Unique Breakfast Experience

“I enjoyed the breakfast at Hotel Doral, even though it had a unique twist. The menu changes daily, but I found comfort in the consistent American and Ecuadorean options. The American breakfast included eggs, toast, juice, and fruit, while the Ecuadorean breakfast was a good introduction to local cuisine. It was neat how the waiter served hot milk, which you could mix with Nescafe from the pot on the table.” view full review

Comfortable Stay

The daily provision of bottled water was particularly helpful in the warm climate of Guayaquil.” view full review

Hotel Doral offers a solid stay in the heart of Guayaquil (I was right near everything I wanted to see!), but the hotel does feel a bit worn in places. My experience with the staff was great, although I did encounter a few issues with WiFi that could use improvement. Breakfast was decent, but it would be nice to see more variety.

The facilities, such as laundry service and a city shuttle, were useful, but the limited dining options were a drawback.

My stay at Hotel Doral was pleasant, as it met and somewhat exceeded my expectations based on reviews. The location was fantastic, allowing me to walk to attractions like the Malecón and Isla Santay. However, the hotel itself felt a bit worn and could use some improvements, particularly in the breakfast offerings.

Rooms

7.0

The room was spacious and included a mini fridge, which I appreciated. However, it was quite dusty, especially the air conditioner, which I felt uncomfortable using. The flat-screen TV had plenty of cable channels, which was a nice touch.

Service

8.0

The staff was friendly and spoke better English than I spoke Spanish, which was helpful. They were always willing to assist me with any questions I had, although I noticed the food portions were on the smaller side.

Location

The location of Hotel Doral was perfect for my short stay in Guayaquil. It was within walking distance to major attractions like Iguana Park and the Malecon, making it ideal for exploring the city.

Dining

6.0

While the breakfast was simple, it wasn't quite what I expected for the price. The eggs seemed like they had been cooked long before and had dried out. Despite this, the location made it easy to find better dining options nearby.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities included laundry and a paid city shuttle, which I found convenient. However, overall, I’d give the facilities a lower rating as they felt somewhat basic.

I found my stay at Hotel Doral to be quite pleasant, as it met my expectations and even exceeded them in some areas. The location is excellent, being just a short walk away from the Malecón and other attractions. However, the hotel does show signs of wear, and there were some minor issues with the WiFi during my visit. Overall, it's a good choice for those seeking a central spot in Guayaquil without breaking the bank.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were unremarkable but clean, featuring a flat-screen TV with plenty of cable channels. They had a basic, slightly run-down aesthetic, just enough for a place to relax or work.

Service

7.0

I found the service to be really nice. The staff was kind and tried to address minor problems, though there were issues with the phone in my room during my entire stay.

Location

10.0

The location is excellent for moving about Guayaquil, as it’s right downtown and close to the Iguana Park. I give it a perfect 5 out of 5 for location since everything is nearby.

Dining

5.0

Dining could definitely improve; it felt minimal and the portions were quite small. Breakfast consisted of little more than a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and juice that was more water than fruit.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were basic but met my needs. They offered services like laundry and a paid city shuttle, which was convenient, although I expected a bit more.

My stay at Hotel Doral exceeded my expectations in many ways, especially considering its great location. The staff were really friendly and helpful, but the hotel itself felt a bit worn. While I appreciated the comfort of my bed and the shower, I think they could definitely improve the breakfast options with more fresh fruits.

Rooms

8.0

My room was spacious with a nice shower and a living area that was separated by a sliding door. However, I also noticed that some areas may have been a bit dark and could use more natural light.

Service

The staff were amazing—really friendly and eager to help with whatever I needed. They did mention that I was paying for the type of room, and I can see how that affects the overall experience.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is perfect—just a short walk to Iguana Park and the beautiful Malecón. I loved being in the center of it all, but it's worth noting that I felt a bit uneasy walking around at night.

Dining

5.0

Dining was probably the weakest part of my stay. The pre-set menu was limited and felt lackluster, with just a ham and cheese sandwich and some poor quality juice.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel offers a few useful facilities like laundry and a paid city shuttle, but nothing too impressive overall.

I found the dining options to be pretty bland, only offering a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and poor-quality juice and coffee. It could definitely use much better quality and variety.
