This hotel is in a quiet residential area away from the town; it's about a 15-20 minute walk downhill to reach restaurants and shops in the town (or $1.50 in a taxi). I highly recommend dinner at Dimati - good Italian food and lovely staff. The hotel is clean and comfortable, and breakfast is great with some variety across the days. The jacuzzi is only available for a couple of hours in the evenings... ecofriendly :-) Oscar was very helpful and speaks good English.

After you cross the ocean the cheapest way to get to the hotel is, buy a bus ticket to take you to bus terminal, hotel is 5 minutes walk.
Location of hotel is on a hill with a terrace and great view of the island
Mr. Oscar Ramirez as a welcome host and his service, fantastic.
Rest of staff like breakfast cook and server/s great also.
Pool facilities and spa pool great
Overall for such a great low accommodation rate, I felt like I was in a five star hotel/resort
Finally, to waterfront a fifteen minutes walk or a cheap taxi ride.
At waterfront you have already live SEALS and IGUANAS waiting for you to take pictures.
For everyone please be careful, each person has to pay a very expensive entrance fee to Galapagos at airport of Quito or Guayaquil then another fee when you enter Baltra Island, which is horrible way expensive.

Enjoyed our time in Galapagos by staying at this place with a great breakfast and wonderful hospitality. Ronald was great helping us organize all our tours and taxi needs. It’s not quite walking distance to the main area but taxi is only $1.50-$2 and the hotel can help you get a taxi right away.

Our large group found the hotel quite comfortable. Only a few minutes ride away from central downtown so area is more quiet. Easy to get taxi.

Property is clean and well maintained, l liked the kind staff service specially Angel, who was always friendly and ready to help.
I didn't like the noisy specially in the early morning because the breakfast set up and the cars passing by the hotel.
Our last afternoon at the hotel we couldn't use the hot tub since it was supposedly under maintenance or at least that's what the front desk agent told me in addition to other excuses, I wonder if that was just a bit of laziness, either way it was a bit disappointing.
I didn't receive any benefit as Expedia Gold member, at the end of my stay l requested a late check out, once again the same front desk agent asked me for proof that I was a Gold member and the benefit I have, I had to log into my Expedia account and show him so he would believe me.
Once more disappointed.
It needs to improve.

Excellent hotel! The staff is incredible. Such wonderful young people running the hotel. The rooms are huge and spotlessly clean. The free breakfast was made to order eggs with juice, toast and coffee. I haven’t a single complaint about my stay.

Excellent hotel! The staff could not be any friendlier and the hotel is beautiful and sparkling clean. Large rooms, great air conditioning and nice hot showers. The only complaint…the hotel does not respond to messages sent through Expedia and they also never answer the phone. I was not able to schedule my free transportation from the airport because I couldn’t ever get a hold of anyone. The hotel clearly needs to update their contact information.

Party started, very loud, and didn’t end until 730 am. Not much sleep. The room is very nice. Bedding and bed very nice. The room we booked was being serviced so they gave us a different room which was fine.

The description of this hotel is totally inaccurate. There is no restaurant of deli on site. Also, when we booked it stated they provided airport transportation. We requested it multiple times and got the run around. Also, it is on a busy road with trucks and motorcycles going by all night.

Staff is super friendly and attentive, rooms are nice with air conditioning, and yhe provided breakfast each day was nice. Even yhough its a but up grom the main tourist center its very essy to get there either a 15 minute walk or a 5 min taxi ride.

Just awesome!
Stayed for six nights, can’t think of one really negative thing to say about this place or the great people that work there! It is a little ways out of town, but you never have to wait more than a couple minutes for a taxi ($2) either to or from the hotel.

The room was nice. The staff was great. Oscar and Angel were very helpful. They recommend restaurants and a tour with a taxi driver that turned out to be very good. They helped us with our bags. They made a great effort to communicate with us in English even though they had some limitations. They deserve an increase in their wages. The property is a little distance from the main strip. The $1.50 taxi ride is very cheap but it can be a problem when you start to run out of small bills.
