I travel a fair amount, stay in a lot of dives, and sleep well anyplace. That may color my opinion, but I just love the Hotel Odelpa! Some of the accommodations are small--that is true. But they greet you with a fresh drink. The staff dress stylishly. And the rooms are appointed well with a touch of class without overdoing... more

I stayed at the Hodelpa Caribe Colonial in Santo Domingo for 9 days in April. The hotel suited my needs, and the service was pretty good, but I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. I am not a very picky or critical person. This was my 2nd visit to the DR, and I have visited Cuba 4... more

We recently stayed at this property the first week of March, 2006. No question, the location in the heart of the Colonial Zone is the best thing about the property. Located nearby are banks, convenience stores, and restaurants (even the soon-to-be-opened Hard Rock Cafe) that are all close to the hotel. For the gay traveler, the local up & coming... more

We just returned from a 7 day vacation in Santo Domingo, from Dec 17, 2005 to Dec 23 2005. We stayed at the Hodelpa Caribe located withing walking distance of all the major attractions in the colonial zone. You find everything within walking distance. The hotel was clean and cozy althought the room and bath were somewhat small. We felt... more

I found a lot of truth the other reviews. First, the location of the Caribe Colonial was the best: in the heart of the Zona Colonial just 1 block from the First Cathedral of the America's and 3 short blocks to the Plaza Espana and the Colombus House. Its on a lively, safe street full of gift shops and art... more

In my search for gay-friendly hotels in Santo Domingo, I finally landed on the Hodelpa Caribe Colonial. I was charged $80 per night. The location is great. The lobby areas and corridors of the hotel are done up beautifully in art deco style. Not much in terms of common areas...the small bar and restaurant are about it..but it's quite nice.... more

I have been to Santo Domingo several times to see my family but I decided to stay overnight in this hotel after reading the many positive reviews. I have to say this is definitely worth the money. It's a little cute hotel on the streets of the colonial area of Santo Domingo. It is walking distance from shopping, dining, and... more

The hotel overall has a great location and is literally in walking distance to several restaurants, bars, and tourist attractions. Aesthetically the hotel and room was very nice and clean. I reserved a superior deluxe room w/balcony. The room had ample space for one individual, but got a little cramp when I received a guest. The bathroom was compact at... more

I just returned from an 11 day stay at the Hodelpa Caribe Colonial. Situated on one of the nicest and safest areas of the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo. There are plenty of Police protection (both National Police and Tourist Police around) due to the street be loaded with the Embassy from Trindad and Tobago, Mexico and many other Latin... more
