Property info

Mamá Mambo is a hostel infused with the passion for storytelling and the rich heritage of the Dominican Republic. Each room is a homage to a woman or a significant figure who has shaped the country's history, offering guests an immersive experience into the Dominican soul. Born from the dreams and vision of Maribel, an Italo-Dominican founder who spent years in Italy as a chef, Mamá Mambo is her realization of a dream to return to the Dominican Republic and create a space where history, culture, and cuisine converge. Here, you're invited to savor the stories and flavors that make this place uniquely special.

Neighborhood info

Nestled within the heart of Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone, our hostel offers a retreat steeped in history and charm. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with the oldest European structures in the Americas, including the first cathedral, hospital, and university. As you step outside, you'll be greeted by vibrant markets, museums, and the quintessential first city of the New World. This area is not just a historic landmark but a lively cultural hub, where the past and present dance to the rhythm of merengue and bachata that spill from quaint cafes and lively bars. Here, every corner tells a story, and local traditions are as much a part of the landscape as the cobblestone streets.
