Only discovered the A/C button by accident after sweltering a good portion of the night. Breakfast served in restaurant adjoining hotel - scrambled eggs, 4 petit pains, jam, butter, coffee, juice. Everything was served fresh. Not the best breakfast as far as variety but sufficient to start the day.

This hotel was fine for a two night stay between the Galapagos and mainland portions of our trip. The area is fine but, like most of Guayaquil, I wouldn’t recommend wandering at night.

Hotel Las Peñas, a simple 2 or 3 star hotel. I was given a windowless room. It didn't bother me. The hotel is centrally located with an abundant commercial area. Makes it a big plus. The breakfast, included in the price was of scramble eggs, 4 small pieces of bread, a choice of 5 different natural juices and coffee. Good enough for me. Many thanks to the servers, Aurelio and Wellington for their fantastic service. Not only to me but also to the other guests. My room was spacious. The only thing missing was a night lamp. I didn't like the shower head. You can't adjust it. The wifi was shoddy. Lots of buffering. The reason may be the password is for everyone in the hotel. The A/C was great! The staff was wonderful. Always courteous and helpful. I don't know if the staff speaks English. I interacted with them in spanish. Overall I'm very happy with my stay and yes I will comeback. Thank you Hotel Las Peñas.

We are repeat guests as we stay here on our way to and from the airport for a pre and post flight break. Property is in downtown Guayaquil in "the heart of the city" as they so proudly state. It is convenient to the airport, the Malecon and the Air Tran. We find the hotel convenient and feel safe walking around the city. The staff are always courteous and helpful.

First, I must commend the location. It is fantastic, offering easy access to many attractions in the center of the city. Being so close to 9 de Octubre, Malecón 2000, and Parque de las Iguanas made my visit very enjoyable. I particularly appreciated my room, which had huge windows that let in a lot of natural light. Additionally, the air conditioning worked well, providing a comfortable environment for my stay. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff also made a positive impact on my experience. However, I noticed that the hotel appears a bit rundown in certain areas. I believe that a revamp could greatly enhance the overall experience and make it an even more wonderful place to stay.
