We had a group of 10 that stayed at Casa del Abuelo, Banos for 2 nights in Jan-11. We basically rented all the rooms so it felt like home. Our stay definitely exceeded our expectations. Yes, the hotel needs some remodeling/updating work. But it has a funky, homeyness that we all enjoyed. The owners and staff were outstanding. Rooms were... More

I stayed here with my girlfriend for several days. The room was simple but well-thought out, while the downstairs porch, garden, and tiny outdoor restaurant/bar are picturesque. I fell in love with this place every breakfast and dinner I had there. The staff and owners are very hospitable, giving it a familiar atmosphere. An absolutely fantastic time. More

This was one of the places we had on our tour through Ecuador which made it an experience on itself. Rooms and shower average both in size and luxury, however the casa was excelent. Creating a fairytale like feeling, the way the owner makes you feel a special guest and having your dinner served by the chefs was making it... More

Everything is fresh (juice, bread, yam). BUT the best thing was the dinner (20$ per Person). Good healthy food which you normaly get at... More

Stayed for two nights which is enough to see Banos unless you plan outdoor adventure, ie. hiking, biking, horseback riding, bungee jumping, etc. The hotel itslelf is a 1940's vintage, former summer home. The owners are in the process of updating the rooms and baths. As is, the rooms are basic but comfortable. The room wall have been painted with... More

We were booked into this hotel through our adventure tour (ROAM) it is a lovely budding boutique hotel filled with eclectic art and run by a hard working young couple. The outdoor kitchen served amazing food. Danielle recommended a local massage therapist and best times for the hot pools which are a block away. These local serves coupled with the... More

Amazing hotel located in a historic colonial style mansion near the thermal baths. Great location with lots of charactor. The owners are young, friendly English speaking Ecuadorians who can provide valuable information about the area. They also serve the best food I have ever had, increadable five course meals for dinner and a real breakfast is included in the full... More

We were not satisfied about the bathroom. It is old and the toilet had some problems flushing. When this is renewed it's is a perfect... More

We spent 4 months in Banos. We are two adults and a baby. We experienced many guesthouses and mini hotels in Banos and we can defiantly say that casa del abuelo is one of the most pleasant, beautiful and homey that we have seen. The owners speak excellent English (also Italian and French) and you will find there the most... More
