Very nice hotel, very clean and affordable. Is in the heart of Catarina, the owners are super nice. Sometimes the receptionist is not in the lobby and the front door is locked, just go to the pharmacy 2 doors down, the owners live there and they will let you in.

I am so grateful tis hotel is in Catarina. I often drive over to visit the nurseries and buy plants, a short overnighter from SJDS. It is exactly all that I need and you cannot beat the value. Breakfast is always really good.

WARNING: THIS BUSINESS IS CLOSED. However, they still accept bookings through Expedia and other booking websites. If you attempt to contact the hotel via phone or email they do not answer. And they don't provide refunds. It's a scam to steal your money.

Una joya en Catarina!

El Balcón es una opción hotelera que sobresale en la zona. Ubicado en Catarina, ofrece opciones bastante atractivas para disfrutar en Masaya. La atención es personal, con alta disposición. Hospitalidad y calidad es su actitud!
