Top Mercado Central Hotel Reviews

Hotel Abrego

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel está muy bien ubicado a una cuadra de todo el centro de San Salvador. Al llegar lo vi un poco anticuado pero las habitaciones son muy bonitas y sus baños modernos. Desde el portero y todo el personal muy atentos y amables. ( nota) el hotel no cuenta con ascensor."

Hotel Villa Florencia Centro

8/10 Good

"El lugar es muy acojedor, las camas muy cómodas, El aire acondicionado no era tan fuerte, y no tenían toalla de manos. Po lo demas muy limpio y a un excelente precio, bastante cerca del Mágico Gonzalez, lo que lo hace una excelente opción para asistir a algún concierto. Definitivamente será mi destino hotelero en un futuro."

City Centro by Marriott San Salvador

8/10 Good

"Rooms with no view, only the suites. Advertisement could be misleading as it is not specified."

503 Casa Hostal

8/10 Good

"A nice hostel located about 10 minutes from the historic center. The breakfast is simple, but we bought a few things and Lidia was kind enough to prepare them for us. Her friendliness and willingness to help was definitely a plus. The room was comfortable, although the bathroom was a bit small and there was no hot water. There is a nearby parking lot for $5 per night, but keep in mind that it has specific opening and closing hours. Overall, a good option for a convenient location and friendly service."
