Super safe Place. Left our Camper for 8 days in the parking whilst in Galapagos. Make sure you contact them in advance so they can allocate space for you. You can also stay overnight before and after your departure. Shower, toilet and super fast internet.

Nice and safe place to stay and leave your car behind. We parked our camper here for 12 days ( stayed in the car for 3 nights) for our Galapagos trip. Clean bathroom, cold shower ( it fells good in hot weather), good WiFi, convenient location. The owner Wim is super friendly and helpful. He gave us tons of information for Ecuador. Highly recommended!

Very calm and secure place ! Very best option in Guayaquil. You have shower, bathroom and kitchen with fridge. 4$ for Uber to get the city center.

We stay for 3 days we pay 10 dollars a day, 8 days or more, it's 5 dollars a night, when you arrive you hit the gate if they don't answer you, go to the hostel to check in, then someone will take you to the parking lot.

ficamos por 3dias pagamos 10 dólares por dia, 8dias ou mais fica em 5 dolares por noite, quando chegar você bata forte no portão se nao te atenderem vai no hostel para fazer checkin, aí alguém te levará no estacionamento.

great spot! it's a parking lot for this tour company, so it's only busy in the early morning and late night. the rest of the time it's peaceful. the bathroom was very nice and the shower is not heated, but I would still call it comfortably warm. tons of star fruit and jackfruit hanging from the trees. very close proximity to mall del sol which is massive and has one of just about anything. dog friendly. Gandhi, the big German shepherd, is very friendly but very much a puppy still and annoyed our older dogs.

Excelente lugar para estacionar. Es un estacionamiento seguro, Win es muy atento y está disponible para asesorarte en los recorridos o solucionar cualquier inconveniente. Tienes agua, electricidad y baños. Hasta el centro de Guayaquil el taxi cuesta 4 USD. El acceso es rápido por avenidas y calles anchas. No hay dificultad en el tamaño de los vehículos.

Nice, first 7 days 10, then 5 $ per day, just parking or living in the car. No potable water and only simple cold shower in the only toilet. Gandhi, the german shepherd dog, is very nice and very curious...

Stayed here 2 times. Wim the Belgium owner is super friendly. You can use the toilets and showers in his office. And the electricity as well. He can share so much info about routes and activities all over Ecuador. He is a guide himself so that’s probably why. His family owns the hostal macaw. This parking place is only for van parking/sleeping.

We stayed for three weeks on this big parking place and we enjoyed it. The owner and his staff are very friendly and helpful. During this time we stayed for 2.5 Weeks on the Galapagos. Because of this long absence we negotiated to pay 7 USD per night (two persons in a van). The location close to the Mall del Sol is perfect and very safe.

we spent two nights there with a 24 feet RV, ideal for visiting the city, very helpful staff, $10 per night. the doorbell does not work, do not hesitate to knock on the gate.

Genial. Contactamos como storage para ir a galápagos.
Luego por un accidente, tuvimos que volver y nos alojamos durante unos 10 días.
Si buscan amabilidad, no dudes contactar con este sitio.
El propietario habla varios idiomas y es una persona que cualquier pregunta o duda, sin duda, él se la resolverá.
Muy recomendado

Got to agree with the previous comments. Excellent place to park in the city. The surrounding area is probably one of the best.
Good restaurants nearby and a few shopping malls within walking distance.
When we first arrived in the city we went to Pablo's place Guayaquil (+vehicle storage) his prices were all over the place. Dirty toilet and shower, no WiFi or electricity.
Here, wifi, clean toilet and shower, electricity and water. Well worth the $10usd.

As described, super safe parking to leave the car while going to the Galapagos. Also possible to stay in the car and use shower & toilet & wifi. Both option $10 per night (payable in the nearby Macaw Hostal)
Wim Theunis (manager of the bus transport company that uses the parking lot) is VERY friendly and helpful, speaks English, Spanish and even German

Excellent place to stay in Guayaquil. Clean, safety and the reception is the best. They are ready to Help you all time. No problem with big Rigs. Don’t’ forget first you must to go at Macaw Hospedage, to register and they do a contact with the car park (two blocks ahead see in the map). Important: see the photos with The diference between energy plugs (110 and 220 V).

Hello
No more than the other...
Perfect and safe place for your motorhome.
It's a little bit noisy because it's a bus and car parking.
It's ok for the big (we are 8 meters long and 3.7 high)
May be you can find cheaper, but it's a realy safe place and when we was to the galapagos we haven't think to our truck....
Vin is a realy good guy

Cuando llegue me atendieron por una pequeña rejilla donde dicen que la noche vale $60 por persona y solo con reserva, pregunte por el parqueo para el vehículo y no tienen. es falsa este lugar. muy mala atención.

Big, secure and no height limit gravel parking lot of Hospedaje Macaw.
First stop at Macaw (1,5 blocks away) and talk to the people there. They will call the people in charge of the parking and let them know you are coming.

The place is OK for a couple of nights. It has 110 and 220V power plugs, strong and fast WiFi, clean bathroom and cold showers (not THAT cold, but it might be a good idea considering Guayaquil is very hot). The bathroom is inside the little office so after working hours it might be difficult to get in.

We payed 10 usd for 2 people + car.

The place is noisy and they start moving the vans/buses early, so wear ear plugs. Overall, it is a good place to stay.

Parking of the hotel that is also used for buses and vans. The parking is 1.5 blocks away from the hostal. Wifi and 110/220V, but toilet use in the hotel and no shower. Safe, quiet place near large shopping mall and 10 min. from airport. USD 10 (2 adults, camper); this is also the parking fee. We selected the place as parking for our vehicle during a Galápagos trip and stayed before the start of the trip.
