Front desk was excellent. Property was well located. There are a lot of stairs, even the 1st floor will be up about 18 steps. If you want variety of breakfast options dont go with the included breakfast. Only two options American and Ecuadoran.
We stayed there for 3 nights. All the stuff was extemely helpful. The central location was very convenient.The room was big and clean.Wifi worked great.
Carlos & Abigail make you feel like Familia. They work tirelessly to make your stay the best it can be. I will be returning to Santa cruz in 2 weeks & I already have my reservation to stay with them again.
Only a couple blocks from the ferries to the other Galapagos Islands, this hotel is perfectly located. I could not say more about the hosts' generosity and hospitality!! I had a large and lovely balcony overlooking the quiet street below. On the top floor of the hotel is an amazing common area with a balcony which gives a magnificent view of the harbor area. At a very affordable price, this hotel is a diamond in the rough!!
This was a sweet mom and pop place that I am so happy to support. Carlos who I believe is the owner was incredibly kind. The location was also incredibly convenient. If you need the late hour service of a big hotel you won’t find that here but I needed a comfortable convenient place to stay with great service and that was definitely here.
The hotel was fantastic. Clean and close to everything. Everyone was very helpful, even when my dad got sick on our trip. Overall it was a great place to stay for the price.
Loved my 5-night stay here! The staff was so lovely, polite and helpful. Room was nice and big for a single traveller. Loved the balcony and the pillows were confortable. Only down sides were the water pressure of the shower and the noise coming from the street and the school across the street.
But still, would go back anytime :)
Carlos was very informative about what there was to do in the area, and for almost exclusive English speakers like us, a pleasant surprise. The room was bright and airy with a luxurious balcony lined with bouganvillae. Located a couple of minutes walk from Charles Darwin Avenue and about 15 minutes from the museum/center and 3-minutes walk from the the port/malécon.
Very conveniently located near the pier, restaurants, travel agencies, and shops. Very welcoming and helpful staff and rooms are clean and nice. Not very noisy and comfortable.
Excellent stay! Location was perfect, staff was always friendly and greeted us upon return, and the room was spacious and comfortable.

Jose was lovely and the property was in a very good location, close to the marina. There were also two delicious restaurants downstairs, one open until 9 PM. However, it was a very basic three star hotel room. Our room backed onto a school, which was very noisy early in the morning and they played football late into the evening. Decent value for a rustic, basic stay.
Fantastic hotel and reception that goes above and beyond to answer any questions, help in any way and make you feel like you are part of the family. Hotel has a common area/kitchen with cooking capabilities and fridge available for all guests to use which was a very nice bonus!
Carlos is very hospitable. From the time we came in to the time we left, the customer service was amazing. Highly recommended, very near the main port and right next to a great bakery.
Un lugar acogedor. La mini suite fue perfecta para mi familia tuvimos suficiente espacio. Una sala pequena y refrigeradora. El staff muy amable y entrenado para dar los mejores tips the donde comer y a donde ir. El deli de alado tiene unos sándwiches deliciosos y a buen precio.
