Hotel La Casa de Judy

Absolutely fantastic hotel. We had a huge room with an amazing sea view, which was spectacular. Room was cleaned perfectly every day. Staff were so friendly and always so helpful. Breakfast was simple but lovely.

Wifi did not work in the bedrooms.

Lovely property with a friendly staff. We were only able to stay one night, but the rooms were very comfortable, minimalist, and spacious. The outdoor space was also very inviting. Breakfast was a nice spread and tea, water were available at all hours. We were able to walk to the city center very easily.

Nothing.

excelent service

The fact that the hotel is very close to the Charles Darwin research station, the main street, only 10-minute walk to reach the best restaurants, bars and galleries, has been a very important point for us when deciding on this hotel. In addition, the host Carlos has always been very friendly (we received a room upgrade upon arrival), the rooms are very bright, a beautiful view, with windows from ceiling to floor, the entire wall, with a huge balcony to see a forest and then the sea, a luxury! And not to mention the huge terrace on the top floor 360 degree amazon views. The room was absolutely clean, fresh towels every day, hot water in large volume, the pool deliciously refreshing after excursion days. In the common area we always found hot water, cold water, a variety of teas and coffee, board games, interesting books, mosquito repellent, towels for the pool and beach! Although breakfast may seem simple, we always had toasted bread, ham, cheese, jam, margarine, eggs to taste, cereals, yogurt, as much coffee and tea as we wanted, and a fresh juice made of real fruits! We are very happy to have found this hotel, our next visit we will surely go there again

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Great pool and areas to chill. Our bed was 2 pushed together so it was huge and very comfy. En suite is small but nice and clean! Helpful staff when we checked in :) location is about 5 mins from one side of the main strip, which was perfect

Nothing - great value for the price

Excellent value for money. Lovely room decor with clean sheets and great AC. Great location. A few minutes walk to Puerta Ayora, which is where most things are. Nice staff and simple but good food. And great access to amazing restaurants. Gave us some really good recs.

The bathroom could be improved, (it's clean, but the shower system isn't too convenient) but I don't think hotels at this price range here would be significantly better. The Wifi situation is not great, but it's generally really terrible in Galapagos, so I don't think it's really the hotel's fault.

While La Casa de Judy is considered far from downtown Puerto Ayora (about a 15-min walk), it's a lovely place sheltered from the noise and bustle of the bars and restaurants. Excellent for travellers who've booked day tours, which typically start very early in the morning—the nighttime quiet is important! My stay started off with meeting Raphael at the front desk, who was helpful and so sweet. I cannot speak Spanish at all, so I appreciated her friendliness and patience in communicating with me. I looked forward to the breakfast each day (freshly cooked egg, buns, butter and guava jam, some ham and cheese, yoghurt, fresh fruit, tea), and was grateful for the option of an earlier breakfast before I departed each day for my diving tours. The beds were comfortable, the decor tasteful, and the AC was a godsend. In the lobby, there is ample seating for lounging around or writing/working on the computer. WiFi was speedy (only available in the lobby), but it did go out for a few hours one day, which is a rare occurrence I believe. There is a water cooler and tea station available 24/7, with a nice selection of teas, plus hot chocolate. Most helpful was the fridge, where you're welcome to store your own drinks and food in (recommend labelling it just in case).

The only drawbacks were the distance from the downtown area (which is only a $1.50 taxi ride if you do not fancy a walk in the heat) and the bathroom, which could use an aesthetic upgrade. As a solo traveller, I was also uncomfortable with the idea of leaving my room and safe key at the front desk every time I left the hotel (required). However, I felt very safe during my stay after that initial discomfort. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here!

The location was great,…fantastic view from the balcony

The staff was very friendly and helpful
