The 22 best pet-friendly places and activities in Banos

Beautiful small hotel in central Baños right next to the Thermal Waters. The hotel smells amazing and is really nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is no elevator but they moved all of our luggage to the third floor for us. The room was simple but nice. The TV had terrible reception but we only watched it before bed. The breakfast buffet was wonderful.

This is a nice hotel in Baños, a lovely town - we wished we would have had more time to look around it. There is a stunning waterfall outside the hotel - at night it is lit up beautifully. The meal we got at the hotel restaurant was very delicious, especially the chocolate dessert. The restaurant itself had a fun "Alice in Wonderland" theme. Our room was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we didn't have time to use the pools or the spa.

Had a wonderful stay here while visiting Baños. Right away, there is a beautiful waterfall right across from the hotel entrance. The service is top notch 5 star. Both restaurants are delicious, as is the breakfast buffet. I also had a massage with Fernanda and it was amazing. I would highly recommend a visit.

I visited the hotel with my wife. Reservations were made via WhatsApp. Marlon helped us with that. The decorations were nice. There was some humidity on our bedroom wall. The SPA was great. The three course diner was awesome. The breakfast was good. Just take care of some small humidity on the bedroom walls. We will definitely visit you guys again.

I've stayed at Sangay since the early 80's, always amazing, incredible food and great service. Rooms are spacious and clean. It does get cold at night, requesting an extra blanket is recommended.

We stayed here 08/30/25. This hotel is definitely a bang for your buck. It might seem like you can get a place for cheaper at one of the “hospedajes” but unless you’re a backpacker and willing to rough it out I would definitely recommend spending the money here.

Great hotel close to the town staff really helpful rooms were nice although our bathroom was very small Breakfast was nice and we had an early morning pick up they gave us boxed breakfast to take with us

More than disappointing experience in this hotel! we arrive with our reservation but we are told that there is no more room! We were offered a dormitory after insisting otherwise they would have just asked us to leave. the staff is nice but incompetent, they just have to chat with each other at the back of the office and take 30 minutes to respond to you. the night was terrible with people shouting and playing loud music.. the next day we asked to book one more night but in a private room. they say yes but you have to wait until 3 p.m. to be able to change. at 2:30 p.m. we asked if the room was ready and we were told no even though it was ready so we waited 30 minutes. the room is quite nice but no hot water for 40 dollars a night it's not great. Bar staff are friendly but not helpful not professional. in short, A disappointment for the price

The location is perfect, as you are practically overlooking the church. It is a very modern space with hostel style rooms and lockers for your things as needed. The only issue we had was that after 10pm, there is really no where to hang out as a group with other guests, as they close the restaurant area and do not let you chill in the lobby lounge area.

Loves this hotel. Had the coolest rooftop with great included breakfast. The location is central- however, don’t stay here if you want relaxation and a full 8 hours of sleep. A band would start playing around 530 AM sometimes and even late at night. I think it had something to do with the church. We had to sleep with the balcony door open since there was no fans or AC unit and it was pretty hot while we were there. We only stayed for two nights and everything was walkable, which was great. I only wish we could’ve gotten better sleep. The staff was fantastic and so kind. There was even a note saying when the scheduled power outages were (2-7 pm) which other hotels didn’t notify us of. 8/10 recommend!

The overall experience at this hostel was disappointing. The reception was poorly managed, with staff showing a lack of interest in assisting guests. The available tours were limited and overpriced, offering little value. Service at the rooftop was mixed—while William was an absolute pleasure to interact with, the girl serving upstairs displayed a notably poor attitude toward guests. This contrast in service was striking. The hostel itself felt lifeless, with very few guests and no real atmosphere. Additionally, the kitchen’s filtered water supply was constantly empty, which was inconvenient. That said, the private room was a redeeming feature—quiet and located conveniently across from the church. It provided a peaceful retreat despite the shortcomings elsewhere. Rating: ⭐️ for the private room ⭐️ for William

Don't bother. I've been told they sold the place so nobody cares. The place is a ghost town. I had no hot water. I asked reception but they didnt care. They said its fine in the kitchen. No help. Didn't get much more than a couple of sheets to sleep with at night. Outside noise at night can be annoying. I can see why nobody is staying here. Stay anywhere else. The great hostel around the corner is much nicer.

The Selina in Baños is very average hostel but much more expensive than other options in town. The room was nice but not clean enough. The main problem was we didn’t have electricity for many hours during our stay, it is due to the government restrictions and obviously not the place fault, but they did not inform us about the schedule so we can plan our days accordingly, and didn’t provide us any solutions, not even a candle or a lamp so we wouldn’t seat in the dark in our hostel. At the time the electricity went off we didn’t have water (it caught me in the middle of a shower 🤦🏼‍♀️), and the restaurant didn’t work. Not to mention that many other restaurants and hostels have a generator and can work regularly. It is not the service I would expect from a hostel in this level.

We had a really nice experience here. The food was amazing (spring rolls with shrimps, pasta pesto, sandwich and chili fries)), the cocktails were really good as well! The service was great, the people were very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend coming here. After ordering the drinks and food we were able to play a game of pool, which was really fun!

The rooms were cosy but the bathrooms needed work. Leaks were reported but no one cared. Around the pool and the roof had mole and the smell was unpleasant. I preferred to stay in my room and watch movies during my stay.

