Carlos, the owner, was everything you would like a host to be. He pays attention to all the details to make you feel at home. He greets you at the entrance of the facility, offers you some coca tea for free whenever you want, he even has a rack full of goodies for you to pick (soroche pills and other things). The rooms were lovely, really clean and tidy. The hot water works everytime. The hotel is in a very good location, near to Plaza de San Blas, which is one of Cusco's most attractive zones. As the name of the hotel says, it has a lovely balcony with outstanding views of the city. Would recommend to go at night time. Lovely place to stay, and the value is amazing.

Tiene una vista hermosa desde la habitación y desde su terraza. La atención de Carlos fue muy buena sinceramente.

En mi casa viaje con una persona un poco mayor y si que fue un poco desafiante el tema de las escaleras. Si vienes ligero de cosas no se hace tan tedioso.

Very kind host!

Carlos was extremely hospitable and friendly. He made sure to check in on us during our stay, answered any and all of our questions, and gave valuable advice for getting around Cuzco/what to explore. We spent our first few nights in Cuzco here and certainly felt welcomed. The room was comfortable and clean with access to a kitchen if necessary. The balcony view was absolutely breathtaking too.

The reviews are not wrong-- it is definitely a climb to get here but I promise it is so worth it. Not the most accessible location if you are looking to stay close to the plaza, but it is definitely a pleasant stay if you are willing to take the hike. And hey, if you are planning to take the Salkantay Trek or Inca Trail, you'll get some training in on your way up to Casa Mirador!

Carlos was extremely communicative and friendly. Decent room, beautiful view from the terrace. I would definitely stay here again!

Really lovely hostel. Incredible views over the city, lovely rooms - one of the nicest we'd had in 6 weeks. Carlos, the host was super helpful recommending places to eat, visit and helping me to get a new SIM card too.

We liked everything. The only comment I'd have is it would be great to have breakfast included for the price and the floors with the views have so much potential for socialising. Breakfast could help make that happen. Other than that, a great spot.

we have not opted for breakfast

as said by all, location is something difficult to access with the altitude but the views are really good.

the owner was super friendly and explained everything in great detail

the room and especially the bathroom was tiny, with water running only on low pressure
