What a gem! This colonial style home has been modernized, while still retaining a beautiful old-world feel. We loved the gorgeous glass doors, the welcoming glass of wine, the in-room wifi---everything contributed to the welcoming atmosphere. And as delightful as the hotel was---the service was awe-inspiring. Upon returning each day, not only were we welcomed home, the staff took an... More

There are few hotels I remember from all of the amazing travels we have had, but one that will remain in my memory is our stay at Los Balcones. I discovered this hotel and chose them because of the wonderful reviews they received on TA. From the moment we were picked up at the airport in Cuenca until the moment... More

For the price, we were very happy. Location is excellent. The rooms are tastefully decorated and have good amenities- safe, fridge, WIFI, TV, etc. Loved the chocolates for turn-down service on the first night, but there weren't any the second night. The restaurant that operates part of the week there (California Kitchen) serves amazing breakfasts and other meals. However, I... More

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff treated us like family members and went above and beyond the call of duty to assist us in making our stay memorable. Our room was always very clean and they made sure that we never missed breakfast each morning. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone... More

First let me say this hotel is BEAUTIFUL, amazing, and the staff are truly marvelous. I love the hotel! However, when staying at a hotel the most important thing I look for is the quality of my time and how good I can sleep. There are two major drawbacks to this hotel. The first is that breakfast is only served... More

My spouse and I stayed at this hotel late April and loved it. The rooms are Spanish colonial style, the staff ( especially David ) goes out of their way to be helpful and informative and the rooms are comfortable with English t.v. options, wifi, a safe in the room and great water pressure and hot water. I especially liked... More

We moved to Hotel Boutique Los Balcones after 1 night in another hotel in Cuenca. The ambiance of the hotel, a classic Colonial Cuencan home now converted to a hotel, is captivating. The hotel has and continues to be renovated to make it even more comfortable. They have added sound proofing french doors to all of the rooms with balconies... More

While staying at the lovely Hotel Balcones I suffered from altitude sickness. Henry, the manager, went out of his way to help me in every way possible. I cannot say enough about how he, and the rest of the staff, treated me. GREAT staff. The central location and decor of the hotel make it a great place to stay.
