    Great bang for your buck - A/C & Pool a must!

    The bathroom tended to have a slight humidity smell each time I returned to my room, but I suspect it's just a factor of the area's heat and humidity, so I doubt it could be fixed.

    The hotel boasted a delightful courtyard, a rejuvenating pool, the most accommodating receptionist in town, complete with a charming doggo named Chocolate (they even have a statue of him haha). Byron, the receptionist, exuded warmth, extending a welcoming demeanour and providing invaluable recommendations. The air conditioning in the bedrooms, along with the inviting swimming pool and cozy hammocks, were ideal following a day of snorkelling or volcano trekking. Conveniently attached to a fantastic café, the hotel is close proximity to karaoke bars, a municipal recreational area, and a plaza offering an array of local food options. Within a 5-minute stroll, I was at the beachfront. Breakfast featured delights including fresh juice, pastries, scrambled eggs, yogurt, granola, fruits, and coffee. Byron's thoughtfulness extended to preparing an early breakfast for me ahead of a 7 AM volcano hike pick-up, showcasing his exceptional hospitality.

    Very nice hotel. Very good breakfast. Puerto Villamil is very small. Position of this hotel is so close to everything. Pool was very nice to use in the evening. Very comfy and clean room. Isabela was my favourite place to stay during my Galapagos trip. It is so beatiful place that I wish I could spend there much more time!

    We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Loja. The man on reception (Byron) is so super kind and friendly. The breakfast every day was great and they switched it up which was good. They will also make an earlier breakfast if needed for your tour.

    Fantastic hotel with patio where you can relax and spend time instead of sitting in the room. Nice pool available as well as place for sunbathing. Very delicious breakfast. Staff was very helpful. Rooms are relatively small but beds comfortable. Ten minutes walk to the beach area.

    the one room for 4 adults (3 twins, 1 queen or king bed) was functional on a budget but felt a little bit cramped since we stayed here so long; in retrospect would have asked for an upper level room (did a lot of water activities, would have liked to have the walkway handrail to hang things to dry)

    great location; pool and hammock area; delicious breakfast; friendly front desk staff; stayed 4 nights and would do so again -- compared to other hotels we saw around this island, this one was on the higher end of quality without entering the luxury beach-front properties

    By far our favourite hotel of all four that we stayed at on Galapagos! Friendly, helpful, welcoming reception staff that booked our tours of Isabela at a great price and were always there when we needed them. The clean, comfortable, big room with a modern bathroom was a pleasure. The large breakfast offered some variety (unusual for Ecuador). The pool is a cool addition and nice to chill around. Close enough to all the restaurants, the beach and the centre.
