I stayed here in March and had no complaints! The location was perfect, the customer service was fantastic, and the hotel room was super clean. The bathroom is a nice size and the water pressure in the shower was perfect. This hotel is literally a block away from the restaurant, Maraca. My trip was fairly short so my only regret was that I did not have more time to enjoy this hotel. I would have loved to enjoy my morning coffee while sitting at the small sitting area in front or my room or lounge downstairs by the small pool and restaurant. I would definitely stay here again!

VERY clean and comfortable!

Hotel Villa Colonial

This has proven to be the very best stay we have had of our 10 visits to the Dominican Republic. In large part our satisfaction is due to the the management of Hotel Villa Colonial.  Everything from the comfort of the room to the attentive service and the delightful details in décor exceeds what we have experienced in the past…often in significantly higher priced accomodations.

I knew from my many booking communications with the manager, Ramon, that he would be honest, reliable, inventive and kind. He was all that. And much more.

He has kept the old world feel of the building in tact while modernizing the rooms to a very high standard of convenience. His pride in the establishment is echoed repeatedly by the employees who literally glow with joy as they work. 

My husband and I were delighted each morning with the breakfast options---prepared to order, beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. And why not? Ramon is there in the kitchen---after taking the orders--- working along with the kitchen staff to assure perfection. 

Sitting in the breakfast area surrounded by birdsong, the sight of flowers blooming and the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven is almost more than the senses can handle. 

Hotel Villa Colonial sets an exceptionally high standard for small boutique hotels and is an incredible value for discerning travelers. 

Pure Perfection

This was our third stay and it did not disappoint.  The first time we stayed for 1 night before heading to the beach.  Then we stayed three nights. (Before and after the beach) This time we spent all 5 nights in the city and this hotel is one of the main reasons why. 

Ramon arranged an airport pickup for us and there was a cold drink and a lovely snack tray upon our arrival. I feel that they appreciate their guests!  We stayed in one of the rooms with a private balcony.  If it is in your budget I highly recommend this room.  I love the outdoor space.  The room is clean and comfortable with a fridge and mini bar.

Breakfast is included and is served near the pool.  Fresh fruit, juice, tea/coffee, toast and granola are served as well as a choice of an egg dish. (I think there are pancakes too.)  I am vegan and appreciated the almond milk and offer of olive oil  or avocado for the toast.

The pool, while small, is a great place to cool off and relax after a day exploring the city.  There are comfy loungers where you can read or nap.
Because we had extra time in the city we asked Ramon for suggestions of activities.  We took his advice and went to the Contemporary Art museum and a unique museum/home with local art.  I think the name was Casa Mella Russo, it was amazing.

Ramon also suggested restaurants/cafes that would have vegan options.  We enjoyed those spots as well.  They arranged for a driver to take us to Juan Dolio for the day so we could get our beach day in.

While the grounds, location, and room are great, the staff is amazing and what really makes the hotel.  They are warm and welcoming and go out if their way to assist you.  One day I asked if they happened to have a Diet Coke.  They went to the store and came back with a soda and ice and served it to me at the pool, what a treat!

Our 30th anniversary is next summer.  We originally were thinking of trying a new island but pretty much have decided that nothing would be better than a stop at Villa Colonial and to explore more of the DR.

My Favorite Hotel

Perfect choice for us for three days in Santo Domingo.
Just outside the very busy areas but easy access and felt very safe.
Clean, tidy and comfortable room. Stunning breakfast and delightful staff.
Loved the coffee machine in the room!
Highly recommend.

Perfect Hotel for Santo Domingo

Top notch boutique hotel in the heart of the colonial zone.

Lovely energy, attentive staff and delicious alfresco breakfast.

Ramon T, the hotel manager, made my stay most enjoyable.

I intend to stay at Hotel Villa Colonial again.

Great location and attention to the client 

As its name says, this is an old colonial villa on one of the more relaxed streets in Zona Colonial, just two blocks from the pedestrian vein of the Old Town. A lively “colmado” on the street corner, and front doors always locked for security. A two-storied old building with a patio filled with lush greenery and a little dip pool that is cleaned regularly. The villa is full of colonial charm, houses just a dozen rooms that are basic but very well maintained and impeccably clean. What makes this hotel special is the staff and the personal attention they are willing to give you. Ramón, the manager, who is fluent in French, Spanish and English at least, knows the town and the country inside out and is generous with sharing tips about events, sights, restaurants and domestic travel destinations. Any problem is piece of cake in his hands. On top of that, he is personally preparing the breakfast for the nicely modest number of hotel guests. And the breakfasts are to die for! I stayed in this hotel for 10 nights, and every morning I got a different, delicious à la carte breakfast with mouthwatering fruits, excellent coffee, fresh juice and chilled water plus eggs made to your taste – and you can’t even imagine they could taste so good! – plus a dessert (the banana flambé in rum was my favorite, already for the sight of preparing it!). As I was a long-staying guest, they even made a typical Dominican breakfast for me once, outside the menu. I could stay in this hotel again just for the breakfasts and the big smiles the boys and ladies in this hotel give you every day. These people stole my heart and made my stay in Santo Domingo so special. A big thank you to the Villa Colonial team, and to Jordan for the kindest smile!

6 star service in colonial charm

I've loved my stay at the Hotel Villa Colonial. The service was 5 stars with attention to detail from Ramon who welcomed us so well and all the rest of his staff. When we arrived, we were greeted with an excellent limonade and discovered a very well appointed hotel with great design, lounge music, wonderful smells throughout the patio, a charming pool, and lush vegetation. This boutique hotel has everything that you need with a comfortable, and quiet, bedroom with all the nice amenities. The bed is very comfortable as well. What I looked forward to each morning was the breakfast which was absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients, including fresh fruits, juices, wonderful egg selections and fresh avocado. The coffee was divine as well. Then I loved going to the small pool which was perfect to relax. The location of the hotel is in the "zona colonial", the old town of the city, which is very quaint. From the hotel you can walk to all the interesting sites and wonderful restaurants. Ramon knows everything about his country and can give recommendations of places to eat and to see. He is the nicest person and finds solutions for everything! I loved my stay there for a few days and would absolutely recommend it. The decor is amazing, the comfort is here, the breakfast is delicious and the service is great. You can't ask for anything else. I will stay here each time I come to Santo Domingo. You won't regret it. And if you like dogs, you'll be in love with Masha who will give you some love each time you come back to the hotel! It was a truly a wonderful experience and Ramon is excellent at customer service!

a 5 star experience in the heart of Santo Domingo! 

Highly recommand!! Breakfast absolutly fabulous. Confortable room and top Notch service!!! Cannot be wrong. I would return any time. Walking distance from sites of interests of zona colonial and many good restaurants near by.

Great place

Definitely stay here.  We loved this boutique hotel.  It's an oasis of calm, beautiful art and architecture,  amazing decor and colors. It was surprisingly quiet and zen like. The pool was refreshingly for a dip  And the breakfast! Oh my. Bring your appetite! A shout out to the staff who obviously love their jobs.  All smiles and Jordan's welcome is the best! Don't hesitate, book in.
