Real IC San Salvador - Metrocentro Mall

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?

Booked 2 Double Beds Deluxe received 2 Double Beds Executive Floor. The hotel has only 4 room types. The two mentioned above, 1 King Bed Executive Junior Suite and 1 King Bed Presidential Suite.

How are the rooms?

Not new any more but clean and sufficiently largely with comfy beds. The bathroom is a little bit on the small side and has only a shower in the bath tub.

How is the exec. lounge?

On the small side and kind of clinical. Not a place where you want to spend more time than necessary. The food offering during happy hour from 18:00 to 20:00 was OK. Some local finger food, sandwiches, salads, sushi, deserts, etc. There is a bar where soft drinks and alcohol is served. Alcoholic drinks are limited to two drinks per person.

Breakfast offering was also good. A miniature version of the hot and cold buffet as found in the restaurant, plus omelets and other egg dishes made to order.

What was good and what was bad?

Good:
- The breakfast in the restaurant was terrific. It was included in the rate we booked so I don’t know if you could choose it with club access instead of the breakfast in the lounge.
- The Lounge offerings.
- The service all around. At check in, in the lounge, at breakfast.

Bad:
- The design of the lounge.
- Pool very small.
- USD 20 Ambassador restaurant credit was not offered. Didn’t follow up on that as I was quite happy to get lounge access, had breakfast included in the booked rate and had no opportunity to dine in the restaurant or have a drink in the bar.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?

Paid USD112 for two people incl. breakfast and taxes. Very good value. Would return.
