No reservation!!!
Despite the Expedia confirmation and my correspondence with the hotel prior to arrival, when we arrived first we had to wait over an hour for anybody to arrive at the reception, only to hear that our reservation does not exist. After a tiring trip we had to run around the city to find any hotel that looks acceptable and has free rooms left. All that with full luggage, burning noon sun and a child. Stay away from that hotel! Shame on Expedia that they sell a hotel that claims no work with Expedia!!!
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017

would not recommend this one
I stayed here for one night and had booked another 4 nights after visiting some other islands. The staff was very friendly, but the room was not very clean (there was sand in one of the beds), the shower was PVC piping that came out of a hole in the wall and no hot water. The room was also very loud and there was no night time staff who tried to quiet anyone down. There is an outdoor balcony where people smoke and the smoke comes into the rooms.

Best place to stay in Puerto Ayora!
This is a wonderful hotel. It is affordable, very comfortable, and everyone there is so helpful. The breakfasts are terrific! Fernando (the owner) and all the staff did so much for us and went out of their way to make sure our stay on Puerto Ayora and at the Flightless Cormorant was ideal. I would recommend this hotel very very highly.

Good accommodation, staff very polite!
We used 5 rooms and stayed around 9 nights. Our experience was very good. Fernando, the administrator was very helpful always ready to give an,advise about the best way to visit the islands. He was always there for whatever we needed. Ceida, the housekeeper is fantastic, she makes very good breakfasts and adapts them to your requirements. She is also always there to help you with anything you need. Besides the hotel is located in the center of the town so it's really easy and quick to go wherever you want to. We would recommend this accommodation for your stay in Puerto Ayora.

Great place!
Terrace for relaxing, watching, reading is great. Breakfast was usually varied by the friendly cook/housekeeper. Top floor rooms are the best.

Great location
Happy with everything except the cleanliness of my sheets; the pillow in particular smelled like dirty feet.

Ray, Santiago

Good location, Easy on the budget
The hotel works a bit different than other hotels as there is no night staff but the property is still secure. The location is great as it is on the main corridor of the town and very close to the harbor / pier area where most boat tours start / finish from. The hotel is not luxurious but is clean and comfortable. Breakfast is served every morning on the top floor which has a good view of the bay and is the best place for Wifi reception. Wifi is poor on all the islands and I found that most restaurants have the best reception. If you are looking for a moderately priced place to stay, clean and good location. This is the place for you.

4/10 Poor

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very First night room was not even cleaned from previous guests. Hair from other people in shower and in sink. Sheets didn't even look like they were even changed. There was a language barrier so I just dealt with it. Hotel review online was very misleading for $80/ night. You're paying for the location.

Not fancy, but in the middle of everything
The hotel's location is optimal as it's in the middle of the restaurant/shopping district and is across the street from the pier where most of the tours begin. The hotel is nothing fancy, but the couple's room was big and the air conditioning worked well. There was a big day room on the top floor with a nice terrace overlooking the marina. The staff was really wonderful. Always smiles and can-do attitudes.
