Mercure Comercial Santo Domingo

It was a very pleasant stay. The room was clean large and well equipped. Even if the mini bar was a bit pricey as they usually are.

Small hotel in the best location with a great staff ready to help you at any time.

I work in the hotel industry in NYC so I know what to expect from hotels when I travel abroad and I do so quite often. I arrived at the Mercury Hotel and was pleased with the location/area. The check-in agent was very friendly and helpful. The room was small but had all the required amenities. Clean and bright, hot running water, comfortable bed ,working TV and mini-bar. The breakfast set-up was fantastic and the waiter Felix was very helpful and kind. The location is ideal as you are only steps away from the tourist and all the night spots. I will definitely return for New Year's weekend, please have lunch or dinner at the hotel the food was some of the best cuisine I had in DR. I complimented the chef and the staff. I will definitely return and I highly recommend the Hotel Mercury for your upcoming travels . ...read more

Mercure is a decent hotel and good for the money. This was my first time in Santo Domingo, but stayed in Punta Cana for a few days before coming here. It's located in the middle of Zona Colonial, where you'll see much beautiful colonial Spanish architecture, where much of the city's attractions are located. I stayed for four nights here and was a bit too much as you can probably see most of the main attractions in two days. The morning breakfast here, which goes from 7-10 am, is pretty good and you can eat as much as you want to prepare for a lot of walking and sweating. There's a mini bar fridge in the room that I used to store my supermarket bought waters and snacks, as the snacks and drinks in the fridge are such a rip off. Fortunately there's a supermarket on Called El Conde called La Dispensa where you can stock up on stuff, if you're on a budget. I also recommend modelo mercado if you intend on buying crafts, amber/Larimer, and other stuff; it's a lot cheaper here than by the streets of zona colonial. It was a good thing I brought my WiFi enabled laptop with me, which helped me find some other nearby attractions like Los Tress Ojos, Columbus lighthouse, and the aquarium, which is by the beach; they’re all in an approx 5 kilometer radius from each other on the east side of the river. This hotel overall is good for price, but it's mostly about location. Make sure to clap when you land in Santo Domingo. ...read more

They charge you for everything, even if somebody is going up with you to the room. The food in the restaurant is greasy. They don't have micowaves or iron and iron boards in the rooms
