Guayaquil Hostel Suites Madrid

for a budget hotel, we had an extra large room which we appreciated as often going budget gives you a cubby hole. We had hot showers and the room was cleaned and made every day. Impeccably clean with spacious lounging areas and kitchen access. Staff super helpful and very careful about security for their guests. They stored our bags, free of charge, while we went south for a few days. Can help with Galapagos bookings as well. So close to everything too. Highly recommended

I stayed at this hostel as part of an overnight stay before an early morning flight into Cuenca. It was very clean, quite lovely with blue tile and custom wood decor throughout. The room was large & comfortable, very clean & had wifi & personal bathroom. There was a nice rooftop common area which provided views & respite from the hubub of the city. I got a wake up call as requested & taxi was called for early morning. Staff were friendly & accommodating. Would stay here again & recommend to others.

We had some time to kill on our trip back from the Galapagos so we decided to stay someplace within walking distance of downtown, so we didn't have to try and hail a cab from downtown back to our hotel late at night. The Hostal Suites Madrid fit the bill perfectly as it is located a short walk from the Malecon and the city center. We arrived in the afternoon and were greeted by the friendly staff who also took our bags upstairs. We were given the choice of two rooms: 1 on the 3rd floor with a window overlooking the street and one on the 2nd floor with no window. Since we had an early flight (7:00AM) to catch and we needed a good night sleep, we decided to take the room with no window due to the traffic noise outside. The room had an air conditioner so the lack of a window was not too big of a deal. We were able to walk downtown, check out the sites, and return to our room without feeling unsafe. The friendly gentleman at the front desk set up a taxi to pick us up at 4:00AM the next morning and also provided a wake up call for us as a backup to our alarms. I can't stress enough how helpful he was for us even though we were just staying such a short time. The bed itself was not the most comfortable bed in world, but it was pretty on par for hostel standards. Both the bedroom and private bathroom were clean if not sparse. I would recommend the Guayaquil Hostel Suites Madrid to anyone looking for a place to stay in the downtown area of Guayaquil.
