Rooms have a TV. Some units have a seating area for your convenience. Certain rooms include views of the mountain or river. The rooms are fitted with a private bathroom.

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!

I slept so well here, really quiet room and big comfortable bed. It's a very friendly family run business.

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.

    Nice hostel near the centre of the Baňos. Nice and sufficient room, kitchen and terrace where we spent whole evening. We used the bike rental service and parking place. Only parking place is a little bit further - a few blocks. But in case you try to find nice, cheaper accomodation for 1 or 2 nights - this is really super place where to stay in Baňos.

    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.

    Comfortable stay in great location. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. The hostel has two kitchens, which was very handy, and both were well equipped with everything we needed for a couple of nights. The hostel is very conveniently located right in front of the bus terminal. The staff were very lovely and accommodating and were able to organise some great activities for us whilst we were in Baños.

    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