Let me start by saying if there was an award for the creepiest water slide on the planet this hotel would win 1st place! Anyway the hotel was in a perfect location for us . It was close to downtown but far enough away that we didn't have all of the noise and chaos of downtown. The rooms are very outdated but very clean. The grounds could use some maintenance but the views are amazing. Breakfast was included and very good. It wasn't the best hotel I ever stayed in but it was a decent place.

This place has all the amenities! Multiple pools and hot tubs, athletic fields, game room, friendly staff, and a quick 10 minute walk to town (or $1.50 cab ride). This place is old and somewhat past it’s prime. But, my kids loved it. We had the 2 story room and the kids loved having the spiral staircase up to their room. We’d stay here again if we came back to Banos.

This hotel was sufficient. They were able to provide a cabin for a large family. There is a swimming pool and a restaurant where we ate breakfast. Unfortunately the cabin often smelled very badly (typically after flushing) the water slide was not functioning, and other parts of the pool area didn't seem to be working. There is no wifi in the rooms. If you just need a place to stay then it will work. But it wasn't an overly comfortable stay.

First, it looks nothing like the pictures. Second, it was impossible to sleep some rats or other animals were walking and scratching between the walls and the roof. Tried to contact the reception during the night but got no answer. They still made me pay the whole 75$ for the night. Breakfast was good.

Fun and Beautiful! I love this place and it's feel and location. Baños is beautiful and Casa Giralda made my trip even better. It's close to town but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. The view is great and the people are friendly.

All of the facilities claimed are in need of some restoration which was true of our room too. Perfectly functional but looking a bit old and battered, the disused giant snake slide into the outdoor pool is an indication of a hotel that knows it is past its best. None the less a very pleasant stay with charming staff and exciting activities in baños.

Nice and clean place. Location is good - close to town Center. Parking was good even though it was a little difficult access. WiFi could be better inside the room.

This hotel is owned by a nice family and try to be helpful. No one speaks English so you have to bring prepared. Price is too high and better options can be found and much cheaper in the area. Breakfast is also on a very low end and you can do much better.

It was a beautiful hotel. The woman there weren't incredibly nace. The hotel was on a buscar road so it got ver noisy, but the place it worth it!

Good hotel with restaurant and other facility.good for parking and dining.rooms are clean and hotel environment is plesants.dome rooms are good view.they also offer you b&b as well as they have mid day lunch.

An excellent hotel and great value, nice big rooms with a great view. Good breakfast included. Highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed for 2 days at this hotel, it was a nice experience, only 2 things I want to mention why I gave 4 stars, they have only one hair dryer for the whole hotel, I had to wait when it will be free and they don't have any heater, but they can give you a blanket

Nice location near main square in Baños, clean, comfortable, hot water and attentive staff.

Amazing hotel, family owned. Really cosy and comfortable. We had great view on the garden from the room and a chimney to warm up at night. The breakfast is included and is so tasty. The hotel is located right next to the hot springs. Very good choice for holidays, both single or as family. Highly recommended.

We had the pleasure of staying at La Posada del Arte for three nights in mid-August during our family trip to Ecuador. Our group included an 8-year-old and parents in their 90s, so finding accommodations that could suit a wide range of needs was important — and this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. We booked our stay about a month in advance and drove down from Quito. We were happy to find ample street parking available directly outside the hotel at all hours of the day. From the moment we arrived, Carl, his wife, and staff greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality. They quickly got us settled and were incredibly accommodating when we needed to switch one of the rooms due to mobility concerns for one of our elderly parents. Their thoughtful assistance made all the difference in making our stay comfortable and stress-free. The grounds and rooms were exceptionally clean and well-maintained. We especially loved the rooms on the second floor, which offered a spectacular view of a nearby waterfall — beautifully lit at night, creating a magical atmosphere. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised by the strong water pressure in the showers — something that had been lacking in other places we stayed in Ecuador. The location of La Posada del Arte couldn’t be better. It's just a short walk to many of Baños’ charming restaurants, cafés, and local shops, yet it still feels peaceful and tucked away from the busier parts of town. One of the highlights of our stay was the wonderful breakfast served each morning. There were several delicious à la carte options to choose from, and everything was fresh, hearty, and filling — the perfect way to start a day of exploring. This was our first time in Baños, and staying at La Posada del Arte made it even more memorable. Whether you’re traveling with young kids, older adults, or anyone in between, this place offers comfort, convenience, and heartfelt hospitality. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

From the night we checked in until the afternoon we checked our, our stay here was nothing short of perfect. Our first night we arrived later in the evening and we were greeted by Priscilla, the owner who got us all set up and showed us around the property. Since it was late and our first time in Baños, we decided to have dinner right at the property for convenience, but it ended up being another great choice. Our meals were prepared fresh and were exactly what we needed after a day of travel. Our room was spacious with a comfortable bed and a fireplace which we unfortunately didn't end up getting to use. From our room we had a view of the waterfall and were able to fall asleep to the sounds of it each night. The included breakfast was excellent each morning and was an easy way to start our day. Everything in town was a close walk of only a few minutes and was in a great location for anything you may want to do. Karl, the other owner was a life-saver and was able to arrange a last minute ride for us to Quito when our Uber driver bailed on us. If we're fortunate enough to make it back to Baños, there's no question about where we'll be staying.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Posada Del Arte. The location was central and an easy walk to downtown attractions. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view. The food was delicious, especially the huevos rancheros. But what made our stay truly special and heartfelt was the personal and individualized service from the owners and staff. They made us feel truly special and went well above our expectations for our stay. This level of care and service, without being overbearing, is regretfully becoming a lost art and it is so much appreciated when found and experienced. We had a lovely stay!

