Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel del Parque

Excellent

Beautiful overnight stay. Thoroughly enjoyed dinner at Casa Julian, the comfortable room, gym, breakfast and the airport shuttle service, as well as the environment in the historic park. Great service.

Superb hotel, very safe location outside of Guayaquil, but convenient to be a tourist in Guayaquil. Lovely room, fantastic staff.

Second stay - loved every thing about the hotel

Great property in an convenient location

This is a truly great small hotel. The property and staff are fabulous! The room and breakfast are both outstanding. We had dinner at the companion business, Casa Julian. Very good food prepared well and served. Definitely will be back

Very secluded. We had a dinner at the restaurant and it was excellent. The hotel staff was excellent. Breakfast was excellent.

Great hotel

What an unexpected surprise it was to discover a Relais & Chateaux property in gritty, industrialized Guayaquil! It is by far the most expensive hotel in the city, but after experiencing the sumptuous accommodations, fine dining, serene setting, and gracious hospitality firsthand, the rates are certainly justified. The hotel’s location is both its strong suit and its drawback. It is just fifteen minutes from the airport, which is super convenient for the majority of guests who are just using Guayaquil as a jumping-off point to the Galapagos. It’s a 20-minute taxi ride from the city, in a suburb called Samborondon, so it is quiet and safe. The hotel is promoted as being situated inside Parque Colonial, but as a park or a public garden…it is bleak and rundown. There are few flowers in bloom, the greenery is overgrown, and the paths are in need of repair. There are some dusty old buildings with creepy mannequins inside attempting to recreate colonial times, but it’s crudely executed. We didn’t bother going into the zoo, as from what we could see through the trees, it too has been neglected. Our room was huge and exceptionally comfortable, with 12-foot ceilings and two televisions. Room service is fantastic too. Hotel Del Parque is the jewel of Guayaquil. I highly recommend splurging on a stay here for those who want to begin (or end) their trip to the Galapagos in style, or those who want to experience Guayaquil from a cocoon of luxury and world-class hospitality.

Beautiful hotel, friendly and attentive staff, safe & quiet.

Great hotel and safe in the neighborhood of Sanborondon. Safe gated entry to the park and areas around the hotel. I stay with a girlfriend and felt pretty safe. The restaurant is walking distance and the views are beautiful ❤️

Quiet. Beautiful grounds. GREAT food at Casa Julian.

In Guayaquil, we always stay at the Parque. The staff is friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful, attached to a National Park. The restaurant on grounds is good but expensive. They do have a second option of an outdoor cafe/restaurant on grounds that has excellent food and service that os more reasonable. The area is very safe and many nights we walked to the food court that has multiple, delicious restaurants as well as the mall area with great choices too!

Hotel acogedor, buena decoración. Podrían mejorar la atención en recepción.

This hotel is in a beautiful historic building and lovely rooms. The staff were helpful but it was a bit isolated with difficulties in getting transport to visit things. The food was disappointing at the connected restaurant but better in the pretty courtyard. The staff were helpful in finding me tea bags!

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! It’s a renovated hospice and every detail has been attended to. The showers were large and wonderful! The staff is courteous and friendly. Everything is very up to date and the entire property is very clean. The morning buffet is 5 star and so is the adjoining restaurant. Be sure to check out the beautiful chapel in the hotel! Also the hotel is right next door to a National Park with live animals. Definitely would stay again!

Wonderful place to stay. The rooms are spacious, staff is helpful and the area around hotel is lush and quiet. Would stay again.

Unique? Yes. Room very dark and all very old fashioned. Animals in park have no room to move. The pens are the size of match boxes. Not good for the animals.

The hotel is wonderful ! Staff is super polite and friendly, I highly recommend it! Beautiful place, gorgeous setup !

Loved the fact that the hotel was so isolated and was "connected" to the nature park. The restaurant (for dinner) was excellent, and the hotel buffet (for breakfast) was as well. The staff was all extremely attentive, too.
