The view is amazing. We stayed at the last floor and had a sea view.
The location is quite nice. It is not in the city center, but it is about 5-10 min walking. It is right near where the trail towards the Wall of Tears starts.
The room was big, with 4 beds event if we booked for two persons. The AC is great.
The staff was very polite. They called us a taxi and kept our luggages after we left the room in the last day.

Loved my stay here and I even extended it! The hostal is clean, comfy and is in a perfect location. It's lovely to be able to use the hammocks in the beach bar as well. Kitchen was nice and drinking water available and snorkels available to borrow for free. Definitely recommend.

Everything was amazing. The location, just in front of the sea and the facilities were great. And the staff, all were nice and always available and helpful. In our case, they all gave us tips on things to do in the island. Defenitely recommended.

Hotel is located in the second row of the beach. There is party at the beach (Pink Iguana Bar) on Fridays and Saturdays. I heard guests with rooms facing the beach complaining about noise during weekend nights. My room was facing the back country. With my windows closed I did not hear anything during weekend nights.

We enjoyed Isabel Island the most of the three Islands we stayed at. Fantastic wildlife. The sunrises and sunsets, long beach walks, Los Tunnels Tour, bike rental, trails, tortoise natural reserve, plenty of shops for fresh fish and produce, plenty of restaurants with delicious food, panaderias with baked goods and early morning coffee. Awesome locals that were very friendly and helpful. Exceeded all our expectations.

We enjoyed traveling beyond Santa Cruz Island for a few nights, just to experience the "vibe" of a different island. The town of Puerto Villamil is relaxed, very friendly and a charming beach town. Most of the area is walkable, though taxis were very cheap (less than $5).

Isabela is a backpacker's destination with very poor infrastructure and low level restaurants. And it's extremely expensive for a European, especially if you come from a non Euro-country given the appreciation of the USD. We struggled to find a decent restaurant and it turned out that the Mexican was the best (full every night). To give you an example of cost, a main course was between USD19-30 which in eg Spain would have been aprox USD8. Price/quality ratio is among the worst we've experienced.
Ecuador, especially the islands, is a cash only-no receipt-economy with the purpose of squeezing the last dollar out of the tourists. We left with few intentions of returning which is a shame given the amazing animals and nature. People are mostly very friendly and helpful which was a nice.

The laid-back beach town vibes here are so much different than Puerto Ayora and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on the other islands. We loved the relaxing atmosphere and I wish we'd planned this stop toward the end of the trip instead of right at the beginning. Make sure you do a trip to Los Tuneles while you're there - the scenery is fantastic and it was the best snorkeling we had on our week in the islands.

Puerto Villamil is small but welcoming and very beautiful with great opportunities for snorkeling, walking, biking, swimming, kayaking etc. Most restaurants seem to serve "pizza" for tourists, but it's possible to avoid that for more traditional and delicious fare. The local beer is good, the people are friendly and it's well worth the effort to visit. The wildlife is spread around the island, but you can experience an incredible variety in the near vicinity - flamingos, penguins, sea lions, manta rays, sea horses, turtles, tortoises, iguanas, lava lizards, blue-footed/nazca boobies and other incredible sea birds, sharks and colourful fishes, I can't wait to go back :)

Nice place, really relaxing.
Nice place, really relaxing. Not too many good options to go out for dinner and the nice restaurants are quite expensive. But this is the rule in Galapagos.
If you don't have much money, I would not recommend to stay many nights here, because the day trips are hugely expensive and there is not many free options otherwise staying in the central beach.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Hostal Galapagos. The family who runs this place is so kind, helpful and just all around amazing. They answered all of our questions and helped us with anything we needed. The room was nice and simple, perfect for a stay on Isabela. The bar is conveniently across the street and great place to hang out and go to the beach. We really enjoyed the breakfast offered here and would recommend that to others staying.
Best shower I had in the Galapagos. Breakfast was good. The staff was all really friendly and helpful, especially Diana who explained everything to me when I first arrived.
They are on the road from the pier just as you reach the main part of town. I liked this location but others might prefer something right on the beach further into town. However it was very convenient for getting to and from the pier for tours, ferries, etc.
Wonderful place to stay in Isabela. Estalin made our stay even better. Helped us out with tour bookings and everything went perfect. He also upgraded our room to a sea view. Nice balcony, right on the beach :) Thank you again Estalin. We were very happy with this treat :) Breakfast is DELICIOUS. All personnel very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend this hotel 100%.
We actually stayed in the hotel next door because there was no more space in this one (the ac was broken or something like that, we don’t really trust what the owner says). The kitchen was ok. Would be nice to have more forks and knives and plates because it is definitely not enough for few people cooking at the same time.
Clean and comfortable rooms with hot water.
Location is awesome, right in front of the beach! We were upgraded to the suite which was incredible, spacious and with the best view ever from a bathroom! Breakfast is also delicious and reception helped us sort out our one tour in Isabela. Staff is very kind and helpful! Top place where to stay in Isabela, with attention to details of a 4/5 star hotel!
The staff was super helpful and super friendly, they were always available trough Whatsapp to get the latest information for tours. Breakfast is good with delicious scrambled eggs. Rooms are spacious and have what is needed for a comfortable stay. Location is right in the center of the cosy Puerto villamil
Staff so nice. When we arrive they explain everything and welcome us delicious juice. The room was clean every day. They arranged taxi for us when we needed. Also the gave us breakfast early morning before we was leaving the hotel (so nice). You can refill water for free any time.
Jackie and Ramon have a wonderful hotel, a great staff and all of them are very friendly. The location is perfect, right on the beach with a great view of the sunsets and just a short walk to the middle of town. Very laid back atmosphere in town. Just perfect.
Hotel StarFish was wonderful. It was clean and in a convenient location close to everything. Carlos was amazing. He answered our many questions and helped us book a tour and a ferry. The bed was comfortable, there was nice hot water as well as a strong AC.
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Loja. The man on reception (Byron) is so super kind and friendly. The breakfast every day was great and they switched it up which was good. They will also make an earlier breakfast if needed for your tour.
The view! You can't beat the value of this hotel. Book an ocean view room, they're the best. The staff here are fantastic, my room was cleaned every day and the man at the front desk went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant.
The owners run the hotel and are very friendly, honest and helpful. The bedroom is big, super clean and the shower is perfect. The location is safe and great. I loved the owners and had a great time in Isabela island.
The location was great, I love hearing the ocean everyday and breakfast was good and coffee was great. They serve the breakfast upstairs with the nice ocean view. The hotel is close to everything.
Nice hotel on isabella with free drinking water. Host was very welcoming. Kitchen can be used by all. Also free washing of your clothes !! You can also book tours in the hotel.
This hotel is a great value and within pleasant walking distance to restaurants and more. The staff arranged a great tour for us, and was helpful with local information.
The owner, Jackson is very nice and helpful. He met me at the dock and took me to his hotel. He personally escorted me to a local restaurant which was very good.
The ocean and an amazing beach just in front of the hotel made up for some inconveniences. The host was really nice and always around if you needed something.
honestly felt more like a hotel rather than a hostel! rooms were spotless and cleaned every day.
lovely view from the rooftop and nice spacious kitchen.
