The Hodelpa Nicolas de Ovando is a classic! this hotel has kept its charm, elegance, good service, and quality of offerings since it first opened its doors. I travel to DR rather frequently and I can consider this hotel my home away from home. The location is superb and my hats off to their customer service.

The hotel is literally emblematic, just the history alone makes the stay worth it. All the staff was very friendly, the location couldn’t be better, just keep in mind the guy who built the city, this was he’s house!! The whole zona colonial was very safe and fun many attractions to see. The hotel has a DJ in the pool area for chill not too loud afternoons. Everything about this hotel was amazing. I’ve traveled around the world and this is definitely in my top 10 hotels.
