Can't say enough nice things about Princesa Maria. It is a clean, well-run hostel with very friendly and helpful owners. The hostel is well-located in banos, near both the center and hiking trails. The staff is willing to help in any way and can make recommendations for both activities and travel agencies to do them with in town. Kitchen is... More

Victor and his family run this hostel as a hostel should be run. The rooms and facilities are spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable, the water is hot and plentiful, the kitchen is available. Saulo speaks perfect English and is there all day to help you with your needs. Victor could not be a more gracious host. I came for... More

The family was welcoming, the location close to the center. The room nice and clean and there is a kitchen to cook. They gave a lot of information about the city and activity. And there is also a little parking. It was perfect place to stay in Banos for us.

A friend and I stayed at this place. It is pretty central. The place is quiet, has a shared kitchen, AMAZING showers, clean...the beds are sort of hard. Cable TV, and is a sweet place to meet other people. The owner's son speaks great English and they are very helpful and nice people. I was a little put off because... More

Amazing place. The Staff are some the friendliest I've ever met. Helpful, knowledgable, and genuinely concerned that we had everything, were content, and comfortable during our stay. Room was clean (the sheets are hilarious). Very bright and open, and the biggest rooms we stayed in on our trip to Ecuador - also the cheapest. Decent sized kitchen, excellent garden to... More

People this is a solid choice for a clean, well organized, friendly place to hold out while in Banos. Victor and his family run a home style setup, and bend over backwards to make the stay as accessible as any south american hostel can be... Fully recomment this hostel....

Perfect place to stay for budget travellers as well as for others. The price is highly convinient, around 8$ a night, but doesnt seem to affect the standards or service. Very nice staff, speak both english and spanish. They can give you a lot of help with what to do in Banos. Very reliable. Also location is very good. I... More

Amazing hostel. The rooms and facilities are immaculate. The hostal's managers are incredibly friendly and pleasant. The location is very good, as its a very short walk to one of Banos' main squares. The wifi covered the entire hostel and was faster than most in the area.

Located just a few minutes walk from the bus station and the main plaza, this hostel is in a great position. For only $7 a night we had a private triple room with cable TV & bathroom which is probably the best value hostel we've stayed in throughout South America. Wifi worked well in the rooms. The hostel has a... More
