“The room was enormous and spotless, with an enclosed terrace and a colonial feel. Staff were attentive and there was convenient parking nearby.”

8.5Verified guest

“I needed wheelchair access during my stay, and the facilities were well suited for that. The location was also excellent for getting around.”

8.5Verified guest

“The courtyard was lovely and peaceful — full of plants with comfortable seating — a real retreat within the hotel.”

8.5Verified guest

“The location was a big plus, close to Plaza San Domingo and the Zocalo. But we booked because we needed Wi-Fi for work. At first they said it was a temporary issue, and after two days we learned there'd been no Wi-Fi for two months. There are cheaper hotels in the area with better services, and some even include breakfast. Staff weren't helpful for touring either, just pushing their own tours. When we tried one, the driver wanted a different route, so we cancelled and took a public bus.”

8.5Verified guest

“We stayed three nights and loved the place — well priced and intimate. The staff were efficient and looked after us. Breakfast was wonderful, with a wide spread of fruit, toast, and juice. Public parking was close by, which was great.”

8.5Verified guest

“The internal courtyard was a cozy escape from the city's energy, and the rooms stayed clean and comfortable the entire time.”

The bottom line

Parador Del Dominico earns strong marks for its central, quiet location and high standards of cleanliness and service.
