Manso Boutique Guesthouse Reviews

Very nice and friendly staff

My only negative is that i wished i had stayed longer

A nice place right at the Malecon. Expensive but that seems to be the case in Guayaquil. Nice

Great little place for short stay in Guayaquil.

I like the hotel, it's very in a very nice old building but unfortunately the room does not have windows.

Had a 4 bed Dorm with our own Bathroom/Shower just outside of Bedroom area-Was convenient for early rise .

I had a fantastic time staying at Manso! The beds were comfy, everything was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and all for a price you really can't beat. If I come back to Guayaquil, this is where I will be staying.

Excellent service and friendly staff.

Excellent hostel. Good location. Great atmosphere (locals come to the cafe for lunch). I found it easy to meet other travelers. Area (Malecon) is nice and safe. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I found Guayaquil fun and safe and not deserving its bad rep. Security was good with controlled access into hostel. Only minus was no lockers in dorm - a friend had money stollen (likely by another traveller) from her dorm. Also note, dorm 'ensuite' bathrooms are shared with other rooms.

The address was incorrect and when I emailed the hostel for more details they sent me some bullshit map, not at all explaining to me that there are 3 streets named Aguirre and at least 2 named Malecon. Of course I went to the wrong one and when I got to the hostel, there was no apology. Other than that, it's a good place with a good location and good value for money. Hopefully the owners will include the correct address and proper directions.

Located in the best area in Guayaquil, right in front of Malecón 2000. Nice rooms, good air-conditioning, clean beds. A nice option when in the city, specially if you compare to the other options for the same price.

The hostel is overall really great, nice staff, nice location, nice environment, the only thing missing is lockers in the room to put your stuff.

The Manso staff needs to learn about their guests! We were a group of 4 guys, we did not like being starred at in a sexual way from the Gay waiter and gay staff. You guys are supposed to be professional! Uncomfortable coming out of our room, giggles and unwanted sexual glares from the male staff. Unsure if we were at a hostel or at a Gay cruising bar! If we pay for a new room, asking if we wanted to have it cleaned, is rude and again unprofessional. Manso looks nice, but not worth the time.
