Amazing view over the old city, Equador is not the easisit city to walk around due to the elevation and steep roads, but with some careful planning we found the apartment to be in a great location for accessibility to the major attractions.

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!

We enjoyed our 5 night stay at La Posada del Arte. Although our room didn't match the Bookings description, it was comfortable and clean. Great location given its proximity to the waterfall in town (+ situated on a quiet street). Strong wifi. Hot shower. Good breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I would have liked a chair. For unclear reasons, my back has been unhappy lately and I would have liked a comfortable chair.

Excellent breakfast- very filling. The best part was that it’s at the end of town, near the falls and very near the termales. One can just walk on over very easily and jump right into that wonderful water. Also, despite what one has been hearing about the security in Ecuador lately, there wasn’t even a hint of any of that. The town felt very safe and easy to walk around in the evening.

The staff and the owners were super friendly, kind and very useful for anything we needed Breakfast was really really good 👍 The hotel was decorated with real artists paintings and sculptures.

This isn’t so much the property but Banos has a power outrage from 2-4 each day or they did when we were there. Not sure if this is regular but if it is there is no power or wifi and not good service for a couple hours.

The property was in a very good location. It is very clean and the people are exceptionally nice. I had a very cozy , cute room and I love the art all over the walls in the hallways. The view from my room you couldn’t beat. The balcony was shared but I had one right in front of my window and enjoyed the view each day. The vibe of Banos was very appealing to me. I felt very welcome here. People ask about hot water, there is plenty and the water pressure is kinda low at times but I didn’t run out of hot water. I loved this place.

This was such a great location off the main drag of Baños. Some rooms have waterfall views. Karl and Priscilla were wonderful hosts.

The cleaning products in the bathroom have an intense scent - common in Ecuador, unfortunately. Easy to fix: I left the bathroom windows open & closed the door to the bathroom.

The owner was very welcoming, speaking to me in both Spanish and English. She let me check in early and made me very comfortable. People were around all day in the kitchen, at the front desk, and so on to answer questions and assist. It is perfectly located on the edge of town, easy walking distance to everything. I ended up spending more time at the hotel than I expected because the courtyard is so lovely. I took pictures of sculptures and other art -- they have a pretty setup. Excellent food. Filtered water is available from the kitchen. If you're a cyclist, talk to Karl! I noticed his Trek bike and his wife encouraged me to talk to him about biking in Ecuador. I definitely will speak to him if I come back with my touring bike!

Charming. Excellent breakfasts. Great hosts. Perfect location. It had it all!

Only (minor) thing is that it’s a bit of a walk from the bus station (15/20 mins). Although it is nice to be away from the main busy area too. Depends what you like!

Very cute hotel, full to the brim with art on every wall with a couple of friendly resident dogs too. Beautiful patio and garden area and some rooms have a view of the nearby waterfall. The husband and wife team were very caring and helpful when I fell ill so I really appreciated their support. Not all places would be like that.

Nothing. It was all superb!

Loved La Posada Del Arte. Location on a quiet street just outside the busy center town was perfect. Easy walking distance to everything. The entire ambiance of the hostal, both public spaces and rooms, is bright, open, colorful, and tastefully decorated. Carl and Priscilla are fabulous hosts and their staff are great. Each of the breakfast choices, all made-to-order, are fabulous. I would definitely stay here again!

My first trip to Baños. The hotel was great with breakfast included. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend La Pasada Del Arte.

I want to be able to give this place a 10 and I feel like it's so close. Just needs a bit of updating with respect to room facilities. The bathroom tiles are cracked, the private balcony was actually a public balcony accessed from the hallway, and the single and double bed configuration made the room a bit awkwardly laid out. A bedside table, a mirror in the main room area, and a couple more charging ports might help, as would some amenities like shampoo and hooks to hang wet items. Also, the rooms on the third floor get really loud if it's rainy or windy since the tin roof is very noisy.

Beautiful setting right by the waterfall. Great view from our room. The hotel is like a museum or gallery, with local art all over the walls. We were warmly greeted by the owners who were so helpful for our whole stay. Bathing caps provided if you want to visit the local thermal baths. A close walk to the centre of town but set back on a quiet street. Breakfast was delicious and served in the lovely garden. Really enjoyed our stay!

Nothing to note

Right in the heart of Banos, the hotel was very charming, and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was included, and it was so yummy, including both seasonal fruit and an entree of your choosing. My room had a balcony and looked out at the waterfall. Solid wifi that allowed me to take some work calls.

Nothing at all. I bought a few bottles of wine for my 3 hour bus ride back to Quito and forgot to have the bottles opened at the hotel as we didn't have an opener. My bad :-( The hotel did hook us up with ice to keep the wine chilled.

Staff is very accommodating and friendly. I love the two resident dogs. We had a late arrival and a staff member reached out to our party of 12 to see if we wanted to have dinner prepped ahead of time so that when we arrived we could eat a hot meal at the hotel.

The staff is increadibly nice and cared for me when I was sick. The rooms are nice and big and the beds are very comfortable. All rooms get cleaned every day and during my stay everything was spotless.

Awesome location, walking distance to everything and only 2 min walk from the thermal baths. The staff are amazing and the food was fantastic - best potato soup we had in all of Ecuador. The breakfast included is delicious. Staff was super helpful and the tour company they recommended was great.

The room needs more fresh air. Hope there are screens in all the windows so we can keep them open when it is stuffy and humid inside.

People working here are nice and helpful. The breakfast is excellent. Feel safe and confiable.
