Hotel Balmoral
Shops downstairs, the Gold Museum two minutes away
About this stay
The ground floor is a small commercial parade rather than a lobby in the usual sense, with shops running along the front and Restaurante El Patio Del Balmoral opening straight onto Avenida Central, which makes this the most street-connected of the four-star hotels in Montelimar. Two minutes on foot reaches the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum under Plaza de la Cultura and three the Morazan Park bus stop. The rooms and suites above are straightforward rather than styled, air conditioned and served by room service. Free breakfast, free parking and free Wi-Fi are included, and the listing adds a fitness centre, a bar, full-service laundry, a business centre and accessible rooms. Pets are welcome. The airport is thirty-four minutes by taxi with a shuttle available.
- Four-star rooms and suites

Our take
I would choose Hotel Balmoral for its position and what the room rate includes. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum is two minutes on foot, Restaurante El Patio Del Balmoral is at the door, and free breakfast, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning come with the stay. Kid-friendly rooms, a fitness centre, a business centre and an airport shuttle are listed. The rooms and suites are straightforward rather than stylish, so it suits practical travellers more than design lovers.
- ✓Ask for a high room at the rear, Avenida Central is loud from early morning and the front rooms take all of it.
- ✓Eat at El Patio del Balmoral once, it is at the door and it draws a local crowd rather than only hotel guests.
- ✓Walk two minutes to the Gold Museum in the first hour it opens, the underground galleries are calmest then.
Why we love it
