Hotel Casa Santa Lucía — Hotel in Baños de Agua Santa

We stayed 3 nights in Hotel Casa Santa Lucía which is a very new hotel just outside noisy city center of Banos, it is in a very quiet neighborhood and within about than 10 minutes safe walking distance to the city center, you can walk 1-2 minutes to some nearby nice restaurants for late dinner if you arrive late, or you can ride 2-3 minutes taxi to the city center. The hotel and guest room are exceptionally clean, comfortable and well equipped with very reasonable price, 24 hours hot water, WiFi signals are strong that I can even connect to my base in USA to do complicated computer work.

The hotel serves delicious and plenty breakfast, bread, egg, fresh fruit and juice are just so tasty that they are from nature with original flavor.

The host Fredy's family is an excellent owner, they and their staff are all very honest, kind, friendly, helpful and accommodating, they do whatever they can do to help us. Mr. Fredy who speaks excellent English knows everything and everywhere around Banos (and also other places like Quito, Cotopaxi, Quilotoa Lake, Chimborazo, Puyo, Tena, Amazon jungles, and entire Ecuador), Fredy and his family members took us from/to Quito to all these amazing spectacular and amazing beautiful places during our 5 full days trip. We visited so many places and enjoyed local food with Fredy that regular tours would not be able to reach. With Fredy and his staff, we climbed Cotopaxi and Chimborazo and reached highest possible spots for regular hikers, over 5100 meters ! Fredy even helped us in arrangements in Galapagos.

We feel our trip with Fredy's far exceeded our expectation. We truly felt like we were part of the Fredy's family! I would highly recommend Hotel Casa Santa Lucía, this is the place for your stay in Banos, and I am sure I will be with Mr. Fredy again to travel in our next trip to...

We booked Casa Santa Lucia after reading all of the amazing reviews and it surely did not disappoint! The hotel is a great family run business. Both Fredy and Cristina are amazing hosts and did everything they could to make our stay in Banos fun and cozy. Fredy speaks great English (which was helpful for us since our Spanish is not very good). Fredy was able to give us lots of good tips on where to go in Banos and also around Ecuador. They provided an excellent breakfast for a cheap fee. Just what we needed before heading out to our day’s adventure. Fredy always greeted us each night with a coffee as well while we were getting ready to head to dinner. Little caffeine boost we needed after a long day. The hotel is very very clean and has everything you will need for a stay in Banos. It is located in walking distance to all the bars and restaurants in Banos but far enough that you don’t hear any of the sounds coming from the Downtown area. We walked to the restaurants each night from the hotel and it took us about 10 minutes. The walk felt very safe but on the few occasions we wanted to be lazy, a taxi was only $1. The hotel is equipped with good wifi and we Netflix and you tube on the tv. Fredy arranged tours for us as well that were perfect. If you are looking for a quaint place that feels like...

My daughter has been living in Ecuador for a couple years, and she took me on a short, mid-week trip to Baños. She reserved a stay for us for two nights at the Hostal Casa Santa Lucia while there. The hotel was very nice and extremely clean, and the price was also very reasonable. The best part, though, were the owners who treated us like friends immediately and welcomed us warmly. The room itself was exactly what we needed with plenty of space for our clothes and a locked drawer for our valuable items and a big plus was plenty of hot water in the shower! Another outstanding part were the breakfasts. One of the owners, Fredy, treated us to delicious fruit and local juices along with fresh bread, great coffee, and eggs. The location is slightly outside of the central area of Baños, but we liked that for the privacy and away from a lot of tourists. Overall, this is an excellent choice for a stay in Baños, and I highly recommend it to travelers from either Ecuador or those from outside...
