Hotel Alicante San Salvador

the staff is very friendly, food at the hotel restaurant is really good. close to San Salvador and Santa Tecla which make it very convenient for mi, i think the rooms needs a little upgrade but they are very clean.

Comfortable and clean. The included breakfast was simple but tasty. The staff was courteous. Individual A/C and hot showers.

I loved it. Friendly and nice staff, even had a tour guide recommend for me.

The location is great, with several good pupuserias and shops nearby, and only a $5 taxi ride from most places. The rooms are clean, uncluttered, and have good showers with lots of pressure (and hot water! Perhaps there was an issue with the tank when RockwallTraveler was here). The restaurant is nice, and not overtly expensive. Beer is about $2, which is more than other places in San Salvador, but it is a nice change from Canada, and is just a little more expensive than what I pay in Nicaragua. Most importantly, the people are amazing! I cannot say enough how helpful and kind they have been. One of the gentlemen spent over 25 minutes phoning our bus company when we noticed a discrepancy on the tickets, and went out of his way to ensure that we would arrive at the right time and place.

Nice enviroment, good location, nice clean rooms and bathrooms, exquisite breakfast, easy driving to center of the city by taxi

I was had a very nice experience, the staff goes out of the way to help you. You feel like you are in a home not a hotel, the breakfast was very good, they had a buffet or they served a la cart.

I stayed at Alicante for a week last year and am staying here for another week now. It's in a quiet neighborhood very near the UCA (Universidad Centro America). The rooms and bathrooms are clean, the beds very firm and most important, very nice and helpful people. I arrived at 10:30 p.m. and it was nice to see Javier from last year and even nicer that he remembered me from last year. You do need to speak a little Spanish and make an effort to be nice. No, it's not the Ritz Carlton, but then again, it's under $50. I like the fact that Alicante is not a sterile environment (e.g. big hotel) and that the smiles seem sincere. I've had hot water for showers on all the days I've stayed here. And yes, you're in Central America, it's 85 degrees and 90% humidity, there are bugs. I am in room 5 which has a queen bed and overlooks the patio area, not the street. The free wifi works great in this room. It has 3 sets of 3-prong outlets (good, since I forgot my 2-prong adapter). It has windows you can open and you can close the windows and turn on the air conditioning when it gets too hot. Right now, I'm working in my room, they're running the pool cleaner and it sounds like bubbling water, nice! Cooked to order breakfast is quite tasty and is included in the room rate.

After several flight delays we arrived late at night, but check-in was not a problem. Our accommodations was not what I expected and was disappointed. I brought it to the attention of the front desk. They apologized and was eager to please. We were relocated to another room which met my expectations and needs. The room was clean and neat, air condition, tv and two double beds. The breakfast was very good, cooked to order. There was onsite security 24 hrs. and the area surrounding the hotel was very safe. In closing, the staff was very friendly and made our stay as comfortable as possible. Would recommend and would return there again.

The condition of the rooms were decent for the price. The staff, however, were outstanding! The Hotel Alicante was a sanctuary to return to at the end of the day. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and were patient with our lack of Spanish. Great free breakfast. Very reasonable prices for beer wine and food. $1.85 for a beer. Would absolutely stay again if we return to El Salvador.

Hotel was very comfortable,clean, and I liked it.
