Barceló San Salvador

2/10 Terrible

"I have been visiting El Salvador since 2021 after many years of not being able to visit. I have always stayed at Barcelo and never had an issues. Not sure if the owner has changed but the service was terrible this time around. For a super expensive stay, the staff was rude, the amenities were not like they use to be, the food was horrible which made us sick. What’s the point of having breakfast includes with my VIP status if it tastes horrible and makes you sick. The staff is usually friendly and accommodating but they were rude and disrespectful. Again but sure what has changed since August 2025 but the service definitely is not the same."

Volcano Hostal y Restaurante

10/10 Excellent

"6 Months Ago: Staying at Volcano Hostal y Resturante was like stepping into a home away from home. From the moment I arrived (and even before I got there), the staff knew me by name. Gloria recognized me right away from our phone call, and every single team member (Francisco, Valeria, Doña Milagro, Doña Jenny, Ana, and Gabriel), made me feel like a VIP. They truly go out of their way, day or night, to help with anything you need and treat you with genuine warmth and respect. My room by the pool was super private and comfortable. Every time it was cleaned, I came back to fresh sheets, a great scent, and all the essentials like air conditioning, WiFi, and a TV you can connect your laptop to. The pool area is a lovely spot to relax, and the location is fantastic. Just a short walk from MetroCentro, restaurants, and everything else you might need. And the pool was amazing and had some great swims in it! And because of the leaves, they will clean it on the spot if you ask them so you can have awesome swims. And for those concerned about hot water; Welcome to El Salvador! Most places here don’t have piping hot water because the climate is warm year-round, so it’s just part of the local experience. If you’re looking for a big chain hotel, this isn’t it. But if you want a hidden gem with an incredible staff who make you feel like family, this is the place to be."

503 Casa Hostal

10/10 Excellent

"A nice, modest, clean, basic property. The staff were extremely sweet. Good a/c in the room. Breakfast was made to order and good. Comfortable firm beds. A 10-15-minute walk to the government palace, Metropolitan Cathedral, beautiful squares and nice restaurants. There's no front desk, and you have to message/text to let them know you're arriving, but response was immediate and this was not an issue at all."