While Karl, the owner, is very kind and welcoming, and we enjoyed our stay overall, there are areas for improvement, especially at this price point. We selected this property based on the photos on booking(dot)com, but all the rooms that were available looked differently. Some specific issues include: *High humidity in the room, likely due to NO ventilation in the bathroom, causing moisture to spread. *Only two power outlets in the room, which made it difficult to charge all phones and cameras after a full day. *Limited amenities: no kettle, coffee machine, or hairdryer provided (hairdryer can be requested) On a positive side: *Attractive and well-maintained decor. *Good quality breakfast. *Convenient location. *Clean and tidy throughout.

Great hotel, can’t say enough good things, the staff were amazing. Priscilla and Karl were great hosts, they were very accommodating to our needs and went out of their way to make our stay special. The rooms are very homey, the place is very clean and has everything you can need. It also overlooks the virgin waterfall.

Of 10 different places I stayed in Ecuador, this was my favorite. The waterfall view, peaceful energy and great breakfasts were all big pluses. Everything in town was very walkable, yet located off the main street their location is quiet.

Very nice place with a view of the vulcano. The people working there (including Luna the dog) are are really kind and made us feel at home. Very good room and nice breakfast.

Stayed here for a couple days while in Baños. It is clean and comfortable with good internet access. It’s about a 15 minute walk from the city center, but to have the extra space, beautiful grounds and extra parking was worth it. Continental breakfast was provided in the morning with the hotel fare. Our host was very gracious and she made some very tasty bread to go with our coffee. 😋

This was a good choice. The people there were very nice and the view was beautiful. The room was very clean, we were impressed with the cleaning and how nice everything was. Nothing was old and outdated. We got the lovers suite a week after Valentine's day. The dogs there were nice and we thought the included breakfast was wonderful. There seemed to be a lot of travelers there from different parts of the world as we are breakfast. We will probably return when we visit again.

We stayed at Inti Luna for two weeks while in Banõs. It was a great place for us to relax and an easy walk into town (10-12 mins)! Blanca & Julio were exceptional hosts who did everything to make our stay comfortable! They were great to talk to and practice our Spanish with! Breakfast was easy, traditional and tasty every day! If you wanted something off their afternoon menu they were happy to accommodate, their pizza was my favorite as the crust was much like a sourdough crust! The rooms were clean, comfortable and the water was hot (which was so nice for me)! Our pictures aren’t the best but will include for reference of the rooms! Thank you for the stay, we would absolutely stay again when we come back to Banõs!

One day before Christmas and we are the only family here. This is my first time to stay here, but would definitely come back. Beautiful view of the Andes! Pet friendly, so our dogs enjoyed it as well.

Great breakfast included and superb service from one of the nicest ladies whose on site 24/7! Beds were very comfy and rooms were clean! Extremely welcoming and kind towards me and my family! Would recommend and use again!

This place is beautiful. A little out of the city (10 minute walk), but totally worth mountain views and tranquility. Rooms are clean and rustic, and the staff is super friendly. Very close to el salado hot spring too!

We had booked 3 nights but changed hotels after the first sleepless night. The hotel is good compared to Bano's standards, pretty and clean. We had a spacious superior room unfortunately a bit worn out, e.g., the mattresses were of varying quality and age. The typical simple windows and fly screens make everything very noisy, and noise from outside is not blocked out at all. During the day, you will be constantly bombarded with music and artificial animal noises from the nearby theme park until 10 p.m. Dogs bark all the time at night and from 6:30 a.m. the school directly behind the hotel turns up the music in the yard to full volume in addition to the usual noises of a school. The noise is nothing the hotel can do anything about, but we need to sleep and recharge. Otherwise the staff makes an effort and is friendly. Unfortunately, they were understaffed at breakfast when we visited and had a bit of trouble keeping up with the rush. We also had a problem with the design of the shower in our bathroom, which was in the bathtub, but without a shower cubicle. As a result, the bathroom was completely flooded with every shower. all of our things were wet. The staff told us no one had reported this before - unbelievable. We also found it a big problem dealing with the room keys, which were collected in a small box on the reception desk, accessible to everyone and not under observation of the staff. There is no safe in the room, and no liability is assumed... we find it difficult. All in all nice, but with no-gos from our pov. We would not come back. *** Follow up to the response of the hotel below 5 days after we published this review: the hotel argued that I have spoken to the management about the noise - this is not true. The hotel also argued that they have made recommendations towards us about alternative accommodations that suit our needs, and this is also not true. We never claimed the noise issue since it is nothing the hotel can change. I also didn't know the hotel "perfectly" from 2 nights in 2019. Obviously, the surrounding of the hotel had changed. I kindly asked the hotel directly to stick to the truth when responding to customer feedback since this corresponds with respect for each other, but sadly, they didn't even answer.

Great location. Staff is very nice and helpful. The hotel looks great, nice decoration and style. Good size room. Good breakfast. The only downside: for the price and since it is advertised everywhere including their name, we were surprised upon arrival to learn that the spa services (massage, hot tub..) weren't available on weekdays.

Homey place to sleep with GREAT service. We arrived late and were received warmly by Fabian who gave us a place to park our car inside closed gates. He also gave us very good recommendations of activities and places to visit in the town. Clean and tidy with a great breakfast. Very grateful for our stay here :)

I was sick when I arrived (had a bad allergic reaction from a meal elsewhere) and the woman running the place took great care of me, bringing me tea in bed and ensuring my allergies were respected when I had breakfast the next day. A cute location, great people!

