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.

This awsome little hotel is perfect for someone looking for a vibe. It is small, quaint and friendly. It has some historic charm and the gardens are beautiful. I especially loved all the lanterns everywhere and the old doors and windows.

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.

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.

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.
