Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Balcón del Cielo

We had a great stay and the only issue was that we had a delay in getting hot water but the hotel was able to offer us another room for us to use. The property is right next to the Pipila statue and use of the funicular was complimentary with our reservation so that was a plus! The view was amazing from our balcony and totally recommend this property! We had a great experience and overall cleanliness of the room and hotel was great!

Excellent place

So cute and breathtaking views

Convinient transportation

Beautiful place but alittle far the center

Beautiful hotel and area. My only concern is I paid for the room with the hot tub and the water didn’t come out. I kept telling the clerk if they could help with this. The clerk said that’s how it is and it’ll come out eventually. It never came out, it’s not worth paying extra for the room with the hot tub.

Excellent service. Staff members were very helpful.

It has very nice facilities, very clean and quiet, as well as a beautiful view of the city and very good service.

The shower water I couldn’t control it. The staff lied about the sliding door wasn’t a let to lock because of security reason. What about my security? Small rooms, really hard mattress. No parking included you have to pay extra for parking, they give you a small discount. You have to park your car really far away and lonely place. There is a lot of stairs if you travel with kids or elderly it’s an inconvenience.

This property is located up the hill so ensure you plan your day around the schedule of the funicular (trolley thing that transports you from the central area up to the hotel, which is next door to Monumento Al Pipila). The hotel does give you a complementary pass so you get priority and unlimited trips. We didn't find this to be an issue. We did have to take the callejones (side streets with stairs) up to the hotel in the evening. We never had an issue but it could be a risky area at night, even though there are cameras and lighting. Another minor thing is that we did have to wait to get into the hotel a couple evenings as there was no one at the desk and they locked the front door. Within 15 minutes someone did eventually come. The room was large, clean, and more quiet as you were a distance from the downtown area. The views from the room were amazing, as you could see the beautiful colours of Guanajuato!

Overall this place is a pleasant place to stay with lots of benefits. The biggest benefit is having VIP access to the funicular. Rooms were kept tidy daily and staff was friendly. Location is perfect, with lots of places nearby to see and dine in.

Great views. Noise from town could be heard despite distance. Funicular passes made the location work well for us. Carrying luggage up 3 flights to get early Uber before staf arrived was toug.

Good hotel at TOP of Funicular. A bit hard to find if arriving by car. Parking is the Monumento de Pipila parking - quite inexpensive. If you like staying out later than 9pm, then get ready to walk up the funicular (not an issue for us). Bring earplugs as hotel is in a public area and can be somewhat noisy.

We really like it

The room i had only had view of half the city..and it was not the half that could see downtown

It was an incredible experience!! I would definitely stay again. Love the Funicular availability to guest, fast and friendly check-in and staff.

Everything was perfect

Very nice clean rooms but so worth it with the beautiful view!

Staff is friendly, location is great with low city noise, access is a challenge, avoid breakfast. The location is great if you want to stay away from the noise of the people and activities going on in the city and still be very close to everything. The downside is the access to the hotel, if you come from the city's downtown (which will be the case most of the time), you have to use the funicular (cable car), the hotel will give you priority passes which will help you avoid the lane. But, beware, it closes at 9:40pm and 8:40 in the weekends, so you'll have to walk your way up, and is a steep climb with very dark and lonely alleys. So if you plan to visit town at night, you'll have to Uber or climb. The easiest access for your transport to the airport will be up, at Pipila's monument, and that's another set of stairs to climb, and no bellboy, at least none available when we requested help. So be ready to climb 4 sets of stair carrying luggage. If you get to the lobby after 2pm and want coffee, you'll only find cold coffee, not one day during our 7 nights was there hot coffee available. We requested 2 extra towels on day one, and had to remind front desk until we got them at the third day. We ran out of cable TV for a couple of days and no one knew why or how to fix it, it just came back couple days later. We opted for breakfast included, and is not bad, but don't expect variaty, the same every day, chilaquiles with some protein, sweet bread and juice and cofee.

I would definitely stay again
