One small thing. The shower was of the electric type that never seems to give sufficient hot water - lukewarm warm at best.

Good breakfast served each morning, tea and coffee available throughout the day. Large common rooftop terraced area with hammocks. Large room with lockable cupboard. Excellent hosts, met me at the door, gave me tourist orientation, allowed late checkout.

Staying at the hostal is like staying with family. Warm, comfortable, and inviting. Mr. Iván will not let you skip breakfast. The views from the third floor rooms are incredible. My new home away from home

Just off the main drag. Imagine your grandparents invited you to come stay at their house but the house is in the Galapagos. Don't skip breakfast.

Not being able to adjust the hot water. First shower was luke warm at best.

Ivan! Such a lovely and welcoming man. Gave us breakfast at a time convenient to us. Always has a smile on his face. The pillows were the most comfortable we had slept in for weeks. Location great- close to town.

good breakfast, clean room

The bathroom needs an update. Water was wasted because of inpractical toilet flushing and shower temperature setting.

We stayed in a room at the top floor with direct access to hammocks and eating area - with a view of course. Rooms were comfortable, breakfast was nice. It is also nice to hear the oink-oink from nearby male sea lions. Ivan and Joan are very friendly and great hosts. The nearby naval station is not a problem.

Only practical thing I would suggest is to include more hooks and clothing hangers in the room.

The owners Trudy and Ivan made the stay very welcoming and comfortable. Walking distance to the pier and shops. Lovely terrace area for breakfast and hanging out on hammocks.

too many steps ( 2nd-3rd floor), right in front of a military base

price, location ( close to everything), facilities, hosts

Shower not overly warm.

Quiet, great view over town. Not right in the centre but is only 5-10 minute walk into the centre of town pass sleeping sea lions on benches! Friendly, welcoming staff. Large rooms.

We loved the rooftop and the amazing breakfasts there each morning were a highlight of our stay! We felt at home and were sad to say goodbye, overall it was a wonderful place to stay!

Friendly people, nice and comfy room, strong wifi. With fresh fruit for the breakfast. Convenient location close to the city center but in a calm and quiet area. Very nice views

Nothing to say!

Friendliest atmosphere thanks to Ivan and Trudy, nice room and common spaces, we really enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and the close distance to the center.

the fly screen door didn't lock, which meant we couldn't sleep with the main door open. that would have helped with keeping the room cool (and us adjusting to the heat), but the air conditioning helped wih cooling. Some more fresh air would have been nice.

the hosts were very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. they helped us book some excursions and were happy to prepare a super early breakfast for us.

The beds were pretty hard and the pillows flat but that was my experience in most of Ecuador.

The breakfast was great and the views from the roof were terrific. The hammocks on the sun deck were great to relax in. I appreciated that they provided free filtered water.

The bed was uncomfortable.

Great location! Delicious breakfast! Cold A/C.

From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed and Trudi and Ev were the most hospitable hosts you could wish for. Nothing was a problem, offering advice on the best tours and activities that you could do without cost. Their Hostal was incredible value with a delicious breakfast, comfy bed and spacious rooms, a fantastic outdoor rooftop area complete with dining and sitting areas and hammocks. It’s no wonder this fabulous couple get such good ratings - we experienced their warmth and friendliness during our three day stay and this made the perfect finish to our stay in the Galápagos. Highly recommended. Thank you so much! Gracios!

If the lovely terrace was to have some comfy lights in the evening it would be even more inviting to sit there.

Great location, super close to pier and in walking distance to the airport. Rooms were spacious and clean, although a bit worn-off (which wasn’t negative at all). Friendly staff, preparing nice breakfast in the morning. Room was already ready when arriving around 9.30am, which was great Good-value-for money when being in San Cristobal.

Ivan and Trudy are very warm and welcoming. The daily breakfast was delicious, great quiet location. We loved the hammocks on the rooftop as well!

A little challenging to lock sliding door into the room, top floor is where the room is but important to know that there is no elevator.

Very nice host, great view from rooftop, comfortable room, good aircon . Great breakfast, very relaxing, hammocks on roof deck

Huge rooms close to town

Stayed in April 2024

Could have used a couple of extra towels. Face cloth not available - but I don’t think those are a thing in Ecuador.

Responsiveness of staff; easy to find and walk to ferry; spacious; clean and loved the shared fridge and kettle just outside our room. Was nice to grab a beer / cold drink at store nearby and then chill in evening at top floor patio in hammock. They also had a big map of town and beaches available to reference in the common area. Was also walking distance to airport the day we flew out. Took 15 minutes but would have taken 5-8 minutes but the gravel road made it difficult to drag roller suitcase so we had to take the “long way around”.

Very good location being close to the airport and the pier. The host is very helpful and welcoming. They accommodated us with very early breakfasts for our tours and our flight schedule. Breakfasts were delicious with fresh fruit.

Everything! Great location, great view from our large rooftop room, comfortable hammocks, big varied breakfasts (the best we've had on our trip) and last but not least Trudy was very helpful and friendly!
