Hi, I hope this will be useful to someone. I picked Baños as a place to learn spanish in Ecuador. I was attracted to it because it is a little bit smaller than Quito, and I like being able to do outdoor things (being from Colorado). This place is really excellent for learning spanish and recreating as well. I am... more

We stayed 2 nights here. It is a beautiful small hotel. It is decorated with all types of artwork and colorfully painted walls. It is owned by Americans and they were very helpful. They can help you set up bike excursions or any other activities. The food was great and they had the best breakfasts included in their room rate.... more

My family of four had a very nice stay at the Posada del Arte in Banos. We only stayed one night though we would have been quite happy to stay a few more. The included breakfast was first rate, and the staff extremely helpful. The rooms are nice, very clean and entire hotel is beautfiully decorated. The roof terrace was... more

I don´t even know where to start with all all the reasons my family and I loved La Posada del Arte. We arrived in Banos in early January and selected it because of the reviews from Trip Advisor and we had a better experience than we expected. It was an easy walk from the bus station and was in a... more

Good choice for Banos. $2 by taxi from central bus terminal, or easy 10-15 minute walk. Front rooms overlook mountainside waterfall 2 blocks away.$34 for a double including all taxes & a good breakfast. Pleasant owners & other laid back guests. Would choose it again when in Banos. Enjoyable atmosphere & very clean. more

Fabulous inn!! Jim & Marshia are welcoming hosts and Simon the dog is a charming mascot. Delicious meals prepared with local produce, original Ecuadorian artwork adorning the walls, water pitchers provided in each room, hardwood floors in guest rooms, comfy seating area by fireplace. I went mountain biking with the owners - great views from the surrounding hills... But just... more

You will not find a better place to stay in Banos. Jim was the perfect host. And the staff was fantastic. I was treated like family. The location is so close to the baths and "downtown" Banos. Comfortable beds, huge bathrooms and free bottled water waiting for you in your room. And the food! Organically grown, fresh every day and... more

We spent a week in Banos in Sept 2007 and stayed at La Posada and its sister hostal, Casa del Abuelo. Both were excellent. They are located in a nice, quiet part of town, near the iconic Banos waterfall. They both had a great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was exceptional! We moved to La Posada... more

We really loved this spot in Banos. We were a total of 4 couples, and everyone felt right at home. Rooms were clean and comfortable, great light, nice common areas. The food, especially breakfast, was awesome. Also, the owner (Jim) is an avid mountain biker and does tours for a small fee. However, please remember that despite his advancing age(60+),... more

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful, eclectic posada in heart of Banos, minutes away from the cathedral square & most restaurants, shopping, outfitting companies, internet cafes & bars. We had a good sized room with lovely garden view, own bath & hot water. Beautiful artwork throughout, most of which is for sale. Comfortable seating area with fireplace. Full service restaurant... more
