Ocean Dreams Galapagos
4.4/517 Reviews

Ocean Dreams Galapagos

Puerto Ayora|0.46km from city center
Cheerful and helpful owner (Amanda) & family. Not a lot of English spoken (bar Sergey, when he was around, and another girl at reception who we only met once) so without some Spanish there can be misunderstandings. Staff also very friendly and helpful. lnternet was poor (general problem in Galapagos I think) and caused problem paying bill as it failed in mid transaction with CC and we ended up duplicating the payment. To be fair Amanda went straight to bank to cancel as soon as we discovered it - money was back in our a/c in a week or so. Most rooms are good with spotless tiled floors - we ended up sampling 3 different rooms in our 4 night stay (1 night and then 3 more following a gap of a few days). One on 1st floor at the back of building was a big room with mini kitchen incl sink, fridge and microwave but was overlooked by closely adjacent property so we just kept curtains closed most of time which made it a bit gloomy. Equiv room on 3rd floor which we had for a couple of nights was a good room. Twin room on top floor (4th) which we had for 1 night was small but gave you easy access to the rough roof terrace which had a few chairs which we used to have a beer and some snacks watching the sun go down. All rooms we stayed in were noisy though - probably applies to much of Puerto Ayora accommodation - continuous cars in C Seymour, dogs, cockerels from 4 or even earlier, water pumps, etc. etc. not the best if you are a light sleeper. Normally we left the windows open - closing them helped a little but not much. Breakfast was reasonable - not laid out in a buffet but brought on request. Fresh fruit juice, eggs as you prefer, bread/toast, coffee/tea, fruit if you asked for it. Overall were happy enough with the place, esp Amanda & staff and would stay again but not in the room on 1st floor and I'd bring good earplugs.
Capitan Max B&B
4.7/555 Reviews

Capitan Max B&B

Puerto Ayora|1.13km from city center
We (me, my wife and our 5Y old daughter) stayed in Capitan Max B&B for five nights and it was literally perfect - best lodging experience in Ecuador hands down. After booking the room one of the hosts (Lourdes) contacted me and shared all the information I needed when arriving in Galapagos and she also offered a selection of tours we could take once on the islands. We booked two day tours and one tour on the island through them (incl. pick-up from the airport) and with her suggestions, we were able to see exactly what we came there for. The tours were done by respectable companies, everything went very smoothly and the pricing was fair. So I would definitely suggest organizing your day trips through them as well, no need to waste your time searching online or on the main street, you probably won't get a better offer. When we arrived, we were greeted and taken care of by the friendliest guy you ever meet - mr Pedro. He had some very good tips on the Santa Cruz island hotspots and how to get around town, he made a delicious breakfast, helped us with all the questions and even let us use his personal computer so we could participate on our parliamentary elections! Thank you so much! The room was clean and very nice, the hammock in a room was of course the instant favorite of our girl. The cleaning lady was placing her dolls in different places every day after she cleaned the room so every time we arrived from our day trip or a hike, our daughter could not wait to see where her dolls are this time. It was a nice game and it showed that all of the staff added something extra to our experience. B&B is situated just a few blocks (minutes) from marina and there are plenty of good restaurants nearby so you could not find a better spot to stay in Puerto Ayora. And you should also check out a little lagoon that is just around the corner - we were able to see sea turtles, seals and a lot of fish swimming there and the birdlife was also nice. So all of this review is a big praise to Capitan Max B&B and I feel it is justified. My regular reviews are not that exuberant but this time there literally was nothing they could have done better. They exceeded our expectations in many ways and made our Galapagos trip very memorable. When we talk about our trip then besides all the fantastic highlights of the nature that the archipelago offers, we always mention our lodging. So if you are going to stay in Puerto Ayora for some nights, then the only excuse why you should not stay in Capitan Max B&B is that they are fully booked on these dates.
Hotel Ninfa
4/547 Reviews

Hotel Ninfa

Puerto Ayora|1.17km from city center
I had stayed at the Hotel Ninfa before. It is centrally located, close to the ATM's, the town centre and the local dive shops including Academy Bay which we used. In planning the trip for the club, I decided to use this hotel again as our base for the reasons set out above. The hotel is very welcoming and friendly. Since my last trip, the hotel has undertaken a significant refurbishment to the breakfast area. On a par with other hotels I have stayed in.There was a wide selection for breakfast and you can also have it cooked fresh to order. The garden, bar area and the pool side are well maintained and a great place to relax after a dive, early evening and prior to popping out to any of the restaurants close by, either along Charles Darwin Avenue or there is a great street close by which has the tables on the road - the fish there is superb. I have noted some of the comments posted by others which I think are somewhat unfair when the experience is taken in the round. Yes, some of the rooms might need an upgrade but they were comfortable enough for our purpose. I am sure that the hotel management has this in hand, if the breakfast area is anything to go by. The only observation that I would make is in relation to the wifi within the hotel which can be challenging at times if you need to use it. Something for the hotel team to think about. But then, who needs a phone if you are diving each day/taking day trips or excursions - chance to leave it on silence perhaps. Thanks again Hotel Ninfa for your kind hospitality

Hostal White House Galapagos
4.3/510 Reviews
We spent 7 nights in the White House and were very happy. The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the port, we felt very safe at all times on our way home. The rooms are practically furnished, clean, warm shower, comfortable beds, rooms separated from the street by a cozy and beautiful indoor courtyard with hanging mattresses. Very friendly and helpful owner family, rent bikes and had a great excursion offer. There is also a common kitchen with refrigerator and water donor, which was very practical. However, the maintenance of the kitchen (in particular with regard to cleanness and old food) could be optimized. In addition, everything was top and we can recommend the accommodation very much.
Hostal North Seymour

Although the room is not big, it is very clean, the roof terrace is particularly good, the service is very thoughtful, the plug of the mobile phone charger is wrong, the waiter borrowed it for one night, thank you!
Torre Mar Galapagos Boutique Suites
4.5/543 Reviews
Five star experience Torre Mar is truly a 5 star experience if you are looking to travel to Galapagos. From the moment I sent a note to inquire about costs, the owners were extremely responsive and helpful. One of the great things they do is set up some zoom calls to get to know you, your interests and your “must dos” while based on Santa Cruz Island. We stayed in a two bedroom suite, which was perfect and absolutely lovely. It was nice to be able to relax in the living room in the evenings or on the fourth floor terrace. The room was spotless, furniture comfortable, and price unbeatable. You can walk quickly to a wide variety of restaurants throughout Santa Cruz. Donna and John helped us arrange our excursions six months in advance, and created an itinerary to be envied. We were able to see plazas, North Seymour, Bartolome and the highlands. On a free day, when we struggled to make our way back from Tortuga Bay, John was right there to help. He made sure we felt at home in Puerto Ayora. Also - they help arrange your transfer from Baltra island when you land and when you depart. Bolivar was amazing! I cannot emphasize enough how amazing Torre Mar is and how they go above and beyond for their guests.
