A good safe bet for Santa Cruz

Great staff, good ac and WiFi. Booked taxis for us for airport. Great town location. One of the better Hostal’s in the Galapagos we’ve stayed at over 2 weeks. Also secure with electric fob access after hours.

Great hosting

I had a really good experience with a staff member named Josep. He was very helpful to me. Any time I had a question or needed help with something, he went above and beyond for me. I felt very welcomed and enjoyed my stay.

A very comfortable stay in a great location in Puerto Ayora.

The room was very large and included a separate living area. The bathroom was also spacious and clean. Breakfasts were good and enjoyable. There is a nice rooftop terrace, and the location is excellent — close to the port, many restaurants, and the main street. The staff were kind, helpful, and welcoming.

Good place to stay for a couple of nights.

The staff are very friendly; you can book tours on-site and also store your luggage after check-out. Excellent daily housekeeping, a spacious room, and a good location.

Basic but good value.

Comfortable beds, good location, friendly staff and clean rooms. The staff were full of advice to Dave money on local sightseeing. Air conditioning worked really well, and the beds were made up daily. Great value.

Friendly staff and great location

Very nice man at reception. He was polite and helpful. I was able to check in early. Clean room and bathroom. The location is fantastic, close to town, but there is no noise from it. Loved the rooftop terrace

Nice & social dorm

I stayed for 5 nights in the female-5 bed dorm and really enjoyed my stay. I loved the single beds instead of bunk beads & the spacious room with AC. And the good location of the hostel. It was a great place and room to socialize with other travelers as a solo traveler & share tips and recommendations for Galapagos. There’s hot water & a huge shower in the bathroom that’s attached to this room (which was nice to wash my snorkel equipment). The hostel has a nice roof top (with sunbeds) with a kitchen. The fridge is super tiny and also used for the hostels breakfast products but I somehow could fit my food in anyways :) I found the kitchen opening hours strange (10am-6pm) because it does somehow exclude breakfast and dinner times but I used the kitchen anyways before and after and no one said anything:) WiFi was good and there’s a QR code downstairs for an airport taxi for only 10$.

Nicely located in a convenient place. Right across where you can get value meal at 6 USD for lunch or dinner. They clean the room everyday and give you a towel. Water dispenser is at the reception for you to fill your water bottle.
