Pros: Breakfast was very good. Customer service very good

Cons: Double bed was my only option

Cons: the room

Pros: Fantastic dinner in the roof terrace by the pool. Great service.

Pros: They have very few personnel. Thus, the service is super slow. It takes over an hour for you to get your meal, or tab or bill or even a simple bread or coffee. They only have one chef and two servers for the whole place!!!!!!

Cons: They took to long to come help me with my luggage there is a lack of management

Pros: The room was clean and large. Very comfortable. And tv in the bathroom was a nice touch

Pros: Gorgeous hotel in a great location of Santo Domingo. The rooms were beautiful and spacious and the staff/customer service was the best I have seen in a long time.

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.

Pros: Location was right in the middle of the city accessible to everything banks and shopping centers

Cons: The hotel clerk/receptionist was rude in questioning my guest which is the sole reason for my visit. The proper procedure was to ask me to follow or advise me of hotel policy and ask me to present id for my guest instead of rudely questioning my guest in aggressive and rude tone.

Pros: The staff really great! people were so kind and helping.

Cons: Facilities a little old. Some details in doors, windows, bathroom, pipelines

Cons: Small pool area with no view and very short sunny period (it’s on the 3rd floor and there are other high buildings nearby) gym is not in the hotel, but in another building and their pool was closed for maintenance Some construction works were taking place right under the window of my room, so it was very noisy sometimes

Pros: People at the reception desk were very helpful.

Cons: No hot water in the shower, hotel interior was not what I expected from Radisson.

Pros: Service.Excellent location and modern facilities

Pros: Good breakfast, IF AND ONLY IF you get the free breakfast in your reservation. Otherwise, it's $10/person + taxes (18%) and that is way too expensive.

Cons: 1. No refrigerator 2. Depending on the package, you MAY or MAY not get breakfast. The first three days I paid $113/night and I had breakfast. I renewed a 4th day for $140 and I didn't get the breakfast. 3. For 2 people, they only give 1 complimentary bottle of water. Each additional bottle is $1.20. For me the deal-breaker was the breakfast and the lack of refrigerator. I understand that the last day I mistakenly selected the wrong reservation (which had no breakfast), but considering that I had spent over $500 for 4 days, the least they could do was throw in the free breakfast. Due to the sneaky way they hide the breakfast option, I will not be staying there again.

Pros: Location

Cons: Dirty underwear from a previous guess found

Pros: Location

Cons: It was dirty. Msjority of tge staff did not sorak English

Pros: Location and proximity to Boga Boga, the best restaurant in town

Cons: Not their fault. The Pandemia limited their offerings

Pros: The room was clean and spacious. The girl attending was nice

Cons: but wifi didn’t work for more than whatsapp messages, in booking says 66€ then they converted to $ at the rate they wanted and they add 18% taxes hidden in the app so we finally pay 90+ $ that honestly doesn’t worth it for this hotel. You pay 10-15 more and stay in a 5star hotel. The breakfast was very very poor also.

Pros: Amenities were excellent. The ocean is right outside your window. You can hear the ocean in the living room, very soothing, the nighttime view with sprinkles of stars and the sound of the waves makes this a wonderful stay

Pros: The breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The quality of the bed, the space, the location

Cons: No hot water, no much natural light in the room

Pros: Rooms were lovely and food was great.

Cons: Gym was pretty basic

Pros: The property has everything you need for comfort and relaxing Will definitely continue to stay there Very happy with the place

Cons: Comfort, cleanness, and the way they take care of you

Pros: Excellent location, and staff very helpful and friendly.

Cons: They should clean better, specially corners and behind bathroom door.

Pros: The front desk were super nice and helpful they were on top of check in bags everything the best!

Cons: There isn’t really anything I didn’t like

Pros: Location

Cons: Very much a business hotel rather than leisure

Pros: theroom was good

Cons: Roomservice is horrible . After 1 hour and 30 mi they had the guts to bring the food . It had no taste . Pasta with chicken and i asked for a coke with a cup of ice . No ice no cup. No salt . I spend two hours calling front desk operators and restaurants . no answers !

Pros: Location and checki g agent was ok.

Cons: Terrible room location. One of the front desk agent -the check out- did not show any interest in keeping me and make sure I was satisfied with my stay. Had the opportunity to honor previous day price or helpjng me with the web booking to make it happen. Hotel appeared to be pretty open.

