Good value and clean. Staff were welcoming and helpful, even giving us a temporary light during Ecuador's scheduled power outages. Note that there is no lift, so luggage will need to be carried up the stairs. Resident cat and also a water dispenser on the ground floor were additional nice touches.

Very limited toiletries in the bathroom, and the street it's on can get dark at night (no issues with safety overall though), although that might also have been due to power outages. Walkable to the Malecón but also not that close either.

The rooms were very clean and the front desk staff was great. They had bottles of water and a few other drinks to purchase. Location was decent and felt fairly safe.

They description says they have free bottled water dispenser there, but they never had any water in it. It was a little noisy at night, but not too late. No restaurants or stores really close except the pharmacy.

It's a great deal, especially for the price. The staff is very friendly. The room has everything you wold need, hot strong shower, very spacios, comfy bed. It's super clean and tidy. Was really comfortable.

The only minor thing was that it's on a main street and it's a little noisy during night hours.

Everything! Felt totally safe (police station is next to the hotel) and it’s just a short walk to the city center. Staff is very friendly. We were able to store our motorbikes in the garage while we’ve been to the Galápagos Islands. Rooms are big, modern and comfortable. WiFi is good aswell.

Place looks good. It’s ok for a short trip. People at reception very kind and helpful. If you don’t want any noise you can ask for a quite room. Comfortable bed but with a funny smell, nice warm water shower. Restaurants are 3 or 4 blocks away, not safe to walk at night but you can always get deliveries. Great value for the price.

The mattress had a funny smell and the aircon was directly blowing on my bed which is uncomfortable for me.

Spacious room, clean, air conditioning, good wifi, comfortable bed, television,helpful staff, public transportation near by, and walking distance to some popular attractions and a short cab ride to the bus terminal (approximately $5 to get there). It seemed to be a good value for Guayaquil.

The neighborhood wasn't the prettiest but I never felt insecure about walking around.

Although we had a language barrier due to us not speaking Spanish which is my fault for traveling to a Spanish speaking country and not knowing Spanish, the stay was incredibly friendly and tried their hardest to help us with whatever we needed.

They had the spray gun to use in the bathroom which is great but it would have been nice to have toilet paper just to dry yourself off after.

Stayed the second time here because it’s so comfortable, safe and perfect value for money. Stuff is incredible friendly! Make sure to try their handmade deserts, we tried four different ones and they were all so good!
