Antiguo Hotel Europa

Santo Domingo


Considering the impressive-looking facade, spacious lobby and uniformed bellboys of this hotel only two blocks west of Plaza España, the 19 rooms are fairly unremarkable. Ask for one with a balcony to ensure your room receives light. Continental breakfast is served on a rooftop terrace.
