The staff is lovely, I like the the convenience of Bistrola 57 being on site. I love the antiqueness of the room and the grandness of the center courtyard. It's like staying in someone's home. Any time I come to Mérida, it's my go to hotel.

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.
