Normally, one wouldn’t equate "relaxing spa vacation" with "hanging out near an active volcano," but if you’re up for something more exotic than facials and massages, Banos might be the perfect place for you. The thermal mineral pools here are heated by the volcano, and while there are several, offering different amenities, the easiest one to visit is Las Piscinas de la Virgen. Banos also has plenty of outdoor activities, like rafting and biking on scenic paths.

We would 100% recommended this lovely hotel. It is well placed, a 10 minute stroll to the centre of Banos, with views of the mountains. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean (as was the whole hotel), had a good shower, a nice seating area outside our room. Breakfast was good and plentiful, with eggs, fruit, croissants, fresh juice and coffee, served in a nice breakfast room. Elena, the young lady who looked after us, was absolutely lovely, friendly, professional and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. She is a great asset to the hotel. Parking was safe and secure, inside the gated property. Free drinking water in reception.area. The hotel exceeded our expectations and was exceptionally good value for money.

Beautiful place to relax and watch the landscape of the city of Baños de Agua Santa and the surrounding mountains.
Upon recommendation of a friend, I spent 6 nights at Hostal Llanovientos and was very happy with them for my first visit to Baños. Just so you know who is giving their opinion: I’m a single, mid-50’s female, originally from US, but have now lived in Ecuador for 6 years. I don’t have a lot of “discretionary income,” so the most important thing to me when I travel is comfort on a budget. I contacted the hostal directly to book and was offered an excellent nightly rate. This afforded me the opportunity to splurge on an extra spa day. And since I only spent my nights in the room, it was well worth it to me. PROS: all the important things were here for me. Room was VERY clean; full sized bed was very comfortable and I had 4 pillows of various firmness; shower water was HOT and best pressure I’ve found in any hostal (even better than my own home!); WiFi was strong and good speed; staff was always available, friendly and helpful. CONS: the finish out of the construction/facilities is rough (which is common in Ecuador, where they go for function more than aesthetics); furnishings of room were old and a bit worn; lots of noise in this neighborhood - you will hear dogs, car horns/alarms, chickens, games at a local sports facility, etc. You can also easily hear other guests outside and inside their rooms (including water running, voices, etc.). I found guests were conscious of this and respectful. But you will hear anything above a whisper. I’m willing to wave a few minor discomforts/aesthetics to save some cash. The noise didn’t bother me because it’s everywhere. I wouldn’t ever travel without earplugs and once they are in, the outside world disappears. So those things didn’t bother me, but they would some travelers, so I do mention them. Lastly, as others have said, they are at the top of a steep hill. I considered that good exercise, but you have a few options. One is, to walk up part way a few blocks over (which seems less steep), cut over sideways (which is more level and allows you to recover) and then walk the last short bit up one street over (on the other side of their wall), cut across and back down a few steps. I found this to be less severe than straight up the hill. Also, if you are really tired, a $1.25 cab ride from anywhere in town gets you there. Overall I was very pleased here. Although I might try another option if I come back to Baños for a shorter stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Llanovientos again some time.

We actually cut short our stay at another hotel which was rated higher on Tripadvisor and moved to Chamana. It was infinitely better than the first place we staid at, great service and a fun place to stay. Game room was in excellent shape and included breakfast was delicious. One day I had a 7am meeting and although breakfast started at 8am, they brought me coffee at 7am to help get me though that meeting. Really exceeded my expectations.

Due to a taxi cab driver who inadvertently left us at the hotel without all of our items, we needed immediate assistance. The owner, Rosita, offered superior service to help us recover these items. Not only this, Rosita and her staff made our visit so nice, we returned after traveling in the Oriente/Amazon to enjoy her beautiful hotel and great food at her restaurant. We would highly recommend it to any potential guests! Post Script: This is one of the closest, nice hotels to the mineral spring pools.

We came here for a two night stay and extended to four nights because it was just divine. It is away from the crazy night life in town — but just barely — you are down town in the thick of it within five minutes drive. The room was so beautiful. The grounds were so beautiful. The scenery could not be beaten. The staff were wonderful, courteous, helpful, and always on the ball with top shelf service. I can’t recommend this place strongly enough. I think it is nearly perfect. The questions below asked if any staff spoke Spanish — of course… they’re in Ecuador! But, fortunately for us, most of them spoke a good bit of English and we had no trouble with communications. There is no garage, but there is a huge newly paved driveway with plenty of parking for many cars. The spa next door provides wonderful service - ask for Marco if you want the best massage of your life. The pizza delivery — better than any pizza we’ve ever had delivered -terrific. The breakfasts that they make (at whatever time you request) are fresh, delicious, and more than you can eat… very very good experience here at en Casa de Luis.

Willy and Rosita really go the extra mile in giving their small place a homely feel and the jam, the soap and the herbal teas are all home made. We loved the breakfast and took advantage of their advice on what to do around Banos. The room was very nice too and felt quite private. As usual no heating but we didn’t find that an issue in Banos. The location was good because town centre felt busy and we were far enough away to be quiet but easy walking distance. Thank you for a great stay

Looking for the perfect Banos Bed and Breakfast? La Casa de Pia is a magnificent 400 square meter home where you will find the gracious atmosphere with the comforts and amenities today's travelers need, all ideally situated. We are located on a quiet tree-lined, residential street, within walking distance of shops, restaurants and Banos corridor night life is a short walk away.
So we booked here online for 35$ USD a night for 3 nights. Paid a 17$ deposit. After an hour of trying to find the place we finally did (there's no signs or nothing) and I honestly don't know how people reviewed this as excellent or if they were fake reviews. Anyways we went there it was pouring rain and the gate was locked and it looked like the place was abandoned, but then 2 more people showed up with reservations in the same boat we were. So all 4 of us waited outside in the rain for upwards of 4 hours and not a single person came or left and we banged on the gate (yes we were at the right address as well) so we cut our losses and found another hostel. The other two people decided to stay and wait, we met up with them later and they said they waited 6 hours and a lady came out and said this is not a hotel and then said its full and so they asked for there deposit back and she said no I have no money so I can't give you a deposit I assure you this hotel was not full so we lost our deposit as well as the other people. Whatever you do don't stay here We stayed over at the Santa Cruz hostel which isn't even a hostel but a hotel and had a private room and private bathroom room with a balcony for half the price Don't lose money like we did

Hotel is almost on the top of the hill, so not to close to Banos center, which is good! you can quietly rest after daily attractions. Rooms are simple, but clean and nicely painted. A lot of flowers everywhere, benches to seat down and rest. If the weather is good you can have breathtaking view of the Tunguragua volcano. Local restaurant has very good cheap food and freshly made juices from local fruits. Staff is very friendly and helpful, specifically the hostess who even took us for a walk to see local lamas! There is no TV in room , but very good Wi-fi.
