Could be better
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.

Casa del Balam is our “go to” hotel in Merida because of its perfect location near the outstanding Plaza Grande with all its restaurants, shops and cultural events. We love the historic charm of the hotel, its pool area and its restaurant.

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.
