Casa Degraciela - Hotel Boutique — Hotel in Departamento de Ahuachapán

I really loved this hotel, so I’m giving it five stars even though right now it has a problem, which is noisy construction next door that goes on all day long. I’m hoping this construction doesn’t last too long because I want to come back and stay here again. It’s a beautiful colonial style Hotel and has cozy, nooks to enjoy on the covered patio and in the small garden. Even though you’re in the heart of the city, you feel like you’re in a little oasis there. Our room was quite small, but adequate. The furnishings were quaint, but the beds were comfortable. One covered but open air room was dedicated to a billiard table, but also had cozy reading chairs with good light which I really appreciated. It was a cozy nook to enjoy when it was raining outside. We did not eat in the dining room, but it looked attractive. Every day, the staff would set a breakfast table for us outdoors, and the included breakfast gave you a choice of three simple meals. If I recall correctly, we were checked in by a young man, who spoke English however, we never encountered another employee who spoke a word of English, and I would say this would be something that they should rectify. If foreign tourism is going to continue to grow, then, their staff needs to take English classes. I was able to communicate with them in Spanish and everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and accommodating. We had a drink in the. tiny bar on one rainy night, and it’s a cute place. The prices were good. I was disappointed that my piña colada did not have fresh coconut in it, but it did have fresh pineapple. The location is great right in the heart of town. Steps from restaurants and shopping. I hope I have a chance to come back. We paid $110 per night in the rainy season, which is considered the low season, which makes this one of the priciest hotels in town but for us it was worth it. Our room had air-conditioning, but on the cool mountain nights, we didn’t need it. Our overhead fan...

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights during a recent trip to Central America. The hotel is in a good location, less than a block from the main square.||We stayed in the Dona Maria suite. It was large and very nicely appointed. The room had a television but we couldn’t access cable television. Street noise was a huge problem - noise at all hours (trucks, roosters, huge number of barking dogs).||Breakfast was included in our room rate. You can choose a hot breakfast, continental or light breakfast. The hot option was good. The others were disappointing. You have to pre-order breakfast the day before. You have to chase someone down to pre-order. It would be a lot simpler if they left the menu in your room and you could drop it off at the reception desk.||Service was generally good but no one speaks English so communication was sometimes difficult. I don’t expect everyone to speak English but high- end hotels usually have one person who does.||We paid about $130 per night which was a great value considering the quality of the room and the location...

A magical, secluded hideaway in the heart of Ataco. ||||I picked this place based on reviews and it did not disappoint. The place truly is special. Full of history and artifacts. The rooms are super cozy, comfortable, well appointed. The breakfast is delicious. The grounds are beautiful and relaxing. ||Staff are well intentioned and very nice, they try to provide the top notch proactive service, but occasionally do quite get there. Nonetheless, I was thoroughly impressed and not a request too grand or much, and if they were not proactive, just find them/ call them and you'll receive immediate service. ||||I was sad the rooftop patio was under renovation while I was there. However, enjoyed spending my evenings in various parts of the small courtyard and gardens enjoying my drinks and the beautiful starry Ataco sky. ||||It is hard to describe the beauty, serenity, and magic of the place, one just has to visit to experience it...
