Jeshua Inn Guayaquil

This is a low price basic 1 start hostel, in a not too good neighbourhood. The rooms are OK for the price, but the neighbourhood makes bad imptession, and does not look safe. The hotel has walls to the street with electric wires on the top. Stay there ONLY if you are one or 2 men, and REALLY want to save money.

This is a small family run Bed & Breakfast. Alex the son speaks English and Spanish. It is in the main part of Guayaquille and is very clean. This would not be somewhere you would stay long term unless you were a backpacker. It was perfect to stay the night we flew in. We got there at 9Pm and left for the coast in the morning. We were served breakfast and left at 10 am. I would stay there again. They were very hosptable. .

Overall the hotel is great. It was remodeled a year ago so it is very nice and clean. The owner is very nice, accommodating, and is easy to deal with. I came in town on a bus and thought I would get in earlier than I did. He didn't charge for the first night I was not there even though I did not cancel 48 hours in advance. He will help out with tourist information and call a cab if needed. The two negatives is I stayed a total of 3 nights and on the last 2 nights the room was not cleaned up as I would have liked. The towels were changed and bed was made but garbage that was obvious was left. Last, the website says they serve breakfast but it was only coffee/tea with a bread roll served with a slice of cheese and jam. Other than that everything was perfect!

This is a gem of a hotel in a neighborhood I would rather not walk in. Alex, the owner, is very hospitable and helpful. His family lives on the premises and is always available. There was a computer available and wifi. He has very tight security. You get buzzed in and buzzed out. Also breakfast was provided at the time requested. Very simple but filling. Typical breakfast:bread with cheese and marmalade. Coffee and juice. I would definitely come back to Hotel Jeshua.

A very clean inn and rooms are like new but small.. Nicely tiled floors, ceiling molding, fan and lites. A/C works great and cold. Bathrooms are fully attractively tiled, like new and quite nice but small. Plenty of hot water, larger than normal soap and shampoo provided. Free drinking water in the small dining/lounge area. Free breakfast is provided but is the same nice big roll, cheese, jam, juice and all the instant coffee you want and filling. Itis tiring after a few days. The owners, Luis and Christina are polite and helpful and their son speaks adequate english and was quite helpful for me. Have been here for a week and staying longer to purchase a car. Avenue Nueve de Octubre is nearby which is one of the main drags and leads down to the Malecon but is a good distance. I walked to the Malecon and the Cerro Santa Ana which offers a great view of the city but is a good climb. Security is tight here with high walls with elect. wires topping them, cameras at the entry gate and guests must be buzzed in and then again into the front door.

This small hotel is spartan but immaculately clean. The owner is attentive and tailored a tour of the city to match my interests (cementaries, neighborhood remodeling, etc.). Convenient location. The streets themselves, however, are hazardous because there are huge drainage ditches between sidewalk and street the likes of which I had never seen.

I visited Guayaquil for the first time since I was born there and had no idea of what to expect. Mr. Luis who runs this very nice bed and breakfast with his wife met me at the airport and saw to it that I made it to the hotel safe and sound. The hospitality is unbelievable. Every day my room was cleaned and bed made. Breakfast was nothing grand like you would get a 5 star hotel but was enough to get me going. Your clothes can be washed by Luis daily if you like. Also if you need to get a taxi, Mr. Luis can call you a taxi and make sure you get to where you need be. English is not spoken at Hotel Jeshua however, it gives you the perfect opportunity to practice your spanish. Luis' son who also lives there speaks perfect English. Luis has a nephew, Abdel, who speak good English and even has tour packages to take you around Guayaquil safely. Abdel has his own vehicle for transportation and all costs for the packages include transportation. I had the most enjoyable experience and would definitely return to Hotel Jeshua the next time I go to Guayaquil. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and close to the Avenue 9 October (main Avenue in Guayaquil). I hope you get the chance to stay at the Hotel Jeshua when you travel to Guayaquil.

Very friendly staff, clean room and common areas, will definitely go back when in Guayaquil.

The owners of the hotel are fantastic at providing information on Guayaquil and are very accomodating. It is better if you are fluent or speak some spanish. The rooms were very clean and new. The location is a good walk from the Malecon 2000, but using the main pedestrian street is safe and entertaining to say the least. It took me about 20 minutes with brisk walking to reach the malecon, so allow 30 minutes with normal walking. The internet connection at the hotel as well as the numerous cable channels on TV are a great addition to the services. I would definitely stay here again.

They picked me up at the airport ( although we took a regular taxi that I paid for) and were very nice and helpful for the one day I stayed. A family run place.
