This was a great stay near the airport! Super comfortable and homey. Can’t say much about the area since I was only at the hostel. Was very helpful that a taxi could be arranged for me at 5am even though there was a curfew.

The family was really friendly, I could check-in a lot earlier than I thought what was pretty nice.

Great hostel if you’re looking for a quiet day before or after the Galapagos. It’s in a safe area and the private rooms are incredibly cheap. They will even provide breakfast and coffee on a morning if you want it. If you’re looking for something more social, I would avoid this hostel. Not only were there very few opportunities to meet anyone, you have to ring the bell every time you want to enter the property which is inconvenient.

Maria is een hele fijn en vriendelijke host, ze hielp ons met het regelen van een taxi naar het vliegveld vroeg in de ochtend en was erg prettig om mee te communiceren. Ik kan dit verblijf van harte aanraden.

I enjoyed my stay here very much, Maria is a very lovely lady who took great care of me and despite my lack of Spanish we were able to share many laughs and conversations. Although she has multiple daughters who also speak fluent English. Maria and her mom have made me some lovely meals and Maria has helped me with all kinds of advice for buses, sightseeing, etc. Because the hostal is quite small, it provides a really cozy atmosphere and allows more deep connections with other travellers.

Overall good place for a night or two, This part of Guayaquil isn’t exactly touristy, but it is relatively close to both the airport and the bus station. Good beds, fiar shower and overall comfortable. The fans were adequate

Maria is an amazing host. We stayed here before and after going to the Galapagos and she looked after our bags for us while we went. She is thorough and provides great information of the area and what to do. She’s always available for any questions and makes the stay very enjoyable. Definitely recommend staying here while in Guayagil!

Good location for airport and bus terminal. 20 minutes walk. There is a place near by that can change currency into local currency. GBP£ CAN$ and EUR€ the airport is pathetic. Do NOT GO THERE. The bank is called Del Bank and it's on the main street just inside Plaza Mayor. The beds are comfy. Kitchen is adequate. Fre drinking water. Cable TV in rooms. The front door for entry is the left one the right one is the private room. Friendly hosts and knowledgeable. Plenty of places to eat ...

I think this was a perfect spot to stop by for a night. It was very close to the airport and bus station. The terrace was a cozy spot to hang at night and in the morning for breakfast. This is family operated and I could feel the love!
