Liked: Staff & service
Lovely gardens tended by the owners. I had a Small room with a high inaccessible window - so no view. No blankets on bed which would have been welcomed. I had to wear track pants and a hoodie to bed. I asked for a table lamp for reading instead of the overhead lighting but none were available. Very simple room but some things were missing to make it work better for me.

I recently stayed at a wonderful family-owned hostel that I can’t recommend highly enough for travelers seeking a low-key experience. The atmosphere was warm and making it feel like home away from home. The hostel was clean and provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Daniel, who speaks excellent English, was a fantastic host. He shared invaluable insights about San Cristobal Island, helping me so much. I felt completely safe exploring the area on foot, enjoying the relaxing time on the island.

Note that this review is based on a father and 5yr old son travelling in the Galapagos Islands. Booking for San Cristobal was rather last minute and when the search results highlighted this property for budget, location, and cleanliness / comfort, I selected it. I knew the moment we walked in we had made the right decision. The family run hotel was really good. As we were out all day, every day, when we come back we want a comfortable, clean bed, some aircon, and a hot shower. There was one double bed for us and we both slept well. The shower was good but don't look at appearances, it works. The family were so kind and friendly towards us that they merit an additional mention. We were welcomed and made to feel very much at home. It's not far from the main street and ferry, there are laundries, some shops, and a wonderful bakery close to the place.

Nice clean, quiet, simple room. We were a family of 4 and got a suite. Open and airy. They do limit your water usage so be aware of that. Only 2 of us got a shower that night.

FANTASTIC Hostel. Marco and his family/staff were friendly and professional, zero negative issues, ALL good. Very quiet for 3 nights, just a 5 min walk from the pier and all else. Quick check-in. Room was clean & comfortable, great air conditioning and Wi-Fi. They even stored my bag my last morning after check-out so I could hike until my afternoon boat departure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The best budget choice

The Galapagos Islands are expensive but this was an excellent budget choice. We got two separate bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen all to ourselves. Go to the local market to buy cheap veggies and fruit and you'll be able to prepare relatively cheap meals. Free drinking was really appreciated. Lovely, attentive host. You can see absolutely loads of free wildlife viewing on the beaches/broadwalk close to the hostal.
