Find Hotels in Galapagos, Ecuador

Our rooms and ocean view were top-notch. Modern facility. Rooms felt open & airy. Open spaces. Nice breakfast in the morning that changed daily. Always had fresh, purified cold and hot water available on every floor & bottled waters throughout the rooms. Most to put away, the staff was top-notch. My husband and I have stayed at some of the nicest hotels in the world and have not seen this level of service at this price point. Ever. They made sure everybody (family of 9) was taken care of from the beginning. Stowing our bags, recommendations, organizing cabs, packaged lunches to-go for early excursions, accompanied us to the pharmacy when we weren’t sure we could convey in Spanish what we needed, etc. All with no prompting. They offered up their services 24/7 . I will be forever grateful since I had a severe back injury just before our arrival to San Cristobal & they would have gone to the moon and back to make sure I had what I needed. Don’t hesitate. It’s a great hotel. Gracia

I caught many insects, including mosquitoes and a roach-like creature, in the room on the first night. Bring your own soap.

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights. The owner, Jackson was very kind and provided an excellent service. We arrived early in the morning from Santa Cruz and he came to meet us and other guests at the port to take us to the hotel. The room was ready for us as soon as we arrived. He gave us lots of information and helped us to book tours and organised our ticket back to Santa Cruz. The room was clean and the bathroom had a lovely hot shower. At the request of my partner, Jackson and his wife bought and arranged balloons as a surprise for my birthday! We had a wonderful time at Ceilo Azul and highly recommend this hotel to others seeking a more personal and local experience in Isla Isobela.

A more of hostel than a hotel. Helpful staff, location not near the center of the island , you will have to walk 10-15 minute. Still safe area. Facilities are very simple a more of hostel than a hotel. You will have to pay in cash - no credit card accepted. Internet is very slow and will not work 90% of the time. There is a crossfit Gym in front of the hotel which is one of the best things to do in evening.

The roof terrace is really nice to hang, the breakfast delicious, the location handy and the bedroom spacious and clean. Most importantly Louis was an excellent host, always offering to help us with anything we need and make us feel welcomed. Thank you so much, we had a great time!

I had a really nice stay on Island Isabella. This hostel isn't actually on the beach, or on the town square, but is no more than 2 minutes walk from either, so is very central. The village is nice and safe, so there is no problem wandering around at any time. The hotel has good wifi, is very clean and well run, the staff are helpful and there is a kitchen if guests want to cook, as well as a communal tv in front of hammocks under cover in the garden. The air conditioning is super efficient. There is a supermarket next door around the corner, as is a bike hire place. I was very happy staying there and would recommend it.

The Hostal España is a great place to stay! It’s within easy walking distance to the pier and restaurants. Daniel, the guy at the front desk, is very helpful in helping the guests plan activities while they are on Santa Cruz Island. Daniel is one of the friendliest and most helpful people I have met at any hotel/hostel around the world! The only drawback to this hotel is water pressure in the shower and lack of usable WiFi. They have WiFi in the lobby area, but it hardly works at all.

Receptionist from start was fairly unpleasant and unhelpful. Her small child was storming area including tap in my butt.. We ordered quadruple room and she gave us triple that’s much smaller. When we pointed out she started ‘you in Galapagos, you speak Spanish’ other staff was much more pleasant then individual who checked us in.

i thoroughly enjoyed my stay at ocean dreams in puerto ayora, galapagos. the staff were personable and accommodating throughout my entire visit which was refreshing. the hotel itself is very clean and modern with a wide array of amenities. its only a short 3-5 minute walk to all of the shops and cafes on the ocean and the charles darwin research station is in close proximity. i highly recommend booking with ocean dreams if you plan to visit puerto ayora in the galapagos.

The rooms are super clean, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms appear to be recently renovated. Plus it's right in the heart of Puerto Ayora and seconds away from the port and the street with all the food stalls. Amazing value for the Galapagos!

We were very happy with our stay at Hospedaje Nathaly--I only regret that I don't speak more Spanish so I could have interacted more with the sweet hosts! it's a 7 minute walk to the pier area; not a lot of restaurants in the immediate area but a good bakery just 4 minutes away. Everything was very clean; there was a kitchenette upstairs for use, and they provided a 6 liter jug of drinking water that they refilled as necessary. They loaned us towels for one of our excursions, and called us taxis when we asked. We stay in the backroom, as they seemed concerned about the noise (it faces a little sports 'complex' where people play football, volleyball, etc) and they also offered ear plugs. The A/C worked great, as did the wifi. Very happy we stayed here!

