| If you are looking for an interesting and cozy place to stay in the heart of the the Colonial District of Santo Domingo this is a great place. It is not for a luxury traveler expecting english speaking staff. The staff is friendly and the rooms arranged around a small central courtyard in an historic building.

| Humble exterior is concealing this charming colonial building, tastefully renovated and decorated in Caribbean stile. Museum-like appearance of the lobby is followed by a tranquil atmosphere of the internal yard with in-ground swimming pool and old tree providing a shade from mid-day sun. Rooms range from the small accommodations for traveler on a budget to the luxurious suite, with plenty of options in between. High-speed internet access at US$10/day is an unbeatable deal in Santo Domingo, excellent WiFi signal in the lobby with plenty of bandwidth to use on-line telephony; I was on Skype for hours without hiccups. Rooms have wired Ethernet and stuff is glad to loan you a cable. Internet connection may be interrupted for a few seconds when power switches from mains to invertor, but quickly comes back. Walking distance to museums and plenty of nice restaurants and bars, some quite trendy and pricy; ask for directions or just walk around and explore on your own. If you are in the mood to savor atmosphere of Colonial District, learn few words in idioma Espanol and maybe do some business in the New City, then you should stop by this B&B, I would most certainly come to stay here again!

| If small is beautifull this may be your place to stay in the "zona colonial" the Historical district of this city. You will be enchanted by this newly renovated 16th century mansion with high mahogany beams, thick walls (to protect from english pirates), century old mango tree (you can pick them yourself), spanish patio with swimming pool. All this with modern touch, WiFI, Skype, high speed, cable TV (all the US networks), AC, sertapedi beds. The staff speaks english, french and spanish, they give spanish classes (helps to bargain in the shops), they'll do anything (even bring you to the doctor if needed). I met a few american visiting profesors who stay there 10-15 days every other month. They keep coming back, work and leisure. Day time, visit the museums (I recommend Colombus ' palace (his son Diego built it), go the the nearest beach, at nights, open air restaurants, bars, discos and 5 biggest casinos less than 1 mile away. My place to stay, "mi casa es su casa"
