Guest Reviews
- Erno53 (9/5): Close to the action, comfortable, clean, air conditioned, wonderfull staff - Breakfast was very nice, fruit, yogurt , toast, eggs and fresh fruit juice The mattress on the beds very stiff, good depending on taste
- Guilherme (8/5): - Localização, limpeza e atendimento dos funcionários
- Nirida (10/5): Comidas - La cercanía del personal, limpieza y cómodas camas
- Hanako (9/5): - The stuff was always there to help you, they were very resourceful, gave me lots of information on where I can go and what I should see. They packed me breakfast on the day I was taking ferry and had to leave early. They have a rooftop where I could just sit on the couch and relax at the end of the day.
- Torsten (10/5): -
- Carlos (8/5): Hotel agradable y con buenos servicios. Personal de recepción muy atento. - Atención del personal de recepción
- Luciano (3/5): overpriced establishment - Location. It was very close to the harbour. That is the only nice thing I have to say about the place Pretty much everything. The room was not what I expected. The shower had no pressure, and the water was either scalding hot or cold. The establishment doesn't look at all like the pictures you see on booking.com
It is presented as a very nice and fancy hotel but it is more like a below-average establishment. The cost is way too high compared to what they offer.
- Sara (8/5): - Ottima posizione
- Diana (10/5): - Very friendly and very comfort
- Sandra (8/5): Za drogi na te warunki - Dobra lokalizacja, czysto. WiFi w pokoju piętro wyżej od recepcji w ogóle nie działało, za słaby zasięg. Podczas pobytu remontowali coś i były straszne hałasy rozbijania płytek. Śniadania skromne. Hałasy rano jak szykowali śniadanie słyszalne w pokoju i w nocy z ulicy.
- Flavio Arturo (10/5): -
- ScubaRich (8/5): - Stayed here for 7 nights - super happy and friendly staff, excellent location and quiet (except for Friday/Saturday Night - same everywhere).
Location - easy to access everywhere and only 5mins walk from the ferry pier. Setback from the front strip so much quieter during the weekdays. At the weekend there is no escaping loud music anywhere in town but this has nothing to do with the hotel.
Staff - all were brilliant, agree with others comments here that they really make you feel welcome even for those that only speak spanish. Felt part of the place from the moment we arrived and they did everything to get us checked in way before the official time.
Room - good size room, only issue would be the super hard bed ... if you are busy all day to be honest you'll get used to it but if one thing could be changed; better beds would be it. Clean and well maintained.
Breakfast - simple continental with some egg etc very typical for this part of the world. Does the job fine.
Terrace - roof top terrace with multiple.sun loungers. The hot tub was empty and off at the time of our visit. Mind its so hot here they would be better off with an ice bath!
Summary - would totally stay again here ... just in the future get some softer mattresses and it would be a solid 9.
- Madiha (10/5): - Very caring staff. We had limitations on the room that we needed and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our family is comfortable.
- FUMIYO (9/5): - 朝食美味しく部屋に冷蔵庫はありませんでしたがフロントサイドの冷蔵庫使わせて貰えました。スタッフはフレンドリー☺
- Sinan (10/5): -

- Ronald (7/5): Prima hotel, uitzicht is lelijk - Goede locatie, behulpzaam personeel Mini badkamer, ingebouwd tussen hogere, lelijke gebouwen
- Alexandu Daniel (10/5): - Un hotel foarte frumos, cu personal extrem de profesionist, de nota 10. Mic dejun fantastic de bun, excepțional. Hotelul este la 100 m de zona portului, excelent poziționat, intr-o zona sigura. Camerele sunt confortabile, foarte curate, dotate. Un hotel minunat.
- Christopher (8/5): Very good -
- Toby (8/5): Very good - Nice hotel in a good, central location. Cosy room. Good breakfast. The reception guy from the late shift (wears glasses) was extremely helpful and always gave useful tips and recommendations. The room was poorly soundproofed, ie you could hear the noise/music from the nightclub/bar on the next street and also the noise from the hotel corridor.
- Max (7/5): Good - The staff were greta Bed comfort...so so. WIFI not good enough
- Joan (8/5): Very good -
- Florian (9/5): Superb - The staff was very friendly and professional, we received a lot of information and recommendations about tourist attractions, restaurants, activities, etc. I would like to mention Pablo, he speaks perfect Spanish, English and French, he is one of the best hotel employees I have ever met. A successful six-day stay, we would come back anytime. Drinking water is free in the corridor. Breakfast was good, good location, the room also very clean. Thank you! Everyting was ok.
- Shelley (7/5): Good location, unfortunately jacuzzi not usable - Great location, free water refill, staff was friendly. We booked this place specifically for the jacuzzi. First night we wanted to use it, it was empty. Next day they said it would be filled and ready for us in the afternoon, it was not nearly half filled and boiling hot so completely unusable. This made me a bit sad as this was the first stop of our honeymoon and we really wanted a relaxed stay.
- Daryl (8/5): Very good -
- Yauheni (7/5): Not bad - The location is pretty nice. Close to the port. Clean rooms. I didn’t really like the smell in the room. It was too strong chemical smell. My wife is sensitive to such things. We asked for another room, but all of them were cleaned with the same chemicals. So, unfortunately, we didn’t enjoy our stay because of this.
- Funda (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were very welcoming and friendly. They helped us to book tours and gave us a good recommendation about what to do in Santa Cruz.
We enjoyed staying there and staying two more days.
They made this extraordinary experience in islands extra special.
The location was very good too, close to piers,bars, and restaurants. None, highly recommended
- Jan (9/5): Superb - Staff were excellent
Large spacious room
Breakfast included Shower was not brill.
Asked for help and the desk clerk did his best. Was better than before but not perfect.
- Yury (10/5): - Everything you can hope for in the place like that. I am not sure about parking but who would drive in Santa Cruz anyways, perfect otherwise!

