Traveler Reviews of El Balcon Hostal

Nice

Rating: 100%

Located in the quiet neighborhood of Vallecito, this 1940's built home
converted into colonial home is an excellent option for a classy, tranquilo experience. Above the entry, there is a colonial era wooden church balcony, similar to those seen in the main Plaza in Lima, giving it an air of elegance not found in other hotels in the region.
