The hotel has had a name change (Foreigners Club Hotel). I have to give the hotel, staff and location a thumbs up! First, the hotel... yes the Dominican Republic is a third world country and anyone visiting should remember this. The hotel is small but I decided on one of the larger rooms so overall size was not an issue.... more

We arranged to stay at this place for a few days, thank goodness there was another decent hotel nearby! We were instantly disapointed when we arrived. The pictures online have been doctored to make this dilapidated place look like a magestic mansion in Santa Domingo. Easy check in, which was nice, until we started walking to our tiny room.

The rooms were very clean with cable and hot water. The staff catered to your every need. I recommend going to the hotel if you want to have fun in the sun more

The staff goes out of their way to... more

The bedrooms are tiny (we rented two of them). There is noise--mechanical from the building itself and street noise. The breakfast was cold cereal, some bread, coffee and orange juice... more

I recently stayed at the Casa New Yorker in the colonial zone of Santo \domingo after deciding that I no longer wanted to stay where I had stayed for 9 years. I was definitely not disappointed. What a great place for gay people to stay. It is like being at home, with your family and friends. The owner, Scotch, and... more
