This family run inn is very pleasant and good value for money. It’s about 20-25 min walking to Malecon 2000. I say 20-25 as the traffic can easily slow down the walk! The room was clean and I got my laundry done at a very reasonable price, very quickly. The owner very kindly explained all the best spots on a map to me, helped getting taxis etc and was very helpful, as I don’t speak Spanish. The immediate neighbourhood can feel a little deserted after a while in the eve and there isn’t much in terms of shops, restaurants etc. I was alone so was back about 8pm or so. Breakfast was basic, and hot water at times temperamental, but all in all I’m happy with the service.

Our go to in Guayaquil when enroute.
We stay here 1-2 times per year usually just for a night but up to 3 nights once. It is clean, very affordable, within walking distance of parks, churches, and the malecons along the river. Simple but good breakfast. This is no frills but is to inexpensive to expect frills. When you find something that works, why change?

Prejudice and general discomfort
The owner was rude and rather intrusive about me having my girlfriend star for the night. They may not want the hotel to be seen as a flop house but at the same time, such rudeness and intrusiveness will lose them more than one customer. If your partner is a local to Guayaquil, do yourself a favor and find another place to stay.

Friendly and affordable.
Nice and friendly staff, clean room, the area around is being regenerated but seems a bit rough. We didn't feel in danger at all, the rougher streets are a few blocks away. Would recommend as a place to stay if you're looking for a friendly and affordable hotel though it seems like more of a B&B.

If the bed was better I would give 3 1/2 stars
The room was good and the owner helpful. The only issue my wife and I had is that the mattress was soft and not comfortable. I have a back problem and it took me a half an hour after I got out of bed to walk normal. Breakfast was two rolls, juice, and coffee. I would have enjoyed an egg.

Good for a short stay
Positive experience. Only problem was the shower, its itty bitty. Other than that, no problems. WIFI good, AC worked well, and bed was semi comfy. Best thing is my wife dropped her Passport in the cab on the way there. The cabbie returned at 2 am and woke up the owner to give him our passport. This was above my expectations. Will stay there again.

Good cheap place for an overnight
I was traveling through Guayaquil and only looking for a room for overnight. Checking in was tricky because the reservations were written on a notepad rather than saved on a computer. There was some confusion if I even had a reservation despite my confirmation number. The person at the desk was very concerned and we spent a good while figuring it out; we found my booking only after I realized he did not understand how I pronounced my name as it begins with a "J." Once in the room, we found a room that reminded me of a university dormitory before anybody moves in. Fine for a night, and expected with the price, but still not a place I'd want to spend significant time in. My friend and I had to leave pretty early in the morning for our flight, and the man running the place arranged for a taxi ride for us--surprisingly, the taxi was there waiting for us right when we opened our room door. Overall, not the nicest place, but the man running the place was a great man who truly cared for the people staying in his hotel. Fine for an overnight, but if I were to spend several days in Guayaquil, I would find something closer to the waterfront.

Wonderful owner, so-so area
Let me say, firstly, that I didn't not care for Guayaquil as a city. It was a stopover for me, before the Galapagos. The hotel was run by a kind and helpful family, and it was clean. The neighborhood it was in left quite alot to desire, as it is sketchy and looks unsafe. However, we encountered no problems at all with our safety. The beds are bathroom were clean and the breakfast was very basic (rolls, butter, jam and coffee). If I were to chose to go back to Guayaquil, would I go back to this hotel? Probably not, but...it was affordable and clean, and within walking distance of the center. If this is what is most important to you, please stay with the folks at Hotel Jeshua.

Satisfactory service
Hotel was clean as was the bedroom and bathroom. Everything worked fine. Owner runs it himself and was very courteous and helpful. Is not located in the heart of Guayaquil so it was in a much quieter neighborhood than most hotels in the area.

Secure location with caring owners
Only 15 minutes from the airport and 30 minutes walk to Malecon 2000. excellent location in a safe area with convenient restaurants nearby. Luis, the owner, obviously cares about the safety of his guests and is very helpful. His son, Alex, speaks the most English and ensures that there is no language barrier. Breakfast is simple: bread roll, butter & jam with fruit juice and coffee. This is an intimate hotel which is much more like a B&B with ample opportunity to meet other guests over breakfast. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable. Free WiFi is available throughout.

