This was my first trip to El Salvador and I must say that Florida and Jose Alfonso made me very welcome in their home and their country. They are both very attentive to your needs and helped in every way they could with questions about places to go (or not to go). I arrived late the first night and Jose... More

A little gem. Great small hotel in a quiet residential neighborhood. Felt like home. The management was friendly and very helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was great. I stayed a week at Hotel San Mateo and wished I could have stayed longer. There a many fantastic hidden treasures in El Salvador, starting with Hotel San Mateo.... More

Florida & Jose are excellent host's, nothing seems like too much trouble. They give you lots of information and have maps available. The room we stayed in was very nice, and the breakfast was excellent. The location of the B&B is in a residential neighborhood, but it seem that in San Salvador this is the safest area to stay in....

We stayed here for two nights on our way through El Salvador and were really glad we chose here. The owners of this B&B are so very friendly and willing to help with all your questions and provide local information, even giving us a lift to a local restaurant for dinner when we arrived late and a bit disorientated on...

What a nice and safe hotel, right in the middle of San Salvador. The neighborhood is very safe, the hotel very clean and comfortable. The owners were very accomodating and helpful. They arranged pick up from the local bus terminal and even drove me to the airport in the morning for my flight. I could not have asked for a... More

San Salvador was our fifth stop on a tour through Central America and our hosts Florida and Alphonso helped make the place one of the most memorable of our entire visit. The guest house is in a quiet area on the outskirts of the city close to a mall and the national football stadium. Florida welcomed us with beers and... More
