"Would not recommend for women"

2.0

This is a difficult review to write as the stay in El Balcon began so well, my boyfriend and I checked in on the 26th and were due to check out on the 29th August, we stayed in room 14 which is on the 1st floor all the way at the end with a view of the mountains. We were left to ourselves which was nice as we were acclimatising to the altitude. On the 2nd night, my boyfriend was in the shower, and I decided to open the window hatch to see the night view and was startled to see one of the cleaners outside, I laughed as we both jumped and he explained in Spanish that he was checking the gas pipe which I didn’t think much of as it seemed very normal. The following morning as we were getting ready to go to breakfast at the hotel, I was in the room getting changed and I see an eye appear in the key hole gap of the door, I screamed and heard running across the corridor, I yelled for my boyfriend and we ran out but they had disappeared. I got quite emotional explaining what happened to the concierge who said they would report to the owner. There were no cameras either but after describing the man who was “fixing the gas pipes” the night before, she said that doesn’t make any sense as all of that equipment is in another area of the hotel. I was with a male and went through this so I can’t imagine the experience of a solo female traveller. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel until proper doors and locks are installed, cctv is installed in all areas and the person involved is fired.

The place was pretty nice overall. Breakfast was better than most places we have been to in Peru. The noise was awful though. Starting at about midnight fireworks were going off like every 15 minutes, creating a form of psychological torture. This went on pretty much till it got light out, at that time, the people above us started making loud noises. Like dropping pool balls or something on the hard wood floors. Overall the place was clean and did the job for one night
