Guest Reviews

• Lorena Catalina (10/5): Amazing place for work or leisure! - Service, room size, cleanliness, silence, decor breakfast time
• Cynthia (8/5): It was lovely stay and the staff was so friendly and helpful. - The restaurant was great, we thought it was better than most of the food around the area. We chose it because of the location and walkable to alot of the restaurant and things to do in the area. There was a loud bar across the street—the noise was noticeable, however, we were too tired to even be bothered by it. Just a warning for those who are super sensitive to loud music.
• Thomas (10/5): Wonderful -
• ALBERTO (10/5): Excelente - Excelente hotel y excelente restaurante Todo me gustó
• Stacy (10/5): Love this place - Super nice staff!!! Next to a club
• Cecilia (9/5): - Found the place I will always stay when in San Salvador. Nicely decorated, clean and spacious. Loved having a while outdoor space attached the the room. Location is good
• Otto (10/5): - La ubucacion es genial, el oersonal muy amable y el menú de alimentos variado y delicioso. Que no habia deskfront al llegar. Revosar coneccion de tv.
• Ricardo (8/5): Vale cada dólar pagado y un excelente restaurante - Muy buen lugar acogedor, y bello Las discos cercanas y el ruido molesta si quieres descansar temprano
• Manton (9/5): Visita a San Salvador (Oct-2025) - Desde que llegué, todo el personal fue súper amable: en recepción, en el restaurante y hasta quienes se encargan de la limpieza. La habitación me encantó: muy amplia, con una cama enorme y comodísima, y el baño siempre impecable. El servicio de limpieza estuvo siempre pendiente de que todo estuviera ordenado y limpio. El hotel está en una zona residencial tranquila, y a solo unos pasos del centro comercial Presidente Plaza. Justo frente al hotel hay un bar que, por las noches, se pone bastante ruidoso y rompe un poco la tranquilidad del lugar. Pero como las habitaciones están al fondo del hotel, no se escucha nada desde ahí, así que pude descansar sin problema.
• Francisco (10/5): - Great Service, room was super clean and modern, bed was very, very comfortable.
• VERONICA (10/5): -
• Daniel (8/5): -
• carlos (10/5): - Best stay in zona rosa
• Alex (8/5): - Great location No services on Sunday
• tzitzi72 (9/5): still my favorite place in El Salvador - the choice of breakfast is excellent, as it is for lunch and dinner. very nice ambiance at the location with enough space between the tables to have a private conversation as well. all good
• Manuel Morales (10/5): - Buen lugar para hospedarse, las habitaciones son muy amplias y la ubicación es buena, cerca de restaurantes y opciones de compras
• Cheryllynn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Franklin (10/5): Great Stay - We had a great time. The room was well appointed and clean. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was massive. The breakfast was delicious. Would stay here again.
• Cindy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ralf (1/5): Bad - very noisy
• Resul (10/5): - Clean
• Roberto (8/5): - The location
• Irene (6/5): It was OK but not as imagined. - The food at the restaurant. The location. The service at the hotel. Rooms did not have enough towels, no food when they have an event. No cash for customers.
• Danielle (8/5): Very good -
• Ignacio (4/5): Beautiful hotel but the rooms are not insulated against noise and the neighbours night club. - The location was excellent, the food was great. The rooms are not sound proof. You could hear your neighbours complete conversation or hear their TV. Also, the most dissapointing fact (and main reason I won't return) is the fact the house next door is a nightclub terrace, which won't make you able to sleep at all. Too much noise, such a shame for a beatiful hotel.
• Nico (10/5): Great place to stay - The things i enjoyed most were the spacious room, which is much bigger than the competition. Also the personel was really helpfull in our needs. The breakfast from the hotel is great with variety and cooked at the moment. I would recommend to friends and family There is always room for improvement. The staff was only available early in the morning on sunday and seemed to be prepared for only one guest (1robe, one chair, etc)
• Louis (10/5): - The place was amazing! The decoration of the room and the common areas where super beautiful. It felt like an hotel boutique. The staff was amazing and the breakfast space and food exquisite. We would come again no doubt!
