Top Mercado Central Hotel Reviews

City Centro by Marriott San Salvador

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was right in the center of El Centro historico de El Salvador. You have the National Palace, Metropolitan Cathedral, National Theater, and National Library of El Salvador (BINAES) within steps of this hotel. Staff was really friendly and attentive. Definitely have to check out the roof top bar as well. Great drinks and even better food!"

Barceló San Salvador

10/10 Excellent

"Todo excelente. Sin embargo, sugiero hacerle mantenimiento al ascensor porque al no haber más que dos para todo el lugar, se satura con frecuencia y no soporta el límite de cantidad de personas, “bloqueándose” hasta en dos oportunidades durante mi estadía."

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."

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."
