Guayaquil

With more than 400 years old, Las Peñas was the first neighborhood of Guayaquil, which took its name from the cliffs and limestone rocks that formed the Hill back then when the Spanish settled in the XV century. In 1982 the neighborhood was declared Cultural Heritage of Ecuador.

Great hotel, great staff really good location. We unexpectedly got a complementary upgrade to a suite which made it even better given how little we paid for the room. Even without the upgrade if I were going back to that area, I would stay there in the heartbeat.
