Guest Reviews
- Cameron (9/5): Superb - Great atmosphere, staff are really fun and make it perfect for a solo traveller. Location is also really good and lots of activities on offer. Rooms are a bit dated, but all clean and still very liveable.
- Sylvia (7/5): Good - The location was great and the price was good. Loved the terrace. The room too small for the amount of beds. You barely could move around and the bathroom needed some upkeep.
- Alma (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is really nice, mishell are amazing host, very lovely and welcoming. She deserves a promotion!
- Romina (7/5): Good -
- Erik (10/5): Great hotel to meet new people and learn Salsa - The people in the hostel were great. There were a lot of activities (free dance classes every night with a great teacher) and the personnel were great. Mishell made me feel super welcome from the moment I arrived, helping me book tours and giving advice on what to do. The breakfast was quite good as well! The room was a bit dirty but the bed was clean!
- Celia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Rhoda (8/5): Our stay was really nice. Hotel is not fancy but it’s clean and staff are excellent . - The staff was excellent , roof top bar was excellent, Salsa lessons super fun! The hotel is clean and great for a 2* hotel . Location is great, the street is noisy. Street was noisy at night
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, good breakfast, and very helpful staff that can help find just about anything needed in town...
- Nicholas (9/5): Superb -
- Katharina (8/5): Very good - Great location, friendly and helpful staff! This is not a hostel to connect with other people easily (there is no common room besides the restaurant and rooftop bar)
- Valentina (3/5): Poor -
- Chen (1/5): Bad - They don't care customer's questu\ion and never reply anything, even I send a message to them, so far they never answer me.
- Bruce (7/5): Good -
- Kate (4/5): Helpful staff but accommodation looks nothing like the pictures - There’s a rough top bar area that seems nice to hangout at. They offer many tour options and bike rental for stay. The pictures are nowhere close to how the rooms looked. The room was tiny. The floors were just rooms and the space felt very restrictive. The room floors were dirty. The bed sheets had various marks and stains on them. It was also very loud with the traffic noise coming from outside. I originally booked for 3 nights but once I showed up and confirmed my reservation, I decided to leave. The woman was very nice and helped me modify my stay to just one night. I paid $30+ and left to a different hostel the same night I arrived.
- Roller (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, they have their own tour company so booking excursions is very easy and at a very good price.
- Luis (7/5): Our experience - Perfect location, close to everything Gentle people attending us Nice external decoration Nice restaurant and rooftop The room facilities are careless. Old floor, irregular bathroom sink, stained walls (Different to the site picture)
- Stephanie (3/5): Poor -
- Shelley (10/5): One of the friendliest places in Ecuador - I came as a solo traveler and picked it because of the rooftop bar/restaurant. But I stayed for days longer because the staff was so nice and friendly and I met many awesome travelers on that roof deck. Plus the location can’t be beat. everything was great.
- Andrea (9/5): Superb -
- Luke (8/5): Erupcion Hostel & Crater Rooftop Bar - This is a cool, friendly hostel right on the central square. The rooftop bar is one of the best places to grab a drink in town, so it was great to have it right upstairs! Most evenings there's an event or activity to join in with. Private rooms are simple but comfortable, it was cool to get one with a hammock. The real stars of the show here are the staff: there was nothing they couldn't help with from arriving to leaving. A special shout out to Mishell, who helped organise everything from bikes, rafting, hikes, drinks out, dinner suggestions and more! The rooms facing the street are noisy, and by closing the windows to minimise this they become very hot too (no AC or fans). A fan in each room would solve this.
- Ramon (7/5): Good -
- Sommerville (10/5): Great place to stay and the receptionist Majo is the best! -
- Jana (9/5): Superb - Perfect location in the center, everything close by. Beds are comfy, I love it when there are curtains. There is a great ecuadorian restaurant right underneath the hostel, I recommend to go there! The bathroom was okay, but old.
- Benjamin (9/5): Superb - Really nice spot in the centre of Baños, great rooftop bar at the top, staff are super helpful, friendly and fun. I found myself extending my stay far beyond what I had planned It can be a bit noisy, but that is the flip side of having a rooftop bar, it usually closes around midnight so it becomes quieter then
- Stephen (7/5): Good - On site restaurant was excellent. Rooftop bar had outstanding views and was very comfortable. The dorm room was very tight. No privacy
- Soufiane (10/5): Exceptional - Really good hostel with great food and well locatedl! The staff is super nice. I really recommand this hostel Nothing
- Brian (10/5): Perfect location, nice rooftop bar and super friendly and helpful staff - Location, rooftop, and super friendly and helpful staff
- Khushg (6/5): Fine for what it is - Location was central, rooftop bar was good and the showers were nice and hot. Very noisy at night. Also left our laundry with them one morning but they weren't able to do it until the next day.
