**Amazing one-night stay that turned into two! Highly recommend Casa Michael in Guayaquil ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** I stayed at **Casa Michael** for what was supposed to be just one night, but I ended up rebooking immediately because I loved it so much. The place feels more like a home than a hostel. The atmosphere is super relaxed and welcoming – I had some of the best conversations with fellow travelers and the people there. Everyone was genuinely nice and friendly, which made my short stay in Guayaquil really enjoyable. I slept incredibly well; the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet despite being in a convenient part of the city. The surrounding area in Alborada is excellent – plenty of shops, places to eat, and everything you need for essentials within easy walking distance. It also felt safe and calm. A special shoutout to the staff, especially **Vanessa** – she was fantastic, helpful, and made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The whole team clearly puts a lot of care into making guests feel welcome. The only tiny thing missing (in my opinion) is a jacuzzi to relax even more after a long day of traveling – but honestly, that’s a small suggestion and doesn’t take away from how great the experience was overall. If you’re passing through Guayaquil, whether for one night or more, definitely stay here. I’d come back in a heartbeat! --- Feel free to copy-paste it as is, or let me know if you want a shorter version, a more formal tone, or any small changes. Enjoyed your stay, Michael! Sounds like a lovely spot. ?

location good,hot shower, clean toilet, kitchen,the staff Silvia was helpful and nice to me ,bed was good ,internet good but not fast but ok .

It was okay but it felt like a jail

Comfy bed in private room and had a kitchen. Just a 20 min walk to/from the airport.

The neighbourhood was quiet, with a nice tranquil park situated right in front of the house. There was a gym and many restaurants along the main avenue, three blocks away. Their wireless Internet connection worked rather well.

Good for airport

Someone was available to let me in, as my flight arrived very late.

Good value

I appreciated the location and it being close to the airport. I was also glad that someone was available to check me in.

Close to bus terminal and airport got a short stay. Area is very safe, large grocery store nearby

Good location near the airport. They have storage service if you want to go to Galápagos Islands without taking all of your luggage.

Not familiar with the city yet but the space is comfortable and the staff gladly calls the cabs to come to the hostal to take you to the bus terminal and airport, and no doubt wherever else you might want to go. Good value. Safe neighbourhood. Supermarket and many food stands at night about 10 minute walk from the hostal. Will stay again when I come through Guayaquil.

Close to airport, walking distance | several good grocery stores, walking distance | quiet, residential neighborhood (nicer than Centro) | solid WiFi | functional kitchen | hot shower & soap | small lockers to secure valuable items | clean and quiet, pleasant staff | dorm room #7 had AirCon (greatly appreciated at night) | can take #89 bus to visit malecon ($0.30) | thank you!

Located in secured neighbourhood with a small park opposite the property with trees & chirping birds. A sort walk to the supermarket, fast foods & shops. Straightforward check in with partly covered patio with table tennis table a star fruit tree surrounded with ornamental plants where for lounging or working. WiFi is working well. A well equipped kitchen. I was assigned in a 6 dorm bed with comfortable bed with aircon & valuable storage. Shared bathroom & hot water. Lucy & her assistant were helpful & friendly. And very good value for budget travelers. Highly recommended.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Aircon in room. Towel & soap provided.

Beautiful space. Not crowded at the time so small kitchen space not a problem.

Quiet, clean, comfortable

Great lowkey hostel probably the best backpacker hostel in Guayaquil not too far from the airport and a small bus ride to the mall Very safe neighborhood in a gated community It's alway the place Im going back to

I stay at this place often when I travel through the city because it is consistently a pleasant stay. this day was no different. this location is convenient to the bus terminal, the airport, and bussetta services.
