clean, it is located in the older ”colonial” part of the city. Traffic in this area is a nightmare due to the narrow streets. SAFE area, police presence all over. The GOOD: Clean, Safe, Staff Friendly, plenty of places nearby to eat. Breakfast supplied is ample and of decent quality, food for linch or dinner in the hotel restaurant is good though limited menu, space for seating is very limited inside the restaurant, water pressure in the shower is excellent the room safe is large. The BAD: Room Small like an IBIS, Bathroom smaller than an IBIS, A/C in my room was ”marginal” at best and previous stays here noticed this, Elevator very slow, the worst part this is not a business hotel. While the Internet provided is decent, there is NO work space available at all in the rooms. NO electrical outlets available all are hidden behind furniture or the bed and no desk type area. Had to charge my phone in the bathroom outlet and use computer on battery. Also had a room phone and minor toilet issue which I reported twice and nothing was done. DO NOT have the hotel arrange for the hotel taxi to drive you to the airport cost is $50.oo ! Make your own arrangements or get an UBER. CONCLUSION: While on vacation for a couple of days this is a Nice place to stay and see the colonial sights and enjoy the atmosphere. However, ”on business” this is not the place to stay. I will be returning on business for a longer stay in late January or early February, unfortunately I will have to stay elsewhere.

Fueron muy diligentes solicite que me hicieran algo especial para el cumpleaños de pareja y me guardaron todo listo! Parqueo accesible, buena ubicación con lugares cerca de recreación El desayuno estuvo bien; la vista de la habitación espectacular 🧡 El único inconveniente fue que el agua caliente no funcionó y solicite cambio de habitación y en la otra habitación tampoco funcionó el agua caliente! Y la claridad de la luz del pasillo entraba por espacio de puerta de la habitación! general

The hotel's soundproofing is average. Living on the fifth floor, you can hear people talking loudly downstairs. The internet is poor, and what's uncomfortable is that the charging plug is not at the bedside! ! ! But the hotel's breakfast is great, with everything you need. I hope the room facilities can be improved, as they are a bit too old.

Hotek is really old the food wasn’t great and I wouldn’t recommend it if you have children as well

Pro: -safe area even at night, because just beside the militery area of the presidential palace, even at 10pm there is still a grocery open. - Breakfast is simple but good enough: toast with cheese and ham, coffee and a boiled egg. -Spacious and clean room, friendly staff, can refill drinking water. -500m walking to the gate of the colonial area. - Taxi stand is at the same street - Nice, spacious outdoor, sitting area - A personal fridge in the room Cons: -A bit noisy from the road/a bar until around midnight. - Shower is not really hot (only slightly warm).
