The only hostel in Santa Cruz that has decent prices. Very comfy, the rooms are big enough for 3 people but the location is far from center, except this that’s a good hostel, not luxury:)

“Friendly staff, nice location and excellent value.”
Park round the corner is great for kids and it's nice to have a kitchen to cook because food is a little expensive in the restaurants. The staff made our beds and gave us fresh towels everyday even though that's not usual in hostels.

“Great affordable stay in galapagos”
Amazing value for money. Host was super nice - even let us only pay for two nights even though we had missed our free cancellation to change the dates. Room was clean and had AC. Kitchen was well equipped. Free drinking water and hot showers! Location was good - maybe 15mins from the port?

“A really nice place to stay and glad they had availability.great value for money”
We had issues with our baggage and booked this a couple hours before our arrival. It was so easy to check in. staff were lovely. Room was better than expected. Not too far from town. A nice quiet location. I was a little disappointed I could not stay longer to enjoy this hostel to its full advantages. Kitchen looked good and the pool looked nice

“Good value for money”
It's in a great location just minutes walk from main street with all the restaurants and shops and a short walk from Charles Darwin's Research Centre as well. The room was clean and good value for the money.

the staff don’t knock on doors and walked in on me twice when changing and didn’t even apologise, once they even had a male guest with them! very very upsetting and rude. location is about a 15 min walk from the centre, not awful but bit annoying
