Jc Rooms Santo Domingo

Staff were incredibly friendly, very accomadating. The room was small but more than adequate. Bathroom was very clean and funky design which was cool. The walls are very thin so you can hear everything, so I would be careful if you have a family. Didn't dine there at all, and there was free water and Pepsi in the mini fridge, and the safe was cool too. But overall really enjoyed my stay there

If you're looking for a hostel experience, this might work for you. When we first read the reviews, we thought, this looks decent. No frills which was fine since we wouldn't be in the room much. However, we felt this was a bad experience and here is why: 1. The beds are like sleeping on concrete and the sheets, etc. are very poor quality. They don't even give you a duvet, you have to use a smelly old blanket stored in the closet. Worst 4 nights of sleep we've ever had in a hotel! 2. No sound proofing throughout the hotel. There are kids and teenagers running up and down the halls/stairs screaming at all hours of the day/night. You can literally hear everything! 3. They have old computers from the 90's in the rooms and they don't even work. The rooms are small enough as it is, why take up space with a computer and desk when everyone has internet on their phones? 4. Terrible wifi, never worked. 5. The service provided was rude and dismissive. We asked the guy that checked us in the first night for restaurant recommendations. He gave us a map and told us where to go. He said, "you'll love this area, all locals and no tourists and the food is great." What a joke! He sent us right into the tourist traps! Restaurants trying to lure you in by offering deals and people on the street selling tickets for drinks/discos. It felt cheap and dirty. Avoid this place and stay elsewhere unless you're fine with a hostel.
