I asked for a taxi to be called and a woman from the shop next door called for one. It did not come on time and asked the woman in charge to call again and she refused. I had to get a Caribe Tour bus so had to walk to El Conde to get one at twice the price. I was unhappy about this and spent 150 pesos more and was stressed.

“Worth staying just for the location”
Location - walking distance to old town literally round the corner! Safe as long as you are walking towards old town. Clean. The guy working there was really friendly and tried his best to make us comfortable even though he only spoke Spanish and ours wasn't great, he was very patient. We were allowed to have a late check out, as there wasn't luggage storage.

Location is at walking distance from many points of interest. Room has a little kitchen with stove and small refrigerator. There is no Coffee maker though. Room has A/C, hot water, TV with Netflix. It is a good choice for the price and it is comfortable. It is also very quiet.

“The owner is a thief! Be careful! The worst experience of my life.”
The worst experience of my life and i’ve travelled to at least 40 countries. The owner is a thief, she tried to get money from me as a scum. She asked her employee not to let me leave on the last day and they pretended to call the police when I said that I would not pay more than what was agreed via booking.com. They had locked the doors of the building for more than an hour and thankfully I was with a friend that was accompanying me and the taxi driver that was waiting for me. The police never came (it was a lie since the beginning just to scary me and agree to pay more), the owner appeared after an hour shouting and behaving like a crazy person insulting me because i didnt want to pay extra 1,500 dominican pesos (c. 30 USD) than what we had agreed. My friends and got scummed a few times in Dominican Republic, but it was never that bad comparing to this case. The worst experience of my whole life. I would never recommend to stay there to anyone!!
