What guests think
At Hotel Las Peñas, travellers highlight the central location near the Malecón and downtown sights and frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff, while noting that the property feels older with some maintenance wear.
Cleanliness feedback varies from very clean rooms to reports of worn linens or dirty spaces. Breakfast is generally simple with limited variety and a later start, and several guests note the hotel lacks a generator during city power cuts. Some reviews mention street noise and an area that feels less comfortable to walk at night. Overall, it suits travellers seeking a straightforward base in the city.

El peor hotel que jamás me había hospedado , no había agua caliente para bañarse y el aire acondicionado no enfriaba bien, además el desayuno siempre era el mismo todas las mañanas , Un desastre total.

Overall , It is a great place to stay for holidays. However, I think it’s not convenient for business trips . 1. No ironing-board. 2. No a restaurant to have dinner or a drink 3. Breakfast is served at 7.30 ( too late) and no many options. 4. Poor internet signal.

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.

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.

Clean and safe, centrally located. Good value compared to adjacent options. Staff is professional and eager to accommodate. My request to change rooms due to noise was quickly honored. The front desk was also happy to provide extra blankets. A/C works well as does the hot water. Special thanks to Jackeline. She was always quick to greet with a smile and made herself available to patiently answer questions. She was friendly and efficient and takes her job seriously. She went out of her way to arrange cheap transport to Cuenca. She is knowledgeable and helpful. This hotel is my first choice when staying in central Guayaquil for logistics and overall value.

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.

We are repeat guests as we stay here on our way to and from the airport for a pre and post flight break. Property is in downtown Guayaquil in "the heart of the city" as they so proudly state. It is convenient to the airport, the Malecon and the Air Tran. We find the hotel convenient and feel safe walking around the city. The staff are always courteous and helpful.

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.

Es un hotel céntrico, pero alrededor es un poco inseguro y sucio. La atención del personal no es tan mala pero tampoco es muy buena.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dining
Breakfast is basic or continental with limited variety; some guests liked the coffee or food, while others wanted more options or an earlier start time. A single review mentions a restaurant, so broader on-site dining details are unclear.

El peor hotel que jamás me había hospedado , no había agua caliente para bañarse y el aire acondicionado no enfriaba bien, además el desayuno siempre era el mismo todas las mañanas , Un desastre total.

Overall , It is a great place to stay for holidays. However, I think it’s not convenient for business trips . 1. No ironing-board. 2. No a restaurant to have dinner or a drink 3. Breakfast is served at 7.30 ( too late) and no many options. 4. Poor internet signal.

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.

Hotel Las Peñas, a simple 2 or 3 star hotel. I was given a windowless room. It didn't bother me. The hotel is centrally located with an abundant commercial area. Makes it a big plus. The breakfast, included in the price was of scramble eggs, 4 small pieces of bread, a choice of 5 different natural juices and coffee. Good enough for me. Many thanks to the servers, Aurelio and Wellington for their fantastic service. Not only to me but also to the other guests. My room was spacious. The only thing missing was a night lamp. I didn't like the shower head. You can't adjust it. The wifi was shoddy. Lots of buffering. The reason may be the password is for everyone in the hotel. The A/C was great! The staff was wonderful. Always courteous and helpful. I don't know if the staff speaks English. I interacted with them in spanish. Overall I'm very happy with my stay and yes I will comeback. Thank you Hotel Las Peñas.

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.
