This is an amazing hostel to start your Galapagos trip. We had nothing booked in advance and Sylvia helped us with taxis, tours, a ferry to Isabela on a comfortable boat, and even a tour on another island! We probably wouldn't have been able to see as much of the island without Sylvia, and also Marcelo's fun tour of the highlands. Other than that the rooms are very nice, strong AC, showers are hot, great restaurants nearby, a big kitchen and plenty of drinking water. 15 minute walk to the docks or a $1.5 taxi ride

Cute little hotel in the heart of Puerto Ayora. Great location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The staff is very welcoming, especially Maily at the front desk, who was particularly helpful. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, just perfect for a pleasant stay.

Owners were so helpful and very present. Lovely to have a kitchen to save a bit of money on eating out. Location was fab, everything in walking distance. Bedroom was large and A/C was a welcome addition. You can book tours and ferry’s through the hotel so made it really easy.

If you have to stay in Santa Cruz, then only here. Close to everything but quiet and gives the feeling of being far from the disgusting tourism on the island. Right on the water and a six-minute walk from the ferry dock. The staff is lovely and attentive. Everything is very clean and comfortable.

    The hostel has a comfortable shared area. The kitchen is very big and very well equipped. There are free water refills. Towels and bedsheets get changed every day. The place is centrally located and very close to the central food street (cheap menu del dia). They have an onsite bike rental shop. I could leave my bags on the way from Isabela to San Cristobal for 6 hours and use the facilities. The place was very social when I was there. Highly recommended!

    Great location, spacious, clean and comfy rooms with air con. I was slightly disappointed the hostel is quite dated and also doesn't have a common space or kitchen, doesn't offer water refills as most places do. I would recommend staying here for a 1 or 2 nights only.

    Great location for a good price. Friendly staff. The aircon was decent enough to keep the room cool. The bed is huge, as it is two small double beds put together, and you don't notice any gap in the middle. Next door to one of the best restaurants in town and close to everything else, including the best beach in Puerto Ayora, playa de la estación. Decent kitchen with plenty of seating, and free drinking water. Plus you can leave your bags in the hostel after checkout.
