All of the staff is very friendly and go above and beyond to help you. Breakfast was great, the free cofee and hot/cold water was a plus. We booked a half day tour in their tour agency and had a great experience. Located just a few minutes walking distance to restaurants, markets, souvenir shops, tour agencies etc.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The staff is incredible - so friendly and helpful! We booked one of our tours through their travel agency as well and thought it was great. The hotel organized our transportation to and from the airport, which was nice because it involved a car, water taxi, and bus. Very much recommend this place if you are staying on Santa Cruz in the Galapagos!

Staff was very friendly, cordial. We arrived early and they made every effort to have our room ready as soon as possible without even asking. They greeted us with a glass of cold tea which was very good and much needed because we were thirsty from walking from the pier to the hotel. They also let us know that the breakfast time had already finished but since the following day we were leaving early to take the ferry they could offer us the included breakfast on the day of our arrival, so we had a wonderful and homey breakfast with eggs, ham, cheese, coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt and it was heaven because we had just come by ferry and hadn't had time to have breakfast. They had water, coffee and tea at the lobby all day. We could walk to the main pier and shopping and dining areas easily, safely and comfortably.

We really enjoyed the 3 nights we spent here. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. They stored our luggage when we went to another Island for a couple of days. The rooms on the first floor are a little noisy, but we are early risers, so it was okay.

Excellent host and highly recommend! We are a family with kids therefore needed additional space and comfort, GD provided great service, good breakfast, clean, and close to many options like the beach, port, food, bakery and mini market nearby. Will say here again.

We stayed for one night at this property and everything was great! The room was well appointed and even had a mini fridge. We were given delicious juice upon arrival. Water pressure was great. Their common areas/bar are really cool and this is a unique and fun property. We will be back!

This property was awesome for a stay and we wish we would have been able to stay longer. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable. The little kitchen area was a wonderful amenity in the room and the 2nd sink was so handy to have for 3 adults sharing a room. The staff was super friendly and even made us to go breakfasts the minute they arrived since our ferry was leaving at the exact time breakfast officially started. It was a perfect stay! My only complaint was that we were not there longer!

Lovely little spot with lovely staff. I will say: between rain on the various metal and plexiglass surfaces, guests getting up at 6am, and in general lots of activity in the dining area early in the morning and into the evening, I didn't sleep great. It's noisy.

Good value for the price. Food was great, staff were awesome and helpful. There are different parts to the hotel/hostal. My room was above lobby and next to patio. Heard later night and early morning noises as thin walls to those rooms. When booking their $30 pickup fee from the airport - be aware you also need to buy a $5 ticket from the airport to south wnd of Baltra and a $1 fee to cross on the ferry.

Galapagos Dreams is a total scam. The hotel is filthy and disgusting. The rooms have bugs crawling around and the beds are hard as rocks and only twin mattresses pushed together. There is NO POOL and the WIFI is unusable!

Very friendly place to stay. Goes the extra mile to accommodate guest. Called a taxi for us the morning we left and told the driver where we needed to go, great service when visiting a location where we did not speak the language. Within 2 blocks from the wharf and some great restaurants.

Jonathan and the rest of the staff were all helpful and very well-organized. They helped us plan our 4-day stay on the Galapagos, including helping us book trips and lending us resources (such as wet suits and a GoPro) when needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with AC. Breakfast was simple but good. Thank you!

This family run business is friendly, very helpful and always willing to help. As a solo woman traveler they have taken excellent care of me, going up and beyond to collect me when I have needed it. Jonathan and his brothers run an excellent establishment. I shall definitely recommend this place to others. They have made my stay on the Galápagos Islands very pleasurable.

It is a very nice place, with a great team. They also can organize day trips (maybe more but we went on day trips) that are just 100%. We went twice, with the same guide who is not only nice and speaks English fluently but is also very knowledgeable. When we'll be back to the Galapagos, we'll stay here again.

Fake photos and fake listing are on website. I was told I would be picked up from the port and I waited there but I did not get picked up. When the taxi I paird for dropped me off at a tour organizing office Here I was told I had to pay for the room ahead of time and I was aggressively asked about buying an expensive sightseeing boat tour the next day. I thank god I did not buy this be as I was tired from the very bumpy and noxious smelling speed boat taxi prior. Water taxi was three hours of hell. Then I had to walk with my bags in rocky streets to another location to a different hotel where I was given a tiny unfinished room with no window. This was a nightmare that I hope to save you from. I complained to the hotel manager and he spoke not one word of English and I was forced to stay there as there was no possibility of a refund

Web description and reviews were bang on- all expectations met. Warm welcome and wonderful hospitality from all staff. Very helpful in arranging things to do during short stay. Room was clean and adequate . excellent location - few minutes walk to main street. Good value for the rates and would definitely recommend...They also went out of their way to help me with my departure when my pre set arrangements were confusing - they went the extra mile to ensure i was ok and on my way ..exceptional service !

Best family hospitality you can imagine, it is just like being at home with the differents that you dont have to make your bed-cook or clean; but there is a kitchen free of charge if you choose to do so. If you ever in Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos, you most check Galapagos Deams out; youll love it I promise you
