The host was amazing and very accommodating! Had a wonderful breakfast every day about 15 min walk from the pier, they provided water as well!

Wifi should work better. Low pressure in shower and bathroom could be cleaner.

We spent lovely week here with my wife. When we arrived Jackson was welcoming us with the sign in the port. Jackson and other people made us feel very comfortable. Jackson arranged trips (Isla Tortuga and Los Tuneles) for us with cheaper price than you can get by walking around and negotiating it by yourself. Breakfast was good and last morning they even prepared it for us at 4:30 am because we had early ferry to Santa Cruz. We caught tuna at Isla Tortuga trip and Jackson and his wife (?) cooked it for us at the same day and we had very delicious dinner together. Thank you for everything! 😊

Everything! Jackson, the host, is amazing and incredibly friendly. He picked us up at the Harbour and then gave us a tour of the area and showed us the best spots for dinner, sunset and stores. He helped us organize everything we needed (tours, bikes,…) during our time quickly and very cheap. The hotel itself is very cute, super clean and lies perfectly in a quiet neighborhood which is close to the city center. Jackson and his wife made us wonderful breakfast and welcomed us with open arms. I cannot recommend this place enough :) Thank you for everything!

The shower head should be replaced for better usage of the facility.

Good breakfast: omlette, local fruits salad and fresh juice. The owners are nice and supportive with everything you might need.

Nothing - all was good

Jackson was really helpful and organized trips to the volcano and tunnels and rented us bikes for a really good price. The breakfast was also good and the room was very clean and comfortable! I would definitely recommend staying here.

Hotel still under construction (but it didn't bother us). Kitchen a bit basic for cooking and no fridge. No hot water during our stay.

Warm welcome by the owner at the ferry arrival. He is very thoughtful and made us feel very comfortable during our stay. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and we could choose when to eat. Owner arranged tours, bike rentals and laundry for us. We're very thankful for everything!

the port is not very close

the hosts are kind and helpful on the first day he picked us up at the airport and then took us around the city for half an hour to show us the sites of interest and to advise us where to eat. The breakfast is very good, bread, egg, jam, juice with fresh fruit, fruit salad, tea and coffee. the room is very quiet and you sleep well at night. I recommend it. The bed Is very comfortable.

Met us at ferry to take us to hotel. Walked with us around the town to show us good places to eat and how to find our way back to hotel. Good breakfast.

Nothing. It was a magical time.

The host is exceptional. He makes you feel like you’re part of the family and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great time.

Amelia and Jackson were wonderful hosts that helped us arrange everything from the hostal (tours, bike rentals, taxis - even though the taxi failed to show up) The hostal is in a very quiet neighborhood.

WiFi works fine but is slow sometimes. Like a “tortuga”! :-)

The greatest thing by no doubt was the hospitality of the owner! Señor Jackson came to pick us up at the port for free and showed us around in town after we checked in. He was very willing to help us with anything. Furthermore the breakfast was good and the room was fine.

The location is a little far from the beach but it is a tiny town, really easy walking distance to anywhere.

The host is extremely friendly and helpful. Willing to make guests a comfortable stay.

Stayed in June 2023

WiFi doesn't work at all, like the rest of the island. It is easy to get a SIM however which does work

Excellent air con, very big she comfortable bed, nice shower. Owner is extremely helpful and can arrange tours at a fair price.

Jackson and Amelia are excellent hosts. They guide you with everything during all your stay. Jackson has special prices of excursions on Isabela. First of all, he awaits you at the pier with a sign with your name on it, something I was not expecting at all. They receive your with a coffee or tea and after leaving your stuff in the room, Jackson shows you around the Puerto Villamil. The room had all the commodities : shower with hot water, air conditioning, tv and a lot of space in the room. The WiFi worked doing its best, although on the whole island the signal is weak. Enough to check the mails and social media as well as making some phone calls (I even had a 2-hours video call).

Jackson may well be the loveliest Ecuadorian you meet, he is an excellent host and goes out of his way to ensure you have a great stay. The hostel is a short walk from the centre and was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was great.

Stayed in April 2023

Wifi not good and only in public area available. No signal in the rooms. Location not in the center - 10 Minutes walking to the center

Great breakfast (except the ham and cheese), owner was the best! Great bathroom. Tours to affordable prices - los Túneles for 110 Dollars, Tintoreras for 45 dollars

Stayed in April 2023

it was not quite what we expected, as the pictures of the hostel and the description were maybe a bit misleading, the hostel is still very much under construction, which we didn’t realise. Also, the surrounding area was a little run down and out of the centre of town. However, we had an amazing time here as Jackson and his wife Amelia were the most warm hearted and welcoming hosts we could have hoped for. they really went out of their way to accommodate our every wish.

very clean rooms, extremely helpful staff, nice breakfast and very good value for money. Jackson, the host came to pick us up at the ferry which was a lovely surprise and even gave us a tour of the town and offered us tea and coffee when we arrived. he organised all the tours for us as well, and at better rates than if you go into the tour operator offices. he was always kind and helpful with anything that we needed and he would go out of his way to help us.

Bit out of the city centre

Really nice and friendly owner, had a great stay on Isabela. Welcomed us with tea and coffee and arranged all the tours for us. We even had a free coconut one day. Felt more like a homestay than a hotel:) superfriendly people. Highly recommended.

When you have Amelia, sitting next to you, you can leave yourself to her capable hands. She was arranging everything the minute we have landed in the island. We only told her what we wanted, she did the rest with her beautiful smile. We are grateful! Do not miss to meet Amelia when you are in lovely Isabela!

Incredibly nice and caring owner who picks you up from the port, shows you around in town and helps with the booking of tours. Nice rooms and hot showers. Just a few minutes of walking from the beach. 100% recommended
