“All fantastic, Location, Staff, Apartment and Price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

We stayed a week at this apartment hotel. The best location for the money in San Salvador. This is located in Zona Rosa with many, many restaurants within walking distance, deluxe as well as fast food. A very secure area of San Salvador. A supermarket is located within 10 minutes' walk so you can do your own cooking if you want as there is a full kitchen.
PJ, Esperanza and Carlos were all super helpful. Esperanza found a great tour operator for us and arranged all the sightseeing tours for us with El Salvador Travel Plan, formerly know as Murray Travel Plan. They are also highly recommended and their prices were half of other tour operators.

PJ speaks and writes excellent English and answer your emails immediately.

They have the cutest little pool and we had our breakfast there every morning. You can choose between six different a la carte menus.

Wi Fi is good everywhere on the property.

The National Museum of Anthropology is within walking distance and well worth a visit. The elegant Bistro restaurant annexed to the museum offers excellent value lunch specials.

“Nice area of town, good place to spend a night or two”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

Rooms are very big for the price. Not overly luxurious but functional and clean. Staff were very friendly when we arrived. Walking distance to good restaurants and shops in a safe area. Noise does travel between rooms a little bit too easily.

“Best price quality ratio I found with great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012 via mobile

I stayed in Apartamentos Maria Jose for work. The place was quiet, full of light and with good wireless Internet connection. The apartments are very spacious and clean with all the facilities one might need: fridge, silent air con, stove, kitchen equipment, tv, etc. The decoration is not the most modern but it is pleasant enough. Service is impeccable.
Location wise is perfect, between the Sheraton and the Hilton, close to embassies and public administration buildings. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a shopping mall a short drive away. It is on the way to Santa Tecla, a lively town to go out at night.
The area is also rather safe which is important for those who like to walk.
I'll keep stating there every time I go to El Salvador.

“My San Salvador Favorite!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

I have stayed at the Maria Jose Apart hotel several times. Its located in the Zona Rosa area of San Salvador and the area is one of the safest and cleanest in the city. Although not luxurious by US standards, the large comfortable rooms have a kitchen and a living/dining room in addition to the Bedroom. The bath is nice and has hot water..... usually. The breakfast is not great.....Just around the corner are several good restaurants.... my favorite is La Hola Betos... great seafood and service. There's also a pharmacy on the corner and access to bus transportation close by.

“Location, location, location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012

This apart-hotel is very centrally located, it is close to commercial areas with plenty of food options. The area is safe. The apartments have one big room with a bathroom, TV with cable. The living room, dinning area and Kitchenette are well furnished. Breakfast can be requested to the room, they provide a menu with great local dishes. Laundry can be provided. Staff are friendly and helpful, PJ can manage to resolve any request. Just ask. I recommend this hotel for short or long stays, location, price and quality are top.

Room Tip: All rooms have good light and are confortable.
