    Upon arrival we were met by Ms. Nayelin,a staff member, who appeared to be always smiling, helpful, with a good command of English. The room was spacious enough, tidy, with a fridge and a bottle of gratis water, a big safe. The TV has Netflix (that was a great surprise!) and we watched the newest releases. The kitchen in the balcony which we found kinda romantic is a huge plus for a 3 star hotel. Unfortunately, there is lack of kitchen utensils. The hotel is keyless which was so comfortable, you just had to remember 4 numbers. The location is unbeatable. 5 min to the beautiful sandy beach, restaurants, the currency exchange office and the supermarket in 7-10 minutes. Next time we will not hesitate to choose this hotel.

    The whole place is in need of major renovations. Beside it is defined as an apartment it is more likely to be used as a bedroom. The kitchen lack completely of the basic tools for cooking making impossible to use it properly. That was the main downside for us, along with the poor comfort of the mattress and the pillows. The place is surrounded by buildings under construction. Most of the time there was a bad smell of sewer and the main road is not paved, therefore pretty dusty Overall, you pay for what you have here

    The location is great. It is close to the beach and restaurants. The lady at the desk, I believe she owns the place, did her best to meet our requests

    Only issue was the washroom was clogged, but they were able to rectify it quickly.

    Extremely happy with the staff, and the front desk, quite close to everything around, and also to Bavaro beach. Very neat and clean and there is also a backside entrance that helps to keep the dust away from the front door, and our room was on the 3 rd. floor, Very quiet and clean

    The room was not cleaned during our 6 days stay. Kitchen in the balcony looks nice but it makes it impossible to keep things clean and there are mosquitoes.

    The place is not half bad, clean and quiet. The people are very friendly. Wifi and AC worked well. There is a cold and hot water fountain in the lobby.

    Around the hotel are construction sides. It was quiet, but didn't look great. The breakfast could be more, often the portions were small. Also, the beach is usually owned by hotels, so that you can only lay down on your towel, but not use the beach beds provided by the other hotels.

    The hotel offers a great price for its value. It is small, but has everything you need. I liked the room code instead of the card, one less thing to take care of. The personal is nice. Breakfast was prepared every day, but you didn't have a choice. The beach is in walking distance. I enjoyed my stay, especially the beds were really comfortable. Every room has also its own router, so that the wifi works great. I also liked the kitchen outside on the balcony, even though I didn't use it, it is a nice addition.

    The views from rooms with balcony is not very pretty. The staff (4 girls) is immature and amateurs. They occupied the lounge chairs in the reseption and stay in resto during brakfast and make alot of noise, like they have a homeparty. Never a quit moment when having breakfast. They dont understand any words in english what so ever.😳 To me it looks like they dont care, and never smile. That would actualle helped alot. Everyday at breakfast my coffee was cold. When I told them on google translate, they didnt do anything. One day coffee pot was emty and they didnt want to make more coffee. They just told me «finito». Every morning I had to wait like 1 hour in my room for a free table since they only have 2 tables in resto. Some have breakfast in the reception. Its a cheap hotel, but still service can improve. I would prefered to pay double and stay at another hotel in the aerea who looks much better.

    I stayed here for 3 nights. Room was ok and clean. Comfortable bed. Breakfast is served on a plate and it was ok.

    We had issues with our reservation upon arrival. The hotel staff tried hard to accommodate us but you can tell they don't have a good policy for situations like that. Everything turned out great but better protocols should be in place. Make sure you deal with the American owner, as the local one doesn't seem to care much.

    Staff is extremely helpful. A huge shoutout to the receptionists, the cook and the cleaning staff. We loved the outdoor kitchen and the bed was comfortable. It's a very short walk to the beach. Breakfast brought up to your room is a sweet detail.
