“Clean, well maintained hotel near the airport”

While nothing luxurious, this is a clean, secure hotel to stay at and the hotel staff is helpful and kind. In addition, it is relatively reasonable and is not far from the airport. Also, the Bus Rapid Transit terminal (Rio Daule) is about 10-15 minutes on foot and buses go from there to the downtown for only US0.25.

“good budget hostal”

This hostal is hard to find and is in an iffy neighborhood, but it is cheap and decent with a restaurant and off street parking.
