Minimum comfort in this very old hotel. The AC is noisy and not efficient at all. Wifi is only accessible in the lobby. Building needs maintenance.
We also had a surprise regarding the laundry fees, they announced around 250 pesos, we had to pay 600 pesos (2.5 times more). Hot water was not available the first day. Curtains are not dark enough, so it wakes you up when the sun rises.
Location is great though, right downtown Merida.

We went first week of Sept. weather was 90s and very humid. We weren’t able lower the temp in our room. It’s already preset, you’re only able to adjust the fan speed.

Air conditioning was broken with temperatures over 100 degrees. Baby couldn’t sleep, I had to go sleep by pool cause I couldn’t breath in the heat. Nice staff but the building and rooms need a lot of work.

One of the only places that had a/c during a tropical storm. Lovely accommodating staff. And a back up generator in case the storm got worse. It was perfect because they have a restaurant inside and all every store were close for the hurricane so we were able to eat and at other hotels. We weren’t going to come here at first but our first hotel wasn’t going to have services or

Casa del Balam is a great little hotel with good shopping and dining near by. The staff is friendly and parking is included should you rent a car. The restaurant downstairs has live entertainment and good food. Walking distance from several plazas and museums.

The staff was amazing, from the front desk staff to the servers in the restaurant. They communicated very well with us despite the language barrier.

This hotel is convenient to the centro historico, it is two blocks from the Gran Plaza and one block from Plaza Santa Lucia. It is an older hotel with a courtyard in the center, typical of what hotels were like in the past. Unique and clean with a restaurant downstairs. The hotel bathrooms need a little updating, but not remodeling the hotel to make it modern because it would lose its character.

Great stay!!! Loved this hotel, convenient and close to downtown Merida. Only problem, A/C unit in the 1st floor don’t work. First night say was pretty miserable considering the over 100F’s weather conditions. 2nd night, management moved us to 4th floor which work out perfectly.

Location is ideal and main driver to stay there.
Property is clean and maintained within acceptable standards. Would recommend if it is for a short stay and if convenience is a factor you consider important.
