One of my least favorite country. I doubt if I will ever go back to El Salvador. I think I’ve seen everything that there is to see here. I was here in 2010 for a week.

Hostels:

San Salvador:

• Hostal Cumbre del Volcan: In a safe area  and walking distance to a plaza that houses several restaurants. The hostel is clean, free wi-fi.
• Ximena Guesthouse:  Nothing is cheap at this hostel, you pay for wi-fi, the food is good but not cheap, in a safe neighborhood, the dorm bed with hot shower is nicer than the dorm with cold water but its $2 more. The owner is very nice & helpful.

• Hostal Perquin Real: (2680-4158). Nice place, clean and friendly owner. The food is cheap and tasty, hammocks available.
