Guest Reviews
- Jeff (8/5): - The manager spoke english. He was very friendly and helpful.
- Luis alejandro (4/5): Disappointed - No housekeeping, not a nice neighborhood
- Clay (10/5): - Its a nice place away from the dowtown business. Our room was nice and the AC worked fantastic!
- OKSOON (10/5): - 주방 이용이 좋았어요
- Maria (4/5): - The apartment we rented was spacious but the hostal in general was neglected. It was very far from downtown. There was not reception. When we arrived, we were completely lost without a soul around. We were the only people at the hostal. The owner barely communicated with us through WhatsApp. We never saw him in person, only a woman who wasn't very useful.
- Howard (10/5): Ariana’s was perfect. - Ariana’s is excellent to stay in. The beds are super comfortable, the view from the kitchen area is great, the air conditioning worked great. Across the street is undeveloped land so we saw several new birds. It is a little over a mile to the harbor so if that’s more of a walk than you’d like, taxis are everywhere. All kinds of stores are within 2-3 blocks. We loved the neighborhood.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good - A good spot for a quick stay. It's pretty basic, but reliable, clean, and quiet. It met my needs. It's about a 15 minute walk to the downtown/waterfront.
- Christopher (10/5): - It’s a few blocks off the tourist trail but the bars and pier is easily accessible. Local options even closer. Clean and comfortable room, decent shower and terrace is a nice touch. Wifi patchy but that’s island-wide. Friendly staff, recommended.
- Naces (8/5): - Good location, close to nature. Great view from the 3rd floor. However, there was some difficulty in contacting management or staff on site. Overall, good. Service people clean your unit, and change your sheet and towels daily. The place has a kitchenette and fridge to prepare your own food. We spent 10 days at this hostel. Buena ubicación, cerca de la naturaleza. Gran vista desde el 3er piso. Sin embargo, hubo algunas dificultades para contactar a la gerencia o al personal en el sitio. En general, bien. El personal de servicio limpia su unidad y cambia sus sábanas y toallas diariamente. El lugar cuenta con cocineta y heladera para preparar tu propia comida. Pasamos 10 días en este hostal.
- Janinne (10/5): - Fantastic!! They are so hospitable
- sastry (8/5): - The room rate wa agreeable, And their location was ok
- Dean (8/5): - Ariana was very responsive. The building construction allowed for quite a bit of noise to travel into our unit.
- Peder (10/5): would recommend - lovely host with her cute dog, clean, good value for price, nice roof top,
- Carlos (10/5): - El lugar es muy acogedor. Las personas son muy amables lo malo es lo lejania al malecón.
- Navin (10/5): Get affordable accommodation - Gabriel and Blanca are wonderful hosts. They made our trip pleasurable by providing personalized service and help in any way we wanted and patiently answered all our questions. The hostel is on the outskirts of the town - so a 15 minute walk to the port, or a $2 cab ride. Rooms, beds and linen are clean; breakfast on the terrace is great. Its in the residential area of the town, so there are kids playing on the street and roosters crowing.
- Navin (10/5): Personalized service - Gabriel and Blanca are wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome and were always available for any kind of help we needed.
- Gisella (8/5): Sí volvería - Muy limpio, tranquilo y sin ruido, un poco lejos del centro pero si es lo que necesitas está muy bien.
- Jaime De La (10/5): - Great stay, great host, great price.
- Laura (10/5): Excellent Stay - Stayed here for 1 week room was clean and comfortable with private bathroom. Easy walk into town or taxis drive by every minute of two. Very safe area no issues as a solo female walking at night. People are extremely friendly and offer assistance when needed. Great quiet location.
- Angela (10/5): - Excellent host, helpful in so many ways. Property is in a Residential area, lots of dogs. Clean, Free, drinkable water always available, reliable air conditioning,Safe for single women, enjoyed my Time.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This property Called itself Ariana’s Galápagos Suites but its actually a hostal. It is situated on the edge of town - a blessing for some, not so for others. Check-in was easy and the woman checking us in was very nice and informative. The room was decent but could've been so much nicer (for example the balcony doors were difficult to open and close and there were tons of scuff marks and foot prints on the walls - what?!). The AC was very welcome as it was hit and humid for most of the time, the water pressure was good and there was a moderate level of warm to hot water, the toilet flushed wonderfully and the balcony was a nice addition to the room. The upstairs terrace was also nice as were the beach towels and the daily room cleaning. One of the main reasons we booked this place was because it said it had bicycles. NOT! that was a big disappointment especially because of its location. We wound up renting bikes from a local place for about $240 for the week for 2 bikes. Also the wifi is pretty bad on the edge of town and I totally expected that I’d be able to pay for the balance of the room by card. But no. Due to poor wifi, I had to dig into my cash supply and pay $336. This is a cash place for the most part and that put a fairly decent dent in my week’s budget. All in all a decent place to stay. If they had bikes as advertised staying on the edge of town wouldn’t be as inconveniencing.
