Hotel Gardenia Inn — Hotel in San Salvador

We were very skeptical about this hotel since the price was very affordable compared to the usual known hotel chains in San Salvador which had prices per night in the range of $120 - $200 per night at the moment. We just needed a one night in San Salvador so we thought to test our luck for around $45 per night hotel. |The hotel seems a bit hidden and the area is not the greatest in San Salvador but once you drive in it looks nice and decent. The receptionist was polite and answered all of our questions. |Our reservation had not gone through since it was a last minute booking through price line so we needed to send an e-mail to the receptionist with the price per night info from priceline. ||Free Wi-Fi is available but the connectivity is not so good.||The room was clean and the bed was confortable. ||Continental Breakfast/Salvadoran Breakfast was included per guess. ||Private parking is available and a security guard is around to open and close the gate entrance. ||Local calls are not possible from your room. You would have to come to the front desk for that. ||Swimming pool and garden area is very well kept and clean.||At check-out the front desk was polite and helpful.||Cleaning staff and the cook who we met in the hallway were very nice and polite.|||Over all: for a last minute one night in San Salvador with an affordable price... I WILL RECOMMEND THIS...

My wife and I stayed here from a friday to a sunday the last week of july 2013. We arrived and met Luis at the front desk, he was smiling and after we requested a room with one bed he quickly made the switch. The room was spacious including the bathroom.||||In the morning we had the breakfast buffette (included in the price) and found that was a full traditional Salvadorean breakfast, still they had several items to choose from including fresh fruit||||We did not have an issue with the building nor the company, but we were treated not to well by the night time front desk person (alex cubias) who was very rude when he insisted that our friends did not make a reservation when I was the one who made it since they do not speak spanish. Please do not use this as an excuse not to stay at the location.||||We stayed for 2 nights and both mornings were very quiet and the attention from the hotel staff did not change any. We liked it alot. The grounds around the hotel are very well kept and the only thing missing is a swimming pool but not a deal breaker.||||Take care of...

I recently stayed at this hotel and requested two estándar doble rooms. The bed extremely comfortable and the pillows were very flufy.

One of the microwaves was not working and there is no hair dryers in the rooms, but they provided me me one once I asked.

It includes breakfast which does not have a lot of choices, but the food it offers was fresh and delicious. The waiters/waitresses bring the food in small platters and keep on bringing more freshly cooked food to replenish it when an item is finished.

My mom needed surgery and this small, tranquil hotel was just perfect because it is close to labs and medical centers. Its entrance is located on a one way street and it can be difficult to find it. Highly recommended that you use a taxi and / or get clear instructions to get there.

Their staff is very courteous...