One word amazing! Had a horrible night at another place and came here Susie took care of us breakfast was spectacular bedroom phenomenal View awesome and price was very reasonable. Don't forget the saunas and the spa they were fully relaxing. 100 out of 100 .

It is very beautiful and clean an many small touches that make it cozy. But for the price on your breakfast buffet Bacon and potatoes are the standard and the dinner buffet should be better then fried chicken filets. The food options very disappointing for the exorbitant price. That being said the hosts and staff are very nice and accommodating but they could not get the fire place going.

So many places to choose from in Banos and I hit the jackpot with this place. It's away from the downtown area so it's quiet at night, the decor is outstanding and it's located right beside a great hike up the mountain. The staff are incredible too. If you go, make sure you take advantage of the steam bath. I loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hostel! If you're looking for a hostel that is a little more relaxed, then this is the place for you. The breakfasts were slightly different every day as well as delicious and inexpensive. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. The wifi worked well. The excursions provided through the hostel were fantastic. They were run directly by locals rather than the pricey travel agencies in town. Highly recommend doing the rafting and canyoning excursions.

The most beautiful hostel I've ever been to. The dorm room is spacious, the beds are amazing and I loved the duvets. The outside and upstairs common areas are really nicely done. Hammocks and lots of room to sit. The atmosphere is amazingly calm and the street is super safe. Plus you can hike up the god stairs right outside the hostel. It is located perfectly. You walk down one street which takes like 2 minutes and then you're in the center. Which is nice cause at night when you don't want the trouble anymore, you will have calmness and just singing birds. Everything gets cleaned everyday and there is a hot working shower. Nice big bathrooms too. The breakfast is amazing and a loooot, so you will definitely be stuffed. The staff is just amazingly nice, I loved them and it felt like a home with two moms. Definitely stay here when you're in baños. Oh and this hostel is completely powered by reusable energies!

So friendly staff. They even organise all kinds of tours for you at better prices than other companies! They provide towels, water, bathing cap... All activities were as well all very fun and well organized. Definitely recommend the waterfall tour by bike and rafting l. Ooh yeah great breakfast (one of the best in South-America) Rooms were nice and got cleaned daily. Laundry a bit expensive, recommend doing that in the city.

Very much our favourite hostel. Not only are the rooms pretty, the bathrooms very clean and the common area nice to hang out - but also the people working there are such lovely personalities. They make you feel welcome and help you out with every question or need. We regretted from the moment we left, not staying longer. 100% recommend!

Very clean, beautiful hostel. Best breakfast I've ever had in a hostel. It is located a bit outside of the town center (10 min max walking) so it's nice and quiet during the night. Very attentive hostess. :)

A relaxed stay at a lovely small hostel that I would be happy to return to. I have to give a huge shoutout to Joanna who absolutely makes the place - she works so hard, from breakfast to cleaning to answering our never ending questions about activities and taxis and even barbers. She cares for the guests nearly as much as her sweet children, she is a beautiful person and deserves a tonne of recognition. As for the house, just 10-15 mins walk from the centre of Baños, it’s easy to get to everything while being in a quiet area for good sleep. The garden is lovely for hanging out in a hammock and socialising with the other guests. The private bedroom I had was spacious and comfortable, and I could have it cleaned every day if I wanted. The bathrooms are kept very clean, though they could do with another one or at least one separate toilet for when the house is full - they feel big enough to be able to split them into two. Breakfast is nice, varied and a filling start to the day. I did find that it got quite loud at times - noise travels easily because it’s a small building and the layout is very open, eg the front door to the garden is kept open all the time and they don’t have a door to shut the kitchen & dining area away. As someone sensitive to noise, I had to hide away in my room a bit to have some space, I don’t think I would’ve managed in the dorm room being right next to the garden. But having other guests in an intimate place like that also made for a fun and sociable few days which I’m grateful for, and overall it was the best hostel during my time in Ecuador.

The staff is super friendly and fun. Helped us book some ziplining and rafting tours. The room is comfortable. The bathroom is exceptionally clean. Breakfast was yummy, but a bit pricey. Also, I was sad, as there was no German bread (as has been mentioned in some reviews). Still a lovely place!

Room is very comfortable, we booked the two beds with a balcony. The owner is tremendous helping with great knowledge. He is willing to help with any thing you can dream of. The atmosphere in the hotel and a very calm and friendly.

Great stay at Hostal Casa Real Spa! The staff were very friendly and the owner Luis was so friendly. The room are spascious and the beds comfy. Location in Banos was perfect. The breakfast was very good and the views from the hotel very nice. Would definitely recommend to stay here!

Great hotel, clean and friendly staff. Good breakfast with a view. Very helpful in booking tours

It was a wonderful and relaxing stay. The owners are amiable, and the breakfast was excellent, with various options. The room was as advertised and, of course, clean. The location is excellent and secure. The best part is that the hotel is pet friendly, and you get to interact with such friendly pets.

What a amazing place and great staff. So helpful and enjoyed the facilities so much and even a yoga space. Great rooms and clean. You could chill out in your own hammock. Breakfast was really nice and so helpful here. By far one of the best places I have stayed in so far in South America. A must stay if in Banos

Comfortable stay with a great host, Luis, who can help you with tour ideas and even booking the reservations. Located on the edge of town, it's quiet, but still close enough to readily walk to anywhere.

