Sarah
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. If you are someone who needs it to be quiet to sleep then staying in this area is not for you. I however, do not mind it and had a really good night sleep.
The staff were really friendly, check in was easy, the beds were comfortable and it is in a great location.
A nice touch would have been a kettle to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee on the balcony.
The breakfast was made to order from a select menu and was tasty. I would stay here again.

It’s loud late night and bathroom was super dirty. Towels are really gross.
Nina Krishna
Pros: Right in the heart of Casco Viejo. A lot of restaurants and tourist spots close-by. Staffs are friendly and welcoming.
Cons: Limited breakfast option. Loud at night due to parties especially on weekends.

They must not use Orbitz alot because they couldn't even find my reservation, had to wait 45 min to check in, then my room has no toilet paper or paper towels (found that out after dropping a duece) and then the shower didnt work either
Alexandre
Unbeatable location, excellent value if you don’t expect a lot, it’s just right and a place just to stay that is your place!
EDWARD
The location is very good. The staff was pleasant and the breakfast was good. On the negative side they should put new locks on the guests doors and I didn't like the temperature of the shower changing from warm to cold every few minutes.
Jesse
If your traveling on a budget this is the place. No frills or thrill's. I personally would not stay there again. It's on one of the main streets in Casco Antiguo lots of noise.
Frederic Raymond
Location and value is the strongest factor, with staff a close second. Breakfast was fresh, but starts at 0730, a factor on excursion planning. No actual restaurant, besides hot breakfast. This place is a great base of operations, not a resort to lounge at. Bring your own shampoo, lotion, etc...no frills here; bathroom walls do not reach the ceiling, steam and sound move freely. Also, balcony is not guaranteed, regardless of 3rd party listings. Will choose again, but bring my own comforts.
Yalmiris E.
Very nice staff and lobby area. However the rooms are far from being \"boutique\". Boutique hotels are known for their attention to details. Absolutely no amenities. Four white walls and an open face closet with 5 wire hangers. The bathroom didn't even a towel hook or a place to put my toiletries. I had to put my towel and clothes on the toilet seat so I could reach for them.
Bogdan
Centraly located. Close to 5 de Mayo metro and all buses.
Sandra
Outside and lobby was very nice but i was disappointed in the room. Breakfast was not great, it was cold and it too too much time to get utensils.
Tiffany
Enjoyed my stay! Very noisy but that comes with being in the old town area. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good and location was GREAT!
Robin
The location is great but be prepared for a lot of noise. Breakfast was served and very good. The room needed some attention.
kerri
Our little balcony overlooking Casco Viejo was the highlight of our stay. We spent a lot of time there people watching.
Walter
Loud Music til 4am
Great location, however, literally next door is an outdoor roof top disco with loud dance music until 4am on Fri & Sat. So if you don't go to sleep until 4am great location. If not find another hotel. We read many reviews and no one mentioned this...hmmm.
Maisy
Superb location, friendly staff, highly recommend only negative the late night noise from the nearby all night disco would not suit all. Otherwise wonderful
Todd
Bare bones, but okay considering the price.
You do get what you pay for. This place had a decent bed, AC, and a shower. That is really it. We did have some issues getting towels and the shower was not clean, but for the price in the neighborhood, it still worked out fine. Think of it as a two star type of property. If you don't plan on spending any time in your room other than sleep, it will still work out ok for you.
Jeanette
Excellent breakfast. Very courteous staff. Fabulous location
Sarah
While it was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful,the room was quite small and cramped and my window opened onto a small lobby directly opposite another room. I hadnt noticed that breakfast is included so i went out but my friends said it was fine. .The location is perfect.
Monica
Great location
Needs updating. Location is great. Good value
Wayne
A disaster!
The hotel had a bed, a bathroom, a sink and a toilet. It lacked hot water, towels, towel bar or hooks, pillows and people and security. When asked by several guests about hot water they said they had warm water only - and that took ten minutes to get! Bags were left without tending in the lobby. The elevator was a mess. The breakfast was dispensed with tweezers. When we asked for towels we realized there was no place to hang them once used. And in 4 nights they NEVER cleaned the room. The place is a disaster.
Orestis
Horrible! Wouldn’t stay again even for free
Terrible place! There is a rooftop club next door with loud music until 5am every night. The room has virtually no soundproofing. We stayed 3 nights, the room was not cleaned at all, and the towels were not changed (no note about environmental policy). The bathroom is connected to the room (i.e. the wall does not reach the ceiling) so room occupants share each other’s bathroom odour and sound effects. The room is poorly ventilated, so all our clothes were dump and smelled like bad cheese. The breakfast time is designed to be missed (7.30-9.00). The bathroom has no space to leave items like a toothbrush. There is no hair-dryer in the room, and the only mirror is in the bathroom. Hot water is intermittent. Reception is poorly staffed, so there is a security risk. Payment needs to be done in cash, otherwise if paying by credit card, an exorbitant fee will be charged without warning.

