Friendly/helpful staff. Budget hotel about 1.5 kms from the main dock. Approximately two blocks away from the real local food experience as well as the markets. Kitchen available if you wish to cook.

Great place to spend the night before going to the adventure Santa Cruz Island has to offer. 15-20 min walk from port which can be turned into a 3 min taxi ride if in a hurry!

Stay away from here

Owner was friendly and helpful but the hotel or B&B grossly overpriced! The neighborhood was away from the tourist area and the outside of the hotel was unappealing. The 10 minute walk to Darwin Street was in a poor section, an old mattress lying about. Breakfast was good. The reception area was poor. I have photos. Worth about $40 a night not the $110 l prepaid and could not cancel reservation

100% Lo Recomiendo 1. Mary Administradora me trato como su hermana. Me dio su whatsaap, lugares para visitar, comer y me preguntaba necesitas mas toallas, lo que necesites. Lo que mas me sorprendio. El taxi esperaba por mi. Yo tenia miedo a los secuestros. Y Mary salio a chequear quien era el taxi y me dijo: "yo lo conozco" Galapagos es seguro. 2. La ubicacion del hotel.Excelente. (en Taxi $2) Esta a 5 minutos del Muelle. Reserva Ch. Darwin. El Malecon y el Mercado. 3.Empleado del hotel Me llevo a la habitacion me abrio la puerta, prendio la tv y el aire acondicionado Nuevo! La habitacion limpia, fresca, la decoracion, los cuadros hermosos. Espejo gigante y La Refrigeradora. 100% I Recommend It:1. Mary, the manager, treated me like a sister. She gave me her WhatsApp number and throughout my stay recommended places to visit and eat, and she asked, if I needed more towels, anything I need I let know her. For me the most awesome: the taxi was waiting for me. I was afraid of kidnappings, but Mary, went out to check who the taxi driver and told me, "I know him. Galapagos is safe. 2. The hotel's location is excellent. (Taxi costs $2) it's a 5-minute to Ferry, Charles Darwin R. 3. Hotel Employee took me to my room, opened the door, and turned on the TV and the brand-new air conditioning! The room was clean the decor excellent, and the pictures beautiful. A giant mirror covered the entire wall and Refrigerator.

La propiedad está a 10 min del centro, lo cual es ideal para descasar y dar un paseo, en la zona hay comercios locales y las personas son amigables. Si bien es cierto que esa parte no es turística, tienes la oportunidad de saber cómo es la realidad de las personas que viven ahí. Buen desayuno, buena limpieza, check in eficiente, pero lo mejor fue el anfitrión, nos ayudaron en todo, nos dieron muchos consejos sobre los puntos que teníamos previsto visitar y pudimos conocer otros nuevos y diferentes que no se promocionan normalmente. Para mi familia, un viaje es ir más allá de lo conocido, y esta propiedad lo cumplió, la recomiendo.

いくら物価が高いと言っても値段と設備が釣り合っていません。 天井近くだけの小窓しかない部屋で冷蔵庫なし、バスルームは多少広いですがあまり綺麗ではありません。 連泊なのにタオルの交換ありませんでした。 唯一プラスを見つけるなら、周囲がローカルエリアなので繁華街より商店やレストランの値段が安いことくらいでしょうか。
