    I highly recommend this hotel.
    Our stay in early May 2023 for three days was very nice. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They helped to arrange a reliable pick-up from the airport which was around midnight. The restaurant staff were nice, and the food was very good. The room, lobby and restaurant were all kept very clean. The included breakfast was excellent along with the service (different than the evening staff). There was a variety of items – coffee, yummy hot chocolate, fresh fruit, yogurts, breads, along with hot items and you could order a variety of egg dishes made to order. The location was quiet and made it easy to access the Malecon.
    Hello PaulaBrandThank you for your kind review! We're delighted to read that you had a pleasant stay with us. Our friendly and helpful staff take great pride in ensuring a memorable experience for our guests. We're glad you enjoyed our clean facilities, delicious food, and excellent breakfast service.

    Excellent stay at Hotel Palace
    My wife and I did a mandatory 14 day quarantine at the hotel. The hotel staff were extremely helpful. They often went above and beyond, even going to the store to buy anti-dandruff shampoo for us when we needed it. Rooms were clean, everything worked well, internet was fast, hot water, good air conditioning. Room service was excellent and the food was delicious. Thank you!
    Dear Justyn P, Thank you so much for your comments. Best Regards, Mario Vasconez V - Ventas Hotel Palace

    Convenient to the Malecón. Surprisingly good restaurant.
    The hotel is a few blocks from the Malecón and the Cathedral. It's a convenient location if you are staying for just a few days and want to hit highlights. It is a little past its prime but it is clean, well maintained, and has a competent staff. The restaurant was surprisingly good; have the ceviche Jipijapa (which had an almost Thai flavor). It was also open very late, which is great if you arrive at 9 or 10pm and don't want to wander the streets looking for a place to eat. That said, the prices were really high for Ecuador, but moderate by NYC standards. Complementary water in the bathrooms to brush your teeth and chocolates on the night table. Good curtains, which is nice because the sun comes up with a vengence at the equator.
    We are delighted to have offered the comfort you needed for your stay and enjoyment in our restaurant. We wish you had a good return home.

Me and my family stayed in Hotel Palace Guayaquil for two nights in the last days of our month long trip to Ecuador. We chose this place because of its central location and of course also based on good reviews in Tripadvisor. And we were not disappointed. Although the hotel is a bit worn-looking, everything was actually clean and tidy and the service level absolutely impeccable. The receptionists, porters, restaurant personnel - all were very friendly and helpful and made our final days in Ecuador absolutely enjoyable. Thank you! The room was big enough, clean and had a business hotel vibe. Although located in the heart of the central city, it was surprisingly quiet even during the rush hour. The breakfast was good and plenty. What we liked the most was the location - a very short walk away from the Malecon boardwalk, park of the iguanas (a must visit!) and many cafes and restaurants. In 20 minutes you can be on the steps of Las Penas on the northern end of Malecon (getting up to the top is another story :)) so most of the sights in central Guayaquil are really close by. So if you want to enjoy the vibrant city then look no further, Hotel Palace Guayaquil is a great choice. We would definitely go back there.

Located right in the center of downtown - close to all the attractions - next to the main square and about 30 min walk to the porta Anna and les Peña’s. Super friendly staff. Large room with comfortable bed. Very clean. Very fair price. Highly recommended. !

2 nights. June 2023 Hotel seems very nice in pictures. It’s nice but not how it appears. I would compare my room to a holiday Inn. The service is mixed- the good is very good which makes the others stand out for being less than excellent. The breakfast server struggled- but the food was good and he was busy. I’d stay again but I’d be willing to try another place for comparison. Location is excellent once you’re oriented to the city.

The Hotel Palace is lovely. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff is attentive and friendly. I have been coming to Guayaquil since 1998, with the exception of 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic, and I always stay at the Hotel Palace. It is often referred to as our home away from home when I describe it.
