full of character, friendly and kind employees, museum like. such a cool spot, used to be the home of the founder of the brewing company of 99% of the beers you’ll see in ecuador now (pilsener, club, sambria, etc). great location, in the old colonial town

Constant light in the room from an interior window and some noise downstairs from dinner area. This was not a problem for us but it’s worth mentioning.

Staff was very helpful and kind. Breakfast was nice as well and a taxi was booked by the hotel to take us back to the airport.

Stairs! Including some that felt precarious. The amount of decoration was overwhelming at first but everything was clean and the ensuite was modern if oddly designed.

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!

The breakfast was great with plenty of good tasting food and delicious juice with coffee or tea. The room had a great view of the river and it had a very comfortable bed. The waiting room and the room were breakfast was served was eloquently decorated.

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.

Nothing (If stairs are an issue, this may not be the place for you)

Perfect location! Incredible decor in a century building. Most amazing and helpful staff. Second floor terrace looks out over treetops filled with herons, egrets and iguanas!

Minor point- the downstairs area is so old and pristine, it kind of feels like you can’t really sit there and relax. The staff were so eager to serve breakfast all at once that the eggs went cold as I was still getting through the fruit. Maybe just wait and then ask people what they would like, to avoid this in future!

The bed was so comfortable! Lovely old hotel on the river, it felt like I was in a living museum. Nice rooftop terrace as well and very helpful staff. It’s in one of the few nice areas of the city so felt a lot safer than most places.

Lovely staff and a beautiful place. Everything was great. Nice water pressure and hot shower. Breakfast they offer is also super nice :) the location was also nice. It’s right next to Santa Ana hill and connected to the staircases. It’s located in the historic district and was protected by many police.

Beautiful hotel located in a historic villa just at the Guayaquil waterfront. The owners did an amazing job renovating the building, while at the same time keeping its vintage spirit. The stay here is worth it just for admiring the magnificent architecture. But despite that you will experience amazing service, perfectly kept rooms, beautiful views from the hotel's terrace and amazing breakfasts. This is THE place to stay when you come to Guayaquil.

The breakfast was very good and the hotel is a very unique antique hotel very cute.

No coffee station in the rooms

There will always be modern, upscale places to stay in Guayaquil, but to stay at this historic and beautifully detailed boutique hotel is surely a once in a lifetime experience

The beauty of the physical space was marred by the run-down, frayed furniture and wall coverings.

Central, beautiful though run down, amazing staff.

The shower was a little rough, hot and cold water turned from freezing to scalding frequently and was not able to control it. Also just be aware of lots of steps and no elevator so taking luggage is a little bit of a challenging work out. Parking is near by, short walk but not onsite.

Location on the Malecon was great. Staff spoke wonderful English and we're so nice and helpful. It was a unique old building.
