Hostal Gato Colonial

We are a small backpackers hostel in the heart of Santo Domingo's colonial quarter. The hostel has 9 rooms and a roof terrace with a view of the ruins of the San Francisco Monastery, the first in the Americas.

The owners/managers are two friends: Claudia (UK) and Juan Carlos (Spain). We have a rescue cat called Kiwi. We pride ourselves on supporting the community around us. We love recommending local businesses and working with our neighbours to keep the street clean and tidy.

Nearby we have the weekly Sunday "Bonye" concert - a free Merengue and Salsa concert set in the monastery ruins.

We are also a few minutes walk from all the bars, nightclubs and main sights of the Zona Colonial.

We pride ourselves on our flexibility and on helping our staff and the community around us. We will lay out the expectations clearly (4 hours a day, 5 days a week) and provide you with some tasks we would like you to complete. We'd like to arrange a Zoom call with you before you come. We speak Spanish and English.
