Guest Reviews
- Mor (7/5): -
- Maxi (10/5): - Todo bien, gracias
- DayiB (9/5): Estancia práctica y funcional en Guayaquil - La anfitriona fue muy amable, me explicó rápidamente el lugar y cuando tuve dudas siempre que le preguntaba obtenía una buena respuesta o solución. Fue muy amable también porque me cambió para una mejor habitación solo porque estaba disponible, lo cual siempre se aprecia mucho. El acceso a la cocina es bueno y práctico para quienes gustan de prepararse algo propio. En la madrugada sentí ruido varias veces, quizás eran personas que salían o llegaban, no sé, pero sí interrumpió mi sueño en más de una ocasión. Es un aspecto a considerar sí, pero por lo demás es hospedaje es práctico y el personal bueno.
- Melisa (10/5): Siempre vuelvo! - Me siento en familia, el personal es muy amable, seguro y sus instalaciones completas, buena ubicación y cerca del aeropuerto
- Brown (10/5): Great Place - **Amazing one-night stay that turned into two! Highly recommend Casa Michael in Guayaquil ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** I stayed at **Casa Michael** for what was supposed to be just one night, but I ended up rebooking immediately because I loved it so much. The place feels more like a home than a hostel. The atmosphere is super relaxed and welcoming – I had some of the best conversations with fellow travelers and the people there. Everyone was genuinely nice and friendly, which made my short stay in Guayaquil really enjoyable. I slept incredibly well; the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet despite being in a convenient part of the city. The surrounding area in Alborada is excellent – plenty of shops, places to eat, and everything you need for essentials within easy walking distance. It also felt safe and calm. A special shoutout to the staff, especially **Vanessa** – she was fantastic, helpful, and made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The whole team clearly puts a lot of care into making guests feel welcome. The only tiny thing missing (in my opinion) is a jacuzzi to relax even more after a long day of traveling – but honestly, that’s a small suggestion and doesn’t take away from how great the experience was overall. If you’re passing through Guayaquil, whether for one night or more, definitely stay here. I’d come back in a heartbeat! --- Feel free to copy-paste it as is, or let me know if you want a shorter version, a more formal tone, or any small changes. Enjoyed your stay, Michael! Sounds like a lovely spot. 😊 The German people there were unfriendly .. especially one that yelled at the staff and talked down on Jews and Americans.. But luckily there was an Israeli Grandmother staying there names Sela who helped make peace.. as she did negotiations with Arabs.
- Maxi (10/5): - Todo bien, gracias
- Sela (5/5): - התשלום במזומן בלבד המטבח מלוכלך, מקרר וכיור מלאים אוכל ישן ומעופש. פקיד קבלה לא דובר מילא באנגלית - אין אפשרות לאינפורמציה
- Tsabari (10/5): -
- Sela (4/5): -
- Maksim (10/5): - Все супер за такую цену
- Rosalinda (8/5): Comodidad - Ubicados Nada

- viktor (8/5): Good and comfortable place - It was a really comfortable place and good for the cash. The people were nice and it was a bit from the "city" not too far but far enough for the calmness Nothing special. It could get really warm when I sleep in the dorms. But otherwise than that, nothing I can think of
- דטליס (10/5): -
- Renán (9/5): Quiero volver. - Muy cordiales en la atención y los ambientes súper agradables. No me gustó haber llegado tarde y cansado para tener que irme temprano al día siguiente.
- Ahmed Abdulaziz (9/5): Good hostel - location good,hot shower, clean toilet, kitchen,the staff Silvia was helpful and nice to me ,bed was good ,internet good but not fast but ok . I wished they provide free access to clean drinking water 🙁
- Brown (1/5): It was okay but staff very dismissive - It was okay but it felt like a jail That the staff was nice to Europeans over Ecuadorians
- ELena (9/5): - El lugar, la ubicación, la cocina, la habitación super agradables Nada, todo fue muy muy bueno

- Mejía (10/5): -
- Mira (7/5): - Nice place, good for 1 night. The power went out during the night and the doors were electric so we had trouble getting out in the morning. Tried to find an emergency exit but they were closed. Luckily the guy that worked there came and after a little bit we found a way out. The fans didnt really worked and were falling apart.