- Jason (8/5): A clean hotel with great staff and customer service in a good location close to amenities - Allowed to check in early
Very good staff. Friendly and helpful with directions, suggestions and organizing of activities Complimentary fresh juice upon arrival. Very clean hotel Clean room with AC. (#205) a short 5-10 min walk to main areas for shopping, restaurants and tour agencies.
Complimentary tea, coffee and water coolers available 24/7. Simple breakfast but was satisfying Lots of seating and areas to relax Main entrance secured at night but still had access by key Entry to bathroom a little narrow as door contacts the bathroom countertop
End of bed frame sticks out and we each hit it once during our stay. Mattress was firm
- Josue (9/5): Superb -
- Deirdre (8/5): - Great experience and the people were absolutely lovely. The only down was there was very loud music outside our room at 11pm to about midnight and we couldn’t sleep.
- AMY (8/5): - The property was ver clean. Our triple room was huge. The hot tub was a great bonus. Breakfast was great and the staff was beyond great. Our room was loud. We could hear breakfast being prepared above us very early in the AM, 5:30/6:00. That was the only negative. I loved the tea available all day as it was rainy and cool during our stay.
- Martin (7/5): Good value a quiet place after cruise - Clean and quiet yet convenient location
- Ben (9/5): Superb - The staff was INCREDIBLE. Pablo helped me a lot with recommendations on trips, food, booking a taxi, etc.
- veronica (10/5): - Everyone at Hotel Flamingo was very nice, accommodating and informative. Pablo at the front desk was helpful with tour & restaurant suggestions. Housekeeping and Breakfast staff were both excellent. The Flamingo was very conveniently located in a very safe area. Hopefully, we will visit again!
- Louise (8/5): It's a nice place with friendly staff. - The staff are lovely and helpful. Breakfast was very nice. The facilities are quite basic. Rooms quite small. But it's okay.
- Davide (9/5): Superb - The early check in , the breakfast and common terrace and the bathroom. Very convenient location. The staff was outstanding always keen to help with everything The room was a bit noisy on the road but I think it was unusual and was related to a local celebration on Friday night with people across the island coming to celebrate in Puerto ayora till 2 am.

- Manee (8/5): Very good -

Pablo helped us a lot and explained and showed everything. We want to thank him for the excellent service. Room was big and clean. Breakfast was very good and tasty. View from our room was just a neighbors wall. Wifi is starlink and is working bad if cloudy. Take this into account because it is usually cloudy at evening.

- Michael (9/5): We are recommending this hotel to other friends planning trips to the Galapagos. - The breakfast on the roof was prepared to order and had a wide choice of foods. The staff was personable and attentive. There was a noisy bar across the street on Friday and Saturday nights. But the stay was so good in other ways that it was worth putting up with.
- V (9/5): As always, it is wonderful at Hotel Flamingo! Staff is helpful, friendly y muy simpatico! - Breakfast, beautiful fruits, island cheese and yogurt, yucca y plantain, eggs made to order each morning, good coffee, daily juice. Location is very good. More hooks for hanging clothes in the bathroom and in the room would be very helpful. It was also very nice to have two towels in the room at the beginning of the stay ... I missed the second towel later in the week.
- elizabeth (10/5): Great choice - We have stayed here many times since 2013. The family owners keep everyone safe and speak good English. Breakfast is more than ample. Location is a block off the ocean road. They can tell you the good places to eat. Very clean. We will come back.

- Mary-claire (7/5): Good -
- Joseph (10/5): I'd stay here again - Recommendo este hotel. It has great staff, breakfast and location, location.
- Joanna (5/5): Not terrible but a way too expensive for the standard. - Great location, nice barhroom ( clean, hot water, good pressure ) -Not worth the price. In the same location, same standard you can get a room for a half of this price or less. I wanted a compromise reasonable price-upper standard but ended up with overpriced basic.
-Ants in the room.
-Room was basic.
-Room was loud. And i wouldnt mind if it was sounds of the street or construction or some other unavoidable noise, but it was noises of a loud conversations of what i assume owners family or friends using a lobby as a livingroom with TV etc. so it was anoying. Guys, move a party somewhere else!!!
- Nolen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephen (9/5): Superb -
- Joseph (8/5): - Checked into property with room on street side. Very noisy until 2am. Hotel allowed us to change rooms to opposite side and it was very quiet. Great breakfast every day. Staff very helpful and friendly. Bed was a bit creaky every time you got into it.
- Federico (9/5): Very nice - Little pearl. very well kept and very clean place. Helpful staff. ideal location, super central and not too noisy.We booked last minute, but super fast services. excellent breakfast cooked on the spot, served on the top floor with the possibility of relaxing on the deck chairs, if the season permits. possibility to use the tub, but without the tap. Using only the shower head takes time. anyway, you are in the Galapagos, save the water.
- Gpenaililloa (9/5): Great staff, amazing location - The staff is very friendly and helpfull, the location is great as it stands close to the coastline and main port... you can easily walk everywhere from the hotel... also, it has a great tour agency right at its side Single beds where small and the frame made it hard to put 2 together
- Eszter (10/5): - Amazing place to stay!
