There is always a pleasure to stay at Barceló; beds are comfortable , room always clean and everyone willing to help. there is so many excellent dinning options within walking distance and in a city when traffic is crazy; once you get to this area it feels calm and seems that everything slows down to get you in a vacation mood! A stay at Barcelo is a must if you visit El Salvador!

I've stayed at Barcelo three times, and it never disappoints. The hotel staff are friendly and always willing to assist with anything I need. The restaurant offers a wide variety of food options to suit all tastes. Rooms are consistently clean, comfortable beds, and the VP room is definitely a plus. The location is excellent—close to restaurants and bars, and within walking distance to the mall. It’s also in a safe area, which adds peace of mind during your stay. Highly recommended!
