Leaking water from the toilet, I informed the front desk but no 9ne showed up to fix it. No hot water to shower, let the water run over 10 minutes, but still no hot water. The light's were not working properly. I let the receptionist know this issues while checking out, she only said we will have someone to take a look. No apologies at all.

I understand the country has blackouts, but the hotel doesn't have a backup power generator; not even for the reception; therefore, there is no lights for the Wi-Fi. The hotel obtains the water from the water well by pump; therefore, because there is no power, there is no water for the toilets, showers, etc. The hydromassage pool water was cold.

This hotel has nice villas and very friendly staff, but the owner(s) need to invest in the facilities. It needs a facelift. For instance, villas' Fassa are getting rotten. Villas need better ventilation to control humidity in the rooms. Bathrooms needs to be upgraded. Sinks and showers' doors are acient, they leak, and smell.

The stag was very informative and helpful through our stay. The pool was clean as well as the property. I would definitely book my stay again.

Peaceful retreat in Banos, Ecuador

We stayed two nights at Casa Giralda. Things we really enjoyed: close proximity to hot springs/baths (walkable); two-room unit with 7 beds made it very comfortable for big family, complimentary breakfast was excellent; the one jacuzzi, sauna, and hot steam room were great; location is a little above town so you get great views and more quiet/little traffic on road. Things that need to be improved: two of the four jacuzzis were out-of-service, and one of the two pools was closed. Overall, the property is on-par with the higher end hotels in Banos, but has greater amenities and a superior location if you want peace and quiet.
