Accommodations
• Iguanazú Hostal
Manzana 1 Villa 2 Carlos Julio Arosemana, north of Miraflores
$-$$
Iguanazú is the best budget option in Guayaquil, as the cheaper ones aren't worth the dif-
ference. Like a private villa turned bed and breakfast, Iguanazú mixes comfort with ex-
clusivity. Rooms are bright and squeaky clean, and the view of Guayaquil from the out-
door pool is a plus. You might want to splurge on the luxurious suites.
•
Manso Boutique Hostal
Malecón 1406 and Aguirre street
$$
Manso adds an arty spin on the traditional hostel, creating a cultured ambience from the
common areas to the sleek rooms. They host flea market-cum-mixers where local artists
sell their recycled art and accessories to travelers and friends. The main draw is its central
location directly across from the Malecón 2000.

Hotel Casa Boutique
Francisco de P. Icaza and General Córdova
$$
Chic rooms and close proximity to attractions in town make this mid-range option an easy
choice, especially if you're just stopping over for a night on the way to the Galápagos. Air
conditioning, WIFI and laundry service are all offered at the hotel.
