We had a spacious room with a balcony and a view of the waterfall. We slept great every night with the sound of the waterfall. We also enjoyed the rooftop where we could make meals after breakfast time and sit outside and enjoy the beauty of Baños. We would definitely stay again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff were very friendly, and very helpful. There were unfortunately some troubles in Ecuador while I was here, and they were very helpful in making sure I would be able to get to the airport safely. Additionally, the activities that can be booked from the hostel were a lot of fun, and the location of the hostel is ideal. The breakfasts sold at the hostel are very tasty and good value.

    After 7 months of travelling, this is one of the best hostels I have stayed at. Has all the things a backpacker wished for. Cheap, great kitchen facilities, towel included, good wifi! People are also awesome. Owner of hostel also owns one of the tour companies in town, so the discounts here are crazy. When I got sick they gave me a private room even though I was paying for a dorm. So nice
