This small hostal is truly lovely. Each room is different, and some are spectacular. Even the unspectacular rooms (i.e. tiny windows) are comfortable, but it´s worth paying a bit more for the view of the several hundred foot high waterfall or out over the courtyard. Beds are comfy, everything is clean, the restaurant is delicious, and the staff (including owners... more

We stayed 2 nights at Posada del Arte. The room was small, but hey, who stays in the room when there is such a beautiful place as Banos outside? The room was very nicely decorated. The view from the room was to the waterfall, we could hear it clearly as well. We had a nice balcony with a hammock on... more

The place was beautiful, clean, and had hot showers and clean beds. The breakfasts are amazing with fresh fruits, juice, huge pancakes, and eggs and included in the room prices. The prices are moderate and the location is great. Wonderful views of the waterfall and walking distance to everything a tourist needs in the city. The entire city is walkable.... more

The highlight of our stay was the food. Wonderful breakfasts, which filled us for the day. The owners source all their food locally and everything is made from scratch (we even obseved the de-coring of blackberries for fruit juices!) We enjoyed the stay because the hotel was traditional and the rooms were all individual; clean and bright. Another plus point... more

Rooms okay but a little on the small side, bathroom was a little grotty and required some repairs, hot water intermittent. The American owners of this property do themselves no favours, they seem as though guests are an inconvenience to them at times, and can be less than helpful. The flip side is that it is only a few steps... more

The Posada del Arte is a restored home on a quiet side street in Banos near the waterfall. The house is filled with art from local artists, and has a comfortable layout. Clean, hotwater and very helpful staff. The owners are American and offer non-Spanish speaking travellors welcome advice in English. The restaurant is great with a variety of vegetarian... more

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
