Hostal Bryana

The hot shower was the best we had in South America! (Except the last day there was no hot water) Good location right next to bus station, a bit out of the centre but Banos isn’t very big! The room was very clean. The gentleman on the reception was very friendly. Bed was comfortable!

It unfortunately was the loudest Hostal we have stayed in. There appears to be a poker place across the road who sometimes run until late. Unfortunately the staff speak very loud to each other (sometimes I thought they were having an argument) or watch movies/tv in reception which you can hear from your room loud at night. The curtains don’t cover the entire windows so light comes in, but also people can see you from the street. There is a fantastic Indian resturant just opened next door, but on our last night the workers who were staying at the Hostal kept opening and closing the roller door which locks the Hostal up, they continued to make so much noise in the hallway at 4am in the morning moving a mattress into another room or something, I had to come out and ask them to be quiet - I know it’s not the hostels fault, but the noise just echoes so must due to the tiled floors. I would still recommend this place though! Just bring ear buds (which we always travel with anyway)

It is in the center of the city and if you choose a room at the very top of the building the noise won’t bother you
