This is my second review. The first was written practically hours before my second trip to Ecuador. I was to stay in this guest house for the second time. I thought that all had been checked - the hostal, the pick up driver, etc.I thought those people reliable, which is why I booked my second stay and made sure that... More

We found them on Trip Advisor, so we're giving back. Stay here! Private, secure, and reasonably priced taxi service to / from the airport was a huge attraction. Ask for Filipe. The husband-wife-baby team that runs the hotel is adorable. Their rooms are classy, clean, and well air-conditioned, but there were some ants and cracks on the walls (common in... More

A very nice place with cool people, clean rooms, close to the airport. We stayed there twice before and after going to Galapagos. With taxi drive we could visit the centre of Guayaquil and also get the airport. I liked the triple room the most!!! I can recommend this place surely!!!

Stayed just for one night prior to going to the Galapagos. Rooms were beautiful and had a king sized bed. Staff were incredibly helpful, great advice and service. Would not hesitate recommending this place. It is hard to find. If you ask to go to the Sana Sana pharmacy on Sauces 2. When looking at the pharmacy there is a... More

Search no further because Tabuba is a great spot! The couple running the hostel is super helpful - definitely going out of their way. Jaime (the dueno) is willing to help out at all hours with everything that you need and is concerned about your safety. We paid a bit extra for the airport pickup w Felipe but it was... More

We spent 45 minutes in a taxi after 10 hours in the air, and even after the taxi driver getting out of the car twice to ask for directions, radio-ing and driving in circles, we finally gave in and had to find somewhere else. Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but a city known for being fairly unsafe... More

Stayed here on my final night in Ecuador and wished I'd stayed at the start too instead of Manso Hostal at double the price in town. The owners are v welcoming and we were able to convey everything bn the little Spanish and English we both had. They even arranged a driver/taxi to take me to the mall (not my... More

We stayed at this guest house last night and it was great. We got a taxi from the bus station which is only 10mins away and cost $3. The room was spotlessly clean with AC, a flat screen TV, bathroom with a bath and the biggest bed I have ever seen! The only negative is that the road outside was... More

I am about to make my second reservation for this B&B. So, it is about time that write about my first experience, which was very pleasant. Why else would I be staying the second time? :)) The owners are reliable and pleasant, though they do not speak English and somebody else answers their email. But emails are answered, reservations are... More

We booked on Tabuba's website, a double room for $44.60 including breakfast. Pickup from the airport cost $10 extra, which was pricey for there (it was less than 10 minutes from the airport) but return to the airport, or in our case, to a bus depot, was$4.00.We arrived into Guayaquil very late at night due to a canceled flight ,...
