This is my second time at this hotel. The location is in Zona Colonial but snugged away into a quite corner. This is an older building but modern conveniences. I am happy to return.
Desayuno muy limitado: pastas dulces y cereales.
Está en un extremo de la zona colonial, pero como la zona es pequeña no hay problema. Solo que de noche esta muy oscuro
Hotel Portes 9 is a delightful boutique hotel. The evening desk clerk, Marvin, connected us with a tour guide, enabling us to have a delightful, informative tour of Santo Domingo. Walking the entire colonial zone from Portes 9 is easy. Its a safe neighborhood and Portes 9 is located on a beautiful, small plaza. The room was spacious. Breakfast was amazing consisting of eggs cooked to order (omelet or fried) with fresh fruit. Immerse yourself in the Santo Domingo culture and stay at Hotel Portes 9.
When my husband and I first arrived they tell us that we can't use the AC because they were fixing something with the light. So that was very aggravating since it was so hot. Then around 7pm the lights go completely off, we had to run outside to see what was wrong and they us the same story. Breakfast was terrible they served moffins and cereal and that's about it. Would not stay here even for free.
This hotel is small but very clean and well appointed. The rooms and hotel are tastefully decorated. The water is hot and the AC is cold. It is in the safest and most interesting part of Santo Domingo. You can always count on a comfortable and safe stay here.
very friendly staff, very good breakfast.
We stayed in room number 1 which was just up the stairs. You could hear everything from the front desk, or the rooms nearby...every time someone is opening or closing a door. The room was fine, quite old, but clean.
Bed wasn't very comfortable. There was one hanger in the closet. I asked for more, but never got any.
Front desk people were helpful, helped planning the day. Definitely worth the price.
Muy amables en la atención, pero no se supo ofrecer alternativas cuando surgían inconvenientes. Una tarde sin luz, y otra noche sin agua. De las 7 noches de estancia solo dos no dieron agua de cortesía (supuestamente incluida) porque "se le termino".
