No A/C working had to move to another room.
Cold water faucet in shower not working (just drops) was reported every day and nothing done.
What is the best of a hotel? Location, location, location, and customer service. Casa del Balam has a great location, friendly staff, easy access to public transportation and taxis, walkable location to historic centro, restaurants in walking distance, it is dated, but very clean.
This is a charming colonial hotel located in Centro/St Lucia. We also stayed here in 2023. The staff was responsive when we communicated via WhatsApp both before and during our stay. After 3 days of great pressure and hot water, there was no hot water for a day, but these things happen in old historic buildings. Bathroom updates are needed and housekeeping could be a bit more thorough, but we like the place for a few nights’ stay. Recommended.
Colonial building, furniture and decorations. Restaurant's prices were higher than others surrounding the property. A discount for guests could invite us to eat there.
Staff very helpful and friendly, the hotel is very nice and convenient.
No complaints only suggestions.
Need new towels, darkened curtains and air conditioning.
Thank you, we enjoyed our stay.😊
Very charming Hotel. Clean, comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. I had a very pleasant stay here and I will be coming back on my next trip to Mèrida. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent location. The patio and pool areas are very nice. The rooms need an upgrade, particularly the bathrooms and closets. The staff is very helpful. It is not a 4 star hotel as listed, but it's convenient.
The priming room was amazing with the balcony. The room was just as posted. The staff were very courteous. The restaurant in/attached to the hotel served excellent food and the staff in both spoke English. The cleaning staff was very thorough. The grounds were well kept. We would definitely stay here again.
The property is beautiful with a great courtyard. They had a guitar player in the mornings, which added to the ambiance. The pool is very nice and well-maintained, with many thoughtful touches throughout the hotel. Although it is an older hotel, it is impeccably cared for. The rooms and beds are comfortable, and the staff is super helpful. The location is perfect, situated on Calle 60 between La Plaza Grande and Parque Santa Lucia. Despite being on a busy street, we couldn't hear the city noise at night. Overall, it was a great experience.
