Guest Reviews
- Frauke (7/5): - Giovanni war super nett und zuvorkommend. Danke schön ! Das gratis Frühstück (Toast mit Käse und Schinken) war voll okey. Die Matratze ist super weich und man spürt die Metallsprungfedern. Es war echt unbequem und heiß im Zimmer.
- Sisterna sola (10/5): - El trato del personal es más elegí quedarme unos días más excelente en todos los sentidos
- Charles (8/5): -
- Mariana (8/5): -
- Sela (5/5): -
- Braigman (10/5): -
- denis (5/5): -
- Julian (8/5): Céntrico y próximo al aeropuerto - Solo pasé una noche, las habitaciones no tienen aire acondicionado pero apañan con un ventilador. Está en una zona céntrica, es acorde a la relación precio calidad y es próximo al aeropuerto.
- Boruch (1/5): -
- Villarreal (9/5): -
- Sandra Milena (7/5): - Para una noche, estuvo bien La ubicación es distante del transporte principal (aeropuerto/terminal). Las fotos de la piscina son algo engañosas; el espacio es reducido y además había una camioneta estorbando el paso. El desayuno me pareció insuficiente, más parecido a un refrigerio sencillo. Además, el ventilador del cuarto no funcionaba correctamente (no giraba), haciendo que la habitación fuera muy calurosa.

- GUSTAVO (10/5): Es un lugar tranquilo para descansar - Muy bueno Organizacion 10 sobre 10
- Eliana (9/5): - Muy agradable, muy amables.
- Jose (9/5): Tranquilidad, buen servicio y personas espectaculares. - Su ubicación es muy buena, en una zona segura y próxima al aeropuerto. Además, puede encontrar buses y transporte desde esa zona a casi toda la ciudad.
El plus de brindar una merienda en horas de la mañana es muy gratificante. Es un poco enredado cuándo el acceso es por primera vez. Sería buenísimo que colocarán un aviso en su fachada que permita distinguir el hostal.
- Martin (7/5): -
- Jean Pierre (10/5): Magnífico!!!! - Me gusto todo, las camas muy bien repartidas, a pesar de ser una habitación para 4 y tenía ventiladores personales cada cama, muy cómodas por cierto, el baño impecable, te dan toallas jabón! Todo de primera, el desayuno también, te ponen queso, jamón, panes, café a tu disposición y puedes repetir !!! La atención de Peter realmente fue excepcional, desde el primer minuto que llegue me trato de manera cordial y muy educado, atento siempre. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. 10/10
- Brown (9/5): It was pleasant .. and clean and fun - The workers were so nice and i felt at home .. thanks to all the staff the room with no a/c was too hott .. I had to move to a a/c room
- ELena (9/5): - El acceso a buses, comida, y turismo muy fácil y barato
Bastante seguro y amigable Nada
- Bettzy (10/5): Excelente paso por Guayaquil 👍🏻 - Excelente atención de parte del personal, Peter nos atendió muy bien y nos hizo sentir en casa, un chico muy amable y ético. Es un lugar seguro, la zona esta llena de restaurantes, bares, cuadras animadas y centro comerciales. Todo esta perfecto.
- GUSTAVO (10/5): Recomendado 100% - Recomendado 100%

