Offering a restaurant, La Posada del Arte is located in Baños, just 900 metres from the town’s main transport terminal. It boasts an on-site tour desk and a shared terrace with hammocks.

With free WiFi, the rooms here feature a safety-deposit box, a wardrobe and a private bathroom with free toiletries. Some have views of the mountains.

The hostel is located right next to the waterfall and thermal baths at the edge of town, which is nice and quiet. It’s only about a 15min walk from the bus station, and less than that to get to all the restaurants, bars, and shops. The staff are nice and helped us plan our time in Banos, including recommending an agency that could rent us good quality bikes for the waterfall route. We also enjoyed our breakfast. Wish we could have stayed longer!

    Everything! Great view. Lovely courtyard. Thematic decorative touches. Comfortable room. Friendly and helpful owner and staff. Very good information on tours and very good services. (They let me use the kitchen so I could cook diabetic friendly suppers and use the fridge. Very accommodating of them and very much appreciated.)

    It's such a cozy spot that makes you feel like you're in a hobbit movie. It's like a tree house meets a fairy's home. It was a tranquil location with access to nature on a large balcony. Loved the detail and heart put into the design. The hosts were friendly and gracious. We loved the view of a waterfall and close proximity to several more. We will definitely be bringing our family back.

    The owners were incredibly friendly, spoke great English, and the food was really fresh and tasty. Wonderful art was everywhere! I loved the hammock in our room (and a fireplace was ther too but we didn't use it). The in-massage I received at their in-house spa was phenomenal. The place is outside of Banos, in a tiny village. It is an easy walk to the gorgeous Diablo waterfall and the village doesn't feel as touristy as Banos itself. There is a river running outside of the hotel, which was lovely to fall asleep to.

    The breakfast was the best we had in Ecuador. Lots of fresh fruit yogurt and juice and homemade goodies. And we had a room with a balcony with a lovely view where we could just chill. Nothing was too much trouble for our host.

    The location and architecture is stunning. The room is reminiscent of lodges in Africa, generous in size and beautiful colours. Thanks to lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Great meals and lovely dogs.

    Lovely cabin, well equipped (Wi-Fi, TV and hot shower) and sparkling clean. Wonderful location, very helpful host was kind enough to explain where the local market, supermarket and hot springs are located. Amazing mountain view. Well designed and decorated. Big parking space. One of the best places we have stayed in Ecuador.

    Stunning view, extremely clean, most comfortable bed I’ve slept on in my travels this year and best hot, powerful shower I’ve had too, really good value laundry, Incredible value place to stay all round considering it’s more like an upmarket hotel than hostel. Lovely staff too.
