Holiday Inn Guayaquil Airport, an IHG Hotel

The hotel itself is in a great location - walking distance from the airport (there is a shuttle available as well if you don't want to walk). The welcome drink was delicious & we found every staff member from the security officers to the front desk to the restaurant staff to be super friendly & helpful. The rooms were clean & the beds were comfortable. You cannot hear the noise from the airport. We ate dinner in the restaurant & the drinks/food were delicious. We also had breakfast included within our stay & the breakfast buffet was excellent. There were so many choices from pastries to Ecuadorian food to fruit to juice & had coffee/tea service. We had an early flight and couldn't stay long but was not expecting such a full on display of delicious things. I especially enjoyed the encebollado & the banana cake. The water features were a nice touch to the lobby. We did not use the gym or pool as we were staying overnight here on our way back from the galapagos but those also looked very nice. We slept very well before our international flight. Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Guayaquil on a layover from the airport. Would stay here again if we pass through the city.

The room was well above average with slippers and a robe on the bed, tile on the floor, high water pressure, a nice amenity kit with toothpaste, shave kit etc. Sheets were a good quality and the AC was responsive. The floors are tile, which is nice. I booked a free shuttle, and the driver was waiting with a clearly printed sign even though my flight was 2 hours late. Looking at a map, it may appear that it is an easy walk to the hotel. While it is not very far (~500m) It would be a challenge with bags. Much better to take their free shuttle. I highly recommend this place!

We needed to stay overnight between flights and I was very nervous given the city's reputation. The hotel is by far your safest option for short term stays, it is 2-300 meters from the terminal, you can easily walk it if you don't have luggage, the hotel entrance is just by the security checkpoint, so all safe. We took the complimentary hotel shuttle, had someone waiting for us in the terminal. They have a dedicated entrance/exit in the airport parking so the transfer takes 2 minutes. Swimming pool was nice and you have a nice view of planes coming in to land. Room was clean and with all amenities you would expect.

Chose this hotel for its proximity to the airport and safety, and it exceeded expectations. The hotel shuttle was waiting with a sign upon our arrival and whisked us to the hotel in under a minute. They have a private entry directly from the hotel property to the airport, making it incredibly convenient and secure. We're so glad we didn't cancel our Galapagos trip due to crime concerns. This modern hotel, with its helpful staff and nice restaurant/bar, left us wanting for nothing. It was a great value, too! For anyone worried about safety in Guayaquil or just looking for a comfortable and convenient stay before or after a flight, I highly recommend this Holiday Inn. It's a perfect solution for peace of mind and a restful night's sleep.

I loved this hotel. The bed was so comfortable I did not want to leave it! The room service was quickly served and delicious. The bathroom was well equipped and there was coffee in the room. The staff went out of their way to assist us with everything we needed. The room was spotless and the pool was nice and warm.
