Now known as Hostel Elizabeth, it was money well spent. Complete staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean and cleaned daily. Place was very relaxed and safe. Solid WiFi in the communal area. Great location! Place is right on the main strip but far enough away from bars/restaurants to hear any of it.

I would recommend this place to everyone :-) It is close to the harbor, the beach and to the darwin center, so you can do everything from this hotel.... More

hey all, extremely convenient location with rooms at great price and wifi provided at the main area. i stayed alone for 3 nights at around 16.80 a room. for your own privacy, your own toilet and a nice fan at night. it is well worth the price. town/supermarket is literally 1 min away.

We stayed here for three nights at the beginning of our island hopping and one night before leaving. It is located in a great place, very close to the pier. We arrived at around 1 and were immediately given a room. Senora Vilma was very friendly and with her small amount of english and my small amount of spanish we... More

we stayed in this hotel for 4 nights and like it there. The owner was very friendly and greeted us as if we were friends. the hotel is located in the center of town. the room was spacious and clean. unfortunately, the bathroom was included in the room which means that the walls of the bathroom didn't reach the ceiling....

For the money it can't be beat. Friendly owner, good internet (lobby only) and the rooms are large enough. Hard beds, so check. They gave me a new mattress when I asked to change rooms due to the hard bed. The showers are warm, but electricly heated with an overhead heater. I too got a few electric shocks, but you... More

A family run hotel located on the beachfront in puerto ayora. The owner Wilma is very nice and accommodating. Breakfast not included but the owner will let you use the kitchen and fridge if you ask. Location is great and we couldn't find anywhere else cheaper to stay in the Galapagos. The rooms are OK, comfy bed for hard bed... More

The Galapagos is pricey but for a double bed with private shower here was just $22.40/night! Great location really close to the Harbour, centre of town and supermarket. Rooms are basic but are perfect for what you need as you really shouldnt spend too much time indoors. The owner Felipe is great, he helped me get a discount on a... More

It seemed to be one of the rare budget places at Puerto Ayora – even if it costs 30 USD without breakfast, which seems to be quite a lot for the small room. But the location is perfect: near the port, the busstation, the supermarket, restaurants etc.

Located just 1 min from the center and the harbour, and on the main street. The rooms are not fancy, but clean and nice. Felipe, the owner, is an amazing person and so helpful, e.g. arranging trips etc. Try to get a room on one of the higher floors. Free wifi as well.