Couldn’t have felt more welcomed by Luis! He was a wonderful host and helped us arrange transportation and a great waterfall tour. The hostel is located conveniently next to the hot springs and has a wonderful view of the waterfall.

Awesome place to stay. Great service, good breakfast, reasonably priced, friendly people. Poor wifi at times.

Great price good location room was a bit dated in bed uncomfortable I got up early at 6 AM decided to go for a cup of coffee and found out the gate was locked and I could not get off the property I absolutely did not like being locked in when it was totally daylight at 6 AM I felt trapped

They have some adopted dogs also. If someone is alergetic, please be cautious...

Awesome little hotel spread in a beautiful garden

Very nice place

Super

Fantastic

Had the opportunity to stay here and at d'mathias next door. The bed is decent, you get two large pillows, the room is a bit bigger and the bathroom is a little better. But what you gain with a bit of comfort you pay in customer service. These people are awful. Every time I had to talk with them it was as if I was bothering them. It took 30 hours for them to clean my laundry and it was half folded. There was trash in the hallway. It appears that they only have 1 housekeeper while everyone else sits near the desk with their feet up. The kitchen was pretty dank and I never used it, because of its cleanliness. Not impressed.

Pros: lovely and helpful staff (specially Miria, who I guess is the owner) and they have a sweet beautiful siberian husky called Max. The hostal is located right across the street from the bus terminal, every room has private shower, has a good kitchen, the room and beds are fine, offers you tours. Cons: showers will not stay warm for long if other people are having shower at the same time, almost non-existing wifi (although they were trying to fix it), do not look under the beds (they are not clean at all).

Rooms are small, beds are not so comfortable, service is not so nice. Internt is weak. The kitchen is well equipped. The location is ok, but its such a small town so its that important.

(Translated by Google) I booked two nights in a private room for some friends for €30 a night (she wrote it down in her notebook). The next day when they arrived, they raised the price for one of the nights because it was New Year's Eve. The owner lied to me, and I feel offended. (Original) Reserve 2 noches en una habitacion privada para unas amigas por 30€ la noche (lo anotó en su cuaderno). El siguiente día cuando llegaron les subieron el precio de una de las noches por ser noche vieja. La dueña me mintió,me siento ofendido

(Translated by Google) I stayed for one night; the price was relatively good for the area. The rooms are small, and the towels were quite worn. Something important to keep in mind is that since it's downtown, there's a lot of noise at night from the passing of bus buses and other activities in the area. I went by car, and I was charged separately for parking (which is a bit far away). For an additional fee, you can have breakfast prepared, which was good. (Original) Me hospede por una noche, el precio esta relativamente bien por el sector en el que esta ubicado. Las habitaciones son pequeñas y las toallas ya bastante usadas. Algo importante a tener en cuenta es que al estar en el centro hay mucho ruido en la noche por el paso de las chivas y demás cosas del sector. Fui en auto y el parqueadero (que esta un poco lejos) me cobraron por separado. Por un costo adicional, puedes pedir que te preparen el desayuno y estuvo bien.

(Translated by Google) Unpleasant experience, poor security. I lost a pair of $250 headphones at their hotel, and their response was that they wouldn't be responsible for items lost in the room, which is why we have to bring our belongings. It's worth noting that I was going on a jungle tour and didn't bring them for the same reason: that they might get lost, since they're quite small. You're supposed to pay a hotel to leave your belongings safe and secure without fear of them getting lost or stolen. (The only ones who have keys are them and the guests, and we didn't lose them.) Another thing worth noting is that they don't clean the rooms. We were there for two days and one night, and at no point did they change our towels or provide us with toiletries. (Original) Experiencia desagradable, poca seguridad se me perdieron unos auriculares de $250 en su hotel y su respuesta fue que no se harían responsables de los objetos que se pierdan en la habitación que por eso debemos de llevarnos nuestras pertenencias, cabe recalcar que yo iba a un tour a la selva y no me los llevé por la misma razón, que se me pierdan, ya que es un objeto bastante pequeño. Se supone que uno paga un hotel para dejar sus pertenencias seguras y sin el miedo de que se pierdan o se las roben. (Los únicos que tienen llaves son ellos y los inquilinos y a nosotros no se nos perdieron). Otra cosa a destacar es que no hacen limpieza a la habitaciones, estuvimos 2 días y una noche y en ningún momento nos cambiaron las toallas o nos dieron suministro de higiene personal.

(Translated by Google) It's a nice place close to everything, it has the option of tourist packages, the shower could be better, it regulates the water better, everything is very nice from there (Original) Es un lindo lugar cerca de todo tiene opción a paquetes turísticos la ducha podría mejorar que regule mejor el agua de ahí es muy lindo todo

Such an incredible place for an unbeatable price, but what makes this place stand out is the exceptional staff. Michelle, the receptionist, is great at scheduling every activity for you no matter how last minute. Highly recommend and will come back!

We stayed in a 6 man dorm room. Unfortunately the room was v uncomfortable. It was incredibly small for 6 people, no room to move. Only 4 lockers were useable. My top bunk had no ladder and was not an easy climb. The room also had two walls of windows looking out onto the square, very noisy and bright. We only stayed one night before moving. The rooftop bar is nice but is also open to the public so the vibe wasn't really social hostel. Staff were good though and let us cancel.