- RKRaj (10/5): - Excellent service and smiley people who loves what they do
- Paulo (10/5): Agradável - Foi uma excelente hospedagem no Ariana Galápagos, na Ilha de Santa Cruz. Íamos ficar 2 dias e ficamos 3 dias graças ao atendimento do Senhor Gabriel, ao ambiente confortável e ao custo - beneficio. Tinha táxi com facilidade para ir ao Centro ao preço de US$1.50. Nos sentimos a vontade e dormimos muito bem. Limpeza e internet precisa melhorar !
- Ceci (8/5): - The owners are very hospitable, breakfast was good and the rooms are large and clean. The property is a quick cab ride to restaurants and shopping. It’s a great option for a restful evening after touring all day long. The owner is very helpful providing advise regarding tours, etc. We had a great time in Galapagos.
- brigitte (10/5): Resa med vänner. - Mycket rent och fint. Stora rum.
- Jennifer (8/5): Decent - Room was big, comfy and clean. My only issue was the distance to town (but it was easy enough to grab a taxi) and a rooster that would wake me up every morning at 4am and wouldn't shut up until some time later in the day. Also wifi not great and i had no wifi at all in the room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Recommend - The owners were very nice and the lady that makes breakfast was extremely nice, she gave us a banana, tea and croissant for our trip. The place although outside the city center has taxis passing by every few minutes. The water at times was not as hot as we like it, but this didn't take away from experience. Our bathroom had a window that did not close, so we heard dogs fighting and roosters. Otherwise the place was quiet. They also provide you with towels to go to the beach and filtered water. It is clean and safe with locked access, family owned and operated. The price was very reasonable.
- DoraVélez (8/5): - La calidad de las personas que atienden en el hotel.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Los desayunos son deliciosos. El desayuno se sirve pasadas las 7 y la mayoría de los operadores turísticos recogen a las 7:20. Las cortinas de los cuartos son delgaditas y mi balcón daba frente a la luminaria de la calle. La limpieza de la zona de ducha podría ser mejor. Es dificil encontrar personal del hotel durante el día para preguntar algo. Distante de la playa y avenida principal
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ariana’s is a hostal with a very good service provided by the owner, Blanca with the help of Isabel, both very kind. The included breakfast is a plus, with fruits, eggs, bread, and every day they surprise you with some local food that was allways very good. The hostal is a little far from the Ayora Port, but the taxi yo get there is only $ 1.50.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful service. Could not have been better. Gabriel ensured that all of our needs were attended to. Our best experience of the three hotels we stayed in in the Galapagos.
- Kathleen (6/5): - If I make a complaint, the goal is not go get something for free, but simply what we paid for. When you know that the price is the same whether there are two adult and a child or simply two adult for a two bedroom apt. But the owner uses your oversight to his advantage and charges you an additional $90, yes it validates a complaint. However the fact that I am courtesy to you despite my displeasure, doesn’t mean that that you contributed to the success of my vacation. As a business owner I Hear all my customers, I don’t berate the ones that don’t give five stars.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Bel hôtel un peu éloigné du centre mais à seulement 1.50$ de taxi de tout. Gabriel, le proprio, nous a très bien accueilli avec beaucoup de conseils utiles. Cest un endroit paisible et très sympathique.
- Andrew (10/5): Excellent - Very nice and private place to stay, the owners are very informative, delicious breakfast, room clean and comfortable. Definitely recommended and will be more than happy to coming back.
- Luis alejandro (8/5): Great Stay - Good choice for the price, far from town, but is a small one, great service.
- cesar (8/5): Buen lugar - Buen lugar para descansar, buena atención, uno de los peros fue la calidad de la WIFI.
- Siva (10/5): Good value for family of 4 - Owners are very committed to making your stay nice.
- Charlotte (10/5): Lovely stay and great service - Lovely budget hostel in the Galápagos Islands. Basic but well maintained room, very comfortable. Very warm welcome and great service from the staff, would thoroughly recommend
- Patricia (10/5): ótima hospedagem - O Gabriel e sua família são ótimas pessoas. ele preparou todos os dias um ótimo café da manhã com alimentos locais. Tudo muito limpo e confortável. O hotel fica localizado em uma rua bem tranquila. Fomos andando para todos os lugares, mas o taxi também é barato. Voltaremos em uma próxima oportunidade.
- angela (8/5): Can improve - The person who served breakfast very nice. The shower was too hot and hard to regulate. It was outside the turistic area, we needed a taxi. The owner's daughter didn't have information about our reservation. The owners knocked at the diir at 11:00 pm to get the credit card
- NHON (10/5): Great hotel in Puerto Ayora - Ariana hotel is located far from the downtown area; however, it is not a problem since there are plenty of taxis and it only costed me $1.50 for a trip to downtown or anywhere within Puerto Ayora. The hotel is in good condition and very clean; its staff are very helpful; and breakfast is good. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a great vacation in Galapagos Islands.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place a little out of town - This was a nice hotel away from the bustle of town. Cabs are only $1.50 so going onto town just took a little longer. The owner(s) and family are all very nice. The only problem we encountered was banging from construction from morning until late afternoon. If we weren't out and about most of the time this would have become a major problem.
