Alojamiento en Centro Histórico, bonito, cómodo y buen precio.

La antigüedad de la casa y sus detalles arquitectectonicos, estilo europeo.

Has potential

The hostel is in a fantastic and safe location - exceptionally close to all amenities including cafes, restaurants and the cathedral. It's also a beautiful building, although it needs a bit more TLC and love too. It has a kitchen which was good to cook meals in, but the microwave wasn't working and there wasn't much cutlery or glasses. Great value for money and staff members were happy to help when they could. The housekeeper was cheerful.

Although the staff were kind, sometimes there was no-one present at reception during the day - meaning that we were locked in the building on the day we were leaving Santa Ana as the front door could only be opened by them (however, we eventually managed to find a way to leave via the back entrance in order to get breakfast). There's also a strict 10pm curfew at night where you're unable to leave or be let in. Additionally, although laundry was meant to be same day service (we were promised it would be ready midday after giving it in the morning, something we also confirmed the previous day as we were on a tight schedule), my friend's laundry wasn't handed to her until late morning the next day despite repeated reassurances from the previous afternoon that it would just be one more hour. In this matter, staff were not very helpful. There were no apologies but when pushed, a partial refund was offered. This, alongside being locked in and staff not being accessible, meant that we returned to San Salvador at a later time for our onward shuttle. Lastly, in our twin room, the toilet and shower weren't in a separate room and therefore didn't have ceilings, meaning we had to use a different bathroom outside the room to maintain some privacy! The hotel is promising but it needs some work.

Enjoy the beautiful of staying in a colonial mansion in Santa Ana!

The building is old colonial mansion. I love the layout, open area and courtyards.

Adjust to the shower need to be made. In order for guest to meet their needs, a working microwave should be included in the guest kitchen.

Good

The owner and his sons were very friendly and helpful; large room; wi-fi worked really well in my room as did the air-conditioning; great location not far from the main square, shops, and restaurants

The hostel was a bit rough around the edges; the room I was in definitely needs a new showerhead as the water was barely coming out

Nice central hostel

Very close to town, nice and helpful staff. We has air con which helped a lot. The building was lovely and classical, I personally had no issues the maintenance of the place. Our private room was huge.

Trying to get in/out of the hostel was hard because we always had to bluse the door bell- in saying that this seems to be an issue in a number of Santa Ana hostels. Some free water would have been great.

Very good

Excellent location, right by the park. The room was really big, as was the bathroom. Staff is kind and available to help. There is a really nice courtyard inside.

Our only complaint is the noise. While it is a nice room, it was impossible to sleep. The room is right on the road, and I guess because it's an old building, there is not much blocking sound out. It feels like you're on the road with the cars. Because of its central location, cars are driving by all night long. Still fine for the price, but be aware when booking that if you're a light sleeper, this will be a tough place to stay.

Very good

Just 2 blocks from Central Park; the price is hard to beat; Pepe is a very helpful and good soul!

The property itself was just fine; rather, it’s a bit more of a challenge finding the right bus terminals either for the volcano hike or to go elsewhere like San Salvador. it’s all doable though and is more of an indictment on El Salvador not being quite as tourist friendly as other countries.

Great place to stay in Santa Ana

Great staff, wifi worked well, the hostel rooms were semi-private (they had walls and curtains which effectively gave you your own private space). There was a nice courtyard area to relax, a kitchen you could use, and lockers to store your valuables in. Also the hostel is located a two minute walk from the main square (which also has a decent-sized supermarket and several food options)

The toilets didn’t appear to be cleaned on a daily basis

No breakfast was offered, they have the kitchen and setup, but wasn't offered as described on Booking.com. Unlike most hostels, they didn't have bottled drinkable water.

Great value for money and very close to the main plaza. The old building is really beautiful. Chris and Pepe were both super-friendly and spoke good english. Definitely the friendliest place we stayed at in El Salvador.

The building is a bit run-down in places, but it is still beautiful and great value.

Best Staff ever!

The staff is super funny and helpful. They can help you with everything. Also nice vibes and not complicated at all.

The laundry service is quite expensive. About 10 dollars per load.

The history makes this place pretty cool, everything else is... acceptable.

I have to admit, it feels pretty fun to be staying in such a historic house. The rooms were massive (as I suppose one might expect, given it's presidential past) and there was a nice courtyard inside. It would have been hard to get much closer to all of the activity in Santa Ana's main square than this hostel and the area also felt surprisingly safe (even at night). Although we don't remember seeing it advertised, there was a kitchen available (though it was pretty dirty and not the most pleasant to cook in).

Staff seemed at bit uncoordinated, unable to locate keys for awhile, forgetting towels, not realizing we'd paid and not knowing we'd checked out when we came back the next afternoon to get our luggage. Also, we were charged $1 more than the Booking.com price, which (thankfully) seems to be much less common these days.

Wonderful historic place

It’s not everyday that you find a hostel in a former president’s house, but that’s what you got in Santa Ana. Pedro José Escalón used to live here in the beginning of the 20th century. It’s a beautiful house - a bit run down from the outside but certainly majestic inside.
