Expedia should never recommended this hotel for people who are traveling. Our plane came late and they canceled my reservation, because they couldn't meet me to give the keys. It was very disappointed and very unhappy with Expedia
hola :) yo si lo recomiendo, es un hotel-casa pequeño muy acogedor, la habitacion es como una mini suite, con todo lo necesario para una agradable estancia . El lugar es muy céntrico, queda muy cerca de los principales centros comerciales San marino y Policentro,
This hotel is OK if you need to stay over for a night for the airport, as it is just a few minutes away. It is acceptable at the price, but nothing special.
Most of all, it suffers from the typical Ecuadorian style of over-promise and under-deliver. It tries to be all up-market, but then when we arrived, our room had been double booked and we were taken to a different building that the owners also have. Surprisingly, we had to pay in cash even though they had our credit card number. On arrival, there was no offer of "get your stuff into the room, have a cup of tea, and then come and sort out payment". No, dead tired we had to sit in the little office and fill in forms, wonder about the cash payment, wonder why the address details we were given in the first place were so bad that it took our taxi driver forty minutes to find the place.
We enquired about the promised breakfast and were told that there wasn't any. Too tired to argue the point, we just left it there.
Anyway, after having paid, we were allowed to schlepp our bags to the room ourselves.
The room was OK, except that the aircon unit turned out to be a noisy old thing, of the type that Australians call a "rattler" for obvious reasons. Ugh!
The next day we needed a taxi, and asked them if they could get us one. Yes, they could: ten minutes. Really? we asked. There are hundreds of taxis just outside the door.
Over promise and under deliver, Ecuador.
This hostel/hotel is ideal for those looking for moderately priced accommodations. The small suite has a mini kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator, sink, table etc. Very convenient. It is family owned and the owners were extremely helpful at all times. They also speak English, which is a rarity in Ecuador. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is not looking for high luxury.
We stayed 3 nights and I plan to use this hotel on all my future trips to Guayaquil. My next trip back is in 2 months!
