We just finished up a three day trip to Banos and have only great things to say about La Posada del Arte. The hostel and the room were very cozy and welcoming. Our room had a fireplace which was great to have a fire each night as it was quite rainy and chilly. Hot water all the time, comfy beds,... More

This was a lovely place to stay but the staff were a bit scattered. They were able to get the rooms I requested arranged but they had to do some room arranging - which took too much time. We then requested a restaurant for Dinner, as theirs was closed, and we were sent to a terrible place. The impression was... More

Since this guest stayed here in February, I do not remember the specifics of the situation. If there was not a reservation, it is possible we may have had to do some "room arranging," which may take some time, depending on our occupancy at the time. Apparently our efforts were successful since the guest did stay here. In regard to... More

I stayed in Posada del Arte a few months ago. I lived in Ecuador for quite a while and Baños is one of my favorite places (on earth), so when I took my Colombian boyfriend and my Venezuelan friend to visit, I had to take them to Baños. My friends at EcTravel recommended me Posada del Arte so I made... More

Fans of British television, and the classic work of John Cleese rejoice. Baños, Ecuador is home to an American remake of that classic 80s television show, Faulty Towers. Posada Del Arte is the new title for this show and like the American version of the Office before it, there have been some changes made to the format. The hotel is... More

My wife and I stayed here in Oct 2011 and we should have written a review at the time. We've done a lot of traveling and stayed in a great variety of places but Banos' Posada del Arte is certainly one of the most memorable. Eclectic seems the best description. The decor is probably the main impression with a plethora... More

Stayed for three days in Posada's Blue House. Not the cheapest place in town, but really excellent; pretty new room with good bed (finally no woolen blanket) and nice atmosphere. Food in the hotel's restaurant was also great. More

We showed up without a reservation and were given a room w/ its own jacuzzi... perfect in every way! The owners were friendly and helpful while busily running the hotel. Local staff was friendly and competent. The food is great, I had a hamburger which came with herbed french fries, and a home-made pickle!! Delicious! Everything here is very well... More

Room 7 has the best view & wi-fi service. Rojo 2 & Verde 2 are good in the new building. We stayed in room2 - a bit dated, cramped with good view but poor wi-fi due to thick walls. More

We stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed ourselves. The hotel is located at the SW corner of town in a quiet street with views of the waterfall. It isn't the cheapest, but you definately get what you pay for. You can have a room with a view of the waterfall which is real nice. The breakfasts, which are... More

We liked it here a lot! Lots of great details/details/details that make it worth any extra cost, compared to other hotels. The room was great---very quiet. Lots of lovely, vibrant art work tastefully displayed. Even outside in the patio/garden area there is some wonderful eclectic art-work. Breakfast was great too! Had dinner here one nite: Excellent!
