Staff was friendly. 
No hot water and shower was extremely dark. 

No towels provided. You must rent $1 
But need to leave $5 as deposit. 

Room and bedsheets were super stinky. Im not sure if they change these nasty bedsheets everyday 🤮🤮🤮

Good location with lots of restaurants around. 
Its fine for one night but I don’t understand why they assume backpackers are dirty ppl.

Cold shower and stinky room

You should be able to get way better stay than this place, for the price charged. The staff may be friendly, but fixing the coldest shower in Central America during three days was way to complex. Or repairing the noisy fan in the room. Or informing that they decided to made the tour 2 hours shorter than planned. I am not impressed.

Poor value, and sleepy staff.

We were unable to find the close by transportation hub that other reviewers mentioned.  Probably because Covid has left its mark.  
This was a nice, clean hostel, well run.  Breakfast was included and was "typico" but they were happy to make substitutions fo vegetarians.  We had the double room on the second floor with a private bath.  It was quiet.  No complaints.

Nice hostel in good location

There is a good vibe about the place. Nice common room to sit, even with a guitar to play, cats and dogs mingling with everyone, and the kitchen ladies make nice pupusas in the morning. The pod style beds are comfortable, equipped with light and power outlets, so you do not even feel you are in a dorm. Anyway, La Zona will always be my first choice for accomodation in San Salvador.

You have these hostels that feel like home

Someone needs to update these photos. Local is far more warm and quaint! Loved me stay, the staff, breakfast and all of the people I met. I would come back in a heartbeat. Safe and easy. San Salvador was also a loving surprise. This is also located in a great area. Check out Cadejo brewery nearby, legit amazing local craft beer! The clubs and museum.

Wasn’t expecting to enjoy so much

We booked the Zona for 1 night transit with the Ticabus. It’s conveniently located (right opposite the Ticabus office in San Benito) and the dorms are modern, clean and spacious. They even have pet dogs, super cute! You can pay with card, they have different seating areas, a bar and a kitchen there as well. 

Good overnight option for Ticabus

We only stayed one night. My friend left early in the morning and they helped her book a taxi to the airport. 

They helped me book a shuttle service to Leon (as the Tica bus was full). They told me the transfer time would be 8 hours. It took 16 hours as apparently we drove to El Tunco, where I had to wait for over an hour to catch up with the bus that was arriving from Antigua, Guatemala.

The showers didn't have any warm water or even luke warm.

The staff felt a bit like they didn't want to be there.

But it was clean and had comfy beds so it worked.

So so

This is a great place to stay if you're visiting San Salvador, especially if you're a solo traveller (it's a very sociable and friendly place without being a party hostel) or at all worried about the safety in the city (it's in the heart of the Zona Rosa, which is a very safe, clean, modern area).

They also have a lovely, friendly dog called Scratchy.
