One of the best hostels in Ecuador. Dorms and rooms are confortable, clean, quiet. Bathrooms have real hot water, even in the cold days that i`ve been there. Breakfast is simple but tasty, with hand made jam. The living has TV, DVD, good books for reading or exchange, a bar and good music. People are kind and reliable. I really... More

The owners of the hostal were really nice and helpfull when arriving (even though we arrived at like 7 in the morning). We immediately were allowed in our very spacious room. General area is nice, but it was a bit empty while we were there so didnt meet any people there. Also, the breakfast wasnt really good so might want... More

We LOVED it. We stayed for a week and felt so comfortable there that it was difficult to leave. We almost stayed for a few more weeks for the holidays and NYE but we had to keep on traveling. Josefina cooks such great food too. Loved all of her pastries. The room itself was great as well. The kitchen was... More

We absolutely loved this place. The rooms are lovely and clean, with beautiful murals throughout. The communal area is comfy and there's a bar, TV area and pool table (there is also a good kitchen if you want to cook). The owners are really lovely people and Jo makes the most amazing cheesecakes, brownies etc!We also had the pizza on... More

Los Pinos Backpackers is wonderful. Josefina and Martin run an excellent hostel with a cool atmosphere, great common spaces and the nicest rooms in Ecuador. Me and my girlfriend stayed there for five days, got a great rest in those really comfortable beds, and enjoyed the common spaces playing pool, watching movies and cooking while doing different activities during the...

Me and my friend stayed here for two nights, the location is great, really close to the main strip. Also the food and atmosphere was really good, especially the staff who were very helpful. Our rooms were clean, spacious, and we even had hot water. We would definately stay here again, Josefina and Martin are great hosts! More

This is a great place to spend your time while in Banos. Located on a quiet street but close to downtown and the hotsprings. The rooms are tasteful, artsy, and clean, with only a max of 4 rooms per building. Nice bar/kitchen equipped with pool table and killer caipirinas on certain nights. Their complex even provides some nice places to... More