- JUSTO ENRIQUE (10/5): Para ser mi primera visita, lo recomendaría una y otra vez. - Tiene un espacio que se puede estar al aire libre.
- Rory (10/5): -
- Davina (9/5): -
- Katrin Rech (1/5): - Kommunikation kaum vorhanden. 1 h vor Ankunft angeblich das Zimmer nicht verfügbar wegen defekter Toilette . Besitzer wollte mir " Alternativen" zeigen , war aber nicht vor Ort . Alternativ wurde mir ein Apartment weiter weg angeboten oder ein Mehrbettzimmer oder das Mini Apartment nebenan . Das Türgitter war defekt , nur Kaltwasser , keine Klima . Alles dreckig und runter gekommen . Bei Abfahrt sollte mir die Rezeption mit dem Gepäck helfen - die Frau war sichtlich schwanger . Sowas geht gar nicht . Nachts gab es Schüsse in der Gegend ..... Kein guter Aufenthalt .
- Valdiviezo A (10/5): -
- MATIAS (10/5): - Todo bien El ambiente agradable y el hostel es cómodo. Las duchas son algo incómodas para bañarse. y faltarían más utensillos de cocina / vajilla, ya que habia poco. (aunque los dias que estuve nadie cocino, asique no fue un inconveniente para mi)
- Carmen Reyes (8/5): -
- Stephanie (7/5): Good value for missed flights/last minute stays - Comfy bed in private room and had a kitchen. Just a 20 min walk to/from the airport. The neighbourhood is gated and is very confusing to navigate. Are the gates locked? Why can’t you enter through some? It’s confusing.
- LUNTIK (10/5): - Все классно. Было чисто, кондиционер работал, как надо
- quiñonez (6/5): -
- Arthur (10/5): -
- Arthur (10/5): -
- Will (10/5): Buena estancia - Muy cerca de el aeropuerto, siempre en contacto en la estancia encontré todo como en casa, cocina jardín,hamacas, etc... me ayudaron mucho con Galapagos , gracias al personal muy atentos!!!
- Cedric (9/5): - A 30 minutes à pied de l aeroport et du terminal de bus. pas loin des supermarchés et des restaurants sur une avenue importante. Endroit calme et sécurisé. Pour 1$ de plus en dortoir on à la climatisation. Trés bien, il y a tout ce qu on a besoin dans une auberge. Quand j y suis allé, c était calme.... Je recommande cet endroit !
- Rory (10/5): Me encanto - Desde el inicio todo excelente, la recepcionista muy atenta me ayudó en todo y sorprendentemente el albergue es súper completo pude cocinar, pasar un rato agradable ,conocer viajeros y más que todo sentí seguridad en el barrio
- Amir (8/5): -
- Harrison (6/5): Fine if 1 night before your flight. - Good for airport Not a comfy stay, it’s fine if headed to the airport but that’s about it.
- Yael (9/5): -
- Sandra (8/5): -
- Andrew (8/5): Great value for money in a decent area - Nice hostel in a safe area of Guayaquil. Spoke to numerous restaurant owners who all agreed the area was very safe. Common areas are large and relaxed. There was also only two people staying in the eight bed dorm I booked so it was a very relaxed stay.
- manriquez ramirez (10/5): -
- Urszula (10/5): -
- Patten (8/5): This was my first hostel experience and I appreciated the staff, the room and the price. - Someone was available to let me in, as my flight arrived very late.
- Danieele (5/5): - L emplacement . Pas d eau chaude. Pas indiqué quand on fait la réservation. C'est bruyant car il y a d'autres personnes dans l'établissement. Le 2eme soir yavait 1 karaoké ou les gens hurlaient jusqu à point d'heure. Pas top.
