Only discovered the A/C button by accident after sweltering a good portion of the night. Breakfast served in restaurant adjoining hotel - scrambled eggs, 4 petit pains, jam, butter, coffee, juice. Everything was served fresh. Not the best breakfast as far as variety but sufficient to start the day.

No parking end poor breakfast

Clean room, delicious breakfast, good location.

Kind staff! Room was clean.

The air conditioning was great and the location was very good.

The location is excellent and the staff are very helpful

First, I must commend the location. It is fantastic, offering easy access to many attractions in the center of the city. Being so close to 9 de Octubre, Malecón 2000, and Parque de las Iguanas made my visit very enjoyable. I particularly appreciated my room, which had huge windows that let in a lot of natural light. Additionally, the air conditioning worked well, providing a comfortable environment for my stay. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff also made a positive impact on my experience. However, I noticed that the hotel appears a bit rundown in certain areas. I believe that a revamp could greatly enhance the overall experience and make it an even more wonderful place to stay.

Not what the photos showed. Old and dirty. Would not recommend.

It’s good

This hotel was fine for a two night stay between the Galapagos and mainland portions of our trip. The area is fine but, like most of Guayaquil, I wouldn’t recommend wandering at night.

Las Penas is our go to place whenever we are in Guayaquil, which is several times each year. It's a welcoming property with friendly, helpful staff. It is centrally located in downtown Guayaquil in easy walk to the Malecon, restaurants and other attractions.

although there was no generator, and there is a rolling power outage, the inconvenience was minimized by the area we stayed in

We have stayed at Las Penas several times as it's our home whenever we pass through Guayaquil. It's walking distance to the Malecón and Aero Via and has several restaurants nearby.

Exelent hotel

Rooms are spacious, Wi-Fi is Good, breakfast is continental, staff at the reception is helpful and attentive especially Genelia. Room is not sound proof and having some traffic noise during sleep. It is in Centro and everything is nearby including Supermarket, Claro and many eating options. Flip side of the hotel is they do not have electricity backup. Guayaquil is having a lot of electricity cuts. so if the electricity goes off then nothing is working in the hotel. you cannot have a Wi-Fi, cannot recharge your mobile and it's complete dark. Owner should look after electricity backup and put some investment in this hotel.

Great place to stay with my family.

This hotel is in downtown Guayaquil. We stay here whenever we are in Guayaquil and are happy with the hotel. It's clean, adequate to our needs and unpretentious. We have tried other hotels in Guayaquil but Las Penas is our favorite.

Its a very nice but older hotel. The staff was very nice and had pretty good english. I think it would have been nice to have complementary water in the room and maybe some instructions about thevtv streaming and the AC. I think the price was great, the breakfast included quite basic and maybe they could negotiate a bit of fruit into it but it was served fast and coffee was good. I liked the area close to many restaurant options but maybe someone would think it too far from the malecon. Id stay again for any airport trip, its quite close to the salinas guayaquil van shuttle tho not as vlose as the ramada.

We stay at this hotel whenever we are flying out of Guayaquil and also on our return. This is useful to us in easing the stress of travel. Our stay is always pleasant and restful.

It was a good stay for only one night. Not the best neighborhood, but close to the Malecon. The beds were very hard.
