I stayed for two nights and had a generally pleasant experience. The staff were lovely, though sometimes it took a while for them to be available. The dorm was nice, but the shower pressure was very low and it could have been cleaner, as there were quite a few ants. This didn’t bother me much, but it might for others. The location is excellent, especially for early ferries, and the atmosphere is lovely.

L'emplacement est top (en plein centre), le prix est abordable, le personnel est disponible et dans l'ensemble agréable, les lieux communs sont très sympathiques avec les hamacs etc. La salle de bain + toilettes accolées à la chambre est appréciable. Les lits sont assez petits mais confortables avec en bonus une clim, juste je trouve qu'il manque d'intimité dans les chambres (pas de rideaux aux lits), et les installations sont un peu désuètes notamment la cuisine et les ustensiles.

C’est le 1e auberge que je fréquente et qui refait le lit des dortoirs chaque jour. Merci pour la qualité du service et de l’accueil.

Lage ist sehr gut, Mitarbeiter sind auch sehr nett und hilfreich. Leider funktioniert ein Schrank nicht, indem man seine Wertsachen reintun konnte. Man bekommt Handtücher, man kann draußen schön ruhig auf einer Hängematte chillen. Das Bett war gut und bequem. Leider musste ich das Hostel wechseln, weil ich mit meinem Zimmerpartner nicht klargekommen bin und das Hostel kein weiteres Zimmer für mich hatte.

Decent hostel considering it is the Galapagos but for the same price you are able to get a private room elsewhere. I went for socialising which there unfortunately wasn't any

Good value for money and a good place to explore the Galapagos from. Okay kitchen - good enough for basic cooking

Great hostel in the centre of Puerto Ayora. The hostel gives you a fresh towel every day which is a nice touch. Staff can help you with information you need.

✨ Un petit coin de paradis ✨ J’ai adoré mon séjour dans cet hôtel ! L’endroit est tout simplement superbe, décoré avec goût et baigné d’une ambiance paisible qui invite vraiment au repos. On s’y sent bien, comme à la maison, grâce à l’accueil chaleureux des hôtes et à la bienveillance qui règne dans chaque recoin. La localisation est idéale, à proximité de tout, tout en étant suffisamment à l’écart pour profiter du calme. Le cadre est top, parfait pour se...

Decent hostal. Nice garden area with hammocks. Staff were very kind and helpful. Wish there were curtains, no privacy in your bed.

Best hostel on island. Great location, beds comfy and made everyday with new towels daily. AC on all day. Good equipped kitchen. Nice social area. Worker super helpful and booked diving tours (good price, had the best dive at Gordon rocks) and ferries too. Was hesitant when booked with reviews but def was better than expected for price.

Great value, has what is needed. Went for diving so I barely spend time at the hostal apart from going to sleep. Family lives next to the all female sharing room, they woke up 2 days in a raw at 5 am blasting the news and making lots of noise. Chatted with the administrator and next morning was better 🙂

Nice hostel for staying a couple nights, however little to no atmosphere. I think this is common to all hostels in Galapagos though. Staff were helpful and room was nice with AC

Decent place to stay! Near the beach, very close to the other tour companies + snorkel rental places! A lot of mosquitos (remember to bring bug spray) and unclean kitchen (had ants and flies all over). Staff was extremely kind (family owned place) and the rooms were comfortably air-conditioned! A LOT OF BUGS in the room, not for the squeamish! They crawl underneath the door so there’s no stopping them from coming in
