Best hotel for a view of the Tunguruhua volcano
Best place to stay if you have a car and if you like a quiet spot. Right in the mountains with a great views of the Tungurahua volcano, very close to the "casa del arbol " which is an unbeatable spot for the view of the volcano. Rooms are more like small bungalows , very spacious with very comfortable beds.
We absolutely loved our stay there.

Beautiful place with amaizing views. The staff was very friendly and as we had own fireplace in the room, they put a fire on it every night, which was really good while the nights were cold.The hotels location is quite far away, but there are bus going to town, or you can hike down and come back by bus or a taxi as we did.Breakfast was inclueded and it was delicious. Enjoyed our time there, 4 nights.

My stay was charming and comfortable. The service Roberto provided was exceptional. This is a family run Hostel up in the mountains. It is quiet, clean and the bed is comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, all food is locally grown from their farm. The mountain view is breathtaking. There is a welcome fire burning in the lobby. We had breakfast by it in the morning and sat around it in the evening chatting in spanish with Roberto.
NOTE: This is up in the mountains, not in town as it is mapped on this site. It is a $10 taxi up and back or you can catch a bus. The bus runs at specific times. The actually name is LAS ORQUIDEAS Casa de Campo. Telephone: 0986628845 / 0988104853. FB: Hostaria las Orquideas Rutun
PS. The shower had cool water and wifi only works in the lobby.

Hotel tranquilo y conveniente
Es un hotel que ofrece tranquilidad al maximo, tiene buena vista a la montaña, la comida es de excelente calidad y ofrece actividades extra como alimentar venados y subirse a columpios privados.
Queda muy cerca de actividades como canopy, columpios, miradores,etc.

Pour ceux qui aiment le calme relatif
Mauvais départ. Sommes arrivés à l'hôtel avec réservation Expédia pour chambre de ''luxe". Surprise, avons été très déçus d'apprendre qu'il n'y avait pas de chambre pour nous: overbooking de la part d'Expedia- chooooo:((( ce malgré que l'hôtel les avait avisés. Pour nous dépanner, avons été logés dans une cabane dans un arbre....rustique et exotique. Après 2 jours d'inconfort, avons été relogés dans une chambre acceptable. La propriétaire nous a accomodé du mieux qu'elle a pu mais mauvaise note à Expédia.

Great place for a romantic getaway!
The hotel is beautifully set on top of a mountain with beautiful views, farm animals, and very quiet. Perfect for a romantic getway! They will light the fireplace in your room or candles and breakfast was wonderful. The owner was very helpful. 9 km from town, so you need a rental car to get around since there aren't any taxis around. Located only a couple of km from the swing at the edge of the world.

Paradise
These are some of the nicest people I have ever met. It is a family run operation and they will do everything in their power to get you whatever you need. The service was excellent, and at the same time you really found yourself immersed in this amazing forest/jungle setting. It was fun watching the pet llamas mow the lawn. The hotel is a bit out of town, but that is nice because it is quieter and not overrun with tourists. It is easy to catch a bus into town or take a very cheap taxi. I recommend this hotel to people who want a genuine experience in Ecuador and tranquility with an incredible view.

Nice but not located in town as shown on map
Overall we liked staying here. The treehouse was cosy and cool with a view of the volcano when the clouds cleared. The place had a cosy vibe and helpful staff. The breakfast wasn't huge but enough and the bread and juices were some of the best we've had in Ecuador. My only gripes were: the location shown on the expedia map was very wrong - this place is about 8km up the hill by car ($10 taxi ride each time). It is shorter if you walk up/down the big hill to town. We embraced this as an excuse for physical activity but would have been good to know. Also the wifi didn't work, nor did the credit card facilities (though they advertise having them). But overall we enjoyed our stay, (extending it an extra night) and liked the staff, the peacefulness, and resident kitten.

Beautiful and located above Banos
It was a great place. Beautiful scenery. Great service and food. The hot water did not get very hot. It was not located in Banos as the map showed. So we had to get a taxi to take us about a 20-30 minute drive away. That was not what we were hoping for. But the place was very nice so it turned out ok in the end. Also i paid online but the hotel said that i had to pay again in cash. Since the atms are in the town of Banos I was once again unhappy with the lack of correct information I recieved about this hotel. However the hotel was very nice.

Wonderful mountain getaway!
Our stay was amazing! The hotel is run by the family. Oliver and his mother were exteremly wonderful and polite! The farm is up in the mountains with beautiful views. Oliver was kind enough to take us on a hike and to another house where the was a huge swing that hangs on a cliff over looking a incredible view of the neighboring town. If you want to get the blood flowing this is how you do it! The hotel is about 15 minutes from town but absolutely worth the taxi ride. Gonzalo our taxi driver took us around and showed us all of the beautiful cascades and brought us to an awesome "canopy" or zip line the "double speed" well worth it! We stayed for three nights and made amazing friends Oliver will be missed until our next trip to Baños!

Es un hotel de campo, cerca del volcán
La comida es excelente, el trato también. Aparece cómo ubicado en Baños, cuando en realidad hay que subir hacia el volcán los nueve kms. Si le interesan los baños termales debe pedir un taxi. El hotel es ideal para quien quiera estar en contacto con la naturaleza. Sencillo, pero muy limpio. Todo natural
