Grand Hotel Guayaquil

Frommer's 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 attractions in the downtown area. 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 Colón or Oro Verde, but it does offer similar amenities, and for the price it's a great deal.
