Owner Florida is a pleasant woman who made our one night stay comfortable. El Salvador has a bad reputation for the crime so staying in a gated community made us feel a little better. Nice room and bathroom. Air conditioned rooms with cable tv and free wifi. Had pancakes and fruit for breakfast and it was standard. I would stay... More

Very clean and Florida does a great tamale-stayed here for two nights-arrived late on the first night on the tic a bus and Florida was there with a smile. Left early on my last morning (515am) and Florida was there again with that smile. The room was spacious and so was the bathroom. The patio and garden were just lovely-highly... More

Florida and her husband are truly wonderful. We stayed two nights in July 2011 and he picked us up from the bus terminal because we were arriving at night; I don't recall the cost, but it must have been very reasonable. The hotel is small but pleasant, inside a gated community, and they offer free wifi. Breakfast was good, though... More

Florida made our stay in San Salvador simply wonderful with her eye to every detail possible. She helped with taxis and gave great suggestions for restaurants and attractions in the city. The bed and breakfast is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Located in a very safe area. Would definitely like to go back!

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.

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....