- Dov (6/5): Besides the room which was 2 starts in our opinion we had a great time. - We stayed 3 nights at the hostel, overall we enjoyed our stay but there can be some improvements.. Pros: Staff was super friendly. Breakfast was great and versatile. Nice rooftop bar. Easy to book activity’s in banos. Great location. Cons: Room was dirty. Our sink in the bathroom was dripping and every time we walked in our feet got wet. Our room was on the Main Street and the widows are not sound proof at all - lots of noise.
- Jamar (6/5): Pleasant -
- Van (7/5): Good -
- Josephine (5/5): Passable - the location was perfect, right in the middle of the center we were sleeping in the room right next to the hallway and it was quite loud at night
- Gonzalez (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gregory (8/5): Very good -
- Nicola (8/5): Very good - The staff is very nice and helpful and is always in a good mood. Very familiar atmosphere in the hostel and one of the best rooftops in Baños. Very centrally located and with good breakfast. The hostel is very noisy until midnight. The bathroom smelled like a drain at the beginning and the hot water was sometimes not available.
- Tracy (6/5): Good location but no hot water for a night - Good: - great location - really nice rooftop terrace with a bar Bad: - no hot water in the shower for the entire night - bathroom smelled funky when we got there and never really improved - we had the room with 2 beds for 3 people, and it was a pretty tight space. There was one table for storing stuff and a nightstand, but not much room otherwise.
- Andrew (9/5): Superb -
- Tony (10/5): Perfect location! Manager was helpful and nice. -
- Darkusdd (8/5): Very good -
- Curtis (8/5): Very good - Overall it was pretty good value. The rooftop is beautiful, the rooms were clean. It’s in the city centre and had a bar on the roof, so it can be a tad noisy at night if you’re trying to sleep
- Lauren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ana (10/5): Great hostel in Baños! - I absolutely loved this hostel! It's in the center of the city where all restaurants and bars are. The staff is super helpful and they organize all tours in Baños for you! The rooftop bar is amazing and a very good place to meet other travelers! In my room was a bit loud
- Nicole (7/5): good location but noisy - Location and staff were great! You can book tours through them which was convenient. The rooftop bar was also very nice. No place to put belongings except for on the floor. Breakfast wasn’t great- just scrambled eggs and a roll. Wifi was spotty. Lots of noise, don’t stay here if you like it quiet.
- Asht991 (8/5): Friendly and comfortable - The hostel has a fantastic vibe and is very friendly. The rooftop area is really nicely designed and inviting. Also the selection of cocktails was very good and made it hard to choose what one to have. The room was good and very clean with lots of stage space in the wardrobe which was great for me and my 2 friends. The staff were chatty and very helpful too. Also super fast wifi. There is also cool art hung around the hostel. The room booked was advertised to have terrace but I'm guessing the info actually means the rooftop. Communication barriers I'd never nice tring 😚
- Anonymous (10/5): Friendly and super accommodating! - The location is amazing and the view from the rooftop is beautiful. The staff were also super friendly and accommodating. The welcoming e-mail is really helpful, and the prices for the activities are great.
- Alexandra (1/5): Bad - Staff Too much noise to be able to sleep because of the rooftop until 1:30 AM and in the road until 4 AM … we can ear what the other people are doing and saying in there room/dorms.. the worst night ever in a hostel
- María (10/5): Exceptional -
- Raoul (10/5): Great - the staff is so kind and helpful! especially Majo she give me realy open and welcoming vibe the whole stay!
- Carlos (7/5): Good -
- Brais (1/5): Bad -
- John (10/5): Our stay was excellent and was in prime location to take advantage of all Baños has to offer. - The staff was very welcoming and accommodating, making sure we knew all about the area and felt welcomed to the hotel. Breakfast was great, and the rooftop bar had great views and solid drinks. Beds were very clean!
- Brian (8/5): Very good -
- Tessa (8/5): Fijne kamer en schoon - Prima hostel. Fijne kamer en schoon. Kan wat gehorig zijn als er mensen op straat schreeuwen, maar dat is in heel Zuid-Amerika zo.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Good location, terrible smell - We had to move rooms when we first checked in because the bathroom smelled like the bottom of a sewer system. There was no way we could stay in there. We moved one room over and the smell was better, but not gone. The staff all seemed stoned the whole time, and were not very helpful. The hostel is pretty loud with people constantly in the main area, which is right below the rooms. The quiet hours did start at 11pm which were adhered to, so that was great. I get its a hostel and people are going to hang out and be loud, but the sound just really carried in this place.
