“Fantastic Value, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 April 2010

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!!!

“Simply Great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2009

I stayed here for a few days with a couple of friends. It's a simple set up: bed, bathroom, TV, fridge, night stand, writing table all you need and more.

The location is excellent right by "El Conde." And a few other tourist sites like the home of Christopher Columbus.

The service was among the best that we got the whole ten days we were there. If you have trouble with Spanish there is a fluent English speaker there almost all the time. They were always willing to go the extra mile calling cabs, getting bus schedules, providing maps, making recommendations on where to eat and where to stay even when it was to other areas of the island. As I said it's simple not a four star hotel. Hence the pricing is very reasonable, in fact it was the best we could find in the capitol.

“Great value for Santo Domingo”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2007

people found this review helpful

I walked up on this hotel wandering Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in January 2007 in its first week ( and stayed) and just returned from a short stay in October 2007. The hotel is located in a great place ( right off the conde in the colonial zone), the price is right ( at most $65 with tax included); it is clean, the providers are friendly ( Jose speaks English), air conditioning, coffee every morning, hot water, and cable. It only has 10 rooms but is a pleasant place to stay. It welcomes families. And they will help you if they can. Grandma even hooked me up with a local hair salon- shampoo & blow dry for $2 U.S. Not fancy but efficient & priced really well. This hotel is a little gem that once people learn about it, budget travellers will always keep it booked. It is a budget hotel with friendliness and class.
