    No soap in the bathroom, shower curtain was mouldy, our window to our room didn’t close.

    Staff were exceptionally lovely, location is great and the value for money is very good.

    My bed creaked, the water in the shower was warm but not very hot. WiFi cuts out when it rains. Felt like I was bothering staff sometimes when asking questions. I wish they would give you more information at check in about what there is to do and the tours that they offer.

    Comfortable bed at a very affordable price, free water refill, great location in town next to lots of restaurants, did a day tour with them to Puyo which I enjoyed also at a good price ($25). They have kitchen facilities you can use. WiFi generally was ok but when it rains it cuts out. It was a good base for a few nights in Baños. It is kept very clean.

    Close-walking from the bus station and 2’ away from the main commercial street. Staff is nice and always willing to help. Also you can arrange your tours with them.

    Very nice hostel. Clean and comfortable room. The common spaces are a bit small and crowded, but still ok for few days. Very reasonable and fair price for room and laundry service. The location is perfect.

    The shower was hot but sometimes only for a few minutes.

    Friendly hosts, amazing location, very clean. You could see when the rooms were changed the cleaning lady took a lot of time to clean the rooms. Also free water and a very good equipped kitchen.

    A great spot to stay in Banos
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    It's not something we disliked, but a few hooks in the walls of the room or the bathroom might be useful... All in all, this was a great spot to stay in Banos!

    We loved the service and friendliness of Alex and his family. His father was coming to visit him from Quito, so he gave us a ride in his car from the airport in Quito all the way to Banos (a 4-hour drive). It was VERY MUCH appreciated, even if an airport shuttle was listed as a service that the hostel provided. The room was cute and simple (one table/two chairs, as well as a night table and small rack on which to hang clothes), the shower was functional (hot water!!) and drained pretty well. The bed was comfy. We especially loved the courtyard and flowers near our room, as well as the colourful mozaïc on the front of the building. The location was outstanding, just a block away from downtown Banos. Thank you Alex for such a memorable stay in your hostel!

    I stayed only one night - but everything is as per description. Owner and the family are really very nice . I was worried about the rain and biking to the cascades in the rain - but Alex reassured me it’s going to be fantastic and it was . They do not speak English, but tried their best to explain everything . It’s at the end of the busy road , but still within the centre - it’s like 5 mins walk to bus station and all restaurants and everything is within 2 mins walk . There is a cute and small patio where people can hangout
