Nice staff, good breakfast and excellent Israeli food. The room was small but OK and quite clean. I would definitively stay there again if I went back to Baños.

The owners are super hospitable and nice, and they went out of the way to make sure I had the best time in Banos. Recommended restaurants, places to do activities and much more. The rooms are good, and the showers... More

There is wifi which can be used in the rooms but for uploading photos it's best in the communal areas. There are DVDs, a... More

As an experienced hosteler, I tend to have realistic standards and don't expect five star service, but seriously, this place didn't even try. I had a group of 8 going to Banos and reserved a week in advance via email and confirmed via telephone and also told the person around what time to expect us. Everything seemed copacetic. We got...

This place is very unpleasant. Our rooms bathroom had a hole in the roof so when someone went you were treated to the smell drifting down. Room was dingy and people aren't lying when they say there are a LOT of Israelis kicking about. Hostel staff were unwelcoming and unhelpful. All in all go to Hostel Princesa Maria instead, much...
