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.

This hotel is certainly the absolute best in all of Banos! Do yourself a favor & get one of the 2 suites you will not regret waking up & going to bed with the most exquisite views of the waterfall right outside your window.