• Camila (9/5): Superb -
• Carlo (8/5): Very good -
• Aileen (9/5): Superb -
• Maurice (10/5): Perfect stay in nice area - The most comfortable bed and sheets I’ve slept in for a long time! Enormous room and bathroom with a huge shower, makes it feel very luxurious. Great breakfast options with lovely garden view. Free parking and friendly staff. Nothing, but as improvement: we had only one pair of slippers and bathrobe, while we were with two. Even in the room we were switched to due to the AC leakage.
• Diego (8/5): Lindo Hotel - Es un lindo hotel, al parecer es una casa antigua que han acondicionado para el hospedaje y restaurante italiano. Me gusto, repetiria, habitaciones grandes, tienen un pequeño jardin al salir de la habitacion.
• Silvia (10/5): Very nice stay ! - The location was great ! The place very clean. Nobody to help you on Sunday
• Konstantinos (9/5): The place to stay - Excellent location with great food at the restaurant All good
• Konstantinos (9/5): The place to stay - The employees are very kind / outstanding service. Nothing to complain about
• Carmen (9/5): Superb -
• Pablo (10/5): - Amazing!!
• Christopher (10/5): Excellent stay in a wonderful boutique hotel! - The rooms are large and very well decorated. The food at the hotel is exceptional! Breakfast at the restaurant facing the very peaceful and serene courtyard area was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. There is a nightclub that is seemingly close to the hotel that has very good music. Unfortunately, the music is played well into the night, which could create interrupted sleep. I used a sleep application with white noise, so it was not a bother to me.
• Françoise (10/5): Best choice in San Salvador - Best choice in San Salvador on every aspects : Very beautiful boutique hotel with lovely decoration, wonderful playlist, big room and shower, very clean. Lovely personnel, helpful and smiley. One of the best restaurants (Italian kitchen) too.
• SONIA (10/5): - It was a nice place to stay.
• Oscar (8/5): - Bastante bien, solo tienen que mejorar un poco el mantenimiento
• Tzitzi72 (9/5): always nice to be back.... - I have been going to this hotel since their opening, it continues to be the best hotel in San Salvador. It has only 6 rooms, nice backyard terrace, excellent restaurant. depends where you are located, the wifi can be coming and going.
• Mariela (10/5): - Great
• Emilio (8/5): Would consider it again at a lower rate - Great location, super friendly staff and everything was very clean. Very nice house and the restaurant was good. Rooms are very austere and simple, expected a bit more for the rate I paid. TV installation wasn’t done properly and angled way too low.
• Henry (10/5): - Incredible rooms. The biggest shower I've ever seen in a hotel.
• Nellie (8/5): - The room really nice!
• Steven (10/5): Exceptional - This is the most amazing boutique hotel experience. Beautiful grounds, great bar, wonderful restaurant. The bar staff were amazing. If you want a fantastic cocktail made with amazing attention to detail then this is yor spot. Leaving!
• Val (10/5): Exceptional - Great selection at breakfast, nice lounge for evening cocktails. Fabulous restaurant. Rooms large and comfortable. Would stay again!
• Oscar (10/5): - Me encanta el Hotel y el servicio
• Val (10/5): Fantastic in every way! - Staff is amazing - front desk, bar, restaurant - all top notch service. The breakfast was amazing, just delicious. We had dinner at the restaurant one night and everyone raved. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends!
• Jeffrey (9/5): Best place to stay in San Salvador - Very helpful staff, top notch facilities, and an excellent restaurant and bar.
• Rebecca (9/5): Superb - Rooms are spacious and beautiful, staff are excellent, and the restaurant is outstanding Neighbouring night club can be noisier certain evenings

• Tzitzi72 (9/5): Superb -
• Jose (10/5): I will came back in the future!!! - The Staff Everything
• Joel (10/5): - First time visiting El Salvador? This is a GREAT place to stay. It's modern and clean with a very friendly staff. The restaurant is great. There are a lot of other dining and drinking options within walking distance. The hotel works with a taxi service that will take on day trips anywhere you want to go in the country. Take advantage of that. You don't have to rent a car or worry about driving.
