Hostal Salome was an excellent find. We found it whilst travelling around DR on our own. Having stayed in another hotel the night before and being unhappy with it, we looked around and came across this gem. Closed up behind wrought iron gates, it is very unprepossessing, but it had recently been totally renovated. Overall very clean and well presented, the rooms are very large with good bathrooms and air conditioning. There are no breakfast facilities or bar, but you are in the centre of the old city so nothing is far away. There is parking right outside if you are driving (as we were).
We drove right around DR, and this was one of the best hotels we found, and the best for price by far. Of course, generally the big resorts are excellent, but unless you book as part of a package, they are prohibitively expensive. We tried driving up to several and some wouldn't even let you in!
Be warned! if you are going to drive around DR, it pays to get a powerful 4x4 with excellent brakes, as the roads are unbelieveably poor in places. Also, beware of the motorbikes. They have right of way in every instance - hit one and you'll be in trouble!!!