Best place to stay in Guayaquil
Hotel Jeshua is a fantastic family run place. Spotlessly clean, modern, quiet and safe. Wifi, Cable TV, Hot water and breakfast were all included and were of a high standard. Located about 6-7 blocks from the Malecon and 15 mins from the airport by taxi. The owners made sure that everything we needed was catered for and even booked us a safe cab to take us back to the bus station. If we were ever to return to Guayaquil, we'll definitely stay there again.

Great Service & Price
The staff is beyond helpful, the room is simple but clean, and there is a clean common area with tables you can sit at and use the free wi-fi. There is a bell you can use to awaken staff if you need anything. The reviewers who complained about the security measures just don't understand Guayaquil. Hotels have to provide for security in Ecuadorian cities. A big hotel might have an armed guard. A little hotel like this one can't afford that, so it has good walls and an electric fence. It's to keep staff and guests safe. Not a luxury accommodation, but a clean, safe, well-run little hotel. I recommend highly for someone who needs to stay in Guayaquil at a reasonable cost.

This is a low price basic 1 start hostel, in a not too good neighbourhood. The rooms are OK for the price, but the neighbourhood makes bad imptession, and does not look safe. The hotel has walls to the street with electric wires on the top. Stay there ONLY if you are one or 2 men, and REALLY want to save money.

NICE LITTLE BED & BREAKFAST
This is a small family run Bed & Breakfast. Alex the son speaks English and Spanish. It is in the main part of Guayaquille and is very clean. This would not be somewhere you would stay long term unless you were a backpacker. It was perfect to stay the night we flew in. We got there at 9Pm and left for the coast in the morning. We were served breakfast and left at 10 am. I would stay there again. They were very hosptable. .

Hotel Jeshua: A few blocks from the main street.
Overall the hotel is great. It was remodeled a year ago so it is very nice and clean. The owner is very nice, accommodating, and is easy to deal with. I came in town on a bus and thought I would get in earlier than I did. He didn't charge for the first night I was not there even though I did not cancel 48 hours in advance. He will help out with tourist information and call a cab if needed. The two negatives is I stayed a total of 3 nights and on the last 2 nights the room was not cleaned up as I would have liked. The towels were changed and bed was made but garbage that was obvious was left. Last, the website says they serve breakfast but it was only coffee/tea with a bread roll served with a slice of cheese and jam. Other than that everything was perfect!

An Oasis in a Crazy City
This is a gem of a hotel in a neighborhood I would rather not walk in. Alex, the owner, is very hospitable and helpful. His family lives on the premises and is always available. There was a computer available and wifi. He has very tight security. You get buzzed in and buzzed out. Also breakfast was provided at the time requested. Very simple but filling. Typical breakfast:bread with cheese and marmalade. Coffee and juice. I would definitely come back to Hotel Jeshua.

Great econo hotel
A very clean inn and rooms are like new but small.. Nicely tiled floors, ceiling molding, fan and lites. A/C works great and cold. Bathrooms are fully attractively tiled, like new and quite nice but small. Plenty of hot water, larger than normal soap and shampoo provided. Free drinking water in the small dining/lounge area. Free breakfast is provided but is the same nice big roll, cheese, jam, juice and all the instant coffee you want and filling. Itis tiring after a few days. The owners, Luis and Christina are polite and helpful and their son speaks adequate english and was quite helpful for me. Have been here for a week and staying longer to purchase a car. Avenue Nueve de Octubre is nearby which is one of the main drags and leads down to the Malecon but is a good distance. I walked to the Malecon and the Cerro Santa Ana which offers a great view of the city but is a good climb. Security is tight here with high walls with elect. wires topping them, cameras at the entry gate and guests must be buzzed in and then again into the front door.

squeeky clean
This small hotel is spartan but immaculately clean. The owner is attentive and tailored a tour of the city to match my interests (cementaries, neighborhood remodeling, etc.). Convenient location. The streets themselves, however, are hazardous because there are huge drainage ditches between sidewalk and street the likes of which I had never seen.
