We spent three nights at Magic Stone and really enjoyed the cozy apartment/room and the owners company. Aase and Ove are wonderful people and being with them was like reconnecting with old friends. We also had the chance to be introduced :-) to their talking parrot ! He was so funny and so cute ! The homemade breakfasts are the... More

All the positive comments are so true - this is the best place we stayed at in Ecuador! The thing what makes this place truly "magic" is the hospitality of its owners Aase and Owe. You can really see the love they but into every little detail of their small hotel. And most importantly, the atmosphere on their premises and... More

We stayed at Magic Stone for four nights, my niece and nephew in one unit and my husband and I in the other. It made our trip to Banos. We were enjoying a quite evening outside after a busy day of hiking when they bought us some popcorn and a large candle for our outdoor table, a memorable evening. The... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here in April 2012. This is a really nice, warm and friendly place. Åse and Ove (the owners) were great! super friendly and very helpful. They also had a wonderful breakfast that include danish bread (which is awesome) and not to mention that they had a european toilet. All in all: most likely the best... More

The breakfast was delicious. I stayed there the night before my birthday, so on the birthday morning they played Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" for me.... More

Our room was beautiful, clean, private and so comfortable. There was all the hot water I needed. The location was perfect. Quiet, because it is on the edge of... More

We cannot agree with the review from "joellejeancharles". I guess they misunderstood something and do not get the difference between a B&B and a hostel. As the name says you get a room and breakfast! And the rooms are really really nice and lovely decorated. The location is perfect, it's 5 minutes to walk from the center of Baños and... More

following the reviews on trip advisor (number one), we went to this place just 2 days before Christmas. it was for 3 days but we spend just one night. you have to know, the rooms are separate from the main house without commun space.The room (red one) is beautiful but no space for sitting. the bed is right between 2...

My adult son and I spent five nights at the Magic Stone, staying two nights longer than originally planned. We loved the convenience of walking to town in five minutes, the cheap taxis to fun and beautiful places, the great homemade breakfasts, Aase and Ove's smiling faces and cheerful nature, all the interesting information about the country, the area and...
