I spend several weeks in the Hilton Colon for business. The facilities are great. There is a nice gym, great pool, and a number of restaurants. The massages in the spa are heavenly, as is the Jacuzzi. The service is very attentive and the facilities are super clean. However, there were several things that bothered me. The location is terrible and there is nothing within walking distance. Most disagreeable however, is that there seem to be a number of prostitutes in the bar almost every night of the week.
These women are hanging out with older businessmen and they pull up by the taxi load in the evenings. It wasn't really obvious to me at first, abut after spending more than a week here it was very clear. Dear Mrs…. We are glad you enjoyed our facilities. Best regards,. Had two nights at each end of a Galapagos trip in this hotel Cannot fault this hotel- great food , good room, super wifi, good gym and the pool is great.
Concierge will sort out your trips outside the hotel- Guayaquil is a scary city. Dear Peter, we are so glad you enjoyed our country and your stay at our hotel. Hope you come back soon. We stated here on our way to and from the Galapagos. What a great oasis in the middle of an otherwise unimpressive city. The pool is great for adults and kids alike and the pool bar is a great place to get a drink and relax.
We were not impressed that out of 5 advertised restaurants only 1 was open and the food and service were mediocre but the rooms are wonderful and comfortable so we were overall very happy.
Dear Anyacappolla We are glad you had a nice stay. Your comments surely help us to improve our service. Hope you come back in the near future. Upon entering the hotel and seeing the plain but reasonably attractive lobby, we mistakenly thought that this hotel would be on par with other Hiltons. The pool was nice, but the towels were a five minute walk from the area. Don't even think about ordering from the poolside cafe unless you have all afternoon to wait. The upscale Verenda Tropical offered average food served by waiters who could not communicate in English even though the clientele is primarily Americans and Aussies.
