Ok
Our room was small, but it was ok. The WiFi never worked well. This was the only place we stayed in that had WiFi issues and was pretty frustrating. Also, didn’t think I would mind, but there’s no TV in the room or shared spaces. The night we came back from Machu Picchu, we just wanted to crash in bed and a tv or WiFi would’ve been nice. Also, the restaurant wasn’t open for dinner.

Nobody picked us up at airport
We were supposed to be picked up at airport, but no one showed up. So we had to activate our cellular service, which we weren't planning on doing, and call El Balcon. The woman took forever to find our names, and eventually sent a taxi, but we wasted an hour and cellular service cost. Room was good, shower was hot, wifi was good, free drinking water available, early breakfast was good, and we bought a box lunch that they prepared for our train ride to Machu Pacchu.

breakfast
The room has a comfy bed. Warm water takes time and it’s limited. The internet wifi extremely slow and in some locations non existent. Breakfast is the best thing. reat location close to a vegan restaurant and the main plaza.
