Friends from Spain and Argentina and I (US) needed to get away from the hurly-burly in Quito after the Fiestas first week of December and we could not have found a nicer place. Great ambiance, terrific hosts, lovely, clean rooms and art all over the place, yummy breakfast and wonderful views. Just a few blocks from the main square and... more

This is simply to verify all of the reasons that this inn receives so many fine reviews. Thank you Marshia and Jim for providing such a nice place to stay - wish we could have stayed longer. Abrazos y besos, Miguel y Joanne from upstate New York. more

We spent 4nights in Banos at La Posada Del Arte and would´ve spend longer, if we hadn´t needed to continue our travels. It is true that there are not that many things to do in Banos, but the town is a beautiful relaxing setting, especially if you stay here. In booking the hotel, I conversed via email with the owners... more

This was my second trip to Ecuador and I stayed here with my wife so instead of the usual cheap backpacking places I decided to pay a little more. The place is great! the breakfast one of the best things about it. Nice decor and kept clean. Artwork throughout the hotel. Cosy TV lounge and books available. The only fault... more

We stayed at La Posada del Arte for three nights and loved it! The breakfasts were fabulous and gave us the lasting energy we needed to go white water rafting, shopping, and visiting the monkey sanctuary. Returning to the hotel after our adventurous days was a comforting and relaxing treat. Also, while I love Ecuador and travel there for the... more

I stayed at La Posada del Arte for five days in July of 2009. It was one of the best places I stayed during my two months traveling in Ecuador. The hotel was beautiful, the food was always delicious, especially the sumptuous breakfasts, and the attention from staff and the owners was always friendly and helpful. It is located just... more

Our group -- two parents and two teenagers -- spent three nights at Posada del Arte and loved it. This small hotel is located by a waterfall and volcanic baths at the edge of the walkable and friendly town of Baños. The atmosphere is cozy (fireplaces, extremely friendly staff and American owners, house dog curled up on the sofa) and... more

My teen daughter and I spent one night at La Posada del Arte in Banos during our journey through Ecuador and Galapagos Islands. The hotel is charming and is decorated with vivid colors. It is well located on a quiet street just a short walk from the center of town. Our room had a small fireplace and balcony where we... more

Management response from
Jim Redd, Owner

We appreciate this reviewer's comments and the 5-star rating given to our hotel. We do pride ourselves on our huevos rancheros and the "boutique" nature of the decoration. Even though we have an excellent staff, my wife and I try to greet and interact personally with our guests. It is possible, during high season, that we may find ourselves a...
