Amazing!

Everything! The hosts are absolutely amazing, totally helpful. One of us is vegetarian and there was absolute no problem in order to adjust to a vegetarian breakfast. The hotel is really nice, new and totally comfortable. Definitely we will always return here when we come back to Galapagos Islands. :)

Everything. Hosts Priscilla and Dario know hospitality, and they are generous with their knowledge of these islands and of the islands' flora and fauna, and they are generous with their time. The very comfortable accommodation is in a new, smartly-designed building, and the daily breakfast is not to be missed. It’s a pleasant short walk to town, and there are great local restaurants and a specialty coffee roaster nearby.

Excellent stay, best room in Galapagos.

The room was new, modern, large and very clean. The breakfast was very nice. Best of all, however, were the hosts, who were so very welcoming and accommodating. I've rarely had such good service, assisting us in getting to tours and so on. Great stuff!

Don’t wait- just book!

I’ve travelled to more than 50 countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels - this was one of the best stays ever. The owners, Dario and his wife make you feel like home from the first second. They go above and beyond to make your stay in the Galápagos Islands unforgettable - from sharing insider tips to helping with booking tours and ferries for fair prices. The room is better than on pictures. Very spacious, comfortable, clean and calm. The shower is warm with good pressure. The hotel is in walking distance to the city center, restaurants and the main attractions. Breakfast was also good and delicious. I 100% recommend this hotel and will definitely come back one day. You can really feel the love in this beautiful family business. Don’t hesitate and book!

Fantastic accomodation, would fully recommend.

Let’s get one thing right from the start, this is much more than a hostal ! Dario and Priscilla are such genuine, helpful, lovely people who can’t do enough to help. Casa Galapagos is a new building, very well built with large, well equipped rooms and spotlessly clean and much needed air con. Rooms cleaned every day of our 7 day stay. Slept solid in large, very comfortable bed. Breakfast varied every day, fresh juice, cereals, eggs, bacon etc. yoghurts, fruit, fresh bread etc. Drinking water machine for bottle filling. Great advice on trips, tours and all the islands. 10 out of 10 from us.

Very large rooms with great amenities. Exceptionally clean. Dario, the owner, helped us a lot with everything - including organising tours and dropping us off at the port in the early morning.

We booked two double rooms and everything was perfect—spacious rooms, very comfortable beds, large bathrooms with great showers, and a lovely balcony. There was honestly nothing to complain about. Dario and Priscilla, the owners, were exceptional hosts. They woke up early to prepare breakfast for our early excursions, explained everything calmly and clearly, arranged our ferry tickets, and even drove us to the pier themselves. Their thoughtful advice to safely leave most of our luggage with them while visiting Isabela Island truly showed their care and trust. Thank you, Dario & Priscilla — simply the best hosts in the Galapagos Islands.
