I'm shocked by all of the great reviews of Hotel Balcon del Cielo in Guanajuato! I chose the hotel because it was ranked #2 on Trip Advisor. I've lost confidence in Trip Advisor due to this experience. The hotel is up on the hill and you have to take a cable car up and down to the town square. It... More

We stayed at Hotel Balcon del Cielo on a Friday and Saturday night in April 2012. The view is surreal!!! The hotel provides free access to the Funicular, which goes right down to the middle of Centro. It is literaly right outside the door and it's easily accessible, until 9:45 pm. We missed the last ride one night and ended... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Balcon del Cielo on our first visit to Guanajuato. The location is unique and wonderful. The hotel is situated right between the landmark El Pipila and the funicular. Our terrace looked directly over the downtown over the city. We've traveled in over 30 countries, and this is the best urban view we've seen.... More

Hotel is hard for taxi drivers to locate: Seems as if they do not know if they should drive around to the top of the mountain and drop off passengers or to drop them off at the foot of the hill to take the funicular up to the hotel. At any rate, once up at the hotel, it offers sweeping... More

This is a nice, small hotel. I stayed in room 2, with a private terrace. When you arrive at the hotel, you will likely take a taxi to the Pipila monument. It's a short walk down a flight of stairs to the hotel. I arrived at night, and several locals pointed the way to me. It's right next to the... More

But one thing we should warn visitors..do not bother with going to the place they recommend for breakfast, even thought... More

We thought this was a great choice for a two night stay exploring Guanajuato. As previous reviewers have said, the location really is terrific - just below the Pipila monument at the terminus of the little funicular that runs up and down the hill. The views are amazing, and being up on the hill makes for a quieter experience than... More

I think your experience at Balcon del Cielo depends on your expectations. If you came to have really great views of Guanajuato and a nice, comfortable stay, then you came to the right place. The room is large and modern and very nicely decorated, and the front desk is very willing to do whatever you need. The location is great... More

I just stayed at the Balcon De Cielo the past 2 nights. It is a good hotel with nice rooms, clean and comfortable with some charm, friendly staff and a good value for the price paid (I got my room through bookings.com at a good discount). There are also incredible views of the city. However, there are lot of little... More
