Very nice hotel in Baños. Beautiful pool and spa. Message was nice. Restaurant was good.

This is a hidden gem! Just 5min from the centre of Banos but away from the tourist noise. Historic - I sat at the table of Ecuador's first President. Room was spacious and looked out on the garden. Great bar and restaurant. But best of all were the staff and service. Especially Paul who always went the extra mile and continues to do so as I forgot some stuff. Thank-you Paul and thank-you everybody!

We booked our stay about a month in advance and drove down from Quito. We were happy to find ample street parking available directly outside the hotel at all hours of the day. From the moment we arrived, Carl, his wife, and staff greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality. They quickly got us settled and were incredibly accommodating when we needed to switch one of the rooms due to mobility concerns for one of our elderly parents. Their thoughtful assistance made all the difference in making our stay comfortable and stress-free. The grounds and rooms were exceptionally clean and well-maintained. We especially loved the rooms on the second floor, which offered a spectacular view of a nearby waterfall — beautifully lit at night, creating a magical atmosphere. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised by the strong water pressure in the showers — something that had been lacking in other places we stayed in Ecuador. The location of La Posada del Arte couldn’t be better. It's just a short walk to many of Baños’ charming restaurants, cafés, and local shops. One of the highlights of our stay was the wonderful breakfast served each mornin
