A delightful hotel and exceptionally helpful staff
Balcones deserves six points out of five on every count: it was absolutely excellent! The place was charming and well located, and the staff were all brilliant. They were charming, helpful, friendly, and well informed, and not at all pushy. They offered as much contact as you wanted but were always ready with help or just for a chat.

An incredible place, in easy walking distance of the Capitol building and most of the areas of interest within Old Havana. Breakfast was wonderful and the rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were the highlight with everyone being so helpful - we had our luggage lost by the airline and the staff went out of their way to help us with clothes, toiletries and even money! Couldn't thank them enough and would definitely stay again.

Fabulous staff, lovely room
The staff here were incredible - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast was great, as was the bar in the evening. We had our first mojito out of a teapot - definitely to be recommended!

Great hotel, great experience!
We lives out trip to Havana and especially at Hostal Balcones Muralla. Jorge was great at welcoming us and making us comfortable. He also was great with this restaurants recommendations. He made us feel comfortable and gave us good tips about the city. The staff was always nice with us and wanting to help. Breakfast was a great experience. Nothing fancy but very tasty. The neighborhood was great too. We felt we were part of the real Havana life. It was a bit noisy at night but if you are light sleeper, bring some earplugs. We feel it’s the case in every parts of the city and only the 5 stars conventional hotels would be quieter. We loved our experience and we will recommend it to all our for friends.
