This property is stunning. We stayed 3 nights at a 5 star prior to a trek, and stayed our last evening at El Balcon when we returned to Cusco. We are already planning our next trip and this hotel is our first choice. We stayed in 18, the balcony suite on the corner. The fireplace was loaded and set up when we arrived and the room was gorgeous. The decor was STUNNING. The shower was hot and water pressure was fantastic. The breakfast was delicious. Fresh juice, amazing guacamole, homemade butter and jam. The staff were the most thoughtful people we’d met in Peru. We felt very welcome. Can’t recommend this hotel enough.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cusco! Beautiful place and lovely helpful staff! Very walkable distance to the main square but just far enough away to be a quieter area. Also a nice walk/hike from the hotel to the ruins!

Maria at reception is the best! She helped our family with coordinating transportation and finding out information about Cusco. All of the staff were friendly and kind. The rooms and property are beautiful and extremely well maintained. The meals in the restaurant were delicious and a full breakfast was provided.

El Balcon is a nice hotel. However it is not reccomended for people with disabilities or problem with walking steep roads or climbing steps. The hotel breakfast is excellent and staff is very courteous and helpful.

A quiet, friendly corner with a view!
Ei Balcon was perfect for me. Time for myself and writing in a beautiful place; an excellent breakfast, a good supper and glass of wine if I wanted it. Friendly service and easy access to the centre, along with wonderful views. I hope I will have the chance to come back.

We have stayed at El Balcon twice and have a third stay booked. Well kept property and grounds, courteous staff, great breakfast, very clean and comfortable rooms and bed, common dining area open after hours, free luggage storage while a trek, 10 minute walk from plaza. Quiet street at night.

The best breakfast in Peru
A delightful place. Nice room in an historic building and the best breakfast we had in the whole of Peru: the formidable lady in charge of the restaurant was really keen that we had a nice meal. A pretty good location - about 15 minutes' walk from the main square but you wouldn't want to be any closer in than that, probably

6/10 Good

The physical location in an old traditional house is great. Food was awesome. Rooms needed more places to store or hang clothes. Biggest negative was bathroom. The steam from the shower would accumulate and condense in the skylight. Then it dripped on you as you stood at the sink, brushing teeth, washing hands, etc. As a result, it had a very dank, unpleasant smell.
