Grand Hotel Guayaquil Review

There are two reasons to stay at this hotel. First, the location: It's only a few blocks from the Malecón and close to all the major downtown attractions. Second, the gorgeous swimming pool: Take one look at the magnificent waterfall cascading into the clear blue water and you'll feel as though you are in a tropical resort. It provides a great escape from the heat, noise, and pollution of Guayaquil. Unfortunately, the rooms, though comfortable and generously sized, aren't as fancy as the pool. The walls are a bit thin, so to avoid hearing your neighbors as they traipse through the hallway, request a room as far from the elevator as possible. This hotel is not as luxurious or well kept as the Hilton or Oro Verde, but it does offer similar amenities, and for the price it's a great deal.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; 2 air-conditioned squash courts; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; small business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; smoke-free floors; executive/club floors

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
