Incredibly friendly family owned hostal! Our room was big and cozy, with great air conditioning and a hot shower. The couple who run the hostel were so kind and gave us heaps of information to help make the most of our time on the island. The hostal is a 15 minute walk from town, but we didn’t mind this as it meant for quiet nights. Would definitely recommend, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! Filtered drinking water available too!

I adored the mother and daughter who keep this hotel running. They were helpful and had a wealth of knowledge about things to do in the area. I can't recommend this hotel enough for anyone interested in a more extended stay in Santa Cruz. I applaud them for their patience as I tried to navigate Spanish.

Location: In the town for local shops, market and bus stop. Less than 5min walk to the beachfront restaurants and bars. Size of the room was generous and v comfortable. Hammocks and comfortable areas for relaxing as well as everything practical we could have needed: a well stocked kitchen, lockable cupboard in the room, lots of airing space for drying clothes. Good wifi - there is little to no signal on Galapagos and they had a starlink that provided the best wifi we found on the islands. Code-locked front gate meant you could come and go at leisure. Staff were very helpful: helped us to understand the bus to Santa Rosa (every 15mins 8am-10pm) for the El Chato Reserve to save money on taxis and even watched our bags for us the day we checked out so we could enjoy one more beach day before we left. There were bikes available to rent from the owners but we didn't use them. Also recommend ALMAR waterfront restaurant.

The kitchen is very nice! Spacious and a lot of stove space so that more than one person can cook at the same time. The outside common area is stunning, very green and well taken care of. The bed was comfy and there is ac. I stayed in a two beds room so it was very spacious. The bathroom are good, big showers and good water flow. Good location! Is very close to the harbour.

    The hostel has a comfortable shared area. The kitchen is very big and very well equipped. There are free water refills. Towels and bedsheets get changed every day. The place is centrally located and very close to the central food street (cheap menu del dia). They have an onsite bike rental shop. I could leave my bags on the way from Isabela to San Cristobal for 6 hours and use the facilities. The place was very social when I was there. Highly recommended!

    Great location, spacious, clean and comfy rooms with air con. I was slightly disappointed the hostel is quite dated and also doesn't have a common space or kitchen, doesn't offer water refills as most places do. I would recommend staying here for a 1 or 2 nights only.

    Great location for a good price. Friendly staff. The aircon was decent enough to keep the room cool. The bed is huge, as it is two small double beds put together, and you don't notice any gap in the middle. Next door to one of the best restaurants in town and close to everything else, including the best beach in Puerto Ayora, playa de la estación. Decent kitchen with plenty of seating, and free drinking water. Plus you can leave your bags in the hostel after checkout.

    Very clean, looks nicer than average budget hostels in Ecuador, friendly staff, good location - 10 mins to the harbour, but also in a neighbourhood with comedores to eat more cheaply
