We arrived after a long trip and were given a room on the first floor overlooking the attractive grounds. Our credit card was charged upon check-in. Things turned bad when we tried to take a nap and a loud construction generator roared outside our window. After a half-hour of unbearable noise, we spoke to management, and the generator was turned... More

We stayed at Monte Selva for 2 nights in July 2012. There was 6 of us, 4 in a cabin and 2 in a regular room. The cabin was very pleasant, it slept 5 with bunk beds, a queen and a twin. The room was clean, decent water pressure and excellent hot water, anyone who has spent time in Ecuador... More

During our 3 night stay, my I Pod "disappeared" after the room had been cleaned for the day. When the front desk was informed, they pointed to a sign stating they were not responsible for lost or stolen items. I wrote an email to the hotel management explaining the situation but received no response. I would recommend you try one... More

The Hotel Monte Selva is as good as it gets in every way! Within walking distance to everything in Banos and close to the town center, you have a view of the city from high up the hill on this hotel property. Many tours will pick you up directly from the Hotel Monte Selva. The grounds are filled with wild... More

very good place, we stayed in rooms near the pool and spa in single and double rooms all very clean. the restaurant very good, especially the "buffet" excellent.

We had the most amazing view of the city---I doubt there is a better view anywhere in Banos--and the room was spotless and spacious. The staff was super helpful.... More

We stayed in this hotel on a tour - it was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. Drains in bathroom smelt awful, the toilet blocked, the room had a dirty, grubby feel, walls had chipped paint and dark and dingy, breakfast was mediocre. Would never recommend this hotel. The spa pools were mostly empty, those that... More

We chose this place due to the “Spa Facilities”, however only use midweek as soon as the water is changed. The same with the public “curative termas” Virgen and Salado hundreds of people and children get in these cement pools that are not chlorinated. The rooms here are very mediocre and need a lot of work. Towels are old but... More

Having read someone's comment that the Monte Selva resembled a youth hostel I was a little unexcited when we checked in. However, the cabana they gave us was excellent - up in the hills with a great view and plenty of chairs as well as a comfy double bed. The spa was switched on to begin with as the hotel... More
