Great hostel for a great price

The views from the room are incredible. Great to have a small kitchen in the room that is usable with some utensils. We arrived and were able to check in at 7am. Free drinking water! Room was big and comfortable. Great balcony to use with hammocks. Cute kitty!!

Big clean room with an amazing view on the river. The kitchen was big and well furnished. Very quiet at night. Absolutely worth it for the view outside.

Best hostal in Baños

We loved the location, calm neighborhood, magnificent view of the river and volcano. The kitchen is fully equipped, spacious and clean. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The host is very welcoming. The place is great for single travelers as well as families. We really recommend it!

I would definitely find another accommodation option in Banos.

Beautiful view of the valley below Banos. Also, there's a dog and a cat on the property, which always cheers things up. The property certainly has potential, but as of now it definitely isn't living up to it.

The room was very spacious and comfortable. The view from the room was amazing. Very kind owner. I am not a dog lover at all. But Bingo the lodges dog was great and would help protect you when the other dogs on the road would be quite aggressive.

A lovely place, great value for money.

Location is lovely, right above the river, you can see vultures soaring and hear the river. We were in a little apartment, a double bed and bunk bed, our own private bathroom and a kitchen, with an oven, 4 hobs. You're given drinking water which I think is a great touch as otherwise you're boiling it. You're also given towels. There's plenty of space to hang up laundry if you need to. It is a walk into town, but only about 20-25 minutes or a cheap taxi ($1.25-1.50). For what you save on the room price you can afford to taxi both ways and still not pay what people do in the Town centre. It's very quiet and has nice touches like swings and beautiful flowers planted. There are some really nice details in the shared kitchen too. We managed to find everything we needed for cooking. We liked it so much we came back specifically to stay there and rest after the selva.

Such a great property in Baños, clean and comfortable with great rates!

Everything is so wonderful here, the owner is so friendly and welcoming. We felt immediately at home. The room is very big and clean, with great view of the river outside. The rates were so great and this is by far the best deal for our trips. There are cats and a dog which made my sons so happy here. Thank you to the hosts of this hotel.
