Pros:

Great value for money. San Salvador is quite spread out. The hostel is midway between downtown historic district and the museums. So pretty good.

Cons:

There was not hot water.

Muito agradável nossa estadia. Recomendo
Pros:

Do café da manhã que podia ser continental e típico. Da localização próxima a um centro comercial com farmácia, restaurantes, supermercado e outros. Bem como, da equipe de funcionários, bem solicitos e prontos para ajudar da melhor forma possível. A possibilidade de fazer um checkout tardio.

Cons:

Da falta, em algumas vezes, de água quente no chuveiro, bem como da vazão de água na parte da noite.
