Terra Bella Hotel Boutique

Breakfast was great, and the rooms were really nice, modern, and very clean. Even the street was clean. I booked through a third party for the day after I actually needed, but Josè, the best guy ever, didn't ask questions and just made it work for me. I'll stay there again if I return to the country.

It's affordable, with a delicious breakfast menu and friendly service. The hotel and rooms were clean, and the location is handy, right on the main road in the Zona Rosa area.

For around $100 for the four of us, my wife somehow found us a fantastic hotel for our first night in San Salvador. I loved its layout, especially the open air hallways. The room was comfortable and clean, the staff friendly and patient with my not very good Spanish, and breakfast was delicious. Totally recommend it!

The open hallways and little patch of greenery in the courtyard gave the hotel a cheerful, modern feel. Staff were pleasant and capable, the room was clean, and there was a welcome carafe of water with two glass tumblers. The bathroom had a large sink and plenty of counter space, the air conditioning was superb, and the shower was good. Breakfast is included, and you can choose from a menu. There's also a fabulous filtered water machine with cold, very hot, and cold carbonated water. Guests need to manage stairs to reach reception and the rooms, so the hotel won't suit everyone. Rooms are spread over several floors, each with tradeoffs for privacy and views. Staying near reception puts you close to the dining room and the wonderful water dispenser, but guest traffic means less privacy, so you may keep the window shade down much of the time. A top floor room gives you a view and more privacy, but means lots of stairs. Since the stairs are open to the elements, it could be a rainy adventure. Even with those downsides, my experience deserves five stars.