That kind of a price, for a room with an own bathroom, breakfast included and an amazing service from Michelle, is amazing. She books every activity for you and also the rooftop bar is so chill and cool! I am definitely recommending going into this Hostel!

When we arrived, we were given a different room than we booked. We had to make do with what we had until the next day. Facilities were fine, nothing was spotless, but it wasn’t gross either. The rooftop bar was adorable, my friends and I had a great evening hanging out there. Location is also great, just a few minutes away from where everything’s happening!

Had a great time at this hostel! Super social vibe, fun salsa and bachata classes, and a rooftop bar with professional bartenders. Big thanks to the amazing Michelle who was super helpful and organized great bar crawls around town. Highly recommend if you’re staying in Baños!

This is a great hostel to stay its located in the center, the rooms are nice and clean, with the breakfest included its really worth the money. Its nice if you like to party aswell because you can play cards on the rooftop. When I left I forgot my earbuds one of the lovely ladies that worked there helped me with getting them back to me even when I left to Quito already thats what I call service!!

One my favourite hostels!! All the staff are so friendly and helpful especially Mishell, and the bartenders Tony and Miguel are so chatty and fun to speak to. They even let us choose songs to put on the speaker :)) They have good food and drinks and comfy beds and it's in a great location in the middle the town.

Nice place. Basic but does the job and close to the bus station.

They have all the tours set up with guides... And rooms are comfortable

Nice Price/Quality balance, I recommend it as your designed place, you will enjoy it as I did!

To pricy, and in spite of the fact they were empty, they wouldnt budge on the price

Good for the price. Noisy a bit

Clean place fair prices, very low water pressure but it's really not a deal breaker . I would go again.

Close to buses, clean, rooftop patio, secure parking, good value, a bit noisy at times but ok

Probably the best view in the city of Baños, Ecuador – absolutely breathtaking. The owner pays attention to every detail and is always available to help, even with general tourist information not related to the hotel. He is a respectful, kind, and very helpful man. The place is unique, the service is excellent, attentive, and fast.

It was a very nice experience! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room is well equipped and clean. Breakfast had very nice portions.

Deluxe Volcán was a dream experience from the welcoming with a drink, the location and majestic views, outstanding customer service, the quality of finishes in the room, comfort and details this was a definite 5 star experience. I can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend it!

The hotel room was beautiful and the service was superb. You have a clear view of the Tungurahua volcano. The manager was very helpful and answered all of the questions we had and helped us coordinate transportation. The hotel is up the mountain so it's not in the center of Baños, but if you want a magnificent view the distance is worth it. I would definitely return to Deluxe Volcan for another visit.

The manager/owner is super welcoming and nice. They help you with your bags to the room, show you around and make you comfortable. The rooms are beautiful and have a view to die for. The location is spectacular but well away from city and difficult to get in and out of, so know if you want to come and go it is a process. There is a perfect jacuzzi that overlooks Banos in your room. The place is a five out of five other than a few minor fixes they could implement quickly. One they need to stock more toilet paper in the rooms, no one likes to ask. The power kept going off at night which would turn on two flood lights directly pointed at the bed and wake you up and it was tough to get the jacuzzi water hot enough to make it a jacuzzi. Privacy is a bit of a concern as we could see in our neighbors if we opened our door. All in I highly recommend Deluxe Vulcan as a place to stay for a beautiful view.

We really enjoyed our stay, very beautiful place, very good services and it an amazing experience.

Amazing experience and stay! The view is absolutely stunning from the room. This was our last night in Ecuador and what an amazing way to end the trip! The service was top notch with the staff checking in on us for anything we needed, helping us coordinate meals and taxis. Truly amazing and relaxing stay in banos. Can’t wait to return!! 😍

Very friendly and helpful staff. My wife and I stayed here with our three children. The staff welcomed us immediately and helped us get our luggage to our room. They offered to help coordinate transportation and plan activities. The hotel is close to down town (10 minute walk that is safe to do even at night) without having to be close to any of the bars or clubs. A perfect place for families traveling with children. Thank you!!!!

Super nice stuff in the hotel, I like it there very much, because of them. Very good value for the price you pay including tasty breakfasts. Far enough from the lively noice of city center / I slept there very well, comfy beds also / but still easily walkable there.

The Hotel Casa Santa Lucia is a small family run hotel and is very modern and exceptionally clean. Rooms were cosy. Staff were very friendly and helpful all of the time. In a quiet location, so excellent for a good night's sleep but still close enough to walk into the centre of Baños.

We really loved our stay at the Santa Lucia hotel. Freddy and Elena went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The breakfasts were wonderful, the bed super comfy, hot showers, the room had a view, was spacious and the location was perfect for us. It’s just a 10 min walk to be in the Centro area. The outdoor patio in the shade was a great area to hang out with other guests at the hotel. Freddy and Elena are super hosts and can offer many extra services if you need them. We almost felt like family after 4 nights! I would stay again for sure. It’s quiet, very clean and comfortable with security too. Thanks Elena and Freddy!

Super little hotel in Banos. We stayed here for 3 nights and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Super little room with balcony. Very comfortable and clean but it was the staff that made it perfect. Would stay here again if I came back to Banos. Thank you Elena.

Friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff. Nice and clean rooms. Calm surroundings. Good breakfast, eggs, juice, fruits :). 15 min walking to center. Would stay there again, anytime.

