Manso Boutique Guest House Reviews

The hotel is in a great location, right by the river. It's a great experience to sit on the balcony and have breakfast and enjoy the view. The waiters are also nice and helpful. It's close to attractions such as the Iguana Park and the Malecon 2000 Riverside Trail.

Great location, close to everything, only 20 minutes to the bus terminal.

Nice and excellent service and excellent quality

Very good service! I will consider staying here next time! It would be better if there was a printing device at the front desk! I will recommend my friends to stay here again! The location of this hotel is great!

The environment is good. The host is nice and the location is convenient. I will come again next time

The room is clean and tidy, and the transportation is convenient

Centrally located hostel with difficulty resting due to street noise; some rooms are interior without ventilation and the mattresses are very uncomfortable; There is little interaction with guests. The good thing is breakfast

Youth apartment is OK

For the price paid, the service was exceptional. Note, however, that there are two areas in the whole city where there are standards and safety is greater. Manso boutique is located on the waterfront in the old historic district. For two or three blocks this area is fine, but thereafter it changes for the worse. The other district is north of the airport and bus terminal - the best area of the city so I've heard. The former requires a taxi as the distance is far from your arrival point. Uber taxis were sub $3 each way in the evening and $4 is the average. Manso guesthouse itself has a sea view and a secure door lock. A balcony is present and food and drinks are available at reasonable prices. The WiFi wasn't great at all, and the shower was only warm (though refreshing as Guayaquil is very humid), but I was given a spacious twin room (though I booked a dormitory) and the included breakfast was a nice touch consisting of egg, fruit, juice, coffee and other things. The staff were friendly, the cleanliness was good and the decor stylish. Would recommend if you wish to visit the area 110%, though stay north of the terminal if your trip is brief.

It was impossible to get any sleep in this warn down hostel. At the last floor of the building there’s a privately-owned terrance, where they usually party all night. The music volume was unreasonably high from my room. It felt like being at that party. The hostel owners cannot do much about it, since it’s another private property and so they have no control over it. I had to change hostel in order to get some sleep.

This is a well run and friendly place, with more of a hostel vibe (and prices to match) than the boutique guesthouse the name suggests. We had a very large double room overlooking the main road and, beyond that, the malecón. Definitely well situated for restaurants and the waterfront. Rooms at the back are probably quieter. Breakfast was fine, tea/coffee, fruit, scrambled egg and bread. Liz on the front desk was really helpful and friendly.
