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.

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.

Beautiful, quiet location near the waterfall and wonderful staff! We stayed four days in two different rooms and both were great. Nice courtyard and delicious breakfast too.
What a lovely eclectic hotel. Very unique. Staff is wonderful. Choice of breakfast items and nicely prepared. Close to the hot springs and a wonderful view of the waterfall.

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.

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
