Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I was referred to this super hotel by another Ex-pat after asking for suggestions on affordable, clean hotels in Santo Domingo. Hostel San Francisco de Asis is definitely well within those parameters. Great staff and location.

    A nice place to stay at the Malecon, walking distance to Zona Colonial, and just a few kilometers longer to Piantini. Safe and good neighborhood. Big apartment, not the cheapest, but the Ocean-view upgrade is recommended 👍

    The hostel is (for now, more is being built) one room with six comfortable beds. Each has their own curtain, safe, light, usb socket, shelf. The room is nicely cold and dark. Cold drinking water is available at all times. The owner is very friendly, helpful and communicative. I liked the location although it's 30 min walking from Colonial zone. Caribe tours station is around the corner. I felt safe walking, and Uber is at disposal anyway.
