La Posada del Arte

Carl and family were super-helpful for all of our transportation and other needs, the charming courtyard was a great place to relax, the restaurant was very good, and the location was perfect for us. Highly ecommended.

Just when we thought the hospitality could not get any better in Ecuador, we met Carl and Priscilla at La Posada del Arte! Our family of three (including a teen) had an absolutely wonderful stay to end our time in Ecuador. Carl gave us great suggestions on things to do and places to eat in the area. He also arranged taxi drivers (Adolpho was amazing) and our COVID testing that was required in order to return home to the US. But most astounding of all, after I had a bicycle crash (stupid pothole), which landed me in the emergency room, Carl actually came to the hospital to make sure that I was okay. We are so grateful to have had Carl and Priscilla looking after us and making us feel so incredibly welcomed. In addition to the hospitality, the inn is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean, and breakfast is truly something special. We absolutely loved La Posada del Arte and everything that came with it!

What a beautiful place. I found The Inn of Art through an internet search. I had been to Banos before and loved the area around the waterfall and the thermal hot springs. La Posada del Arte fit the bill. 150 meters, or less, to The Cascade of the Virgin and the Thermal Baths of the Virgin. Out of all the spas in Banos with volcanic hot springs, that is my favorite. The hottest hot, and the coldest cold. My room (8) was perfect to me. Nice art on the walls, a fireplace!, large shower, a wardrobe, a queen size comfortable bed and a bunk bed set up if you had the children. The hallway outside the door led to a balcony that was perfect for viewing the waterfall and quiet enough to relax and read a book. An excellent breakfast was always served. Choices ranged from juevos rancheros to pancakes. Fresh juice and coffee. La Posada del Arte is located close to many other restaurants. Epocha, close by, was my place for rock and roll music, a beer and a good hamburger. Pancho Villas was also close by and their fajitas are excellent. Aromi Cafe and Chocolate serves an incredible chocolate torte and their hot chocolate is incredible. There is also plenty to do within walking distance. A soccer park, shopping, the bus terminal are all within 10 minute walk. Karl, Priscilla and their staff went above and beyond to insure I was comfortable. I loved all the art on display. I found sitting on the patio with a cold beer after the thermal springs refreshing. I'd go back.
