Such a perfect place to start our Galapagos adventure! Lovely helpful hosts, well equipped kitchen, hot showers and fun art on the walls. Being a short walk from the main drag meant it was utterly quiet and peaceful at night. Really loved staying here.

Very nice staff with great recommendations and free snorkel gear rental, free beach towels, free drinking water/coffee/tea. We had a big room with a kitchen, they brought us a propane bottle to cook after asking for it, but there's also a community kitchen to cook in! Good A/C, okayish WIFI for Galapagos.

“Excellent price/value, better than pictures”
Honestly, the pictures don't do this place justice, it is so much better. Really spacious place, excellent separate kitchen/living room with all possible tools (oven, coffee maker, toaster...), separate bedroom with comfortable beds and even a terrace with tables and chairs. Free drinking water, internet and AC working well. This was probably the best price/value ratio accommodation we ever stayed in the whole Galapagos.

“Great time in Galapagos”
Affordable hotel, quite and safe neighborhood. Hotel staff helped me with whatever I needed. I had to leave the hotel earlier to join daily trips. They prepared breakfast really early for us. Also laundry service was great and affordable. Also helped me with airport transportation. Thanks again

“Wonderful stay”
The little apartment had all we needed for our stay and it was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and we really appreciated the flexible check-in and checkout times. Communication prior to our trip was stellar and when I sent a message on WhatsApp for help with Transit Card details, the response was immediate. We had zero issues with hot water, that worked perfectly, and we appreciated the smart tv. Wifi and air conditioning also worked great.

“A relatively cheap choice of accommodation in Santa Cruz with basic comfort”
- Towels smelt nice and clean - Complimentary coffee and tea at reception was a nice touch (though it would have been even better if the staff had replaced the water when the dispenser bottle ran out, as it was empty without water for almost two days)

“Nice accommodation in quiet part of the town.”
This accommodation has a small reception at the base of the block and we were met by an English speaking receptionist on arrival. The room was spacious and has a good kitchen/diner in a separate room with a settee. The facilities were good for anyone wanting to make their own meals but the accommodation also provides a good breakfast. The shower and beds were good and adequate stiorage exists in the rooms.

“Basic but good for price”
Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was freshly prepared. Fresh towels were provided some days. Wi-Fi worked most of the time - good for the Galapogos. Reasonable value for money ( cash only) 10-15 mins walk to town
