Boutique Palacio Hotel

I was very happy staying in this hotel. I had the what is called the "superior" level room which was large, spotlessly clean, very quiet and very comfortable. Quality of construction of room items and furniture was very high, not flimsy or shabby. Very comfy bed. Bathroom had two sinks marble/tile. Room had fast internet. I spent time working in the room which was very comfortable. I left small tips in the room and unexpectedly the maid delivered fresh flowers. Hotel was excellent value and good location in the zona colonial. The... more

This old world charm hotel has beautiful rooms, great service and the security is top notch. Its located right in the heart of the colonial zone and its walking distance to restaurants and night life. They are adding a pool which should be built by next year just in time for my next vacation because I'm definetely staying there again.

The Hotel Palacio is a great getaway place to stay while visiting Santo Domingo. I requested a superior room during my stay. The room was very clean and suprisingly spacious, especially the bathroom. Everything worked well, and I didnt experience any unexpected power outages while I was there. The mattress on the bed was a little firmer than what I am accustomed to, but I slept well nonetheless. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful, which is refreshing after coming in off the Conde street with the many vendors and pedistrians. The staff is... more

Rarely do the words budget and great service go together, but Hotel Palacio has successfully combined them for our benefit. How fortunate I feel to have discovered this gem of a hotel perfectly set in the heart of Santo Domingo's Zona Colonial. From the Front Desk staff to the cleaning crew and the waitress at breakfast, the service was impeccable. My friends and I stayed 2 nights at the Palacio on our way to Las Terrenas. And I stayed 3 nights on my return. The first morning I had breakfast there on my return, the waitress had... more

amazing room staff very helpful good security close to everything. highly reccomend enjoyed my stay will certainley return.

I loved th hotel, excellent quality-price. My bedroom was awesome, very clean and with a new bathroom. Nice breakfast buffet for $6. Perfect location in the most interesting part of the city. 1 block away from calle Conde and several blocks form Plaza de Espana, Cathedral and most of the monuments. Also, close to the night life.

Me and my buddies stayed at the Palacio during Easter week and had a great time. Nice restaurants, shopping, and night life are all close by. I am a african american professional and if you are looking for value, excellent service, old world elegance and charm, you will not be disappointed with this selection. It was definently a nice change from the chain and glitzy hotels. In addition, if you are a single male, this is one of the few hotels in Santo Domingo that will allow female guest with no hassle. Just remember to give the... more

We stayed at El Palacio before it was renovated, back in 1974! I loved it for its exotic antique style as well as its central location (we could walk to many other historic sites like the palace of Cristoforo Colombo). I hope it hasn't been TOO modernized, but the exterior certainly doesn't indicate that. It just appears cleaned and brightened.

I was surfing the net, and I stumbled on the site to this hotel. On a whim I booked one night. Upon my arrival I was blown away by the most amazing room! I loved it so much I stayed 4 additional nights. A real palace in the heart of the colonial area. I stayed in the suite and I felt like a real princess in a PALACE!! I highly recommend Hotel Palacio. STAY THERE!!! You will not regret it.

Restored colonial hotel, charming,economical,and within walking distance of the Conde (open mall) in Santo Domingo's historic colonial zone! Former residencia of the President.
