It is nice to come to a hotel that meets and somewhat exceeds expectations (i.e. what we read on internet and reviews).
The hotel is a bit worn but this was as well expected. Personnel really kind. Walking distance to Malecón and for us (that like walking) also to Isla Santay.
If I can recommend some improvements I would suggest more fresh fruits for breakfast.
A price worthy hotel choice for central Guayaquil.

Perfect location

As I mentioned in my previous review, this hotel wins big on location and friendliness. That said, the wifi has VASTLY improved since my last stay and I got 15 mbps up and 20mbps down, take that, Hilton!

Stayed again, getting better

Location and service was great, but many desk workers only spoke Spanish. Being very close to the Malecon area and tourist attractions was convenient and safe. The condition of the hotel needs updating. There was a full time handy man and he seemed to be working on projects daily, but the hotel seemed 2.5 stars at most. The lobby area was small and had limited amenities, just water and instant coffee.  Hotel wi-fi was spotty and inconsistent. The bedroom was spacious enough for three beds, but the bathroom was tiny. A small sink, toilet and shower only. Not like the pics -- probably the suite bathroom is in the photos. The shower was very narrow and had poor water flow. The complimentary shampoo was sample sizes of head and shoulders for men. Seriously.One of our rooms had a fridge but the other did not. The one without a fridge had a dresser. It was air conditioned which is not standard in Ecuador, so a plus. No coffee maker or iron in the room. Hotel provided a bottle of water each day. The stay included breakfast was delicious, but served cafeteria tray style. Take some of everything since there are no seconds, and you may not know which dishes you will like unless you're a native. Again, the location and service was great, but it is not a 3.5 star hotel.

2.5 star, maybe -- location is the main feature

+ A big room+ A free water bottle+ A fridge- I waited around 20 minutes to order my breakfast, but no possibility, because around 28-30 other guests where there, too. I left the room and will pay on my own later on somewhere else in the city breakfast. Two members of the stuff were absolutely to less for so many guests!- The water in my room (5.th floor) was cold, no chance that it changed to a warm water so i had to shower cold. Thanks for such a nice start in my sunday!- The concierge tried to ask for 10 dollar more when i made my check-inn. My sum was on her screen, i saw it, but she asked for more money but i discussed and told her, that expedia told me another price. After 2 minutes she gave me the price, for which i booked this hotel! Such a shame, that she asked for more money!- There was no remote control for the air conditioner in my room.- The bed is broken i think, it makes a lot of sounds when you move on it or sit on it.

One night in Hotel doral at the weekend

Hotel is good for sleeping in the inner city of Guayaquil, a typical small breakfast for this country is included and the staff is very helpful. They can call taxis, but it is better to ask before prices, because they gave me once a taxi driver who took much more money from me than usual taxi because i was not an Ecuadorian, so take care and ask before of costs and take maybe another taxi.

The hotel is a bit tired and shabby but it was adequate for what we needed and the aircon worked. Staff varied between super friendly and not so, but all spoke excellent English. Wifi was a bit more tricky on 2nd floor and kept having to have the router restarted. The room was fine and comfortable and even though we were right above the busy street, the beeping of cars horns stopped overnight and didn't start again until about 6.45am. Breakfast was slightly weird even by Ecuadorean standards as the menu came round every day but no matter what you ordered you got the same thing. The waiter serves hot milk and you put Nescafe in the cup from a pot on the table. That caught a few people out! The main challenge is to find somewhere to eat that is not the Intercontinetal Hotel and not a fast food cafe or takeaway. Tricky, but we found a seafood place on the Malecon which was rather expensive but ok and Subway for lunchtime which was the least greasy option.

Close to city centre attractions and Malecon

Awesome, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and don't even get me started on the food. The Hotel Doral is the best place to stay in El Centro - it's near EVERYTHING! You need no car and rarely will need a cab to access any of the top tourist attractions in Guayaquil. I can't recommend this place enough.

The staff also speaks English, for my fellow gringos! I definitely recommend the suite, too!

Amazing hotel, fantastic staff

Room adequate. Location is great next to iguana park and close to malecon boardwalk. Staff very friendly. Breakfast could do with some variety. Internet free and adequate.

Amenities were basic. Easy walk to food, markets, shopping.

Great location. Friendly staff.

The only negative about the place was the shower.  VERY low flow.  Other than that, the place was great.  The location, three blocks from the Malecón can’t be beat.  Will recommend.

Prime Location

I went back to visit my relatives in Guayaquil, Ecuador and I stayed at this hotel for a few days. It is a basic hotel with small lobby but right down town with easy access to all kind of transportation and walking distance to almost anywhere in old Guayaquil or an inexpensive taxi ride to other areas in the city. Room was kind of small, had hot water, a window with street view and TV.
The staff was helpful and knowledgeable about the city and places to go. 
Hotel has a fast WIFI.
If you are in a budget, this is a decent clean place to stay.