4.9 rating says it all Nice place Receptionist with helpful advice Short walk to city and bano salado Clean

Owner is very rude and doesnt seem to care at all about his customers. We also had a reservation with breakfast which he refused to give us because it was a "mistake" by hostelworld. View at the back is beautiful but I would recommend staying somewhere else and just come to have a look at the view.

As mentioned this hostel is close to the river and has good views of it. It is not always the cleanest since the owner uses Workaway volunteers solely for cleaning, besides himself. He does scrub himself to keep things clean.The rooms are small but very cheap. Manuel is constantly building onto his hostel so there’s always the sound of construction on site. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. Older solo women beware, though, the owner is single and is looking for romance. There are dogs all around the area.

We had our own small pantry kitchen in our room which was nice, but it didn't have any towels to dry cutlery and the oven didn't work. Wi-Fi was either slow or not working at all and the whole site was under construction giving it an awful look from outside. The view was nice though and the prices were cheap, but it's located quite far from the city center, so expect to take cabs quite often, especially at night

The rooms were fine and the kitchen was fine. No complaints about the main things. However, we found the daily maintenance and cleaning to be lacking. The trash in the bathroom was FULL to the top when we arrived and wasn't emptied until 2 days later. Also, the shower has no door or curtain so the bathroom floor gets very dirty and wet after a shower. For the price it's a good deal if daily maintenance was done.... DAILY!

Great value, owner flexible, great river views, suoer quiet if a bit out of town. Stored bikes securely for us . Great kitchen / room facilities

Located next to the river in the middle of nature, 15 minutes walk from city center. Quiet environment, perfect to relax. Kitchen well equiped. Cozy rooms. Owner is not so friendly. You can book an adventure here or hire a bike (5$).

Super laid back, comfortable and quiet. Great value. Located just outside of town yet close enough for convenience. Water is sometimes not available in the morning so be sure to take your shower in the evenings.

A very comfortable place where the back packer is very happy. Close to city center, spacious rooms, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. The host Fabrizio, helped me organize the trip to the Tugurahua volcano. I had a great stay ! Thank you Fabrizio and the team!

we (european backpacker couple) had a FANTASTIC time at Montano Hostel!! only positive things come to my mind when i think about this place! extremely welcoming, friendly and generous manager (Fabricio) who speaks english and spanish. very relaxing common areas. fully equipped kitchen. towels were included. hot water shower. great wifi. and overall everything works as it should. would definitely return, highly recommend this place to any relaxed traveler!! thanks again for everything!

Had an awesome stay here back in July. Such a lovely spot to enjoy Banos and chill out. Nice shared facilities for cooking and outside dining. Just a short walk into the town and 5 minutes from a food store. The owner was super helpful and had lots of information about hiking trails and other things to do in the area.

We arrived here along our bicycle tour and absolutely loved it! There was a covered area for tent and bikes with outlets for charging and comfortable hammocks. Other campers there were lovely folks. The kitchen was well stocked, wifi was fast, restrooms and showers were nice and the walk to the center was easy. It was really great to have the peacful short distance from the center with epic views of the mountains. Fabricio was such a wonderful host - he was SO welcoming and helpful. 100% recommended.

One of my best hostel in South America! The atmosphere is really chill and nice, there is a nice view from the garden, the kitchen is big and convenient, it's clean, and Fabricio the owner is so sweet! If I come back to Baños someday I'll stay there for sure!

Spend two nights at this hostel and I’m really impressed by how Fabricio runs this place. The kitchen is clean and well equipped. He remembered our names immediately and tried to play some music from our home country, which was a nice gesture. We also received great recommendations and help with bike rental.

I stayed here with my husband and we could not have been happier with the place and with the service we received from the owners. They are incredibly helpful, kind and friendly people and made sure our stay was fantastic. Upon arriving we were offered a free room upgrade which we were more than happy to accept! Throughout our stay, the owners were very attentive and helpful. When we checked out, the offered to hold our bags for free and allowed us to hang around the hostel as long as we wanted. This was an amazing place to stay, with a perfect location and amazing views of Baños and the surrounding area. I highly recommend staying here if you come to Baños!

We stayed only one night so didn't get to experience the beautiful pool or hot tub, however we were impressed with the service - the owner got up early and greeted us before we went off birdwatching for the morning. We returned for a lovely breakfast and then were off again. We recommend this beautiful hotel in the vacation town of Banos.

This is a beautiful stay inn place. A bit older rooms and bathrooms. Overall, its an affordable stay. Its a beautiful place and very closer to pailon del diablo waterfall and other fun activities in Banos.

Stayed here this past weekend. Really nice accommodations, with a hot tub and a pool. Honestly I had a really nice stay all around, but I will say the most impressive thing was how generous and accommodating the staff was. If I come back to Baños, I will definitely stay here, and recommend it to my friends.

This rating is based on the alternatives in Banos. It is a very touristy town. The areas and nature Adobe it are great. The town itself...Not so much. The hotel is located far enough off the main drag that noise is not an issue. However it is close enough that you can walk to everything. Our room had a large outdoor space and a great view. The beds are comfortable but in the small size. The bathroom is small, dated, and leaves something to be desired. WiFi was spotty in our room and slow. Breakfast s included with the room and was good. It included waffles, eggs, fruit, juice, yogurt, and more.

Where would you like me to start? From rats on the terrace to rusty showers to rules forbidding alcohol no swimming without shower cap it was not an enjoyable place to stay. The reason it gets 3 stars from me is the location and view definitely not the hotel itself

Nice hotel, the staff was friendly. We rented the family room that allowed 5 of us to sleep comfortable in a total of 3 beds. It's a fun experience.

