    Need to clean the filters in your air conditioning. Lots of mold spores, I sneezed constantly the whole time it was on. Lungs are finally recuperating. Especially sine the outside room are on busy streets. Not good.

    I already left a review once with booking.com, right after my trip. Not up for doing this again. THe courtyard and options at breakfast were pluses. Proximity to the riverfront too.

    The bed was too hard and uncomfortable. I woke up with a back ache every morning.

    I loved everything about this property except the bed. The staff has been amazing, from Paul at the front desk and his staff, to Oliver and the restaurant staff, as well as the door staff. They have been most accommodating! The pool, Iguana and garden in the pool area are fantastic and the envy of everyone I have sent photo to. I will definitely be back! This is my hotel of choice when I stay in Guayaquil. Thank you to everyone for making my visit/stay an amazing one!

    THey need to clean the filters on the air conditioning. I sneezed constantly when it was on, lots of mold spores which aren't healthy. And also what ever pollution from the street below. I am now congested.

    Pool area, refrigerator in the room, breakfast provided, bar in the hotel, conveniences to malecón.

    Room was slightly dated, no smart TV and very basic channels. Don’t think pool is heated and it was quite overcast in Guayaquil so we didn’t end up using it. Aircon in room was a bit noisy but overall a nice stay.

    Nice hotel, staff are very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to check in at 12:30 which was amazing after arriving from a night bus. Breakfast was very nice and could rent paddles for the squash court.

    The hotel is big so it takes some walking time to get to your room. The staff were friendly but forgot a lot. We had to pay for a late check-out. Later the receptionist called our room to tell us we had missed regular check out. Then he also asked us what time we were leaving, even though he just called us a taxi to take us to the airport an hour later... That was a bit annoying.

    The pool, restaurant and the sport facilities on the roof.

    Reliable stay for delayed flight

    First, the driver whom picked me up was wearing dirty clothes and no name tag or any hotel name on him, so for a bit of time I was a bit nervous, we walked through the parking lot to get into his old car again I was skeptical. Second, I was not impressed by the quality of their breakfast, the ceviche was served in a shot glasses. Also, the guy that served the food gave me the impression of being stingy, there weren't many options for food.

    I arrived at the hotel at 4am, super tired, the hotel arranged to pick me up even though my flight was delayed by 3 hrs. They were understanding and helpful about it, I loved that they contacted me to my personal number to keep up with the status of my flight and pick up arrangements. The room was spacious and comfortable bed and cleaned. The view of the garden with pool and a waterfall was a nice touch of the hotel. Friendly staff always showed me extra help. The location was so convenient and so close to restaurants, stores, tourist sites and malecon.

    The air conditioning was very noisy, it might need an upgrade.

    The location is super central. The room was very spacious and overlooking the cascade and sort of garden. Very good WiFi, as I was doing some work. The gym was also very good and with lots of machines, not only for cardio but weight too.
