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".
The Hotel Portes is a small hotel in a quiet corner of the Colonial Zone. It fronts
a small park, and, because it is not directly on the street, has no through-traffic
which makes it quiet. It feels a little bit removed from the main tourist area, even
though it is just three blocks from the main Cathedral and the Parque Colon; the
location is really terrific.
I found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. It helps to speak some Spanish,
of course. Breakfast is cooked to order, which is nice; I asked for, and received,
extra towels; wifi was strong and consistent. In short, it is a really solid place
to stay.
If you do stay there, please keep your expectations reasonable; the Dominican
Republic is still a Third-World country, so if you want the Hilton, go there instead.
My room safe was not big enough to fit my laptop; the electricity failed twice during
my stay; my shower had only hot (!) water, no cold; my toilet did not always refill so
I flushed it with a bucket of water; the bathroom door did not fit the opening so
privacy would have been impossible.
If little annoyances like these are going to wreck your day, choose another hotel.
But if you like the idea of a quiet little gem, perfectly located and staffed with
friendly people, give this one a try.
Has good air condition in the room and the bed was comfortable in a quiet location, very central to walking distance in Colonial area with great restaurants.
