Not a great location as it’s a bit stranded from restaurants or shops so can’t really go walk about for anything after dark.
Other than that it’s quite a run of the mill hotel giving basic amenities and no free water unfortunately.
Hotel was clean and secure with friendly and helpful staff.
Secure parking in a large city is a bonus.
Great reasonable breakfast was provided by the adjoining cafe.
The general experience was good. In considered the stay a bit expensive for Ecuador (79$ for two days incl breakfast). One of the reasons I chose this hotel is because of free drinking water. However, the water is positioned in a way that you can fill up only small cups. So I still had to buy a lot of water bottles outside, which made my stay more expensive than expected. The pool area is beautiful. Service was nice. Location close to the center, I could explore the main tourist attractions (La perla, Malecon, Cementery) by foot. The breakfast is kind of a surprise, you can choose betweeen American and Local. I prefered the local one, the Banana tasted amazing. In advance of my stay I asked for an early check-in at 8 clock, which apparently was not possible. However, my room was ready at about 10.30. Wifi was excellent. Shower had lots of warm water. No mosquito net at the windows and it was not possible to close the windows in my completely.
Guayaquil itself is not safe, but it feels good to live in the hotel, the facilities are also complete, breakfast is good. Overall it is a good hotel, the place is a bit biased.
