Casa Aluge — Hotel in Santo Domingo

I'm totally speechless. Paid $55. I would say "you get what you pay for, but this was another level"

First room we got A/C was leaking. We left to eat for an hour and we came back and half the room was flooded.

They gave us another room. This time the bathroom was leaking. And the Lobby person said, "OH no, don't shower let me change your room again because that water may be sewage". After I already got leaked on just trying to use the restroom.🤣🤣🤣

Third room (upstairs) looked like a closet and reeked of humidity as if I was the first person in this room in month. Restroom seemed larger than the bedroom though. Lol

I don't know who gave these great reviews, but it definitely was not actual...

Just be realistic: it’s a basic hotel, but for that it’s one of the most charming and nicest hotels in the whole area. Remember you’re in the middle of the uber popular Zona Colonial. The hotel interior is very nice. The staff is highly professionally and courteously. The rooms are clean. I’m extremely happy here. Absolutely great price. You gonna love it if you’re ok with a basic hotel. Manager Jessy Aybar is one of the best managers I met on my worldwide travels. Super professional and...
