Place was ok for overnight stopover close to airport. Seemed safe enough and large mall nearby if you want a wander. No breakfast available so owner did refund us and gave us a lift to the airport.

Friendly staff and convenient

Although the guy who runs it forgot our reservation the one night we stayed was good. Simple but comfy room with no hot water. He even dropped us at the bus station which was helpful.

VALE LA PENA

Es un hotel muy familiar, donde te reciben como si fueras parte de ellos, tanto Francisco como Jorge son muy amables, te guían te acompañan se vuelven tus amigos, Es cálido y la atención personalizada es muy buena. Lo único no tan bueno son los baños compartidos pues nunca sabes las costumbres de los otros, pero bien vale la pena alojarse ahí. Tienen una pequeñisima piscina donde te puedes refrescar y todos te reciben muy bien. Volvería ahí cuando esté de nuevo por Guayaquil lo recomiendo

Don't stay here.

This hostel was dirty and infested with insects. I have a high tolerance and this was pushing it.

Low cost hostel, located near airport with friendly owner/managers

it is not easy to find ... not even for local taxi drivers. Except of that, everything was fine.
