“Amazing stay! Perfect location just blocks from Santo Domingo, surrounded by great restaurants and bars. Nice to be away from the zócalo bustle. Beautiful courtyard, Spanish-style rooms, and front desk staff were like angels. Delicious breakfast with a great view, even a guitar player one morning. The attached café had fantastic drinks and food.”
