I stayed here for 3 nights and everything is what the previous reviewers described. It is located right outside the town and it is uphill so you get a bit of a work out going to and from the hostel. The benefit is that at night it’s really quiet and you can fall asleep really easily. The owners are very nice. There is hot water here and I would stay here again if I came back to Banos.

Breakfast is good, location is away from the crowded town and very close to hot spurs. Really enjoyed staying there. One tiny issue, rooms are close to the entrance road, you will hear cars passing by in the morning. Otherwise all good. Hot shower works after 5 minutes.

Had a good stay at this Hostal. Staff is really nice. Felt that we were at our aunts house. Very welcoming. Breakfast is included and very good. They dont have hairdryers, I travel with carry-ons all the time, so I never bring my own...that was challenging ! Overall it was a good stay and def would go back.

Hostal is at the end of town, a downhill walk of 15 minutes and slightly uphill on return and takes about 17 minutes to walk or two minutes by taxi and $1.50. Friendly staff speak a little English but basic Spainish would be useful. Comfortable bed in spacious room with wifi and TV. Cleaning daily, breakfast not included ( $3 per person if you want it), No restaurants in immediate vicinity so town is the only way to go but if you buy your own food the staff will let you use the kitchen. Generally quiet at night as not near bars, clubs etc as in the central business area. Good value for money and location if you don't like the hustle/bustle of a town environment. Close to some hot springs (on the same road) and the zoo which is worth a look is about a 15 minute walk. If you visit Banos you must see the awesome La Cascada Del Diablo. Local bus goes direct for about $1 or the Chivas tour for $5 is good value. Stops at zip lining etc. We booked for 4 nights at the hostal and stayed 9. Loved it.
