"We were looking for a hotel in San Salvador to attend a wedding. We looked for a long time for a suitable hotel and landed on Cardedeau Express in Zona Rosa. The hotel was extremely clean, and cute, and the free breakfast was delicious! Our room, 201, was comfortable and the bathroom is huge. The bed was sooo comfy we sleep like rocks. The staff was pleasant and attentive as well. Location is up a hill and down the hill there are tons of restaurants and bars. Would definitely stay here again."
