Hotel Villa Florencia Zona Rosa — Hotel in San Salvador

I spent 5 nights here and was glad to be at the Hotel Villa Florencia for a variety of reasons. The staff were very helpful with all questions. The included breakfast was very good. A number of good restaurants, such as Hola Betos and Puerto Mariscos, were in easy walking distance and there is a reliable BAC bank within a few blocks. The only thing which is a bit tedious in this area is the lack of traffic lights, which makes street crossing a bit of a hairy experience to get to some restaurants. ||||Even though this hotel is in the heart of the Zona Rosa, in order to do many things, you will need an Uber. The closest gym (Zona Fitness) is in the Plaza Suiza, which could be a 20-minute Uber ride in traffic. So, if going to a gym is important to you, I might pick another hotel.

It was the only option I had and I thought it was a good deal, but I was wrong.

He tried to create many situations like a criminal and called a civilian 'police' officer in the airport to coerce me to pay even more than the hotel deal. The police officer was apparently his partner and tried to convince me to pay more to the criminal driver.

The another day I went to the airport again and there was one of these 'police officers', typical of latin american countries, blocking the entrance of the airport asking to see the boarding tickets in order to allow people to enter the airport. Anyway, avoid these situations avoiding these...

My family stayed here for the last 3 nights of our trip. We randomly just walked in, 8pm at night, with our taxi driver as we scouted for hotels.Reception was warm, friendly and spoke great English. One look at our room and after backpacking for 7 days we were happy to spend the rest of our trip here. Best room we stayed in El sal- very clean,modern, comfortable, great selection of tv channels (esp for our 5 yr old), amazing AC, complimentary water bottles. Breakfast was tasty, one plate of food per person. Although we felt safe in the day, we wouldn't walk around at night. Not much around to do but we took local buses/vans to get around. There is an artisan market nearby. ||Reception was excellent - very helpfu with all our needs. Impressed at English! Maids were friendly and did awesome job cleaning our rooms. Aiport transfer was $25, amazing considering we had to leave at 530am. Highly suggest this hotel for all the...
