Hostel Nucapacha features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and bar in Guayaquil. The property is located 4.5 km from Saint Francis Church, 5.1 km from Malecon 2000 and 4.4 km from Ramón Unamuno Stadium. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are provided.

Breakfast was free, so that was nice. They had also hammocks to chill in and a refreshing pool. The location was in a more luxurous neighbourhood, but not in the centre of guayaguil. However, they offer walking tours where they show you the highlights of the city with a lot of fun facts. And Nacho, the dog, is adorable.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The location was great, just close to an entrance to malecon. So pretty safe as well ! The environment is quite chill and the staff very nice! Had a great veggie lunch for 5 dollars with desert and soup included. The breakfast has fresh fruit too! If you are veggie, at night I recommend the restaurant menestras del negro, 1 min walking from the hostel and ask for combinado de pollo without pollo. They will give you a giant plate with lentils, egg, avocado, rice, fries and ensalada for less than 5dollars.

    Great location - las Preñas and Malecón were safe and interesting for tourists. Easy to go out for meals and coffee. Amazing staff who gave personalised and very helpful service- including organising tours. Room was comfortable, if unusual. Air conditioning was good too - necessary in the heat. Courtyard and terrace with a great view!

    Great location in the safe Las Penas neighbourhood. The hotel is amazing inside with chandeliers and Victorian era decor. The ceilings are all hand painted with designs and artwork. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

    + kitchen and fridge to use + super nice staff! + great (vegan) restaurant at the hostel one block away (Casa Michael, that’s where you check in and where the staff is in case of a question) + comfortable beds + location is allright. feels like a really safe neighborhood, Bus to the city center takes a while (but is cheap with 35 cents) Uber takes shorter (more expensive with 4-10 dollars though) + supermarket, food places and a mall close by

    Great location near the Malecon and still close enough to the airport/bus terminal. The budget double room is large and comes with AC. Our private bathroom was clean, although the shower head gets a bit temperamental. Bonus - wifi is super fast. They offer lunch and dinner, which we both got to try and they were delicious and reasonably priced. The hostel may be a bit dated but it’s hard to fault at this price range, so if you are not picky this is the place for you.
