    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.

    Great location on a quiet side street. Our host Yogo recommended a very priceworthy tour to Seymour Norte and it was much cheaper than similar tours on Tripadvisor. He also gave us a great tip on a wonderful restaurant off of the main thoroughfare where mostly locals eat.

    Best value for money by far in Puerto Ayora! It's all new and fresh, very clean and very safe. Hot water, room is cleaned daily, shampoo provided. The kitchen was amazing, very well equipped and free drinking water too. The location for us was perfect, being backpackers and on a budget meant that we saw more of the cheaper places to eat than there are in the town.

    Great Hostal on Santa Cruz. We stayed for 5 days and liked it very much! The owners are really awesome, share a lot of tips at check-in and will help you with anything you might need. Everything was really clean and you could see that they cared. It's a 10-15min walk to the harbour but is very safe and no issue at all. Good minimarkets, cheaper restaurants and especially the empanada market!! closeby. If you want to visit Galapagos on a budget, then definitely stay here! Thank you again :)
