This hotel was beautifully restored and maintained. It is in a great location - close to the city's plaza - which makes walking around and exploring Cusco great. There is also a full jug of clean water in the lobby at any time, which allows for easy drinking. The staff was accommodating and kind, and allowed us to store our bags during the Incan trail.

The moment I walked into this hotel, I knew I made the right decision! The staff was so welcoming, kind, and eager to share some knowledge of places you may need and want to see in the area. It is right near El Plaza de Armas, making it super accessible to everywhere you want to see. The gardens they had in the centre of the the hotel, with the rooms surrounding it were gorgeous and a welcome place to relax, start and end your day. The complimentary breakfast bar, as well as having eggs or pancakes made on demand the way you like it was the best way to start the day! Breakfast starts at 6am, which is great if youre doing any daytours, as they primarily start very early in the morning. Highly recommend choosing this hotel for your trip to Cusco, you will not be disappointed!

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!

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.