I traveled with my husband to the Galapagos for our honeymoon, and we stayed at the hostel morning glory a total of 2 nights. Marcos, the owner, was ready for us when we arrived, and gave us an excellent tour of the property, as well as a couple restaurant/ restaurant neighborhood recommendations. His suggestions were all on point. We saved so much by dining about a block away from the main hub, and still ate like kings each night (lobster, fresh fish, you name it). We had opted to book a last minute cruise on the island, and after doing a lot of research on the different boats and itineraries, ultimately chose the boat Marcos recommended, and could not have been happier (The Eden). If you plan to visit the Galapagos, and don't want to break the bank for a clean, beautiful, centrally located hostel/hotel, I highly recommend Hostel Morning Glory. Marcos made all the difference, and truly helped acclimate us to the amazing island.

For the money is a very good hotel. Bout 15 minute walk from airport, 5 minute walk to main part of town. Grocery store, pharmacy and restaurants right next store. Hospital is across the street even. People were very nice and helpful. Owners were particularly nice and helpful.

This was a good clean hotel. It was the only one on the three main islands I stayed in this price range where I got a warm shower, so that felt great. Only challenge was the wifi was very inconsistent. It was better in lounge area of room, as it didn't seem to reach bedroom area often. I would still stay there again despite this challenge.

Excellent well run hostel with clean rooms, hot showers and professional staff. Basic which is reflected in the cost. A good cost efficient, no frills option in Santa Cruz.

I've had a really good time at this hostal. Daniel and his mother were very friendly and helpful providing all the information about the island and places to visit. The room was fine and the location is very central.

In all of Ecuador and Peru this was the worst hotel we have booked so far. For the money (we booked a double room) expect a small, basic room, kind if modern with no frills. Nw we don't ind no frills but in Ecuador you can do get similar for less money, or much more for a similar price! Our room had a sewage smell permeate through it our entire stay coming from the bathroom. To be fair, we never notified the hotel staff if this to rectify it because we were only staying be night and couldn't be bothered moving, however upon checking our were not offered any compensation nor was there any further enquiry, they could have done better here. In terms of the location, note it is a boat ride away from town (Although less Han a dollar to get to town each way) so be aware if this is you are booming, in my opinion he hotel is more worth in the US$80 realm at best.

Very relaxing stay and the staff were super helpful. Nice and clean rooms and surroundings. The path from the pier to the hotel can be a little dark in certain areas at night so more lights may be better. Nevertheless, didn't once feel that it was unsafe even when walking around at night.

Pricy hotel and worth it! The pool was perfect, staff were great beautiful and gracious. Breakfast was delicious the rooms were huge! We were in a bungalow, the A/C worked great the beds were cumphy and the grounds were immaculate. Down side.. hot water took a long time to kick in and the fridge kept things cool at best. Being off the beaten path ( 3-5 min walk from the main strip ) meant a quiet nights sleep 👍 And right around the corner a peaceful lagoon. Also the closest hotel to tortuga beach which is absolutely worth the 30 min walk!

A short walk from the boat pier so big bags would need a taxi (not expensive though). Great views from the roof, nice host and good rooms

Loved our stay at Galeodan! The room was in great shape and accurately depicted! Communication from Sean was great in advance and while staying on site, and he helped us coordinate all of our day trips! Highly recommended!

The room was big, bright, clean,quiet, it was made-up every day, had a tv, air conditioning, hot water (even in the sink), it was minutes from the beach and the town centre. A substantial breakfast was included, off premises. The young man in charge was friendly, helpful,and spoke English, he even offered to provide a free ride to the port when I left. Downstairs is a convenience store.

We were only here for two nights but felt very comfortable. We wished we had stayed longer. The service was great and our room was very unique. We highly recommend this beautiful and quiet property.

Accommodation (budget room) is basic but clean and comfortable, with good bed and a hot shower and breakfast delivered to your room every morning. Best of all are the staff. Yogo and his mum run the place and they are helpful and accommodating, even letting me borrow a laptop to backup my photos when I lost the cable for my own. We also stayed one night in an apartment which has full kitchen, sitting area and the sleeping area - very comfortable. The location is about a 5 min walk from the main street.

I only review a place if it is awful or awesome. This place is awesome My family and I have been traveling for the past 17 mo. My wife and I have a 1 yr old and a 5 yr old. Staying in a hostel usually isnt an option. So, we were a bit nervous when we arrived. That nervousness was totally unfounded. When we arrived, Eric (who runs the front desk) was awesome. We had no clue how to approach the Galapagos islands and how to do it economically. He sat us down with a map of the islands, and explained what we could see and where we could see it. I expected him to try and push tours. But he didnt. Although they do sell some great tours, he also told us how to walk to places that were free and how to get to them. It was unexpected and appreciated. Now, you wont get the best of the island without a tour, but there are great things to see for free and all within walking distance of the hostel. Within a block of the hostel, you can swim with fur seals and see the famous iguanas. It's a great deal and highly recommended. Eric and crew go above and beyond to make sure your Galapagos trip will be unforgettable....

Middle of town, just far enough from the Sea Lions in the Harbour to not hear them at night (they're loud!) , basic accomm but perfect for the location
