Hotel Malecon Inn Reviews

Hotel Review: Hotel Malecón Inn, Guayaquil, Ecuador I recently stayed at Hotel Malecón Inn in the heart of Guayaquil, and here’s my honest experience: Location: ★★★★★ The hotel’s location is its strongest asset. It’s within walking distance to the Malecón 2000, Las Peñas, and many other key tourist attractions. I loved how easy it was to explore the city from here—whether during the day or in the evening. Staff & Service: The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the reception team. They answered questions and offered directions, though English was limited with some. Still, they tried their best to assist, which I appreciated. Cleanliness & Comfort: The rooms were basic but clean. Bed was decent for a night’s sleep. However, some parts of the hotel feel outdated and could use a refresh. If you’re expecting luxury, this might not be the place, but for a practical and affordable stay, it does the job. Wi-Fi & Amenities: Wi-Fi was okay—stronger in common areas than in the rooms. The air conditioning worked, which was crucial in Guayaquil’s heat. Value for Money: If you’re on a budget and want a central, safe place to stay in Guayaquil, Hotel Malecón Inn offers good value. Don’t expect five stars—but do expect convenience and functionality.

There are many Chinese restaurants nearby. Convenient transportation

This is a good hotel. Very close to the boardwalk and a park with iguanas.

Do not book this hotel. When entering the country, the customs called the hotel but could not get through. Ctrip customer service also tried to get through to them for several days but could not get through. They also refused to give a refund. It is an absolute scam. Please read this carefully. Do not let this hotel ruin your trip. The round-trip air ticket cost more than 20,000 yuan, but it is all ruined because of this hotel.

Very bad, don't book this hotel. Customs verified whether the reservation was real, but no one answered the phone and refused customs.

It is recommended to choose elsewhere!
