Leaving

As soon as I arrived, Fabricio (the owner) greeted me calling me by my name..because he knew I was arriving. Few minutes after he offered me a better room, for no change of rate. In the following days he helped me with several things, also for unexpected issues I had. The accommodation itself is in a beautiful location, rooms are very nice and rates extremely competitive. I couldn't ask for more

Internet can be a bit slow at times. The street noise might be a bit much for sensitive travellers.

The owner was us educated, very kind. Well equipped kitchen, stunning view. Large common space. Can't beat the price. It's also a common choice for cyclists and bikers.

A bit loud with the main street as well as rain on the metal roof.

Close to the city centre. English-speaking host. Well equipped kitchen

While the showers are working, it was difficult to produce hot water at times. The water did warm up, but I got the warmer water at lower power. As for the location: the location is far enough from the town to have silence at night; but, you may feel a bit of a walk. The distance is good enough not to be a burden but far enough to be mindful.

I liked the personnel in the location: their correspondence helped ensure I got to the location the fastest and safest. They also have people who can communicate in English. There is a kitchen area and they even offer avocados and a community pantry for everyone (when available). I felt my belongings were 100% safe in the hostel and entry at night was prompt. They also offer towels for rent too. And finally, the accommodation is phenomenal.

Amazing view! You can tell that the hostel put a lot of thought into the house decoration to make people feel comfortable and happy. It's a pity I've already booked a flight, otherwise I would like to stay here for more days.

All was great

Simple accommodation and camping, but the atmosphere is really nice. Fire pit, hammocks, picnic tables, kitchen and parking. Clean. Pet friendly. Fabricio is super helpful with whatever you need. Recommended.

We had a great time art this place. Fabricio, the owner is so welcoming and makes everyone at ease. It is a chill and relax place where you can meet other travellers. Nice views from the site. Room was good. Wifi was very good. We would definitely go back

Nothing. Everything was amazing!

Everything was amazing! The most friendly welcome from Fabricio after a long journey which was so pleasant. The views from the hostel are amazing, you can just sit for hours looking at the view. Rooms were super clean, as were the toilets, showers and kitchen! The kitchen was brilliant, had everything you needed and more! On one of the nights Fabrico had his family round having a bbq, he welcomed us to join and it was such a good night getting to know Fabricio and his family. He even let us on to his favourite drink which went down too well! Thank you for a fantastic time, it was just perfect!

Todos! Great place to stay in Baños. Fabricio is a wonderful host. Muchos gracias 😃

The only very small minus was the location, which was a bit far away from the city (around 20min walk)

The owner, Fabricio, was very helpful and accommodating. Furthermore, the common area outside was really nice, well-equipped and clean kitchen, very hot showers (best shower I’ve had in a hostel) and lastly located in a tranquil area of Baños, with a really great view.

Leaving!!!

You know how there are those times when you have to stop to pinch yourself and wonder how did we get so lucky to stumble on something/someone/somewhere that immediately becomes a highlight of your travels? Well this is all of the above - and more!! Our stay far exceeded our expectations thanks to the most kind, fun, and genuinely caring owner! Fabriccio (and his sweet parents)couldn't have been a better host. His exceptional level of communication before our arrival, as well as his ongoing attentiveness, and wonderful recommendations for things to do and where to go, and all around general help and interactions made our week absolutely unforgettable! Even if Banos had nothing to offer(and it couldn't have offered more fun and adventure!)we'd come back again just to see Fabriccio! :-) It is very apparent he loves what he has created for his guests. So much so it seems he can read your mind to always be one step (or many!)ahead always making sure everything goes well for you. So many little touches like an unexpected coffee, or snack, or use of a bathing cap for the hot springs, eecommrndatikn and information for the best your operator in town, and even offering a late checkout to accommodate our night bus departure! The list goes on and on. (And we saw it extended to all of his other guests too) The backdrop of the volcano, the quiet, the hot showers, convenience of shared kitchen, ease of comminicationg in English, and a perfect location were all icing on the cake! We can't wait to return! Don't hesitate to book your stay here!

Everything was perfect about this place, including the hosts

Stayed in December 2022

It's right next to a busy road, so you might wake up from traffic noises if you're a light sleeper.

The view on the volcano and the always helpful and kind owner Fabricio. He even gave me snacks and drinks without me asking for it. I booked for 3 nights but ended up staying a week.

The only con I have been issued is because my room is very close to the main road, the horn from trucks passing through early wakes me up at 5am in the morning.

great location great host and conformable bed

The host was incredible and really could not do enough for you! I was very comfortable and would recommend this place 100%

Amazing place to stay in Baños. I definitely recommend it. The owner is also amazing!

Stayed in October 2022

No complaints!

This may appear to not be in the centre but its super close, a 5 min walk and a dollar 50 in cabs if you can't be bothered but it is much preferable to locations in town because of the beautiful views and gorgeous garden. Not to mention the atmosphere, it's friendly, homely and super safe. Fabrizio is the host with the most and I loved my time here meeting some amazing people. The place to stay in Baños !

Had a great stay, the owner showed a lot of hospitality and I had a great time

Stayed in September 2022

Fabricio was super welcoming and went above and beyond, even dropping us off at the bus terminal and helping us get our tickets and secure our luggage. He also made sure our stay in Baños was memorable by providing us with Ecuadorian treats and a campfire! The place is basic but has everything you need, including a hot shower and really good WiFi, and is also very clean.

Nothing.

Fabricio treats the guests not only as guests, but also as friends! I felt so at home. Very nice atmosphere I met very nice people. Peaceful view of the mountains with outdoor space, clean bathrooms, hot water, equipped kitchen, spacious bedroom. Just 5 minutes walk away from the centre, few seconds away from the river. I would definitely stay there next time!
