Guayaquil Hotels - Reviews and Rates

You've heard this before - I have sworn off overnight bus trips. Trouble is, sometimes it's the only bus that's available! Damn! I looked into flying from Chiclayo to Guayaquil but it was $550! No way. So...bought my ticket for the 8 pm bus. Chiclayo has a number of bus lines and stations and many quality buses. none of them go to Ecuador howev...

So today I woke up nice and early to catch an earlyish bus from Cuenca to Guayaquil. Got up around a quarter to seven, had a nice shower, said goodbye to James, and walked down to the bus station. I was able to get a bus ticket for seven bucks, which left at right around 9am. The views along the way were really beautiful. I tried to take some de...

Fractious nights sleep because we have to wake up at 4.30 to catch the bus. The supposedly superior CLP bus but it still plays interminable (oh corazon) music. Uneventful journey arriving in rush hour. Thousands of soldiers line the main approach road. Has Peru delared war on Ecuador again? We dont hang around to find out as an unseemly scramble...

Woensdag 4 juni 2008 Cuenca hebben we vandaag ingeruild voor Guayaquil. De rit duurde 4u door de bergen en zelfs weer boven de wolken. Guayaquil ligt op zeeniveau, dus hoe meer we de stad naderden, hoe meer we de tropische warmte konden voelen. Wat een verschil met Cuenca! We hebben hier in Guayaquil een proper hostel gevonden in de vorm van Hos...

What a painfull day this was... set off from Mancora by bus for an 8 hour journey to Guayaquil in Ecuador... Good luck with that. Was on the bus with ben and nick two guys i had met in the hostel and as we went to change bus in Tumbes near the border... there was no ongoing bus for us... so a 2 hour delay ish. The three of us headed into town fo...

The journey from Riobamba to Guayaquil took us from the highlands of Ecuador to the Pacific Lowlands. Both the scenery and the climate becoming more tropical and humid along the way. The wooden verandahed houses in the villages toward Guayaquil reminded us of similar scenes in Belize. We arrived at the most disorganised bus station yet. Our bus ...

Leaving all the friends we made in the City of Panama (mainly at the hostel) really was saddening, but knowing we would be in Ecuador in a matter of hours was exciting as hell. We couldn't contain ourselves at the airport, laughing and being loud like we were prepubescent school girls. As we left the city the rain began to poor, as if it was cle...

Tues 20th - Thurs 22nd Feb. Equador´s 2nd biggest city, but we´d heared it wasn´t that nice so I only spent two nights there. Got a trip room in a really nice hotel for E6 each which waddn´t bad. The newly refurbished riverfront promenade is really nice too... Then splashed out $60 on a bus from Guyaquil to Lima. Most neighbouring South American...

Ecuador 2 Poland 0! 29 bus- hours later we arrived in Guayaquil, Ecuadors largest city. We got ripped off in the taxi from the bus station to the hostel, $4 when it should have been $1! The hostel was a bit of a dump but we just needed a bed for the night. We went for an amazing meal in a famous steak house and Bob had the biggest T-Bone steak i...

Our plane made its initial attempt to land in Lima at around 10:40pm on Wednesday, but aborted the landing because of thick fog. Instead, we flew around a bit, and then they took us up to a town called Chiclayo (I mistakenly wrote Trujillo to some of your before) to refuel and figure out what to do. We sat there for about 5 hours, I guess, befor...
