Hotel El Balcón
Tambo de Montero 222, Cusco City Centre, 051 Cusco, Peru – Great location - show map
After booking, all of the property’s details, including telephone and address, are provided in your booking confirmation and your account.
Very cute and quaint. It’s technically a hostel and you definitely get that type of feel, except you have your own room and bathroom. It’s definitely no frills, so if you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t the place for you. But if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to lay your head, look no further. Location is great, just a quick walk to Plaza de armas and easy access to all the restaurants and cafes you could want. The food at the hotel was the highlight of our stay. The cook is a lovely Peruvian woman who feels like your favorite aunt or grandmother. And the food is spectacular. The quinoa soup is perfect for cool nights, and the pancakes are the best I’ve ever had.

PeruThis was our second time at El Balcon. They have wonderful staff, beautiful gardens, great views of the city in the upper rooms, and a delicious breakfast. Upper rooms have more light and space. All rooms were super clean. We took advantage of the laundry service several times during our long stay and were very satisfied that El Balcon did not use heavily perfumed detergent. Their hospitality and service are always stellar! Great home base to take day trips into the Sacred Valley or walk the historic district.

United States of AmericaGreat location close to Plaza da Armas but far rnough away from the noise and traffic. If you get a room with a view it's nice to see the sky line. Drinking water available 24/7 which is super helpful qhen adjusting to the altitude.
