- Sabine (8/5): Kleine Oase - Sehr schöne Gartenanlage mit Patio.
Wäscheleine im Zimmer.
Sehr bemühter Gastgeber mit vielen nützlichen Tipps. Netter persönlicher Kontakt. Sachen aus dem Kühlschrank sind verschwunden.
Küchenausstattung war dürftig.
Wir dachten, die Veranda vor dem Zimmer gehört zum Zimmer, jedoch wurde die Bank auf der Veranda vor unserem Zimmer oft von Mitarbeitern besetzt.
Laute Musik vom Restaurant nebenan (von 7 bis 23 Uhr).
Geruch aus dem Abfluss im Bad.
- Yalina (10/5): Fantastic location! Property was clean and spacious and staff were very friendly. - Fantastic location! Clean and spacious bedroom and bathroom with a great shower and comfortable beds! The hotel itself was also really clean and tidy and looked pretty with lots of plants around. The staff were very friendly and we were able to rent snorkelling equipment from them. The snorkelling masks we rented with them, kept leaking and fogging up…would recommend going to a proper tour agency. No other complaints other than that…..our stay was fantastic and wished we could have stayed longer!
- Gggrossi (10/5): - Simple but clean and quiet room. The central garden and the hammocks were a great addition and the location is quite convenient.

- Carrie (8/5): Would 100% recommend - Amazing place. Perfect location, very clean rooms and super relaxing. The aircon is a lifesaver and the staff was so kind. 10/10 recommend. Nothing
- Chris (9/5): -
- Sophia (10/5): Relaxing and amazing stay in the most central cozy hotel. - Incredible location and overall vibes of the hotel, with a beautiful outdoor kitchen makes it easy to travel with a lower budget and still feel like you are on vacation. When we first arrived no one was at the desk and when I called the number no one answered, but I was able to walk in a find a staff member.
- Heidrun (9/5): Schön gelegene und gestaltete Anlage im Zentrum . - Die Unterkunft ist schön gelegen und der Innenhof toll gestaltet. Es gibt eine Küche , die man benutzen kann und einen Wasserspender . Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet und die Dusche heiß . nichts

- LEONOR ANDREA (8/5): - Ubicación
- Caroline (9/5): Ótimo lugar para se hospedar - Localização excelente, staff muito atenciosa, as áreas comuns são muito confortáveis e convidativas, o jardim é muito bonito e bem cuidado. Cama muito confortável, ótimo chuveiro. As cortinas são pequenas, não dão muita privacidade e deixam o quarto bem claro a noite, o ar condicionado fazia bastante barulho.
- Brenda (9/5): Nice courtyard in the middle of the rooms creates a nice vibe. - Nice room, beautiful courtyard, away from street noise, cooking area and a small book exchange. Shelf in the bathroom a hazard to the head.
- Laura (9/5): -
- Serenella (9/5): -
- Lopez (8/5): - This place is clean, close to the ferry port while not being noisy, lovely plants and set up and a shared kitchen to use with decent sized fridge. Staff / owners are lovely, the rooms are comfortable with hot showers . Would definitely stay again. The shared kitchen is closed between 6 and 9 am which is a bit restrictive. There needs to be a few more cuttlery, cups, cooking utensils and the fridge works but is broken and needs replacing as leaks.
- T00 (10/5): - I loved the staff lady, very helpful and lovely! You made my stay better by giving me advice on activities. Location is perfect close to everything on the main street. The garden is beautiful and there is outside kitchen to use. Shower was warm and had good pressure. Only thing that could be better is that there could be own fridge in the room and also coffee maschine in the hotel.
- Cam (10/5): - Great location. Close to town center.
Really appreciated the water cooler!
- Obletter (7/5): - Unica cosa che non è andata tanto bene è che la stanza era una di quelle vicine alla strada, e si sentiva la musica del locale vicino.
- Sabine (9/5): - Really great value for money, good location and they provide great restaurant and driver recommendations. We did not have light in the room in the evening
- m encarna (6/5): - Buena ubicación
Nos dejaron guardar las maletas hasta el check in. Una de las maletas guardadas en el almacén hasta el check in se mojo. Tenía goteras el almacén.
- maria (9/5): - La cama súper grande y cómoda el aire perfecto
- Milan (10/5): -
- James (8/5): Location and basic room were great - Clean big room with AC and private bathroom. Checks all the basic and simple boxes. Nothing glamorous, but you don’t need when you’re in Galapagos!
They helped me get a cheap (although the driver added $10 to the agreed upon price at the conclusion) taxi to the airport’s ferry via El Chato farm.
- Lucie (9/5): - Super Lage, freundliches Personal, geräumige Zimmer, so sauber wie es eben in Strandnähe sauber sein kann, kostenloses Wasser & Schnorchel Equipment zum leihen Küche könne etwas besser ausgestattet sein
- Christophe Peron (7/5): On peut trouver mieux a Puerto Ayero... - Un bon emplacement avec restos a proximité.
Pas utilisé la cuisine...
Pas eu de contact avec le personnel... Wifi guere fonctionnel dans ma chambre... et parfois même dans les parties communes
- Shi (10/5): Great value stay. Only stayed for last night. Wish we have stayed here before. - Budget friendly with good A/C, beautiful garden, free drinking water, room is clean, atmosphere is great. Excellent location and nice staff members. No hot water for shower.
- Birgitta (7/5): -
- Ana (8/5): -
- Katarzyna (10/5): - Central locstion on the main boulevard, nice host, good wifi, shared kitchen. I have no complaints. They did store our luggage before check in time. Nothing
- Brooke (10/5): - We only stayed here one night, but wish we could stay more! A hidden gem, with everything you need and such good value.
- Evelin (9/5): Volvería y lo recomiendo - El entorno interior con lindos jardines y área de descanso exterior. Los dormitorios muy cómodos y alegres. La ubicación excelente, en una zona muy turística y centrica. Se podía caminar al muelle En algunos momentos cuando no se usaba el baño, salía mal olor de los desagües

