Detailed Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about this little hotel.. Super friendly, the rooms are much better than in the photos and the kitchen is super clean and fully equipped which was a bless for our little family. It is really close to the center like 5 mn walk only. We booked our tours with them at a much better price we managed in the other agencies as well. The price was really soft too compared to other places and the owner did everything so that we are well accommodated. One of our best stay in Ecuador!

The owner of this place is super friendly and our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels provided. There is a kitchen which is free to use and our air conditioning worked very well. The best part was the hot, powerful shower! Great option for Isabela.

Bon accueil.
Chambre assez grande et propre. Nous avions deux petits lits. Salle de bain assez grande et correctement entretenue. Wifi correct.
Hôtel un peu trop excentré du centre, environ 5 minutes de marche.
Rapport qualité prix moyen

The equipment in the hotel is quite old - the bathroom door in our room was difficult to close and open and I ended up locked up in the bathroom. There is no one at the reception. Fortunately, my boyfriend heard me and was able to call the receptionist. They had to call someone to cut the lock out.
It might be ok and it happens, but the reception girl reacted in a surprisingly unpleasant way. She suggested it was our fault that we broke the lock, and that it was up to us to check if everything was ok in the room while checking in. She also mentioned that it was not a « 5 star resort », meaning it was fine to get stuck in their rooms I suppose.
When I finally got out, she didn’t apologise or anything until I went to find her myself. She refused any compensation and suggested sarcastically that I could leave a review.
Also, the windows are difficult to open, and the curtain rod fell on my head multiple times. Kitchen misses basic things like oil hand towels.

A bit in the middle of nowhere. I think it’s a 5-10 minute walk to the Main Street, but the road is unpaved, has no streetlights, there are not many houses etc.
The houses here in the surroundings have lots of dogs, cats, roosters etc. Every night I woke up at 4 am because of dogs barking, cats fighting and the roosters. So bring earplugs!
They don’t speak English.
Wifi didn’t work the first day, but it did the next few days.
The positive things is that it’s new, it has big rooms and also a big kitchen and lounge with a tv. The bathroom was also fine. The bed was good. Everything was clean.
The women that work there are very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was one of the best I had on the Galápagos. There was coffee, tea, milk and fresh juice. Fresh fruit, bread, egg, marmalade and butter (and sometimes cheese).

Upon arrival we were greeted with fresh maracuja juice.
Our room was very clean, so was the bathroom, and it had hot shower.
Air conditioning was working.
There's a spacious kitchen that you can use, drinking water from a separate tap and cold water from a fridge dispenser.
The hosts make you feel welcome.
Top accomodation on Isabela.
The hostel is located within a short walk from the centre and a good restaurant.
The turtle breeding centre is not far.
If there's a room at this hostel, don't hesitate. Go for it!

Très bon accueil de la propriétaire, qui est aux petits soins.
Jolies chambres avec salle de bains, cuisine à disposition, très propre et bien équipée, également utilisée par les propriétaires, salle à manger, oranges et bananes mises à disposition (parfait pour un jus frais, 3$ en ville!). Agréable de pouvoir cuisiner au vu de la pauvreté de l'offre dans les restaurants et des prix pratiqués, alors que beaucoup de produits proviennent de l'île. A 5 min à pied du "centre" et de la plage. Une bonne adresse aux Galapagos!

L'albergo è una casa privata che affitta delle stanze per i viaggiatori. E' uno degli ultimi nel piccolo paese ma in 10 minuti a piedi si raggiunge il centro. La signora è stata molto gentile nell'accoglierci e ci ha offerto una bibita. Le stanze sono grandi e pulite e la qualità del sonno è eccezionale perché intorno non ci sono fonti di rumore. Ottimo prezzo
