Galapagos Morning Glory

Puerto Ayora

Galapagos Morning Glory is located 15 minutes’ walk from the beachfront within a commercial area featuring banks and shops in Puerto Ayora. Free WiFi access is available on site.

Guests will enjoy comfortable accommodations with a garden area. The full bathroom includes free toiletries. Love this place so much! The host was so nice and made sure I had everything. It’s near everything. He also sent me a nice message with all the activities to do on the island. It honestly felt like I was home or at my uncle house which is a nice feeling to have especially when you are traveling alone in a foreign country. I definitely recommend this place!

Hostal La Mirada del Solitario George 3 stars

Puerto Ayora

La Mirada del Solitario George is located in Puerto Ayora, just 4 minutes’ drive from Charles Darwin Station and next to Cazares School. Free WiFi zones are available in some areas of the hostel and tea, coffee and water is available for guests. Great option to stay at, the owner was very helpful taking the time to provide each guest with a summary of what to do in town and helped us secure alternate accommodation when we needed to extend our stay at short notice. the kitchen is well equiped. It is about a 10 min walk to the main part of town but not an issue.

Ocean Dreams Galapagos

Puerto Ayora

Featuring a bike rental service, Ocean Dreams offers self-catering accommodation. Free WiFi access is available.

Rooms at Ocean Dreams have a modern décor and feature air conditioning, and a flat-screen cable TV, while suites feature a air-conditioning and a flat-screen cable TV, as well as a microwave and a refrigerator. All of the private bathrooms also come with a shower and free toiletries. The owner is incredibly nice and helpful, even with very basic English skills she makes everything work. She takes care of you and any requests you might have. The tour and taxi she organised was very good and cheap as well. The hotel is nicely located with like 5 minutes to the sea and 10 minutes to Darwin center (no need to go there). The air conditioning works, the water pressure is okay (it's excellent in some rooms), the whole hotel is clean - so I can recommend Oceans Dreams absolutely and without any doubts. I can't emphasize enough how likeable and nice and heartwarming the owner is. Being there didn't feel like business but more like family.
