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

The owner is incredibly nice and helpful, even with very basic English skills she makes everything work. She takes care of you and any requests you might have. The tour and taxi she organised was very good and cheap as well. The hotel is nicely located with like 5 minutes to the sea and 10 minutes to Darwin center (no need to go there). The air conditioning works, the water pressure is okay (it's excellent in some rooms), the whole hotel is clean - so I can recommend Oceans Dreams absolutely and without any doubts. I can't emphasize enough how likeable and nice and heartwarming the owner is. Being there didn't feel like business but more like family.

Starlink is a life saver. The kitchen is also very well equipped and is kept clean. Plenty of storage (even with lockers!) for the food. It's also conveniently located next to a fresh market. Room is huge and comes a closet with its own locker as well.

Everything! There's not even one thing I could complain about it! Very clean place, the towels are get changed everyday. Kitchen is clean and you have a water refill station and even one with hot water which I do like as you don't have to boil the water first for tea! Offers tours as well, airport shuttle available, more expensive than the bus, but a lot cheaper than a usual taxi! Hammocks to hang out and meet other people. Location is right in the middle of everywhere! Definitely my favorite hostel on the Galapagos and highly recommended!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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.
