    Nice option for Guayaquil center. I stayed there second time already. Located on the corner of Iguanas park and 2 blocks from the Malecon 2000. A lot of restaurants and shops around.

    Location is central and right next to Malecon bus line. Staff is friendly and helpful, answering all questions and being supportive. The building is in very bad shape, dank, poor lighting, cockroaches The rooms are very small and not well kept, the floors are dirty, plugs hanging from walls, toilet seat loose If they could improve the hygiene of the rooms I would consider returning, as it is very affordable.

    It's a two star hotel but in an excellent location. Anything in that location is significantly more expensive than Rizzo. However, your expectations shouldn't be high. You get decent security, generously-sized room, running hot water and cleanliness. But that's about it. No laundry service, the restaurant is very basic, the furniture and most amenities are really old (especially the elevator), the internet is slow and the windows don't exactly close properly. The showers are really generous which I highly appreciated. Even so, at this price and this location, it's excellent value. Right next to the Seminary Park and within walking distance from everything important or useful in Guayaquil. Ecuador is going through an energy crisis. This hotel does not have a generator so the blackouts are for real. And because the windows don't exactly close properly, the noise from the generators of the buildings around it can be pretty unbearable. The staff doesn't speak a single word of English. So brush up your Spanish or have Google Translate ready.

    Great location close to the Malecon and park. Helpful staff, let me leave the luggage there for 2 days. The elevator worked, the water was hot, Wi-Fi signal was normal. Good size room. The hotel is old, all the equipment is very worn out. The refrigerator is very old and its door does not close well. On the last day in the evening and at night there was no power in the hotel, the refrigerator defrosted and water from the refrigerator spilled on the floor.

    Old style AC which is noisy at night, noise from outside club. Wifi was losing internet

    Apart from friendly staff The only good thing about the hotel was the location. The hotel was Old, Outdated and Dirty. I saw multiple roaches during my stay. But that wasn’t even the worst part. The worst part is that the hotel is next to 2 main streets that are extremely busy at all times and have these windows that cannot be closed. There was so much noise coming into the room that sleeping was impossible. Honestly I felt disrespected and ripped off. I paid for a hotel so I could sleep and rest and ended up sleep deprived. My ears can still hear the constant honking of the cars, the motorcycle engines and the garbage truck passing next to the hotel. I even thought that maybe it was just that room and asked to be changed but no, they are all like that. Not to mention that in the first room they put me in the air conditioning didn’t even work. There was also an intense smell of cigarettes and mold that lingered throughout the hotel. They also charged me more upon arrival than what was agreed online. The Wifi didn’t work properly either. I do not recommend this hotel and won’t be visiting again.
