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.

Excelente. La casa al ser antigua es muy bella. Tiene un balcon de uso comun con vista al río precioso. Es precioso el hotel, la arquitectura y el diseño de interiores te transporta a otro siglo por lo bello que es. Antiguo, pero no se siente viejo ni anticuado, sino histórico. La habitacion que nos asignaron tenia una entrada de luz natural. En resumen, mas instalaciones son preciosas. El personal fue muy amable y estuvieron pendientes de cualquiera de nuestras necesidades. El desayuno era muy bueno y completo, suficiente para que explores la ciudad todo el dia hasta encontrar un sitio donde almorzar. La ubicacion es muy estrategica para poder visitar Las Peñas, el Cerro Santa Ana y el Malecón 2000. Definitivamente volveriamos a ir.

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!

Acogedor, tranquilo con hermosa vistas e interiores lleno de pinturas y recuerdos del Guayaquil del ayer; con un equipo excelente, amable y cariñoso.

The place was quiet and offered a different experience. I loved it.

Beautifully maintained historial property along the riverfront. Staff was extra attentive. The only downside was no on site parking. Had to park several blocks away. Overnight parking was free but had to get up early every morning to pay for parking.

Unique old hotel But degrading It is for sale

Very cute boutique hotel with excellent staff

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The woman that checked in my wife and I was pleasant, did a great job of informing us of hotel policies and helping us feel very welcomed.

Nice colonial architecture and great service and location.

We loved this hotel. From their cheerfulness when we arrived at 3 in the morning to their helpfulness about booking cabs and restaurants to the charming decor everything was perfect.
