Monte Selva


Monte Selva is an accommodation located right on the side of the mountains which, surround Banios de Agua Santa. The place itself is beautiful there is a swimming pool, sport facilities and even animals that belong to the place… even if you don’t stay there, it’s recommended that you take a walk up the mountain starting from there (there are special paths)… see the cabins, animas and the magnificent view of the valley. Attached is a picture I took from on the of the paths.

Hostal La Chimenea

This Hostel is relatively new, i was there when they were just finishing to build and fix a couple of things and it was already almost full of people...  they have a nice pool and steam baths which unfortunately i didn't get to use. 
prices rage between 6.5 to 8.6usds per night. The family that runs this hostel are also very helpful. 
more info about this hostels and contact detail, can be found on: http://www.minihostels.com/banios-de-agua-santa/hostal-la-chimenea.html

El Marques Posada


ok, so if you're traveling as a couple this i a place you must call and ask if the suit on the roof is free. It's better if you call before you get there because it tends to be booked in advance. This suit has a beautiful panoramic view of the whole valley, a waterfall and the city. the prices range between  15usd to 25. more info and pics: http://www.minihostels.com/banios-de-agua-santa/el-marques-posada.html
the picture shows a little glimpse of the view that can be seen from the suit on the roof that i mentioned.

Hostal Transilvania



I stayed in this hostel for about a week. The hostel is quite, central and very cozy. Also the food is great (the combination of an israely and an ecuadorian owners does the trick).
