Hostal Grand Imperio — Hotel in Baños de Agua Santa

The Grand Imperio is a nice hostel in Baños, ideally situated near the city's central square, on the corner of two busy streets laden with tourist agencies on all sides. Food and transportation, including the city's bus terminal is all in the immediate vicinity. The hostel presents itself and has the look of a small hotel. Rates are very affordable and the rooms are simple but sufficient. Clean linens, clean floors. It's a little rough around the edges but it is a nice stay. The wifi was not the best but it worked when needed. There was a TV in our room, and storage space for our belongings. There is housekeeping which is great if you want it but you have to let the lady know in advance. There is also convenient gated parking space belonging to the hostel.

I mean, one gets the hands-off approach but it can be a little disorienting. Nevertheless, we stayed 3 nights there and would probably come back if looking for a convenient, affordable option in the...

El hostal más bullicioso en el que he estado.

Excelente precio para haber estado entre semana pero no había agua caliente solo por ratitos, faltaban porta toallas en el baño, un poco curtidas las sábanas más que todo por pandemia las preferiría más impecables y de ahí todo bien excelente amanecer con vista a las montañas y parte de la ciudad además de opciones cerca para comer y muy junto...
