8/10 Very good

Great atmosphere and character
Staying at Cino Fabiani Guesthouse was one of many pleasant memories of our two nights in Guayaquil. We loved the atmosphere, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location in the Las Penas neighborhood was super. The guesthouse is furnished in an eclectic and retro style, and the main common room has served as a small theatre in the past, so has the remnants of a stage. There is indeed a theatrical feel to the space. The location is in a historic neighborhood that is super for walking, and accessible to the hilltop where you can gain a sweeping view of the city and river. It is also near a sort of urban renewal area along the river where we found some good restaurants. It is only a ten-minute taxi ride from the airport. The guesthouse is not air-conditioned, and bathrooms are shared, so maybe it would not suit everyone, but my husband, son, and I were glad that we stayed at this lodging.
