A great stay

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.

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 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.

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.

Gorgeous setting nestled between the mountain and waterfalls, only 3 blocks from the heart of town yet very tranquil. The place is full of very high quality Ecuadorian art, the beds are comfortable, the showers are out of this world, the breakfast the best in Ecuador and the owner and staff are super kind, fun, helpful and generous. When I come back to Banos, this is my place to go back to. Thank You Pricilla and Karl for your generous hospitality.

I had a wonderful stay at Posada del Arte. The staff was very friendly and helpful even going as far as arranging a taxi for me very early in the morning. The property is unique and quite interesting with a lots of art throughout the hotel. The hotel was quiet but within easy walking distance of the main part of town. Prices were also very reasonable and well worth it. Great value for what you get! I would recommend this to anyone and will definitely tell all my friends that this is the "go to" hotel in Banos!!

Reserved months ago for New Year’s Eve. Arrived at the hotel to find out that my room was double booked and that other occupants were already there. Never received a notification and the owner had the audacity to tell me that he booked a similar room elsewhere. A lie. I had to stay in a dirty hostel with no clean water, etc
