Snugged away
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.

Perfect location in the colonial zone
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.

Terrible hotel don't stay here
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.

Intimate, perfect location, friendly staff.
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.

I wouldn't stay again
The included breakfast is good. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of restaurants, art galleries and the Zona Colonial. Our room needed repairs. The wood trim entering the bathroom was disconnected. The curtains and rods fell down when I tried to open the curtains. We never had enough towels and had to ask for more all three nights. The facility is clean.

Great hotel, dicey area
The hotel itself was a good value. I traveled as a single female to Santo Domingo, and I would not recommend staying in this are. I did not feel entirely safe outside of the hotel.

Very noisy and could not sleep.
The hotel's location is within walking distance from the main zona colonial attraction. Our driver could not find it and it took us a while driving around to find the hotel. The room itself was nice and spacious but we did not get any sleep due to the noise from outside. It is so noisy with people drinking outside that it is impossible to get any sleep at all. The staff was friendly. It is a cute hotel if you do not intend on sleeping much.

Cold Water Ritz
I choose this hotel based on reviews and on price. Even though I paid for four nights I left after spending one night. As I enter my senior years I want a shower with warm water. I know it is the tropics. So What. I also expect the shower to drain. How much is a can of draino? The staff was friendly. The breakfast was good. The location was not bad for the historical district. Still, I would recommend spending a little more for a better hotel. This hotel is best for young people and European tourists. The only body odor I unfortunately encountered was not from the locals.

Excellent hotel for goid value
I only stayed one night which made the small size of the room doable. The hotel was wonderful. Friendly, professional and welcoming staff. The bathroom was quite small and there was space to put a table or shelves to provide space for toiletry bag.

Great hotel, very fair price
Great staff, very nice and helpful. The location is excellent: not too close from the main square (which makes it very quiet), but close enough to get there in 2 minutes. The roof is a very enjoyable place to relax and enjoy the sun! Breakfast was very good as well, and the coffee was memorable!

Nice cute like home stay.
This is my second time in this house.It is really nice to be in a place where you feel like home...Employees are so nice and are always please to serve you all the time.. Rosa, the manager is wonderful. The breakfast is keep the same every time I go very good. IF I recomend to change something, it would be the bed which is so hard but most people like that but I have problem sleeping on a hard bed..so That would be my only complain about the hotel everything else is perfect for me.
