I have what I paid But I think it doesn't need to be a super expensive place to be clean and well maintainedBathroom 1 star  The 5 stars only is for quite place and walkable to downtown

The hotel itself is nice. It could use some upgrades. Pool needs cleaning. Staff is lovely and helpful. Breakfast is delicious and free.

Staying there was a horrible experience. I was very noisy, really dirty bathroom, almost not running water at the sink, only one electrical socket in a room accommodating 3 adults. It’s terrible

Such a colonial vibe experience staying at this hotel

Was my worst experience in a hotel in Nicaragua I would never recommend a hotel everything about the hotel was terrible. The restroom the wall the room itself the front desk help.

The bedrooms are not like the photos. Old wooden dirty floors, stains on the ceiling, no parking, noisy.

The hotel is located right in downtown. The area is pretty safe and it’s still close to a lot of nice restaurants and other attractions. The hotel itself has a lot of potential but lacks a bit of maintenance. We booked a king size bedded room and all they have is double beds. The staff is very accommodating and willing to solve any issues you may run into and give you a good bunch of valuable information about the city. We asked to be moved to a room with two double beds (because we’re both big guys) - they were able to give us a larger room. However, the shower is not the best and since the rooms face the main roads, the noise wakes you up before 5am. We asked for a room not facing the street, the one they gave us had a single and a double bed and a better shower. The A/C was leaking a bit of water. On our check out day, water pump broke and had to use a downstairs bathroom because there was not enough water pressure in our room. You can ask for blankets at the front desk because their beds only have sheets that might not keep you cozy if you keep the A/C on. Breakfast is fair, the give you three options to choose from: typical,American or pancakes. Finally, the pool is nice but it still needs more maintenance. Overall, if you don’t mind the noise and want to stay in a convenient location, this is your place. Hopefully, your stay will be free of small inconveniences and note that this is merely objective based on our experience, no intention to damage the hotel’s image.

the Staff could not speak English & I didn't speak Spanishwe used our Translator on our Phone ,it went well.very nice People.

First the good stuff. Staff were friendly and helpful, including when we hit problems. No complaints about them. Bed linen and towels were spotless and well maintained. Also there was clearly some maintenance work going on in the hotel to possibly improve some rooms, so perhaps in the future the following negative aspects will be improved. So the negatives: firstly, it’s not their fault, but the hotel is located at a busy junction in the centre of town. The noise from not only the traffic, but also from the surrounding shops is relentless. It is very sad that a Hotel famous for and named for its balconies, it is too noisy and dirty for you to open the balcony doors and enjoy them. Earplugs are essential. The hotel itself is a great building, but needs considerable maintenance, and the three rooms I visited were only superficially clean. One room had water pouring down the wall from the Aircon, and well established black mould growing underneath. Second room had broken toilet cistern which leaked. Third also had cistern problems. Staff were helpful and moved me each time without fuss. But after one night there I gave up and move to another hotel, although I’d paid in full. Balcones is advertised as a budget no-frills hotel, but for only £10 a night more, I stayed at the high quality El Convento instead. I Wish this hotel well for the future, it needs some investment and love and it could come back to life as the great hotel I remember from a previous visit 10 years ago.

Disappointing and could do better

Like the other guests reviewing Los Balcones...  It's dirty, smelly and unclean.

My room smelled of dust and the floor was coated in it. 2 other couples in my group had to move rooms because their toilets were either broken and leaking on the floor or not functioning.

We were a group of 10. They even forgot our booking. Now, I know the trouble, strife issues and sacrifice of the people of Nicaragua at present but it seemed like no one had stayed at this hotel in at least 6 months. Nothing prepared, nothing clean. It's really unfortunate, but it's a fact.

The room itself was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Yeah ok, the room was dusty but ok. The bathroom was tiny and my shower was poor at best. It sprayed horizontally and it's electric. I wasn't touching it with exposed wires. So, I endured.

I had a balcony room, great big old wooden doors,leading to what was once a pretty loud street full of action. That's not the current status here, so it was relatively quiet.

Breakfast, once you actually extracted from the staff wasn't too bad. Both days. Wasn't great. Wasn't horrible. But worthwhile. The breakfast area next to reception and looks like a ghost town, nothing like Trip Advisor pictures... don't be fooled.

Staff were indifferent, strange for a country begging for tourists at this time. And, I speak moderate Spanish. One staff member was friendly and was of great help.

There is a lively bar up the road, Via Via. 100m away. Safe walk and security is reasonable at the Hotel. They speak Spanish but that is our duty as guests to try and learn their language....

Would I stay here again. No. Pity because in it's Prime it would have been amazing. Now, it's a sad shell of yester-year.
