NucaPacha

Top choice in Guayaquil


On a peaceful street in Urdesa, this appealing guesthouse has a pool, patio, and hammocks rimmed by mango and papaya trees and tropical foliage. Some simple rooms have colorful artworks, all have fans. There's also a clean shared kitchen (with filtered drinking water) and free walking tours. The staff are friendly and the price is right. No frills = no air-con!

Washing is $6 per load. Guests should be pet lovers; the hostel has a friendly dog named Nacho.
