Top 10 Lodges in Guayaquil, Ecuador
Founded in the 1530s, Ecuador's largest city and main port is the top access point for Galapagos cruises and home to a bustling import-export business. Tourism is on the rise as well, thanks to a new international airport and urban renewal projects along the River Guayas promenade and in the historic neighborhood of Las Peñas. The 465-step climb to the top of Santa Ana Hill provides sweeping views and a chance to stand on the site of the city's birthplace.

Very nice
Reviewed By OnAir667728We stayed one night and left our laundry there to come and pick up 2 days later. When we came back to pick the laundry up, she was folding the clothes. We were given a fresh juice while waiting. Very nice people!

Tranquilidade, bom atendimento e conforto
Reviewed By Monica GGrata surpresa ao chegar no Hotel Ilioni. Fomos recebidos na porta com muita simpatia e atenção. Os quarto muito confortável e o banho delicioso. Sendo que a localização de frente tem um pouco de barulho da rua (nada relevante). O café da manhã é bem comedido. Os ambientes são decorados com muito bom gosto e espaços bem confortáveis Gostamos muito da localização, pois tínhamos restaurantes, mercado, farmácia e outros comércios por perto. As pessoas da recepção são extremamente atenciosas e prestativas, ajudando com informações da cidade e dos pontos turísticos.

In two minds about Residencia Terreros
Reviewed By alexh11494My girlfriend and I had a one night stay here while we were in Guayaquil. We were greeted by warm and welcoming staff members who were eager to help us and make sure we were comfortable and satisfied. They were so friendly. We were shown to our room which looked great. It seemed clean and comfortable. The showers were quite warm and we were provided with towels and soap, which was great. The WiFi worked very well and we were able to book our onwards travels very easily. The hostel is centrally located near the Iguana Park and Malecon 2000. It is also very reasonably priced. However... My girlfriend and I woke up the next day covered in bites, presumably from bed bugs. At least the symptoms match exactly this. Unfortunately we were bitten from head to toe and now we’re really struggling to shake these off. I didn’t want to put this place down because the owners are so nice, but I have to be honest in that we wouldn’t stay here again because of this issue.

Hostel with private and shared rooms, kitchen, free wifi, garage, living room, tourist information, terrace
Suitable for the young traveller
Reviewed By alexthecariocaVery friendly staff and easy to arrive from the airport, just a few meters from a Metrovia stop. The location is not dangerous but at the same time not beautiful, very limited availability of food nearby late in the evening. The double bed is nice but privacy is relatively limited as you can hear guests chatting in the common area. I recommend bringing earplugs and a lock for the door.

Bad attitude and cockroaches
Reviewed By colincclarkWe stayed at The North Star hotel for about 5 days, December 2014, and we left because of several problems. First, the place is too far away from town, and costs way too much for what you get. Second, the area is dismal, and lacks anything to do. Third, the WiFi is extremely sketchy and drops connection numerous times (about once every half hour). This means it needs to be reset, but the lady who works there will try and sell you a story about the WiFi being down all over town because she doesn't want to bother resetting the router/modem herself. We just took to powering it off and back on ourselves. Annoying. Fourth, (it gets worse), there were numerous mosquitoes, ants and we saw three different cockroaches in the room! The guy gave me some Raid to kill the first cockroach, but said he was too scared to deal with it himself, so I had to kill the roach and dispose of it myself. Disgusting. Fifth, the hotels rooms are all close together, and because of the comings and goings all night of other guests, it is hard to sleep. And lastly, we had an issue where we had paid the first night, but because we were so tired on arrival, we stupidly never got a receipt. Now this was our fault, but when we told the owner we had paid, and questioned the issue with her, her attitude stank. She is one of the many untrained people that you can find in the service industry who know nothing about customer service, never mind about basic politeness. She was dismissive and uncaring. We left because we found a better hotel in the center, which was cheaper. It was silly of the owner of The North Star to treat us with such a bad attitude, because she would have gotten 7 more days/nights out of us. But she did not seem to care, as they were fully booked, apparently, although they did get very confused over their own reservations when we spoke about it. The pros: the shower was nice and hot and worked OK, although it did get water all over the floor. There are some traveler services nearby you can use, such as a super quick laundry on the corner, and some cheap eateries nearby, but be careful of the dangerous and wide streets surrounding the hotel.. One major issue with this hotel is that they lock the main gate at ALL times. This is the only exit, and the workers have the key upstairs. There is no way out without the key, and so if there is a fire, there could potentially be a disaster here. There are no back door escapes or windows to jump out of, so BEWARE! When I bought this up with the lady who worked there, she just shrugged her shoulders and did not give a damn. You've been warned.

Trés bruyant et tres basic
Reviewed By JoanBelNotre chambre était minuscule et elle donnai sur la rue . Le bruit était infernal et nous avons demandé à changer mais la personne à la réception ne s'est même pas donnée la peine de nous répondre! Propreté limite et pas de drap de dessus. Ne pas regarder le matelas de trop prés...

Cheap and tatty
Reviewed By ekciheyStayed for 1 night in La Rosa and can't say I'd recommend it. Although it was clean, it was very tatty. Cracked tiles, missing toilet seat, missing toilet role, one small towel, air-con unit that sounded like a howling wind, couch that needed a recovering. The bed was reasonable. The breakfast was basic. No fruit. I suppose you get what you pay for. I paid $43 for 1 night for B&B. The taxi to the airport was $5 and you can get them right outside.
