Wonderful location in Ataco. Staff here are very friendly and make a great effort to provide top service but its for sure warm and genuine. The coffee here is delicous. Love the rooftop porch, great views of Ataco, perfect for breakfast in the mornings, coffee in the afternoon, and a beer or cocktail in the evenings. Owner Julio can also help arrange tours to see local culture/ food/ coffee plantations and shops. 

Rooms are comfortable but basic. Hot water is a bit of a challenge, would recommend trying for later afternoon showers for best hot water, definitely try and avoid mornings. 

Free and decent wifi available as well.

Great place to stay, friendly staff and delicious Coffee

Wauw! This place is amazing! It has everything: super friendly staff and the nicest owner ever who gives good tips for discovering the surroundings, very clean and comfortable rooms, hot shower, good internet, great location and delicious breakfast with great coffee! If you come to Ataco - which we surely recommend - this is the place to be! Thank you so much for everything!

Best place to stay!

A great place for couples or families. They can organize tours for you and make you the best coffee in the country.
Ataco is an amazing place to visit with a lot of colorful murals around the city and you should definitely stay at Los Portones if you pass through

Great location, comfortable rooms and amazing food.

This small hotel (B&B), close to the center of Concepcion de Ataco, came to me very highly recommended as well as did the knowledgable proprietor (Julio) who also acted as my tour guide and driver for my all too-brief (two night) stay here.  He took me around to some of the more hidden, smaller (shade-grown) coffee fincas in this, the premium highlands region in which the highest (literally and figuratively) quality Salvadoran coffee originates.

Coffee Time

Los Portones lived up to (and to some extent exceeded) all my expectations.  I arrived after an extremely long day travelling from Copan de Ruinas on local shuttles and chicken buses, I was fairly tired but was given such a warm and helpful welcome I knew I'd made the right decision to stay here.  The rooms are functional, they have very comfortable beds, bedside tables and ensuite bathrooms and are spotlessly clean.  The accommodation is at the rear of the hotel, there is an outdoor common sitting area between the bar/restaurant and the rooms, it was a good place to get strong wifi connection.  As I referenced I was extremely tired when I arrived, I sat in the cafe for 30 minutes before heading off to check out the town to revive myself with a coffee - and what a coffee it was, locally grown and roasted, smooth and punchy - and came with a super cute tropical fish pattern imprinted on the foam!  I ate breakfast at the restaurant, the local breakfast is delicious and, had an evening meal; try the bbq prawns - they were incredible.  The hotel can also help you out with laundry services for a very reasonable price which is very convenient.  Ataco is a great place to base yourself from for the Ruta de Flores, it easily accessible to the other towns by local bus, it has some good local restaurants, a good market (although maybe a little touristy and lots of merchandise from Guatemala so ask specifically for Salvadoran handicrafts if you want them), and the town is lovely to spend some time wandering around, there are also some good local farm and hiking trails.  Los Portones de Ataco is  a really well-rounded, good-value hotel.  Go check out the beautiful surrounds and enjoy the genuine hospitality and welcome of the wonderful Salvadorans.

Salvadoran hospitality, great location

Make sure you stop here in beautiful Ataco. The coffee is great - it's just got a nice vibe. Nice staff and good soundtrack in a great location. 

Julio can also take you on a great tour of Ruta de las Flores. It was a highlight of our trip!

Best cafe on the trip

Arrived by Tuk Tuk from the chicken bus stop after an interesting journey from Antigua Guatemala. While struggling up the step with my pack sack (and a very sore leg) the staff ran out to assist me, the best welcome I have received during this trip in central America.  What a nice place this is! Ataco is a small town on the Ruta de las Flores, clean, fairly safe, and full of friendly people who greet strangers on the street (just like at home in Canmore!). The hotel is located on what must be the main street, although there is little vehicle traffic , especially at night. A five minute walk to the main square and close to several restaurants (some of which are only open on the weekends). It consists of half a dozen or so guest rooms, quietly located at the rear of the courtyard planted with an abundance of flowering shrubs. It boasts, beside the lobby, a coffee shop, with excellent coffee and fresh drinks, beer and wine, and a small but very affordable menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food and service is pretty good! My room, although a bit spartan, was bright and clean, with a window to the flowering courtyard. It featured a very comfortable double bed, a small nightstand, a tiny rustic log table with two small stools, an en suite shower/toilet, a flat screen and not much more. A place to hang and store clothing would have been appreciated, as would a larger more comfortable desk, although there are plenty of spots to relax in the lobby and courtyard. Highly recommended!
