Los Almendros de San Lorenzo

This was my favorite hotel throughout my stay in El Salvador. I love boutique hotels and this was perfect. It has a reasonably priced restaurant and bar. The food and drinks were great. It has an amazing view of the lake. It was a great hotel for rest and relaxation. The hotel staff arranged a massage for us and they also called a local rum distillery to get us on a tour. This hotel is located in Sochitoto. We stayed in this hotel during New Year's. It was decorated for Christmas. We spent new years eve walking around Sochitoto shooting fireworks with the locals. There was a concert in the town square the night before. It was a great hotel and town to enjoy and take things easy.

Beautifully restored and maintained historic colonial building converted to a hotel. It's apparently over 200 years old and nicely decorated with antiques. Restaurant was quite good and prices reasonable. Wifi was a bit sketchy and could have used additional outlets for charging electronics, but somewhat expected for an older building. Definitely a memorable experience.

A wonderful historic property in an idyllic colonial town. After a recent visit to El Salvador, in which I stayed at seven different properties, this one is hands down my favorite. Located in a charming town with cobble stone roads and a slow pace of life this location is an absolute jewel. I was greeted with a smiling face and treated with exceptional hospitality on all fronts. There simply cannot be enough said about this beautiful location and its staff.

We came to relax and escape the heat of the day. Beautiful garden, nice espresso drinks, good menu. The building is beautiful, we had a lovely time here.

Suchitoto is two hours away from the airport by car, and the roads are anything but pleasant. But when you're finally here, you will forget all about the drive. The town is pretty and Los Almendros de San Lorenzo is even prettier. The small hotel is located in a 19th century building, only a block from the main square of the city. The location couldn't be better.||I was quickly checked in by a friendly member of staff. He did not speak much English, but others here do, so there should always be someone present to assist you in English if needed. The owner is also often present himself and is very friendly. The hotel feels almost like a museum with lots of artefacts on display and a beautiful lounge where you can sit and relax.||My room faced the inner courtyard and came with a very small window only. The room was large and was furnished like I would imagine hotel rooms a hundred years ago. While it added to the atmosphere, I would still have appreciated a desk or a coffee table, for which there would have been ample room. A fridge and safe would also have been nice. The bed was okay and A/C was efficient. A jug of drinking water was provided. Wifi worked well both in the room as well as in the restaurant. It was free, fast, unlimited and easy to use.||The bathroom came with a walk-in shower with an overhead shower. There was hot water, but water pressure was not good enough. Shampoo was available in single-use bottles and hand soap in small bars. I appreciate this as I don't find the wall-mounted containers that many hotels choose to put up on their bathroom walls hygienic.||Breakfast was included in my room rate. It is not a buffet, instead you fill in a breakfast card the previous evening and then let them know in the morning when you would like your breakfast. However, despite the preorder, they were not well-prepared and the first morning I had to wait 25 minutes to get my meal. The second morning, it was fortunately quicker. Breakfast included a fruit salad, juice, a hot beverage and a dish from the menu, think eggs or French toast or granola. While it was nothing special, it gave a good start to the day.||I had dinner at the restaurant twice. The staff were friendly, the food was okay but nothing special really. The prices were reasonable.||There was also a small pool in the backyard. The water was a bit on the cold side as temperatures fall considerably at night.||On departure, I asked the hotel to organize a transfer to San Salvador, which was very well taken care of. My driver David was great and took me to the capital in 1.5 hours at a cost of 55 dollars.

Lovely Spanish style property converted into a boutique hotel. Lots of eclectic items throughout the property which adds character| |Just a couple of blocks to the main square. It’s a small pretty town so everything is in walking distance. |All the rooms are different shapes & sizes. The front section of the hotel is the original Spanish house. The back part around the pool is a newer section. ||The dining room looks over the pool. The breakfast is a set selection & a little disappointing in its choice & quantity. The lunch & dinner choices are tasty ||My room was large with a huge bed. The bathroom was large with a walk in shower. Shame there was no hot water. There is TV which included some English language stations & strong wifi.

We spent 4 nights in this loverly boutique hotel. All was perfect. We had a great stay. Owners and staff was very professional and happy to assist anywhere they could. And Lorenzo, lovely dog ,,,, Thank you very much for having us. Btw kitchen staff was very kind as well.

This is an outstanding small boutique hotel in Suchitoto, a small historic town on a beautiful lake about an hour from the capital. The hotel is only about 15 years old but the house that it is in is 220 years old. And incredibly decorated. The service was great. The front office manager Lis was super helpful. If you are coming to this country on business extend your stay by a couple of days and stay here.