- Alessandra (10/5): -
- Charles (10/5): -
- José (8/5): Comodo. - Tuve suerte de tener la habitacion para mi solo. Un poco alejado del centro. El desayuno no habia mucha variedad.
- Juan (8/5): - Solangy Was great, She is Colombian and very gentle, Definetly she gives a good vide to the place and always make sure everything is cleand and organized. Everything was good so far.
- Juan (8/5): -
- Josef (8/5): -
- Malaika (10/5): - Mu buen servicio
- Lee (7/5): Pretty decent, would recommend - Decent place, I liked it. Booked mainly as a base to arrange Galapagos trip, good internet which allowed me to do so. Extended my stay a few times as sorting Galapagos took longer than I'd planned, good I could pay by card. Some restaurants close by, also good kitchen I could use. Really nice communal areas, both inside and out, lovely garden space and nice pool. Staff were friendly and helpful, includes a little breakfast which I always think is a nice thing. Clean place No lockers in dorms, think the shower pressure wasn't great, and not too warm, little far from town, if your wanting to be there, fine for me on this occasion due to using as in into Ecuador and out to Galapagos but overall pretty decent and would recommend
- Maicol Joel (10/5): -
- Miranda Cruz (10/5): -
- Jack Hurtado (8/5): Estuve solo unas horas, aún así todo muy lindo. - Muy rápido el check-in. Personal amable Todo ok
- Fabiana (10/5): Ótima hospedagem 10/10 - Ótima hospedagem, esqueci o nome do rapaz que me atendeu, mas ele é muito gentil, gostei muito de tudo. Fica um pouco longe dos principais pontos turísticos, mas nada que não dê para resolver com ônibus que é super barato e fácil de pegar e que te leva até os lugares que desejar conhecer ou uber/táxi para quem gosta tem um preço até que acessível.
- Karla (3/5): - Solo la ubicación En realidad más que la habitación porque literal solo la ocupamos para dormir todo el día estuvimos afuera, fue la actitud de la persona que nos atendió a recibirnos se sintió como que le molestaba atendernos las pocas veces que se cruzó palabras ,se necesita más atención al cliente
- Elena (5/5): - Me quedé en la habitación mixta mujeres. Sabía que era un hostal pero sinceramente no lo recomiendo. Yo lo hice porque fue de último minuto necesitaba algo cerca al aeropuerto pero por lo que costo el taxi y mi sensación de inseguridad todo el tiempo no lo recomiendo para viajar sola. Casi no dormí. Locación no buen lugar para viajar sola.
- Santacruz Erazo (7/5): -
- Leonardo (8/5): - No hay ruido. La limpieza. Puedes usar la cocina compartida si deseas almacenar o prepararte tus alimentos. Habitación sin TV. Libros en dormitorio pero en alemán y francés, Baño compartido (toca pagar extra por una habitación con baño privado). Desayuno incluido sin variedad: puro pan, sin opción de fruta, huevos ni lácteos (excepto por el queso), demasiado simple. Te cobran previo a la presentación al alojamiento. Debes llamar al teléfono para que te abran la puerta pasadas las 23h00.
- isabelle (5/5): - La mini terrasse C'est l'auberge qui nous a coûté le plus cher en Équateur et que nous nous sommes pas du tout senti bien accueilli. Le personnel de soutien ne nous salue même pas. Douche froide, déjeuner vraiment pas à la hauteur avec du pain tranché, aucun fruit, fond de confiture. Vraiment déçue de l'auberge.
- vanesa (8/5): -
- Madelen Vanessa (9/5): - Si! Lindo :) Nada
- Nadine (8/5): Perfect stay for one night before flying from Guayaquil airport - Very helpful and friendly host. Room and bathroom were clean. I was lucky to have the dorm all for myself :) Walls are thin, so I could hear a lot of noises from the neighbor room. Bed comfort was ok, have had worse and better matresses.
- Itai (8/5): Very good -
- Kate (8/5): Good place! - I took a private room and the bed was clean, comfortable and cosy.
The room had a desk & a lamp which I liked.
The reception staff was very helpful and friendly.
Felt safe & there's food nearby.
Free simple breakfast. The sound of the fan was loud probably needs to be updated or serviced.
- Matt (9/5): Nice stay - Staff were knowledgable, friendly and happy to help with all parts of my stay. I stayed a few more nights than originally planned.
I enjoyed that it was a calm relaxed place with everything you need for a short stay. It was value for money a 15-20 min uber from the main landmarks and places of interest in a safe location. Has some good local food nearby.
Massive thanks to the team working here 😄
- John (5/5): Passable -
- Sharon (9/5): Good value for money - Accommodation was comfortable.
- Lupe (10/5): Clean room, friendly staff, easy early check in - Easy check in, close to bus terminal , took taxi uber $5, friendly staff , early check in, local buses nearby to visit Malecón 2000, La Pena 444 steps/escalones, AeroVia cable car, affordable uber fares & to airport $4 Uber, I recommend this hostel. Highly recommend this hostel

- Farzin (9/5): Superb -
- Akcell (10/5): Exceptional - This is the best of hostel I ever stayed.

- K. (9/5): Giovanni keeps Dreakapture Hostel Going. - Giovanni, the person in charge was very helpful in assisting me in my onwards journey to the Galapagos and also in giving me tips on the cities to visit once back.
He even took me on his time off on a walking tour of Guayaquil which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The free breakfast offered was substantial.
The Hostel is walking distance from two big malls. The fan in my room was big and sounded like an industrial fan. Thankfully I had my ear plugs to soften the noise.
- Anush (8/5): Very good - Wonderful Clean ensuite double room with great AC.
Very CLEAN Pool was tiny and not good.
It's a 15-minute taxi ride from the airport.

- Jrnewmann (9/5): Great for one or two nights - Nice, quiet, relatively safe neighborhood in Guayaquil with restaurants and shops nearby. Comfortable beds. Very clean and nice bathrooms. Strong, reliable wifi. Close to bus terminal and airport and the staff can help arrange transport to either. For $1/hour after 5pm, they let me hang out on day of checkout before heading to the airport. Rooms are hot, need to leave the fan on all the time. Not many tourist attractions nearby. Breakfast is unimpressive.
- Annabell (9/5): Superb -
- Luise (10/5): Great place with good feeling atmosphere - Very friendly and helpful staff
Good choices for breakfast

- Georgia (7/5): Good - The staff were very accommodating as arrived at night alone as a female traveller and helped me organise transport The breakfast was very minimal
- Colin (8/5): Very good - They arranged a yellow taxi to take me to the airport and it cost $5.
I thought I had to use the private car service they offer... Which I feel is expensive for a solo traveller considering the hostel is close to the airport
