We stayed within the centro Historico area, at this beautiful vintage building. However, the experience could have been a lot better, if they had not put a fan that was so old and too noisy, therefore, I could not get enough sleep. This cute building could get some well deserved TLC, as it's got so much charm and character. The staff was very helpful and amicable, which is truly a Salvadorian trade mark. What a lovely country!!

Bella Luz is a good, solid budget hotel. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful though communication wasa bit difficult due to language barriers. Wi-Fi was excellent. Should have opted for air conditioning.

If you're looking for a place to just sleep, this place is great. It is not far from the historic center and shopping centers. You can walk to them 15-20 minutes or get a taxi/bus. The room was clean and had a fan. The staff is also friendly and helpful. They offer free coffee during certain hours. I was gone most of the day and only came back to sleep. If you are looking for a hotel where you can hang out and what not, then this is not it.

The property was in pretty good condition, the staff were polite and helpful, and the room was very clean (especially the bathroom). The bed was comfortable, the shower had ample room, and the water was neither too hot nor too cold.

The only downsides are that it gets pretty loud in the morning when the city wakes up and the busses start rolling (like 6AM) and that you have to walk a good amount to get to places of interest.

Overall a good place to stay!

Located in an area that 2 years prior was considered dangerous, this property is good for someone on a budget, wants to see the historic center, (which only a 10 minute walk from the hotel)and doesn't mind going without hot water 😳.

Arrived 12/4 around 9pm and check in was a breeze, I had the first room on the left as you enter and stayed till Friday 12/6. Since the room is right next to a busy street there is allot of noise in the early morning. It is a busy area with restaurants shops and schools/universities so its is busy and loud which I do not mind but I did have trouble sleeping. The person at the front desk was kind enough to move me to the back and after that I was able to sleep. There is a review that claims that they go through your luggage so I left my luggage a certain way my first night out and when I came back around 2am I noticed that my luggage was moved. I bought a bottle of water and toothpaste and toothbrush from the front desk and it was fairly priced at around 3 dollars total. I like the area as it is busy and full of life and you can walk to restaurants and the library in the centor historico. It is not fancy by any means but it is a good place to get some rest, just watch your stuff and stay vigilant. Weather was perfect so there was no need for ac, I just used the fan and the tv had espn and plenty of channels. I did not spend much time in my room as I only used it for sleeping and showering. They do close the main entrance door around 11pm but this is normal for most hotels in ELSLV, all I had to do was ring the door bell the the front desk person would always open. My overall experience was great as it was just me by myself (male) and never felt uncomfortable.
