This hotel is clean and comfortable, centrally located, is good value for money, and is beautifully decorated. Trips out can be arranged from the hotel and the owners Carl and Priscilla are very friendly, helpful, and informative. I would certainly stay here again if I was in the area
Stayed in the family room on 2nd floor for a night. Room had a great view of the falls plus hotel is walking distance to downtown restaurants and the spa. Hearty breakfast in the morning. Karl was the perfect host. Highly recommended.
Our hosts, couldn't do enough for us, they were helpful and friendly, the breakfast & dinner were excellent. The rooms were spacious and comfortable if a little dated, but that did not deter from the pleasureable stay. A good location for exploring the area.
I have stayed at this charming place twice already while visiting Banos. It is a very charming place with much cultural art displayed. Their hospitality is amazing as well as their restaurant and breakfast that is included.
I loved the location and the cute aesthetic vibe. The breakfast with the view of the waterfall was amazing. The location was great, near a waterfall, thermal pools and plaza.
We loved it. Carl and his family made us feel at home. The place is beautiful and located on a quiet street near dining and the hot spring baths. Breakfast was amazing every morning. I would love to go back!
We enjoyed our 4 night stay. The location is ideal and the property is very amazing. It is like staying in an art museum. Karl was a wonderful host…except he didn’t let me win at backgammon lol. Breakfast was excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend and stay again.
Comfortable common areas with beautiful gardens, perfect spot away from the downtown area but close enough to walk. Breakfast is incredible and the art is a nice touch!
We had a wonderful stay at La Posada del Arte. The staff was wonderful and so accommodating. The location of the property was great. We could easily walk to dining, shopping and recreation. The property itself is so unique and the artwork is beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. We are really enjoying our first trip to Ecuador and this property is one of the reasons why!
This hotel is certainly the absolute best in all of Banos! Do yourself a favor & get one of the 2 suites you will not regret waking up & going to bed with the most exquisite views of the waterfall right outside your window.
Had a wonderful time here! It has a beautiful view to a waterfall both day and night. 15 minute walk to the bus station. The staff are very accommodating and very kind.
This is my second time staying at the Posada de Arte. I enjoyed staying here because the place is comfortable, and at walking distance from the thermal baths. My friends and I really enjoyed having dinner there. The food was very tasty and the presentation was beautiful. The breakfast was really good too. I will definitely stay in La posada de Arte again.
A super charming hotel with art work covering every wall! The breakfast daily was delicious and the owners were very helpful with any need or question we had.
What a lovely eclectic hotel. Very unique. Staff is wonderful. Choice of breakfast items and nicely prepared. Close to the hot springs and a wonderful view of the waterfall.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Our room faced the front of the building and it was quite loud when vehicles with loud music drove by and especially on Saturday night. The bathroom could use an update. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. And the breakfast was delicious. I would consider staying here again next time we visit Banos.
Beautiful, quiet location near the waterfall and wonderful staff! We stayed four days in two different rooms and both were great. Nice courtyard and delicious breakfast too.
