The BOOM, Boom, booom started at 6:30am this morning! The major construction right next door has rendered the Hotel Balsa worthless! The new multistory hotel in construction will require at least a year's worth of pounding and chiseling. Balsa is a nice hotel otherwise! Attentive staff, ample breakfast, central location but staying next to an loud construction site is not... More

Good rooms and service. Bathroom was very clean with hot water, soap/shampoo supply. The Breakfast was pretty good with lay out of fruits, breads, tea/coffee juices etc. Free Wi-fi connection and it was fast. The reception staff was friendly and even printed out my itenary on request. Over all good value for price.

This hotel in Puno is very close to Plaza de Armas and to the main street which you can find a lot of restaurant and shop. Rooms are clean and quite big, the bathroom is good. Free wi-fi connection is avaible and fast, there are two pc with internet in the hall for the customers. Great breakfast!

The breakfast here is the not greatest but it does have more items then many more elsewhere. It mostly consist of breads, jams, cheese, and luncheon meats. Also with that there are various juices and yogurt. Yes that is... More

We stayed in this simple but pleasant and clean hotel for 2 nights of our Peru holiday. It's in a great location, just around the corner from the cathedral and main restaurants. Unfortunately as this was our 2nd night in Peru most of our party were feeling tired with headaches from the altitude. The bathroom was adequate with plenty of... More

This is the best accommodation we had during our trip to Peru with proper running toilet, hot water, free internet, and very good breakfast. We stayed here for 2 nights as our home base for our Lake Titicaca day excursion. It is clean and very reasonable in price. Situated in the heart of Puno (about 2 blocks away from Plaza... More

Stayed at Balsa Inn for 2 nights - before and after our trip to the Islands of lake Titicaca. It is located near the main plaza and the front desk staff are polite and helpful, but that's about it. The room we were given had a skylight but no window that actually opened out to fresh air. Our bathroom and... More

Stayed 2 nights in 2 different rooms both of which were fairly dark & old fashioned. 1st room had a half glazed door from the corridor as its attempt at a window! The second was better but still odd with windows to corridor & a kind of atrium which leaked when it rained & boy does it rain here! Overall... More

It's situated in a slightly grubby looking side street, but it's only one block away from the main square and yet it's still nice and quiet at night. There's plenty of choice for an evening meal just a short walk away down a pedestrian street (a welcome novelty in South America!). I really liked Puno, it has a nice atmosphere.... More
