Manso Boutique Guesthouse

Posted by Sissi 11 May 2009

This is a beautiful old guesthouse that has been renovated into a homely boutique hostel.

Lacking the pretension of some boutique bolt-holes, the owners are warm and welcoming and guarantee a laid back and friendly vibe at all times. The rooms are hippie-chic - think huge beds with embroidered cushions, tinkly lanterns and bright yellow walls.

The hostel has a great location on the riverfront, and is right in downtown Guayaquil, perfect for trips down the Guayas River.

Compared to the rest of the hectic town, life is mellow in this hostel - we spent evenings on candelit balconies overlooking the river, and started our day in the restaurant which serves a free breakfast of fresh organic food.
