PROS: A great location, safe and steps away from Las Peñas and Malecón 2000. The interior is like a museum, infinitely charming and a historical building. CONS: Lots of steps and dodgy wifi.

Firstly it is a beautiful and unique property in a very cool little neighborhood. Super friendly, they helped us with our bags and getting settled evrn though we arrived at 1:00 am. Breakfast was eggs made to order and fruit and bread and granola and yogurt and fresh juice - all delicious. Our room had view over water. 5 minute walk to malecon. They do not have airport pickup (even though it said they do)

Great place historical. Good service n breakfast. Great location

This is a great place. It's a 100-year-old mansion filled with antique decor. That, and the kind staff taking good care of us, made us feel like royalty in the 1930s. I can't give it full marks though because the wifi was spotty.

Excelente opción para tus vacaciones, hotel muy bien ubicado, habitaciones muy cómodas con todos sus servicios y muy buena atención de su staff. El desayuno trae buena opciones.

My room was perfect. Clean, great views, comfortable bed. Bathroom was perfect- water pressure and temperature perfect. The owner is doing a wonderful job at maintaining the historic building while keeping it modern. Staff was so delightful. Jaime went above and beyond to help me sort out my path for exploring around the area and set up transportation for me. Ordered in for dinner from the restaurant down the street and that was easy and so delicious. I hope to visit again soon!

Breakfast was good. I enjoyed my scrambled eggs and toast

The building is a gorgeous family mansion bountifully furnished with chandeliers and other period pieces. Breakfast was simple but made to order. The location was excellent, with artists' galleries and a variety of restaurants nearby . The staff were quick to respond to any requests we made. The immediate area had enough security such that we could relax and enjoy a stroll along the riverfront.We enjoyed having a glass of wine on the large front balcony with gorgeous tall palms framing the river view.

A very charming little place, a lot of history, right in the middle of a colonial old town. Inside the building a lot of history, of their owners 100 years ago. I will recommended 100 % . Many many places to eat, dance and karaoke. Around here….You don’t need to go out of this area to find fun.

Older but beautiful building. Very nice rooms. Good location.

This place is amazing: An old building with old furnishing (pictures, photos, furniture décor), full of character. The neighbourhood is very safe, with lots of restaurants and bars (as well as some shops, art galleries, even a theatre) in very easy reach, and an easy walk from the Malecón and downtown Guayaquil. The staff were very helpful. Breakfast was fine. But again, it is the building that is the star here: an exceptional place in an exceptional location. Highly recommended.

I immediately checked out because it was dirty.

Mansion del Rio is like staying in a museum. We had a great time. It was close to Malecon 2000 as well as the revitalized Santa Ana area along the river. Staff were great, and the breakfast was very good.

The room was not ready when I arrived and had to wait in a steamy hallway. No electricity for 12 hours per day. No water, no internet. Access when it gets dark is very complicated… Avoid it.

The area is historically old. The hotel is charmingly Victorian. I am not sure why it’s listed as a river view room as buildings and tress make it impossible.

Beautiful place, very quiet area, nice view of the sea, restaurants and cafeterias walking distance to the hotel

This place is absolutely amazing and so is the staff!!!!

Very friendly staff who went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. Beautiful gardens and common areas. Excellent restaurant and bar. Great value. Extended my stay and upgraded to a suite for another ten days.

Great location in the historic area with views of the river and lots of dining options. Staff was wonderful—accommodated my request to change my reservation to the next day when my flight was delayed and gave me breakfast at 6:30am for an early morning flight. Be ready for lots of steps (it’s an old building and there is no elevator). Would definitely stay here again!
