Lovely staff and the room was clean and spacious. Good to have a water bottle refill station too, to reduce plastic use. Small kitchen if you need it. Easy walk from the pier and to the Charles Darwin centre.

The hotel was average. Breakfast wasn’t great and it was very noisy all night long. The location is great & the staff was helpful. If you’re looking for a basic hotel this was great. Tips: to get to Santa Cruz take the airport bus($5), a water taxi to other side ($1) & bus to main road ($5). It’s cheaper than taking a private taxi & it takes the same amount of time. It leaves you off right on the main road & the hotel is 2 blocks away.

The property was acceptable clean. But the the wifi service was only available in the lobby not in the rooms. It would have been great a small refrigerator and coffee maker in the rooms. A cup of coffee is expensive and very bad in this area. If you are a coffee drinker and like it with milk, this is very important.
The pool is so tiny that it looks like a kiddie pool.
If you travel in a budget and need a clean place this is the one for you.

I had a room on the 4th floor and it was very difficult to carry 4 suitcases all by myself because my daughtet is not strong enough to help. They should have a bell boy to.provide this service

Front desk staff was extremely helpful to arrange tours and ferry tickets. The location was great, since you can easily walk to the pier, Darwin station and food kiosks. Only complain - they were sneaky and omitted some information. For example, they omitted to let us know that hotel was under renovation and that some areas will be restricted (pool) and there will be construction during the day. Also, wifi was only available in the lobby. Overall, it is a good place and location for the price.

Clean, roomy, great location, bilingual desk workers, private bathrooms with hot showers, and more!
Only minor difficulty was there wasn’t a lot of pots/pans and dishes for preparing your own personal food.

Primary RED flag on Hotel Espana is NOISE LEVEL! Street traffic noise is extreme combined with the disco next door results in a high level of noise that I find acceptable. Would not stay again!

If you like to receive the Wi-Fi and air conditioning that you are paying for, I highly suggest that you do not stay at this hotel. During the 3 days I was there, the Wi-Fi worked once for about 10 minutes. At first the staff said that it was because the island doesn't have fiber optic and the internet is bad everywhere. Upon further questioning, it was determined that it's because they share their internet among too many people. I don't know what that means, but I do know that I moved down the street to a cheaper place and the internet works perfectly fine. Most of the time...it is the Galapagos, after all. Since I travel solo and need to be able to contact my family, having zero access to internet was quite stressful. Also, the air conditioner in my room was so loud that I couldn't sleep with it on at all. And, the owners let their children have the run of the place at all hours....making lots of noise, even as late as 10pm one night. The shared kitchen is filthy and has very few utensils, plates, etc. No one seemed to care about the happiness of the guests.
