Best hotels & accommodations in Galapagos Province
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.

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
Lovely place, staff very helpful
I caught many insects, including mosquitoes and a roach-like creature, in the room on the first night. Bring your own soap.
Great place. Friendly staff. Very accommodating. Clean rooms. View of the ocean. They go above and beyond for guests. Check out is early, 9am, but they let us leave our bags at the hostel and go about our day and then return to shower before we had an afternoon flight out of the Galapagos. Best bang for the buck we had during our Galapagos stay.
We only stayed one night, but we had great service from the manager who arranged a taxi to the airport for the next morning. We were too late to use the pool, but sat and drank wine outside on our final night in the Galapagos. Clean room and very secure.
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.
We had a big room. There's a nice rooftop terrace with a kitchen everyone may use. Check in and check out went fast. Very friendly staff. Hot water wasn't working but that's common on the Galapagos so not the Hotel's fault.

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 ...
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 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.

This hotel is amazing value. Location is perfect next to restaurants, tour companies and the supermarket. Rooms are spacious and cleaned daily with hot water showers. Receptionist is super helpful with organising day trips and advice for places to eat. If your travelling to the Galápagos on a budget I don’t think there is anywhere better
Location is great with oceanview. But the rooms are basic and hot water not always available. But the terras with comfortabele chairs is very Nice. Good valuefor money
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.
The owner Nancy and her sister Margaret were great during the booking and our stay there. The hotel is located nicely on the beach.

The owner Nancy and her sister Margaret were great during the booking and our stay there. The hotel is located nicely on the beach. There are three rooms to the whole property and it's cute and quaint. It's within walking distance to the Main Street as well as the dock. The breakfast is not included but for $5, Margaret prepares a really nice breakfast at the time you inform her. The rooms were very clean. Certain things such as hot water were't working when we got there BUT they tried to fix any problem ASAP. There is a nice sitting area with hammocks and lounging chairs on the first floor in front of the beach and it's really nice to relax there. We had to cancel out last day of reservation because of air tickets mess up. Nancy refunded our money without any hassle. I would highly recommend Casa Solei to anyone and would definitely stay with them again when I return!
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.
Got a room with a view of the harbor. Basic facility but everything works well. Wifi signal is pretty non-existence from room but overall internet is slow everywhere. The hotel location is a few blocks from the main harbor street and takes 5 minutes to walk there. There are two laundromats, corner stores and a bakery within a block or two of the hotel.
No issues. Great place. Would recommend
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.
Friendly hostel owners. The ho owner The hostal is located near the pier. The room was tidied everyday.
Pros Friendly staff Cleanliness. Daily housekeeping. The best part is location. It is 2 min walk from Binford street where there are tons of restaurants. And hardly 5 min walk to the pier. Cons Wifi sucks. Internet is generally bad all over the Island but terrible at this hotel compared to others. 0.2 mbps was the max speed I received. And it hadn't connected for cou...

Cons Wifi sucks. Internet is generally bad all over the Island but terrible at this hotel compared to others. 0.2 mbps was the max speed I received. And it hadn't connected for couple of days. No breakfast. Places with $15 per day also have breakfast included but not this place No staff available after noon. So if you need anything you need to call the number given to you.
It is located in a neighborhood that includes noisy, rundown bars. Also the hotl currently has major construction underway. Nice staff.
Staff owner excellent..always happy to help..quiet room at the back..Good air con..superb location..great price deal for us that helped our budget..Very clean..great stay.
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.
Lovelonly am, great shower, i think the only room with a balcony. Pool a bit small. Well located for the trail to Tortuga beach but nowhere is far from anywhere in Puerto Ayora. Breakfast was fairly basic. Overall I felt this was expensive, especially given we were without electricity and showering facilities for some hours.

This is easily a gem on the island, away from the touristy area, a short taxi ride for $2, or call Alfredo for a ride, he is the friendly owner of the lodge.
Good English, kitchen available, breakfast included

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....
The room was comfortable and the place was quiet. Air conditioner and WiFi worked well and it was within a 15 minute walk from the ferry pier. I think I was the only person staying at this place during my stay. It was not a place to meet people and the family did not provide much info about what to do on the island.

Hostal was on the edge of town closest to the beach, so location was fine. Family runs the place and also lives there, so you’re in kind of close quarters with the owners. They are friendly though. No real hot water. Luke warm, but I expect it’s from solar heating (and the Galapagos doesnt have much water, so better to take short showers anyway).
Location is great with oceanview. But the rooms are basic and hot water not always available. But the terras with comfortabele chairs is very Nice. Good valuefor money
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They don't speak English but we managed to communicate ok. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean. Free drinking and cooking water was provided. Overall a very nice stay.

Located close to pier, clean beds, basic facilities but good value
We are a family that is content with a clean bed, clean bathroom, not so expensive. We were very satisfied. The owner, Carlos, was very helpful. We could ask him for anything and he would try his best to help us. The decor is minimalist which is fine with us. We asked for 2 rooms, we had 2 kids, and the room was perfect because it had a kitchen in a common area.
We stayed here for one night. The room was a good size and comfortable, and the bathroom had a powerful and hot shower. The room was a little old, but fine for just one night. The staff were very friendly too.
I caught many insects, including mosquitoes and a roach-like creature, in the room on the first night. Bring your own soap.

Ok, here's the story. Arrived at Hotel Galápagos and it was closed. Knocked for ten minutes on several doors and nothing. A faded sign in Spanish wrote 'information at Bar de Beto', which after asking a few people is across the road and to the right of Hotel Galápagos. Same owners.

Ok, here's the story. Arrived at Hotel Galápagos and it was closed. Knocked for ten minutes on several doors and nothing. A faded sign in Spanish wrote 'information at Bar de Beto', which after asking a few people is across the road and to the right of Hotel Galápagos. Same owners. After a 20 min wait there (unattended also) a guy turned up and asked if I was staying? He then put me up stairs from the bar in a room with beach views, which was nice. The room was pretty run down though, like a holiday shack. The bar is very loud and randomly open. I didn't really sleep much, prob good for alcoholics. Nice location though, when you finally check in.
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
Great place. Friendly staff. Very accommodating. Clean rooms. View of the ocean. They go above and beyond for guests.

We stayed for three nights and had a triple room for my husband, sister and myself. My brother had a separate room n his own. The room was very clean and comfortable. While it is a basic hotel they did provide essentials such as tea and coffee making facilities, cold filtered water and a fridge to store anything you bought. The receptionist was extremely helpful, informative and polite. The hostel is just outside town but gave us the opportunity to walk into town (very safe) and back. I would highly hey recommend his Hostel.
super nice place and the stuff was adorable!
The host was nice but spoke little English. The hostel itself is within walking distance from tourist central but was not close. Internet did not work. Breakfast is not included.

I stayed here for 2 nights, and find everything in order. Maria, the hotel manager, was very kind and efficient enough in attending to the guests. She even took time to explain what can be done in the island during my stay. 6 out of 5 stars!
