Close to Guayaquil airport
The hotel was clean. I never figured out the hot water, so took cold shower. Don't know if there wasn't any hot water or I didn't wait long enough for it to be hot. Hotel staff not very friendly. Breakfast was scrambled egg w/ white toast and coffee. Milk for coffee was curdled. We paid $66. The hotel didn't have our reservation, so I was glad to have reservation printed out from internet. The cost of rooms at the desk was slightly higher. It was not worth the $66.00 paid, but it was not bad.

We arrived at Murali and were met by the manager/owner and he told us the hotel was renovating and it would be noisy so we would be moving to another property at the same price. Their driver took us to the Hotel Guayaquil, which was in a better area close to restaurants. We stayed there one night and it worked out fine. I can’t really review Miraly’s actual property because we didn’t stay there.
i was disappointed to be charged a fee to be transported to the hotel from the airport since the booking information on Orbitz clearly stated a free, one-way airport transfer.
We Have been staying here for the past 7years .coming in to country and leaveing country. You cant ask for better Management & staff. Attentive, polite,good food for breakfast. Need help renting vehicle just ask. Close to. Shopping and food.
Es un lugar cómodo con lo indispensable. Limpio y ordenado.

Lost reservation
When we arrived at the Murali (which is a challenge to find, to say the least) we were told that our online reservation made through Hotels.com was not received by the Murali, and they were full. They offered to find us another hotel,but we decided to find one on our own, which we did in the same area. We've stayed at the Murali before without any problems.

The place was nice but they need more friendly workers.
close to the airport (5 min walk, $1.5 by regular taxi, or $5 by hotel taxi). Nice staff with limited english-speaking skills. They served us an early breakfast for our early morning flight. The rooms are small but they have hot water and central AC. they also have a refrigerator.
Difícil llegar, la mayoría de los taxis no lo ubican, el servicio es elemental, no cuenta en la cercanía con un lugar donde si quiera tomar una gaseosa y el hotel no cuenta con un mínimo servicio de cantina.
Si bien la atención del personal fue correcta estaba fuera de sus posibilidades dar respuesta a los inconvenientes ( el aire acondicionado de la habitación NO funcionaba y la misma no contaba con ninguna ventilación. Por suerte la estadía solo fue de una noche.
MUY ELEVADO COSTO EN RELACIÓN AL SERVICIO QUE OFRECE
When I arrived I was informed that they changed me to other Hostal whitout prior advice, because Muralli Hostal Guayaquil has no vacancy, though I had confirmed my reservation. They offered free breakfast but I have to return paying taxi the next morning, because the other Hostal have no restaurant. One positive thing: they returned me one lost thing I remain at the room. They still have to improve a lot to give good quality of service to customers.
Bien las instalaciones en gral, pero pobre servicio: nada de comidas (ni máquinas expendedoras), en una zona no muy atractiva para salir. Válido solo por la cercanía del aeropuerto y terminal de omnibus.
The staff were friendly and the room was spacious compared to other hostels we have stayed in. The bathroom was also large and everything seemed clean. The breakfast was also good. There was a man sort of hanging out there that apparently was a taxi driver, and when we were ready to leave in the morning, he took us to the van company to catch our ride to Cuenca. When we arrived at the desk of the van company my husband realized that he had dropped his wallet in the taxi. The lady at the desk called back to Murali and told them the story. Within 5 minutes the driver was back to us with the wallet, all contents intact. We were very lucky he hadn't had a fare after us, but we felt very fortunate to have encountered such an honest person after what we had read about taxi drivers in Guayaquil.