- matan (8/5): - Good value A little bit hot
- Jorge (8/5): -
- Rosalinda (10/5): -
- Avi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Miren (7/5): Good -
- Eric (9/5): Superb -
- Patten (9/5): It was everything I needed. - I appreciated the location and it being close to the airport. I was also glad that someone was available to check me in.
- Sanchez (10/5): Exceptional -
- May (8/5): Very good - The accommodation is in a safe neighbourhood which was gated at several places, with a major supermarket nearby. Staff were friendly, responsive and flexible to requests. I was in a 8-bed dorm with 2 doors. One of the doors was faulty resulting in everyone going in and out the door located near my bed, which was extremely disturbing. The faulty door should be fixed asap.
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hannah (8/5): OK stay - Close to bus terminal and airport got a short stay. Area is very safe, large grocery store nearby The dorm room is right in the lobby/reception area and was difficult to sleep due to the noise of the woman playing on her phone until midnight, and people ringing the bell at early hours of the morning. Not ideal when you have an early flight and want to get a good nights rest. AC was weak and hot to sleep, with no windows in the dorm room
- Aviad (7/5): Good - Good location near the airport. They have storage service if you want to go to Galápagos Islands without taking all of your luggage. The room that we ordered was flooded the day before. They didn’t told us about that although they had my number and could text me through booking app. They told us about that incident only when we came to check-in. They gave us a dorm room in the regular dorm room price, which I think wasn’t an appropriate compensation.
- Rafael (6/5): Pleasant -
- Svenja (9/5): Superb -
- Svenja (9/5): Superb -
- Kevin (9/5): Comfortable, Convenient, Great Value - Not familiar with the city yet but the space is comfortable and the staff gladly calls the cabs to come to the hostal to take you to the bus terminal and airport, and no doubt wherever else you might want to go. Good value. Safe neighbourhood. Supermarket and many food stands at night about 10 minute walk from the hostal. Will stay again when I come through Guayaquil.
- Garth (8/5): Good - Close to airport, walking distance | several good grocery stores, walking distance | quiet, residential neighborhood (nicer than Centro) | solid WiFi | functional kitchen | hot shower & soap | small lockers to secure valuable items | clean and quiet, pleasant staff | dorm room #7 had AirCon (greatly appreciated at night) | can take #89 bus to visit malecon ($0.30) | thank you!
- Chris (10/5): Secured, comfortable & cheap for budget travellers - Located in secured neighbourhood with a small park opposite the property with trees & chirping birds. A sort walk to the supermarket, fast foods & shops. Straightforward check in with partly covered patio with table tennis table a star fruit tree surrounded with ornamental plants where for lounging or working. WiFi is working well. A well equipped kitchen. I was assigned in a 6 dorm bed with comfortable bed with aircon & valuable storage. Shared bathroom & hot water. Lucy & her assistant were helpful & friendly. And very good value for budget travelers. Highly recommended. The only downside is you need to ring the bell to go in & out of the property but not a big hassle.
- Helen (6/5): Ok for a night or two. - Staff were friendly and helpful. Aircon in room. Towel & soap provided. No drinking water provided for guests. Need hooks, rails etc in bathroom to put clothes, towels, toiletries etc while using shower. Fridge in common kitchen does not seal properly. Items to be kept cold need to be in the freezer section - they don’t freeze, but get cold like they should in the fridge.
- Kevin (9/5): Excellent value nice space - Beautiful space. Not crowded at the time so small kitchen space not a problem.
- Herman (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet, clean, comfortable Wasn't hot water when I showered.
- Jackie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Balali (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cowboy (9/5): Superb -
- Christian (9/5): Great Value - Great lowkey hostel probably the best backpacker hostel in Guayaquil not too far from the airport and a small bus ride to the mall Very safe neighborhood in a gated community It's alway the place Im going back to
- Larahna (10/5): consistently comfortable stay - I stay at this place often when I travel through the city because it is consistently a pleasant stay. this day was no different. this location is convenient to the bus terminal, the airport, and bussetta services.