Julissa
Very kind and attentive staff but it was apparent that the facility was in a sort of renovation period perhaps.
Rhonda
not as polished as advertised .There is an abandoned building right next to the hotel. The service lady( Maria) was extremely helpful !!!

Great location in the heart of Casco viejo
The location is great to be in the heart of Casco Viejo. The hotel next door has a club on the roof, so bring a sound machine if you are a light sleeper.
Jasmine
The hotel is located in a convenient location in Casco Viejo. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Rooms are quite small but it was perfect for us.
Patti
Great location in the old town area. Easy walking to sites and museums. We had a balcony room and loved it! Very clean and comfortable and great staff! Lots of restaurants close by. Breakfast (eggs, sausage, fruit, toast, juice, etc.) was awesome! We would definitely stay here again!
Emma
Hotel was very cute and well maintained! Loved the balcony in my room—great view of the old town corridors! The area around the hotel gets super noisy at night (particularly on weekends) with party music and honking from constant traffic. Pack some earplugs or headphones if you don’t plan on being out until 2am. Other than the noise, the place was great!
Giovanni
It will be nice if the hotel had parking for guests. Also, they need to pay close attention their elevator which is pretty old. Provide guests with an iron & board would be a plus! And, finally a little more variety on the breakfast
Alexandra
Let down
I have no idea how this hotel got good ratings. The rooms are small and all I could smell was paint in the room the whole time. Nothing special about this place at all. Bathroom was crappy. Location is decent. I would have paid same for a way better place but chose this one from the reviews! Expected way better
Karen
The best thing about this hotel is that it offers incredible value for the price. My room was comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, the daily breakfast was delicious (served with fresh fruit and a variety of egg dishes each day), and it is a great location from which to explore Casco Viejo. It's loud at night (due to a nearby rooftop bar) so sensitive sleepers might struggle, and it's not fancy. I stayed for 10 nights and really liked my stay.

Wonderful people,greatt service

Friendliness of staff
sarah
Great place to stay! Price was awesome ! Next to a rooftop bar and several others around the corner . Ac was good and location was perfect you can walk the whole neighborhood easily. I would go back
Stephen
The hotel was convenient for the National Theatre
Maria Elisa
El hotel tiene una ubicación perfecta, las habitaciones son pequeñas pero son limpias, cómodas y con todo lo necesario, el desayuno que está incluido en la tarifa es muy bueno, tiene todo lo que uno necesita y sobre todo el personal es lo mejor que tiene el hotel.
Michael
Will stay again!
What a hidden gem in a beautiful and historic location. The price was incredibly reasonable, and I opted for an inner room which kept the noise level to zero. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included and so is coffee virtually 24/7. And they will answer any WhatsApp questions within minutes (not hours or days like some hotels). Highly recommend!

Las fotos que se muestran son cuando el hotel era nuevo. No se le ha dado mantenimiento y esta sucio. El personal que atiende es un loteria y no estan informados entre si. No te ofrecen ni agua embotellada en la habitación.
Daniela
Agradável supresa
Fiz a reserva com receio pois tinha apenas uma avaliação do 2025 e as de 2024 não estavam muito boas. Mesmo assim, preferi arriscar pela localização. Não nos arrependemos, a casa é antiga sempre precisando de manutenção mas não nos impediu de ter uma agradável estadia. Recomendo!

Good hotel
Baluarte is a nice hotel with a great location. Room with balcony is much nicer, but instead a lot of disturbing noise from the neighbor hotel (Tantalo) some nights.
Verified traveler
Buen hotel en pleno centro del Casco Viejo, pero durante el fin de semana no se puede dormir debido a la música hasta las 4am de los clubes de al lado.
Josue
Me parece que le falta mantenimiento pero el precio está acorde a la propiedad, está cerca de varios lugares y tiene una buena ubicación.
