Liz, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great place to stay with a nice garden and great views from the balcony. Staff were nice and helpful. Special thanks to the kitchen staff - very friendly and considerate. Love the breakfast. Downside could be room condition and cleanliness. But overall it was a good stay.
HAOZHENG, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really great location and adorable place with a lot of charm. The staff was great and helpful, the breakfast was good, and they help our bags overnight for our one night trip to Aqua Calientes. Highly recommend! Only small issue was that our room for our second night was just next to the road, so we could hear cars rumbling down the cobble stones all night. If you're a light sleeper, it might be worth requesting a room on the other side of the courtyard.
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were simple but had a nice design. The common area gardens were lovely. Comfortable beds and linens. Breakfast was fresh and had high quality ingredients. Staff was friendly. As others said, bathrooms were just ok, a bit musty, and could use a refresh and renovation to match the better quality of the rooms and overall hotel itself. I booked ahead of time and got a good price and value.
Zachary, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place in general.
Juan Carlos, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Good service, beautiful property. Rooms are freezing cold and the small heater they provide does absolutely nothing. Never been so cold in a hotel before. Not worth the price per room either honestly.
Mitchel Kristoffer, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

It’s a hostel. Scary showers and the doors don’t really lock.
Peyton, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay at El Balcon. It was conveniently located, clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. As you can see from the photos of others, it's very quaint.
