Lovely rustic and cozy hotel right in the heart of the city center. The restaurant had excellent food and the staff was all very pleasant.Easily walkable. Close to the train station and airport. My only complaint was the wi-fi signal in the hotel room was poor, though it worked fine in the common areas and restaurant.

We missed our Nov 3 reservation due to flight issues but we had Nov 5 booked and decided to stay another night almost immediately. Staff was very welcoming and the premises feel so relaxing. The cherry on top was the omelette for breakfast and delicious coffee. Wonderful place. Thank you!

I don’t often leave reviews but this is an awesome place to stay if you plan to be out exploring Cusco. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, great breakfast and away from the traffic. Quiet location but only a 5 minute walk to the main square and city centre. Small thing to consider, if you have a lot of luggage or bags on wheels some routes include stairs. Highly recommend. Cheers!

This is a cute accommodation, very authentic and not a cookie cutter. The way it’s set is to disconnect, there is no tv in the room, just a good simple room with a good mattress. Breakfast is great, good cofffee.

Great little hotel! The breakfast was perfect! Upstairs neighbors were loud and the hotel is a little ways away from everything which requieres a lot of walking to everything but on the upside less noisy than the center.

The rooms were fabulously clean, comfortable beds, the staff was super friendly, and the courtyard was beautiful. It was a noisy street, but that seemed to be a consistent everywhere in Cusco. Easy walk to the main square. The balcony was a great place to sit and enjoy the view.

My friend and I loved the property, super cute for a fair price. The staff was so nice and the breakfast very tasty and healthy, they work just with organic products from the area which made the experience unique. The location is fairly close to the main plaza. We highly recommend El Balcón.

Warm welcome, excellent service, cleanless, water&tea available 24/7, complimentary apples in the room, great help with emergency situation. This is subjective, but we felt chilly in the room and had to use heaters. Average temperature in the room was 18 degrees Celsius without the heater.
