Description
¡ Please write to us in Spanish !
Hello !
We are Estela y melkis, a Salvadoran couple living in the nice colonial city of Santa Ana and we've been running our hotel for 4 years now. The hotel is a colonial mansion of 11 rooms, full of colors and history. It is located in the historical center of Santa Ana, one block from the main place.
Santa Ana is a really cute city and in the surroundings there are many places to visit, hike or swim !
The little extra that makes the difference : we have a comfy green terrace to relax on and good wifi for general online usage or remote work.
Last but not least : our super staff is made of 3 people that are in charge of the reception, cleaning and general maintenance.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At our place, you will improve your spanish for sure ! And by spending time with all of us you will learn about the history, food and culture of El Salvador.
We also have an allie from a different hostel, a local guide born and raised in santa ana, running the first walking tour in town. Day trips and so much insights about our country. You can join his activities for free and have the best authentic local experience. Ask for more info at the reception.
Help
You will be helping the team with the cleaning (patio, living-room, water the plants) and general maintenance of the hotel (painting walls, decoration, repairing or improving the rooms etc.).
We also would like to improve our english so if you can give us classes, that would be great !

Si trabaja pero es necesario supervisarlo y eso provoca que el personal que labora deba invertir tiempo solo en ello. Si mejora esa parte puede ser un buen voluntario.