• Stephanie (9/5): Superb -
• Ramon (10/5): - This is a nice property, very quiet and fancy! Me and my family lived it!
• Marta (8/5): - At first we had some issues with checkin in as the hotel closes at 10pm, so we were stressed to make it by that time. Once we get there, everything ran smoothly. The rooms are georgous, however the bed was too soft making sleep a little umconfortable. Other than that, the place is nice. Very good restaurant. We loved the privacy and comfort. We'll go back for sure!
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tzitzi72 (9/5): best boutique hotel in San Salvador - I have been going to this hotel since it opened more than 10 years ago, and it is still, for me, the best place / hotel in San Salvador due to its location, privacy, restaurant and friendliness of the staff. n/a
• hugo luna (10/5): - Excelente ubicación, excelente servicio, la habitación es grande y con todas sus amenidades, la cama es de buena calidad y sus sábanas también. Creería que lo mejor fue el desayuno 10/10
• Oscar (10/5): Lovely getaway weekend. - Big clean room. Comfortable bed, excellent service. Great food at the restaurant. Incredible spacious shower to share with your love one.
• Maria (9/5): Superb - Great Location and fantastic restaurant The fact that there is no-one at the hotel From Sunday after Breakfast until Monday Morning
• Xochitl (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay
• Roxanne (10/5): - Friendly staff. Clean spacious room. Big bathroom in room with two beds. Rooms have a small patio area to enjoy. Great location. Close to many dining options and shopping.
• April (8/5): Very good -
• Oscar (8/5): - Todo bien, el desayuno deja Que desear
• Lily (10/5): We would love to stay here again. - Location, very clean, attentive personal & great shower pressure. Also love the huge mirror! There’s nothing not to like.
• Alejandro (10/5): - Excelente place to stay
• Arquimedes (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brianna (10/5): Photos do no Justice. - I wanted to take a vacation for the 4th of July holiday and I wanted to be somewhere centrally located. The photos of the property plus the location made booking easy. But staying has made me want to come back. The large spacious shower is a lovely addition to the individual garden. The rooms are quiet, and the lighting is nice. I could not get out of the robe and slippers. I rushed back to the room to stay out them on. It helped that the restaurant has some of the best lamb lasagna I have ever had. I didn’t have to leave to get food but if I did there was a variety just across the street. Oh and don’t get me started on the french toast, I am now a fan of Dulce de Leche as a syrup alternative. I am already making plans to come back and I will be staying here.
• Nina (7/5): A good option - The hotel itself is a very nice place. It is modern and very much upscale. Breakfast is served at the restaurant in a very nice atmosphere with garden view and nice quiet music. Furthermore, the included breakfast options are exceptional. Nevertheless, during the night (we were there Thursday to Saturday) the hotel is not necessarily quiet as it is located in a fancy neighbourhood of San Salvador where there are a lot of night clubs. In fact, both nights, there was a lot of loud music until very late. In the bathroom there was a tipical sign that stated that towels etc. would only be changed when on the floor. Nevertheless, the changed the towels every day. Furthermore, certain staff at the reception gave us a rather snobbish treatment.
• Todd (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wade (10/5): Exceptional -
• Santiago (10/5): Amazing hotel, great rooms, fantastic bathrooms, superb food & beverages and super cool restaurant - Lovely place! Great staff. Everything was great
• Mary (9/5): Superb - The staff was great, the food was very good, the room very clean and comfortable. It was nice to sit outside the room in the evening. Will definitely return. The only bad was the bed was very low to the ground, comfortable but low.
• Lorreyne (9/5): Superb -
• Gabriela (9/5): Superb -
• Joaquín (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (10/5): Great stay at Nico Urban! - Amazing boutique hotel in a secure area of the city.
• Erick (10/5): Cozy Urban Stay - Comfortable, cozy, quiet. Amazing staff, specially the team at Il Bongustaio (the restaurant). Incredible food and beautiful design. Our room only had one item of everything: one bathrobe, one pair of slippers, one cup to drink coffee/tea. staff were quick to respond to requests and incredibly kind so no a huge problem. Just odd.
