2/10 Poor

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!!!

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

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 Fair

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.

6/10 Good

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.

CLOSED
While this hotel was booked through travelocity and was assured that the booking was valid, the place was closed and was not in the process of reopening. Fortunately, I found another and better hotel on my own. BTW, I bumped into the previous owner of the hotel and told him of my experience and he assured me that he told travelocity that the hotel closed. Travelocity has also goofed on prior occasions and it is prudent to always call your hotel directly after you book to make sure they are open and have your reservations. I could not find the hotel's number on the travelocity site nor googling it, so I could not do this for this trip.

Hotel sencillo con pocos detalles
Multitud de detalles fallaron: acababan de pintar y la habitación tenía un fuerte olor a pintura, muy desagradable. No admitían nada más que pago en metálico. En la ducha no tuvimos agua caliente en varias ocasiones. No tenían secador de pelo, incluso prestado de recepción. El bar/restaurante que había justo debajo de la habitación hacía un ruido enorme hasta bien entrada la madrugada, con lo que era difícil descansar. El hotel está bastante destartalado y necesitaría algo más que una mano de pintura.

Decepcionada
Cheguei no Hotel, por volta das 11:30hs estava fechado, não tinha nínguém para me dar maiores informações, não recebi nenhum informação com antecedência. Tive que arrumar outro Hotel. Quando estava no aeroporto recebi uma mensagem atravês do expedia do horário do check-in 08:30hs.

Es una buena opción de hospedaje
Es una buena opción de hospedaje en Puerto Ayora, es muy económico, la tarifa incluye el desayuno, es mas una casa de huéspedes, el personal es muy atento. La ubicación es muy buena ya que está en la avenida principal y muy cerca del muelle y de las tiendas para hacer compras.

Nice place - but be careful
The hotel is alright. It takes a few minutes until the hot water makes its way from the boiler to the room. And: somebody stole 20 out of 180 Dollars from my wallet when I left it in the room.

Non male
Albergo molto pulito, ordinato, con una bella terrazza nell'area della colazione. In camera c'è una grande tv a schermo piatto, l'aria condizionata e bagno privato con l'acqua calda (nessuna di queste cose sono scontate nei lodge delle Galapagos). La colazione consiste in uova, mortadella, cornetto vuoto, burro e marmellata. Nel periodo in siamo stati nell'albergo la connessione Wifi funzionava solo nella reception e non era disponibile in camera. La camera viene pulita ogni giorno ed anche gli asciugamani vengono cambiati ogni giorno (cosa non comune nei lodge) La posizione è perfetta: nel bel mezzo di avenida Charles Darwin, la strada principale. Nonostante tutti i vantaggi elencati sopra il Lodge e' piuttosto impersonale: a parte la zona colazione il resto non è affascinante e ha alcuni piccoli difetti: non c'è lo specchio in bagno, non c'è nessun posto/balcone dove è possibile asciugare il costume da bagno, le scale per salire alle camere sono piccole e scomode per trasportare i bagagli. A Puerto Ayora, in questa fascia di prezzo (60$ a notte), ci sono molte opzioni che, se non avete bisogno di aria condizionata e tv a schermo piatto, potrebbero essere preferibili.

A localização é excelente e as instalações, ruins.
Pelo valor cobrado, poderia haver um cuidado maior. Recomendável apenas em caso de falta de opção.
