The service was amazing. Very friendly and accommodating staff.
I had the unfortunate experience to stay at this "hotel". I feel bad writing this because the hotel staff were exceptional and did everything they could to make our stay comfortable but unfortunately, given the state of this place it wasn't possible. I found cockroaches in the bathroom and inside the bed sheets and needless to say I had to call Expedia and cancel my stay immediately. This place should not be recommended nor sponsored by Expedia!
We stayed at Posada del Rey Primero for two nights in San Salvador. The concierge was extremely helpful and helped arrange transport to Santa Ana Volcano as well as our long journey to the Copan Ruins in Honduras. The room was basic and fit our needs and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. There was also a little swimming pool that was nice to take a dip in. Definitely recommend it!
Is a Posada not a hotel, 2 beatiful houses in one.
Like being at home, beautiful posada
A very secure zone, right outside the corner, pupusas!.
Did I mention Don Jorge he is the watchman, thumps up to Dn Jorge
Me, my daughter my son, spent 5 nights. We visited almost everywhere. Myself a Salvadoreño

Good hotel, not great
For the price, the hotel works...clean, quiet, secured parking...very basic breakfast provided.
Staff was courteous and proactive. Within walking distance to malls and restaurants. Felt safe walking around. Hotel did a great job proving taxis to and from all my destinations.
We were planning to stay here just one night before finding a more affordable option but once we started looking there weren't really a lot better options. This hotel is located in a safe area, close to shopping and easy (and $5) access to Zona Rosa and museums. So we stayed because they were so nice and helpful we felt at home. I would definitely recommend this hotel for safety and convenience. Also the beds are very comfortable. It's not luxury but the decorations and common areas are very nice. Shower with hot water and AC in the room so it was all right.

Nice try
The building and public areas were attractive but the room lacked a bit. The shower stall leaked which never got fixed and there was no toilet paper holder. I had to ask for an additional lamp for my desk so I had enough light to work. A knob was missing on the closet door. The street was noisy with car alarms and sirens too often and some vendor was out in the street on a bicycle honking his horn constantly. I was glad to for the AC but it blowing on me as I tried to sleep so I had to rearrange the furniture to avoid that cool draft. I did appreciate that the staff tried hard to please me but for the rate they charged, I do not plan on staying here on my next visit to San Salvador.
The staff was nice and attentive but the bathrooms are very small and rooms are rather small. The closets had a moth smell and didn't put my clothes inside the closet but rather kept them in my suitcase. The chair was falling apart...thank God I noticed and since I stayed only 3 nights did not request to have it changed. Over all it was an ok stay but was hoping to have a better stay since the ratings I got on line said the hotel was really nice. Be aware that there is a charge for the transportation from and to the airport. They say is complimentary but it is not! There is a fee for it.... Hope this helps for your next stay in San Salvador.
Super friendly hotel staff and easy to work with. Own private garage for parking and staff willing to go the extra mile. They called numerous car rental places us and always greeted us with warm smiles. I'm not sure if anyone there spoke English since we always spoke to the staff in Spanish.
It is about 45 minutes from the International airport, but right in San Salvador. Just off the busy street of Colonial Escalon, but also quiet and private.
This beautiful, friendly urban inn got my trip to El Salvador off to a wonderful start. I did not want to leave. I loved the therapeutic tropical colors, the plants and well-chosen art. This is not the place for people who prefer bland, generic chain hotels. The staff made quick taxi arrangements. This inn is also on the same short block as the best seafood restaurant in San Salvador. The swimming pool is also beautiful.
Exelente atencion, delicioso desayuno y un lugar muy relajante para descansar, nada de bulla y trafico, las habitaciones nesecitan modernizarce pero me imagino q mejorara con el tiempo
El hotel es bastante básico pero funcional. El personal muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar con cualquier duda o pregunta. Tiene una alberca pequeño y los espacios comunes son muy agradables. El internet era demasiado lento para ser útil pero lo demás funcionaba bien. La ubicación es buena y hay un restaurant excelente (Beto's) a una cuadra.
El Hotel es una casa grande acondicionada para ser hotel, la habitación de buen tamaño pero el baño pequeño, la que si daba pena era la cama, totalmente desajustada, la cabecera estaba suelta y golpeaba con la pared cuando me apoyaba en ella para ver televisión.
Desayuno sencillo pero bueno, la zona del comedor es pequeña pero limpia y acogedora. El personal del hotel agradable pero algo despistado. Lo mejor de todo la ubicación, con buenos lugares para comer muy cerca de ahi.
