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.

A very charming little place, a lot of history, right in the middle of a colonial old town. Inside the building a lot of history, of their owners 100 years ago. I will recommended 100 % . Many many places to eat, dance and karaoke. Around here….You don’t need to go out of this area to find fun.

My room was perfect. Clean, great views, comfortable bed. Bathroom was perfect- water pressure and temperature perfect. The owner is doing a wonderful job at maintaining the historic building while keeping it modern. Staff was so delightful. Jaime went above and beyond to help me sort out my path for exploring around the area and set up transportation for me. Ordered in for dinner from the restaurant down the street and that was easy and so delicious. I hope to visit again soon!

Great choice in Guayaquil

The building is a gorgeous family mansion bountifully furnished with chandeliers and other period pieces. Breakfast was simple but made to order. The location was excellent, with artists' galleries and a variety of restaurants nearby . The staff were quick to respond to any requests we made. The immediate area had enough security such that we could relax and enjoy a stroll along the riverfront.We enjoyed having a glass of wine on the large front balcony with gorgeous tall palms framing the river view.

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful Historical Hotel

This is our first and second nights ever in Ecuador-Guayaquil. It’s located in a very historical and touristy neighborhood with art shops and security guards. The room is very beautiful with floor windows overseeing the river and iguanas on the tree across the street. They also have a nice terrace on the third floor to hangout. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for experiencing Guayaquil.
