Morrison Hotel San Salvador — Hotel in San Salvador

I found myself unexpectedly staying in San Salvador, and ended up by chance at the Morrison Hotel. The hotel is a long way from the centre centre, but compensates for that by being located in what I understood to be a safe neighbourhood. I didn't know much about El Salvador when I arrived, but the country does have a bad reputation when it comes to safety. The hotel itself was comfortable - my room was perfectly fine, and there is a cosy seating area with sofas. The hotel has a large dining area at the back, where breakfast is served - the breakfast was excellent, with pupusas (El Salvador's maize- or rice-based stuffed pancakes), French toast and fresh fruit. The staff were all wonderful - Doña Doris and her colleagues did everything they could to make me comfortable. They answered all my questions, gave me advice on how to get around, printed out maps and made sure I had their number when I went out in case of any problem. On the less positive side, the dining area also seems to be used as a catering area for training courses held in the same building complex. That could make it quite noisy if your room overlooks the dining area (which mine did, although of course people learning new skills matters more in the bigger scheme of things). Another issue was that you cannot dine in the hotel, only breakfast is served. This was not a big issue for me, though, as Doña Doris directed me to some...

A very welcoming host set the tone upon arrival and the whole experience was faultless. Lovely room and well located in a decent neighbourhood. Fast Wi-Fi and a delicious breakfast supplied too. On the last night plans to go out for a meal were changed due to being too tired after a long day trekking around the city. This was a good move as a sudden storm of thunder, rain and lightning caused havoc for around an hour. This resulted in the room having some considerable water intrusion. The power went off as well for a couple of five minute intervals. The way the hotel dealt with the storm and the inconvenience to the room was excellent and they really went out of their way to rectify the situation. Without needing to, staff apologised several times for the incident However the weather Is definitely beyond their control. It was some of the severest weather I have seen in a short period. Well done to everyone at this warm...

The set up of this hotel is really quaint and gives you a local flavor with a certain elegance. The lobby was small but very tastefully decorated. The pool and the courtyard were comfortable with mosquito nets covering it. The rooms were comfortable, the air worked well, the sheets were clean and the pillows were comfortable. Hot water was delightful in the bathroom. The breakfast crew is fabulous and provide a great local flavored breakfast. Perfect location to get to the nearby Galeria mall, Walmart opening up few blocks away, and the grocery store. A Wendy's two blocks away.

The AC blew right on to my face in the room, it had no opening to the outside world, it was an inner room. The bathroom was reasonably nice, the lights were so dim to be able to see one's self in the mirror....
