In addition to the fact that the door is not easy to find, the hotel's internal facilities / staff attitudes are not bad, especially there are places like sofa conferences on each floor. You can continue to stay next time.

The room aircon was very noisy. Very bare minimal toiletries. The staff from reception to cafe service staff are very pleasant and friendly, service is good and cheerful.

Has nothing to do with pictures on the website.
No proper entrance, outdated hallways and rooms, windows in the room facing some metal rods. TV does not work.

The hotel location is good, right in the central, and thats about it. The building is quite run down. The standard room is very average and no window and no bathtub. So be careful not to book a standard room is you want window and bathtub. The safe in my room does not work and /I told the staff but no change after 4 days. The building used to have an ATM and a bar, both are gone. The area is fine and you can find ATM few blocks away. The restaurant close at 9pm. So have your dinner early and almost everything close at 10pm, if your flight is late, nothing to buy nor eat in the area. Be prepared. Also, even though breakfast is included, but its not buffet. There are only 4 choices: traditional casado, omlette, pancake and yogurt with fruit. It also includes 1 drink only, choice of coeffe or orange juice. If you want both or something else, you need to pay out of pocket. Overall, standard room won't look like the pictures, I am disappointed. Breakfast is a huge let down. The surrounding area is walkable to many attractions but you almost have to Uber/Taxi to everywhere else.

No view of anything, not even the street. Elevator didn’t go to the lobby. Needs refreshing- old.

The Balmoral is on Central Ave. which is a pedestrian walk way. If you take the free walking tour that you can find on line it will help you get a lay of the land. You can then explore the historical sites and public market with ease. We felt very safe during the day. Down at the plaza by the clock, we sat and ate our icecream cones and watched the water fountain and activity. The hotel staff were wonderfully helpful. The room was spotless and there were seating areas that were nice. There were closed shops in the building probably due to the pandemic. This place is a 5 for people looking for history. If you are looking for a pool and massage you should stay somewhre else
