This hostel was everything that we could need on our trip to Isabela Island. The room was very clean and was cleaned everyday by housekeeping. The lady running the hostel was very sweet and even let us check in early so we could put our things away after arriving to the island. Breakfast was great and a very nice touch.

Breakfast was delicious (fruit, scrambled eggs, bread, cheese, coffee, juice). The owners were very friendly and accommodating (we checked in a bit early and they let us go in since the room was ready). Location is wonderful since it is a walking distance from great restaurants, bakery and downtown. All great!

It is a budget friendly hotel! The staff are kind and welcoming. However the service is limited. No hair dryer, the sheets are so thin and the towels are over washed, and mosquitoes can get into the room from the door and window opening. Breakfast is very limited. I only stayed for one night so the details didn’t bother me much but definitely would be hard if I had stayed longer.

We would highly recommend staying here for many reasons. Breakfast each morning was super fresh and consisted of fruit, juice, bread, eggs cooked to order, coffee, yogurt, granola and jam. Fresh cheese from the island was also very good. Rooms were very clean, comfortable and quiet and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange 3 different tours which included pick up at the hotel which made everything easy and enjoyable. Laundry was also done for us at the going rate around town which was quite convenient. They also provided drop off and pick up from the airport. This is exactly what we hoped for during our stay.
