We only spent 1 night there during our second stay in Baños, but I certainly wouldn't have minded staying longer. The hostel is cheap (and even cheaper if you have a Ho-La card), it's clean, the showers are good and the beds are comfy. Breakfast was nice too and the location is close to everything. The place also features a... More

Stayed at the Transilvania as part of a South America trip. Itai (the owner) is a very hospitable person who has lots of good advice for backpackers and always willing to lend a hand. Very good value for the money.

Hot showers with good pressure. Wifi was good in room. It was reasonably clean - not gross but not immaculate. Great breakfasts with a few different options. Fruit and pancakes were great. Service was good. Have DVDs you can check out. Cool building.
