Architectural Quirky Hidden Gem Hotel and we loved it!!! Colorful Mosaic art & sculptures everywhere with great service & staff. Family run business & boy are they hard workers. Breakfast was very good with varied fresh fruit every day, eggs made to order, granola cereal, Yoghurt, toast. Coffee, tea. Most standard rooms have 3 beds. We stayed in the suite with a king size bed, Kitchen and very large sitting area and a small balcony. Anna was extremely helpful as she speaks perfect English & is as sweet as can be. Location is perfect & only a seven minute walk into town. Lots of restaurants, coffee & souvenir shops. Make sure you visit the interpretational museum by the Mann Beach & watch the Amazing sunset . Taxis are very inexpensive and will run you two or three dollars anywhere you go. The location is also a skip and a jump to the airport. Honestly, look no further. This is an awesome place to stay and is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. So happy we chose this hotel. I’ve traveled all over the world and I will definitely remember this one for its uniqueness.

My daughter and I stayed here for 1 night. The room was bigger than expected, and there is working AC too! Lovely morning breakfast outside. Very clean, eco-friendly hotel that is walking distance to everything. We had 2 beds that were separated by a wall as well as a living area with a couch. I was surprised by the extra space and seating, which was nice to relax in after a long day of exploring. Only downside is that mattresses are pretty hard and you can hear everything outside walking by or dogs barking. However, this is in a neighborhood area so much quieter than Main Street. SUPER SAFE even when walking back to the hotel late at night! We were never worried! We got a little lost on the way back from dinner and stopped at every other restaurant for WiFi. San Cristobal is really the kindest, friendliest place and this hotel is perfectly priced and situated.

“Very unique hotel”

We really enjoyed this hotel - the styling is incredibly unique, there is always something to look at. Staff incredibly friendly, broken English but that’s ok, you’re in a foreign territory so it’s expected. Breakfast is simple but very tasty, especially the pineapple jam!

We really enjoyed this hotel - the styling is incredibly unique, there is always something to look at. Staff incredibly friendly, broken English but that’s ok, you’re in a foreign territory so it’s expected. Breakfast is simple but very tasty, especially the pineapple jam! The room itself is very big! We had 3 beds in ours, a double and 2 singles, although the singles were large as well. The styling in the room is very basic, but whenever you read about staying in the Galapagos they say that you should expect the rooms to be more basic. Lots of storage space, decent air conditioner, and the bathroom is very large too with a great shower, everything in the room was lovely and clean too. The hotel is located a 5 minute walk from the Main Street, there is a supermarket just across the road as well as restaurants and a laundry service as well. Everything you need super close by. We would happily stay here again when we next visit the Galapagos, the only negative aspect was that the WiFi is pretty much non-existent in the room, but it works well in the reception / dining area and a neighbourhood dog sometimes barks, but that didn’t disturb our stay.

“Exterior decoration was the highlight of the hotel.”

Stayed here as part of a tour of the Galapagos islands. Hotel has a charming exterior look with numerous animal mouldings on the exterior walls all filled in with colourful tiles. There was extensive use of ornate tiling throughout the property. This however was the hotel highlight. Rooms were basic with firm beds, no bedside cabinets or bedside lights. Breakfast was very minimalist.