I loved this place because the attention to clients is excellent, you're surrounded by nature and you can see the waterfall behind the hotel, with in walking distance to the main plaza, where you can access to all the different tours.

I absolutely love la Petite Auberge. Clean, beautiful gardens, and lovely people.

The location is perfect, everything in Baños is walkable so we enjoyed been near almost everything. The downside is that the room smell like dust, although the sheets where clean. We couldn’t shower properly cause they had issues with the boiler.

Very cool loft rooms. Very quaint and lush. The fireplace was a nice touch in our room on a cold night. Water pressure and temperature were wonderful. (Made for a great shower). It was a pleasure to stay at this attractive little property.

I absolutely loved my stay here. The garden and breakfast space were beautiful, staff were so kind and helpful, and the rooms were very clean. I really appreciated the relaxing atmosphere, separate from the noise and energy of Baños. It was all so wonderful — I didn’t want to leave!

Very nice spot and beautiful courtyard/garden in the back. It is kind of like a giant Tiki bar sort of vibe. The gardens on this property will surely impress and sounds of the frogs in the evening is lovely. There are fireplaces in the room as well for those chilly nights. By looking at the map it seems like it is a ways out of town but Banos is tiny, it is about a two minute walk to the town centre. Prices were very reasonable ($32/night for two people in a private room with private bath). Hot water worked all the time and they have cheap breakfast and reasonable beers if you want to just chill out for an evening!

Pretty average. Our room was damp (that might just be Baños though), WiFi only in the lobby, breakfast is good and cheap and they did allow us to store our bags and shower before our night bus.

There was incredibly loud music from the next building. The management could not do anything. We couldn't sleep a single minute. Spoilt a whole day of my trip. I wish I had chosen a different hotel to stay in.

Nice place with a good breakfast. Only downsides are not very warm shower and a very steep and narrow road to reach the center. Upsides are the pools (if the weather is warm) and the big parking.

I booked this hotel over a week ago, only to be told on arrival that there are no rooms available. This is not good enough. It doesn't take much for an email to say sorry, we are fully booked. This shows a lack of respect.

There is a very steep entry that isn’t very safe to travel up and down. Video they provide seems a bit misleading. You need a 4x4 or Manuel car to drive up and down the steep road to access the location / city. Staff is friendly but the folks in charge aren’t honest to their word , they tell you one price and then change the price and justify it by saying you heard wrong. Plus the taxis they offer are suppose to charge you $1.5 during the day and $2 at night but at the time of the ride they change the fare. The big pool is very cold , the small pool is suppose to be warm but was not and was a bit dirty. The young lady in the front is very nice and it isn’t her fault for the business flaws. Not kid friendly.

Playita Salomom was perfect for my family. A short taxi ride to downtown Banos, with none of the city noise. The river and cliffs were beautiful. The pool was nice and the soccer field was totally unexpected. The rooms were clean and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

(Translated by Google) Everything is super basic, breakfast is super basic and if you go in a group it is better to go out to eat somewhere else since it will take an hour or more to serve you and they do not have a process to compensate for poor service at breakfast. (Original) Es súper básico todo, el desayuno es súper básico y si van en grupo es mejor salir a comer a otro lado ya que se demorarán una hora o más en atenderles además no tienen un proceso para resarcir la mala atención del desayuno

(Translated by Google) Very comfortable and nice rooms, excellent food and very good service, I would definitely come back. (Original) Habitaciones bastante cómodas y lindas, comida excelente y su atención muy buena, sin duda volvería

(Translated by Google) The sheets in the room felt sandy. Getting in is tricky because the road is difficult to access. The facilities and waterfalls are beautiful, as is the scenery. I'd say it's good value for the price, but they could improve the room cleanliness. (Original) Las sábanas de la habitación se sentían arenosas. El ingreso es complicado pues la vía es de difícil acceso. Las instalaciones y las cascadas son bonitas, al igual que el paisaje. Diría que está bien en relación al precio pero si podrían mejorar la limpieza de las habitaciones.

Very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and fair prices! We enjoyed our stay here a lot!

Flexible staff. Accommodation both rooms and changes seemed superior. Clean rooms. Nice crisp decor. BUT No garage as listed. Parking with an extra fee and off premises.

Good place to stay! Good location, clean, comfortable, nice and helpful staff, with really good breakfast! Wifi was good when it worked, but this problem I found in the whole city!

Very friendly hosts, spacious rooms and bathrooms and amazing breakfast!

Awesome place to stay... Cheap, clean, professional staff, great location... Highly recommended

Dirty

The breakfast is amazing !

Place was nice, location a bit noisy, difficult to sleep at night. Staff were friendly. However $30 dollars went missing from my room and we didn't get to who took it. Unsure how this happened and do not want to blame the staff, they said they had not been in my room. If this had not happened I would have given them 4 stars.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, smiling and giving good vibes all the time. Clean, cozy and nice place. We liked it.

Good price and friendly employees. Wash service was also good and did not lose any of our things (not a given after some time in South America).

Can't believe I found this gem by accident... Best location, best energy, best price.... Will be back for sure ❤️❤️❤️ thank you hotel Alegria!! Perfect name!!

Good shower! But the little dog likes to bark.

Good location, good price, simple room but good for the price.

Central located hostel with large clean rooms and hot shower. Use of large kitchen, breakfast free, free water and coffee. Pleasant helpful staff. Great value.
