WHAT A DELIGHT!! It was the perfect way to finish our two week vacation in El Salvador. Casa ILB, our third and final stop. They were able to accomodate us last minute. From the moment we drove into the large circular courtyard we knew we were in for a pleasant experience. As we walked into the lobby we were directed... More

We spent our first night after landing in el Salvador here. Very quiet and peaceful. Huge modern clean all white rooms. Management very friendly. The restaurant at the hotel we heard from a number of sources is supposed to be fantastic. We landed too late to try it out but it looked very busy and it was filled with rich... More

With only 5 room ilB is very quiet and peaceful. The hotel is separated from the restaurant by the lobby so it feels completely separated. I stayed in room 1 which I believe is the largest and it was perhaps the larges hotel room I've ever had. Very nice furnishings and bathroom. In the middle of the public area is... More

This is such a great boutique hotel, with all the comfort you will need. Yes, it does not have a Gym nor swimming pool, which you will not miss. Due to the fact that the Rest. il Bongustaío is the main part of this complex, you will have the best italian food in central america, promissed! The italian chef Roberto... More

Stayed in this hotel two nights and I'm 100% convinced that no hotel in San Salvador can match the level of service, excellent food, beautiful rooms and quiet atmosphere of this Casa ilB. I'm coming back next time I'm going to San Salvador.

The bar and restaurant are also incredible. I had an amazing experience with my wife and the owner, Roberto, definitely makes you feel like home. I am definitely staying there next... More

I stayed at the Bongustaio during a conference that took place in San Salvador in June. It is an elegant boutique hotel with only a few rooms that offers a cozy, home-like atmosphere. The service was fantastic, the rooms huge, tastefully chic and comfortable. I must say the beds were probably among the most comfortable I have had the chance... More

It was really pleasant and relaxing experience to stay at this hotel. After noisy and crowdy Intercontinental it was like oasis. I wouldn't even call it hotel in its standard meaning, it is a big villa, built in 70s, but it has been fully renovated receintly and equiped with stylish design furniture, etc. Hotel has only five rooms (all suites),...

Casa ILB is a great boutique hotel -- I have already been twice. It's located in a beautiful house that with nice gardens. On the other side of the house, and not intruding with it, is Il Bongustaio which is the best restaurant in San Salvador, serving Italian food. The owners Roberto and Cristina are extremely nice and treat you... More
