“Only worth it if late night or early morning bus”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is in the same building as the Puerto Bus terminal - receives coaches from Guatemala. We arrived about 9 pm and were not confident enough to go looking for a place after dark in San Salvador. Reception would not let us see the room before paying saying something about security, which should have alerted us - foolishly we just meekly accepted. The room was clean, but there were no windows - it was simply a box. Staff were however happy to phone you at 4 am to wake you for the bus - even if you did not want to catch the bus at that time in the morning !

There is a small cafe open until late at night, which serves basic meals - the hotel lists it as their restaurant. Coaches start getting noisy around 5 am.

Really just a place if you are in transit on the bus - no other plausible reason to stay

“Handy but down at the heels”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2008
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here overnight in route from Honduras to the airport in San Salvador. It's on the 2nd floor of the King Quality Bus Station (KQ is a fantastic way to travel luxuriously city centre to city centre in Central America for relatively cheaply by the way) The hotel itself is on the 2nd floor (the DO have a freight elevator which is very handy) and check in was very swift. However the spartan rooms were just borderline clean; the linens in my room were very sparse and my only towel was ripped down the middle, but the maid had folded and used it anyway. The air conditioning in my room worked well, but the unit in the larger triple room was old and beat up and didn't work well at all, especially for three people. They must have problem clientele, because there was a notice posted on the mirror of the charges for breaking the various bits of furniture. The lighting was dim at best and there were no three pronged outlets and no adapters available at the front desk. They do give you breakfast though, and you're supposedly entitled to an hour's internet use on the public computer in the lobby, but it was down when we tried it.
This was an alright place to crash late night after a long day traveling, and they can get you to the airport in 45 minutes, but I certainly wouldn't recommend this for anything other than a one night dive.

  • Liked — location, right in the international bus station
  • Disliked — cleanliness
