Myrna and family as well as Ezequiel were friendly and attentive. The place is clean and comfortable. On my second day at the inn, I left my car keys locked inside. The whole family came to our rescue, and all in the most sincere and beautiful manner. My wife and I loved the place and when returning to San Salvador,... More

We booked this as a safe/convenient/affordable option in San Salvador on arrival in the evening. It's ideal for the first few nights in a new county. The hotel arranged an airport pickup which was there and waiting and the rooms are really quiet in terms of outside traffic noise etc. There are a handful of restaurants within a two minute... More

This is the best value, friendliest and cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in (and I have been living mainly in hotels around the world for the past three years). I came for a while and stayed a month. Here you are not just a hotel customer, you are made to feel totally... More

This is a great hotel for the price. The owners/staff are willing to give you any information or help you might need, and the 16 year-old translator is delightful. They made sure that our stay was comfortable and ensured that we got to the right bus station for our trip to Honduras. The breakfast and free wi-fi only add to... More

I came upon this hotel 6 years ago and have returned to it every year since whether I am alone or with my groups. I take groups of 4-12 people and have always received very positive feedback from my group members about the hotel and, above all, the staff. The staff and the atmosphere are very professional, but also very... More

This is one of the nicest places I have stayed on my whole trip. The rooms and bathrooms are spotless, the breakfast delicious, the location excellent but best of all was the welcome I was given by the family who own the hostal. They could not have been more helpful. I was picked up from the bus station and even... More
