I found the Hostal Chimenea to be clean and quiet. It is well located within 2 blocks of the center of the commercial and artisan district as well as less than a block from the famous thermal baths of Baños. Internet service is available for those who want to stay connected to home. The staff is courteous and several of... More

This hostel had a roof terrace breakfast restaurant with amazing views. Breakfast is extra. The bedrooms were clean, roomy and had hot water. We even had a small balcony. It was great value for money. The jacuzzi was not working while we were there but the small swimming pool was. There is no real garden as shown in the photos... More

We spent our 1st night in another hostal and had an awful night. I had picked up the flyer for this hostal while in Quito and decided to check them out. We got a room with 2 beds en suite for 8.50 USD per person. Worked for me! The room turned out to be quite lovely with a little balcony... More

The reviews looked good so I tried it out. Wifi is bad and even the computers in the lobby. The dude with the moustache was a total *ss about it (rude and unwilling to change anything about it). Not a good way to treat guests. Dorm room had no one in it but it had a lingering stench and I... More

Everything was great, but over all the value. For 14 USD a double room with private bath, clean, private little balcony. What could you ask more for. They serve a decent breakfast (not included in the price) on their roof top terrace with terrific views over banos and the near by waterfall. There is even a swimming pool and steam... More

This place is 2 minutes away from the hot springs (which you going to check out anyways every day for a quick bath). The rooms are big and clean. Downstairs provides Internet, book exchange, and a wall with activities updated all in and around Banos. Breakfast is held at the romantic rooftop. The rates are affordable and the staff is... More
