Hotel Continental, Santo Domingo

If you want to have a relax vacation don't go near this place. The Room smells pretty bad, bathroom horribles, not hot water. AC feels like a fan. And you get charged for things that never happened.

This hotel advertises $55 US per night but you will get charged a lot more. I stayed one night and my debit card was charged twice for $152.49. I'm still in the process of disputing the charges after 3 months. Even if you don't get ripped off financially. This place is a dive. It's dark and dingy. The pool is tiny and old. The restaurant is nasty and expensive. The rooms are worn down and dirty. I never got towels even after asking 3-4 times. The A/C is a swamp cooler that barely works. The sliding glass door in my room wouldn't shut all the way so hot air was coming in all the time. Definitely pay the extra money and stay elsewhere.

It was a terrible stay, the room I had did not have A/C. The A/C was on but no cold air was coming out. I also suggest paying cash and not using a Credit Card. This way you don't get any surprises on your card. Not that I had that experience. But my overall recommendation is to stay away.

The double room was sold at usd.55.00 but before leaving the hotel other charges have been debited and total amount per room per night was abt usd.86.00. Three nights abt usd.258.00. The reception also charged a deposit of abt usd. 260. I COULD ONLY GET THE DEPOSIT BACK AFTER 40 DAYS AND THE HOTEL DEDUCTED A FURTHER AMOUNT OF usd.65.00. Very unfair!!!! My claim was ignorated. In the end the room costs over a hunfred dollars and honestly it is not worthing. I do not recommend this hotel at all and will continue to leave my rating everywhere in the web so that everybody knows...... regards.