Pros: Location is in the center of the city, which was what we were looking for. Bed and pillows comfortable.

Cons: Have us a room directly facing the AC units on the roof, even though the property was not busy. Asked front desk, no response. No towels upon arrival, took over an hour to get some (and four calls to front desk). Dirty

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Furniture seems antiquated.

Pros: The room was great, the breakfast and food at the restaurant amazing, the drinks at the pool bar were excellent. We had a great time. We wanted a day off in town and we could not have picked a better option. The hotel was not full, staff used mask and everything was very clean. We felt great.

Cons: We booked a room at the premium level expecting the premium service, but when we got there, the level was closed and there were no benefits for paying the extra. They said they included the breakfast, but that was already on when I booked, so I felt silly for paying more. That might need to be adjusted in the booking options.

Pros: The food is very delicious, and the staff exceeded my expectations.

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

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

Pros: The staff

Pros: The staff

Pros: The staff

Pros: Amazing the staff that Clean the rooms

Cons: Restaurante staff very bad

Pros: Todo

Pros: I loved the pool

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

Pros: Clean and comfortable

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

Pros: I have a hard time finding solutions

Cons: Nobody couldn't help me

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

Pros: Nice rooms good beds nice bar and restaurant

Cons: Noisy street noise along highway

Pros: Hotel location is great, walking distance to everything. The pool is clean. Rooms are clean and well taken care of.

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

Pros: The bed was really comfy. The pool was nice.

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.

Pros: Love the staff, so friendly and helpful. And they can communicate in English.. my Spanish is really bad...

Cons: Location. Surrounding area..

Pros: Its in a great location. With a good restaurant and a very nice lounge area.

Cons: The first room that was given to me had a unpleasant smelled of humidity. The price was a little high considering that I have stayed in other near by hotels which are more modern and a lower cost.

Pros: Everything

Pros: In the city everything is close by within walking distance

Cons: Just remember that they offer services none are included in the price of the room. Which no one mentions while checking in. I go to the restaurant expecting breakfast to be free and was told I had to pay. I went back to the front desk to ask about airport shuttle service had to pay for that as well. Bad misrepresentation.

Pros: Good location at the city

Cons: People not staying at the hotel ,has excess to the pool ,top of the building .

Pros: All about the hotel, expecially the costumer service.

Pros: Location

Cons: room are small,bed is uncomfortable, they have a discotec on first floor and you are able to listen the music even if you are in the 4 floor until 3-4 am so you are unable to rest, staff with some exceptions are not friendly at all,bathroom is not good that's why they don't have pictures of there bathroom online, elevator if there is 2 people in there you are crowed, parking is uncomfortable I wouldn't recmmended

Cons: no face clothes and not enough towels

Pros: Comfortable and quiet, but nothing to write home about.

Cons: There is a hidden 28% tax after you reserve. The breakfast sucks (the breakfast at Island Life Hostel is much better, actually. They offer scrambled eggs, beans, waffles, toasts, natural oj, etc).

Pros: The room was ok,but with no towel. The breakfast isn’t good,you don’t have to much options. The location is good

Cons: The service due to no towels was in the room when I check in the hotel did not make my expectations on what was advertise and I did not like the breakfast

Pros: Staff was wonderful, I had issues trying to get Uber for 5am flight. No one would pick up my request. The young Lady at front desk, went above and beyond to help me. I think her name was Yesica.

Cons: The Curfew, which had nothing to do with the hotel. I was looking forward to eating at the restaurant, but it was closed.

Pros: Staff was friendly, hotel room were huge and comfy!

Cons: Aminities was limited due to covid19, sauna room was working, yoni steam chair wasn’t working, restaurant was closed, etc...

Pros: With covid all services are somehow modified, in such a way is difficulto do give a proposer evaluation

Pros: How hard everyone was working to make every guest happy from the security guard, housekeeping, front desk and management. Good job guys definitely you will see me again in October.

Cons: I don’t have anything bad to say about my stay there. View the problem we are facing right now with the virus. I believe that the staff has done an extraordinary job by policing those who didn’t wear their face mask so every guest and staff can be safe.

