Was the second best hotel that I stayed in while in Guayaquil (I only stayed in two). The word I would use to describe this place is "meh" in that it has everything you would expect but still feels pretty run-down. It was also more expensive than other hotels that I stayed in which made my experience more disappointing. The best part about this place was the location as it was a block from the central plaza and a 10 minute walk from the Malecon (the city's main attraction). There were also plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance which was very convenient. All things considered, I wouldn't stay here again though. Value For Money: ​3/5 ​Security: 3/5 ​ Location: 4/5 ​ Facilities: 3/5 Staff: 3/5 Cleanliness: 3/5

If you are looking for an amazing hotel then for 20dollars you arnt going to get the standards you expect. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! My boyfriend and I stayed here one night before our Galapagos trip and one night after if we were here longer we would have stayed at hotel Sander longer! The staff are excellent, the WiFi is great (only in the lobby) the rooms are everything You want bed bathroom, air con yes here is nothing fancy on the walls but for 20 dollars we thought it was AMAZING! We did have windows in our room 2 in fact (again you get what you pay for) so the cheaper the room the less you get ? It was a bit noisy at night as we were right next to the main road but it didn’t stop us getting to sleep All in all this hotel is great for 1 or 2 nights maybe ever more. The hotel staff even checked us in early from our early flight at 7am which was even better. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The neighbourhood isn't great, but the security, care and attention from the staff is above reproach. The staff is friendly and helpful and know how to take care of their clients. The rooms are clean, while very simple. Sometimes the good price attracks some less than desirable neighbours, but again the staff is very helpful. The location is fantastic relative to the modern center of town.

Great value for money, clean, safe, amazingly friendly and helpful hotel staff, centrally located and comfortable. I loved staying in this hotel, it reminded me of my family holidays in the 90ties to the south of Spain. The hotel is probably around 30 years old, but its kept in tip-top shape. I absolutely recommend this hotel!!

Very good hotel in a good location in Quayaquil. Friendly and very helpful staff throughout our stay who assisted us with baggage storage during our Galapogos trip. Rooms are spacious, wi fi is good and the air conditioning is quite and effective. Rooms are also cleaned throughly everyday. Excellent value for money.

Maybe all the negative reviews I'd read about this place made it seem better than I envisioned, but I think this place is a fair deal. Be warned, there are no luxuries or amenities here, but you get what you pay for. For $25 you get a clean room with AC. We froze all night the AC worked so well! The bed was firm and pretty comfortable. Bathroom was clean. There is literally no charm to any part of this hotel so keep your hopes low. But you likely are only passing through Guayaquil so really - move beyond this and be thankful for the cleanliness. The cons that we encountered were unfortunately the staff. The woman at the desk who greeted us couldn't have been ruder. She couldn't be bothered to find our reservation, the details, or our booking. She told us flat out they didn't have maps (when later we found them ourselves!). She moved at a snails pace and let about 6 people go in front of us. After a 5 hour bus ride none of this was appreciated. But everyone else that worked here seemed to be nice, so maybe she was just having a horrible day. I'd stay here again if I had to be in Guayaquil again. Oh, and it was a $4 taxi for us from the bus station to the hotel, and then $4 back to the airport the next morning.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hostel when we arrived in Guayaquil at 4am as it was the only place open that wasn't crawling in cockroaches ! I don't know how they can call themselves a 'hotel'. It looks although they have spent quite a lot of time on decorating the lobby although I think that the rooms and hallways still require a lot of work - the rooms are miserable and unpleasant and the hallways look like something out of a horror movie ! We paid 18 dollars & stayed for only one night due to the fact that our room had no windows or ventilation. There was a ceiling fan although this only seemed to push hot air around the room and didn't help air the room in the slightest - it was very difficult to breathe throughout the night. When we first arrived we were given the choice between a room with air conditioning or hot water - we chose the room with hot water but unfortunately this was not the case. The shower didn't run properly and only dripped and there was no hot water at all, in fact the water was ice cold. The staff were extremely unhelpful and miserable with the exception of one gentlemen who really tried to help us despite not speaking any English. This hotel is very cheap but not worth the sleepless night. We ended up paying a little bit more (25 dollars) and staying at a hostel on the other side of the plaza called hostel Linda which was amazing in comparison to this place ! Worst night sleep ever at 'Hotel' Sander - I would NOT recommend this hotel.
