Santo Domingo hotels near Casa de Bastidas

Cons: The two main negatives were the food and bathroom. They claim no one has ever had this issue before and they seemed pretty shocked at the situation so I will give them the benefit of the doubt, but the showers that we experienced did not drain. The first room they gave is the shower flooded the bathroom. They were kind enough to give us a new took but the next morning when we went to shower again the same thing happened. As for the breakfast. It was served cold as if they scraped the leftovers of a previous guests plate onto a new plate to serve it to us so that it wouldn't be thrown out.

Cons: Construction noise Basic rooms

Cons: Restaurante staff very bad

Cons: Nobody couldn't help me

Cons: Noisy street noise along highway

Cons: The room key has to be inserted in order for the air and lights to work, which is inconvenient. While showering, the water seeps through and floods the bathroom. There is no free wifi. The breakfast was not worth it's expensive price. The fan makes a sudden and loud noise. The cleaning service knocks on your door 3 times a night to check up on things. The gym was really hot and under construction. There were pigeons that would get in the pool. No calls can be made (not even local calls) unless a credit is paid prior. The toilet wouldn't flush and maintenence had to be called everyday to fix it. Things would be moved or gone missing after the room was cleaned.

Cons: Barcelo Hotel now offers gym membership and access to the pool to locals. Those who buy membership to the gym also are allowed to use the pool area thereafter. I am pretty sure that many local residence obtain gym memberhip just to be able to use a pool.. Well, this is a huge incinvenience for visitors and guests of the Barcelo Hotel. The day we arrived, te pool was full of local teenagers who were cursing, making a lot of unnecessary noise, inappropriately making out in the pool and behaving in a very obnoxious matter. There was no security nor anyone from hotel management around to observe and to correct the situation. To Barcelo Management: if you want and need to have a repetitive business, you must either ban te local visitors from using a pool or have someone to observe the disipline in your pool area. a

Cons: They charge per guest. I was traveling with my two kids and they charged me extra for each.

Cons: I didnt like the poor customer service at front desk, rude & unprofessional.

Cons: Very good staff Annie Bello and Erleen Garcia very professional

Cons: upon checking out I was approached by staff about missing towels, they actually dragged me back up to the room to count the towels; when I checked in there was one bath towel in the room, I requested more towels and they gave my 2 additional bath towels and 1 hand towel, which I left in the room; I even opened my bag to let them look and after finding no towels the be grudgingly let me go

Cons: The service was do fast the staff was super helpful and very friendly Eleen Garcia and Annie Bello

Cons: No elevator, took a tad long to check out.

Cons: The AC was extremely noisy, we asked about laundry, they told us they charge 1.50 per item. We gave them 42 items, then got a bill for $113.00!!!! To find out later that they charge 3.50for shirts and pants, and 1.50 for socks and undies.. they were not honest with us. Breakfast at the hotel was about 35.00 for four people, simply juice and a small omlet. No elavators! We were on the 4th floor..

Cons: The only thing was the location isn't as close to colonial zone, but not much they can do about that

Cons: Room was some short Taxi from/to airport is $40 (30 minutes)

Cons: Not a thing. Service above and beyond expectation.

Cons: Oh! the meals, you have to make some changes in the menu, like Dominican foods sometimes.

Cons: The rooms were just ok. The decor is very basic and one of my colleagues complained that she felt a bit claustrophobic in her room. We tried to hook up the computer to the tv via a cord-- and the hotel only has one remote control (for the entire hotel) that changes the inputs on the tv. The prices for the buffets/food were ridiculous. $35 for lunch plus 28% in taxes. This includes the 18% ITBIS and does not include tip.

Cons: The bright light outside my door was annoying at night.

Cons: nothing too bad, but staff was just okay, not super attentive and not particularly helpful when i had issues, i wouldn't consider them outright rude or anything though. e.g. -- i asked for a first aid kit or a bandage etc (in spanish) when my bf cut his foot and they just kinda shrugged and stared, so i just had to go outside and look for a pharmacy. -- i asked for the balcony door to be unlocked and they just never got around to it for the entire duration of my stay, etc. the free/not-free breakfast debacle: like another reviewer, i also was kind of confused when at checkin they said i had to pay for breakfast (the description said it was included). i chalked this up to an inaccurate description sent to the various hotelerie sites, and just assumed i'd pay for it a subset of the days, but then at checkout they didn't charge me for any of my breakfasts... so eh? if i had known it was actually included instead of hearing conflicting information i would have eaten breakfast there 100% of the time and saved some money : \ a lot of these might just be cultural differences, which is why i wanna reiterate that it wasn't too bad... i just wouldn't call it amazing service as i'd heard described in other reviews.

Cons: We had a junior suite on the main floor. The traffic noise woke us up on several occasions. Get a room on a higher floor TV was almost un watchable due to problems with the color. I reset it to the factory settings but no luck. AC was either full on or off. No in-between.

Cons: Didn't love the room we were given--under the stairs. But at the end of the day, it was fine.

Cons: The construction and the smell of raw sewage made me sick to my stomach. They pictures are obviously doctored bcause the rooms were small! They charged me $80 USD extra because I brought another person! This place sucks and will never stay there again!

Cons: I didn't like the bed very uncomfortable and the towel wasn't great they need new bed and towels my body was kind of ache by sleeping in the bed

Cons: The only thing that was a downfall was my bed was a bit hard. My friend as staying in another room and his bed was as soft as could be. I guess I got a bum deal when it came to my bed...

Cons: I didn't like anything. The shower was very small, the way they set up the minibar was deceitful. I figured the stuff was free to make up for such low quality. Literally over $60 for snacks you could get at a store for $10 or less. There's a little booklet that had prices but it's basically hidden. They did that on purpose. The room had nothing special in it. Felt kind of gross too but it was pretty expensive. I can't recommend this place.

Cons: The staff sometimes talked a little too loud outside of the rooms.