Pros: Inside

Cons: The way you guy served your breakfast

Pros: Location, Price

Cons: Room difficulties , GB

Pros: Location and breakfast

Pros: Good location; good breakfast; excellent AC in rooms. The beds were very comfortable. This property is priced well.

Cons: Cockroaches in room 1st night; poorly trained staff - terrible customer service skills. Internet service was intermittent.

Cons: Even do I've prepaid my room when I arrived short after mid night they confirm they had my reservation but they gave my room to some one else and hotel was completely full

Pros: Great location for business. Very modern facility. NFC activated elevator and the room gains power with your room key. Staff is very welcoming and eager to help. Internet works, specially in the dinner up stairs. Beds sheets are clean. Through the room, there are well placed complimentary water bottles, including one in the bathroom and several more in the small refrigerator. Room has a kitchenette, coffee machine and towel robes. Spacious & modern bathroom with beautiful fixtures and hot water. Overall, rooms look very modern, staff is very friendly, location is pristine, Continental Breakfast is very good and the view from the dinner is wonderful. If you're looking to spend a night or two near the city, this can go on your list for up to $80/night.

Cons: Unclear and confusing entrance to the hotel from the main street. Night staff is not trained as well as the daylight staff. Staff would not inform of the room key operations (NFC). Internet is slow in the rooms and cuts off very often. Beds are lower than expected and the room isn't as clean as it might look. The chair of the desk is kind of uncomfortable to work on it as it is not a desk chair but one of those plastics with metal you would use at a party. I found several instances of long hair, apparently from previous guests on the carpet. The bathroom had stains on the floor and there were residues of someone who probably threw up near the lower left side of the bathroom door. Also, the beautiful sink fixtures were in need of a dry cloth swipe and the shower head had mold and water residues accumulated on it. Although bathrooms are modern and spacious, the shower glass that protects the water from flooding the floor, is too short, so water do goes out into the bathroom floor. In all, this hotel has the infrastructure to be a very good little gem but small management details need to be addressed first. Just then, it'll be worth more than $80 per night.

Pros: For "Santo Domingo" this hotel is fairly priced for it's star rating. It's an older building, but recently renovated and redesigned inside. The lobby and rooms are modern with new baths (CAUTION: slippery shower tiles!). The rooms and public areas are clean. Even though the hotel is facing a main avenue (27. Febrero), the rooms are surprisingly quiet.

Cons: I know Santo Domingo well, the location is "OK" if you just stay overnight or are OK with taking a taxi to most everything. There are NO good dining opportunities besides the hotel restaurant. The two malls at "walking distance" are some of the older malls and only have food courts and the better of the two may be too far a night. The hotel restaurant is food wise OK. Sadly the staff is too busy checking their messages on their cell phones and discussing them with each other. I had to get up from my table twice. Getting some coffee and desert after dinner, took 15 mins to get a waiter. Another 30 mins after TWO warnings (the last one ALOUD across the room offering to either bring the coffee and pastery in one more minute or the Chef... 2 mins later we finally got the coffee and pastery). Breakfast buffet is "OK" but again the "service" is lacking training and supervision. Storing bags for a few hours after check out is interesting again. The desk manager has a room for it, but no clear process, has to find some paper and scribble on it. Checkout is another point of discussion. People checking out before us criticized and questioned the transparency and clarity with which the credit card "security hold" was being handled. This is typical in Dominican Hotels! My advice is NOT to use any extra services or pay them cash against a receipt. So that the deposit/hold/freeze can simply asked to be canceled. While there were 3 people at the front desk, only one was handling customer flow. The manager seemed busy with himself and an other "customer assistant" was very busy ignoring customers. All in all, it seems there needs to be training, training, training and supervision. While the rooms are fairly freshly renovated, some of the materials used are not commercial grade, and some are just not appropriate or safe, which is typical for Latin America. The shower floor tiles are not meant for wet areas and are extremely slippery (a rubber mat is included, USE IT!). The room furniture is already showing signs of suffering from the humidity (electrical power in the DR is very expensive, so they turn the AC off when nobody is using the room.... composit board can't handle the humidity, and I am afraid it won't age well under commercial use and abuse). At our room's bath room entry there is an un-framed person-sized mirror FLOATING on pins. Anybody falling, or leaning on the mirror will break it and may be badly hurt. Keep in mind, weather you are American or what ever you are, the DR has no liability laws like the US. So use caution... not just at this hotel!
