i chose this hostal because it was the cheapest and nearest to the airport. and in these categories the funky monkey wins. I cant believe the taxi found it, there was no sign outside, just a sticker on the door. when a group of three of us (girls) walked in, the owner and his friends were drinking and told us... More

Being a first time, solo female traveler, i was a bit worried arriving there at midnight but jorgan, who was running this place was awsome and super friendly. I had to catch a flight to cuenca the following morning and he was nice enough to accompany me to the airport.

This place is OK for an overnight stay, but I did not really like it. After traveling almost 20 hours I just wanted to have clean little room with a bed, a shower and a bit of silence. Well, the room was OK, the bathroom is dirty, but no silence. After 10 pm the owner's friends were coming continually, they... More

It is a budget option with friendly people and a relaxing pool. We did see a wild Iguana in the little garden :) People who go to Backpacker hostels in South America (especially with a garden) should not be too surprised about cockroaches. its natural and hard to control. The location is kind of hard to find but our taxi... More

A very hip and young hostel, with a young owner that welcome everybody with warmth! The location is close to the bus terminal and the airport, with hot showers, clean toilets, and the best thing - sweet cat!!! next to the hostel there is a big shopping mall, with big cinema, supermarket & etc...the only problem is that the taxi...

Although this is close to the Mall (2 minutes walking distance) and to the terminal terrestre/airport (10 minutes by taxi) it´s quiet and cozy... the owner Freddy is nice and helpful ..., pleasant staff..., highly recomended

My wife and I arrived in Guayaquil after a long day of flights from Michigan. Arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by the owner who was not only friendly and accommodating, but went out of his way to ensure that we had what we needed for our brief stay. (We were only booked one night as we are traveling... More

This place is a hole. The rooms open up into the reception/kitchen area where the manager sits and drinks with his friends until 7am. Some gypsy slept on a mattress on the floor of this room?! The noise is so annoying that we ended up putting the mattress against the door to try and block it. We asked the manager... More

Great experience. First of all, great location. Really easy to get there from the bus terminal. Either you catch a taxi (USD3) or you don't feel like taking the easy way, and exploring a little bit. We took latter. You catch a bus (USD 0.25) heading to the shopping "Mall del Sol", ask the driver to drop you there, get... More

The guys here are legends, really friendly and helpful. I stayed here for 3 nights organizing a trip to the Galapagos and they cooked dinner each night for me. It looks a bit rough around the edges but is a handy and friendly place to stay
