Best experience I ever had
By ,
The best thing I liked about the place was the attentdants (Oscar, America and Ramon). They made my days really special. I felt like home with new friends and open myself to them. Thanks a lot everyone.

Will Always Return To Ximenas
By ,
I work with a Canadian Non Profit Agency that often works in Salvador and will always use Ximenas Guest House when travelling there. The rooms are clean, the staff are helpful and professional. I am always greeted with a smile and receive very professional service. The owners and staff have provided us with so much help and information which has helped our program in El Salvador grow. Thank you!

Excellent base for discovering the country
By ,
I stayed at Ximena's Guest House in december 2006 and had a great time. The rooms were very clean and cozy ,the employees helpful and friendly. I had just planned to stay for a couple of nights but ended up using the hotel as a base for my entire time in the country. They had safety deposit storage and a bodega where I kept my stuff while travelling on a a couple of trips and most of the time I just did day trips to different villages. This is the only hotel in Central America I have stayed at where the owners talks to the guests and advice on travelling and buses and such in such a helpful manner. The Norwegian girl that runs the place is a wealth of information and contributed to make my impression of El Salvador a very gratifying one. Thumbs up!!

Horrible experience
By ,
I had the misfortune on a recent trip to San Salvador to book Ximenes Guest House. The neighborhood seems more dangerous than most (the cabby advised against staying there). There was a foul odor throughout the place, and the rooms were the worst I have seen. Dirty, smelly, bad location. There are numerous other places to stay at comperable rates in San Salvador. This guest house in no way should be rated among the top stays in the capital city. I was surprised to find that it had been rated so highly on this web site.

Wonderful hotel!
By ,
Wow, I just read a review about someone staying at the hotel. I was really disappointed in that man's opinion. I was there in November as well. I loved the service and the cleaness. The owner and daughter were on top of the business and made sure we felt at home. I have zero complaints! i rate it 10.
