Nazu City Hostel

Guayaquil


This newish offering along the Malecón across from Cine Guayaquil, close to the nightlife in Santa Ana, is run by the same folks who have a pricier hotel in Urdaneta. Dorms are a good deal, and the kitchen is ample and tidy. A hip bar area offers some shared comfort and beers at night, coffee and tea during the day.