- Lidia (9/5): -
- VIERA (10/5): Morning Glory is a nice, budget-friendly, family-run lodge with an unbeatable location and heartfelt hospitality—perfec - Morning Glory blends comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere. Its prime location places you within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, travel agencies, and iconic spots like the fishermen’s pier and the Charles Darwin Research Station. N/A
- Marina (9/5): - Beautiful gardens, great island atmosphere. Owner gave us great tips of things to do. Wifi was difficult to get in the room.

- Fei (6/5): - The host provided us lots of information about the island and the trip. Very noisy, especially when the restaurant near by opened and the guests upstairs walked, couldn’t sleep well.
- José Fernando (10/5): Ideal para visitantes que deseen conocer Santa Cruz. - El hotel queda sobre la avenida principal turística entonces es fácil llegar al muelle caminando y encontrar donde comer. Es una casa antigua grande por lo que al fondo no se escucha nada, lo que permite dormir sin ruido. La habitación muy cómoda, el agua caliente se demora un poco en salir pero después es buena, la cama y las almohadas cómodas, habían escaparates y mesas donde acomodar las cosas, el internet es decente. Hay zonas para secar la ropa y para llenar las botellas de agua. Cuenta con cocina para el que quiera cocinar y no comprar. La señora Rebeca amable y dispuesta a responder dudas. Un buen lugar precio-calidad. Todo me gusto.
- Lidia (9/5): Estupenda estancia - Es la segunda vez que me quedo en este hotel y me resulta estupendo, Rubén y Daniel un encanto, así como el resto del personal. La ubicación inmejorable, camas cómodas y todo limpio. Nada.

- Anthony (6/5): - No manager available 24/7
- Daiane (10/5): - Muito bom a estadia
- Dora (9/5): Very comfortable stay with a large bed and a lovely courtyard. - We had a very good stay here! The room was comfortable and the beds were excellent. The double bed was actually made of two single beds put together, which worked out perfectly for us as a couple – it was spacious, comfortable, and we slept really well.
The hotel has a beautiful courtyard, very pleasant and relaxing, and our room had a large window facing the garden, which made it bright and enjoyable.
Overall, a very comfortable and pleasant stay that we would definitely recommend.
- DIEGO (10/5): - Daniel es una excelente persona, muy amble y cordial.
- Pawel (10/5): Great place with fantastic people - It is centrally located and super convenient if you want to be within a walking distance to all shops, bars but also wildlife - Tortuga Bay etc.
The owners but also super nice American lady were very welcoming and always happy to help. Nothing
- Adi (9/5): Nice place for travellers - - good value for money
- kitchen
- hot showers
- room was fine!
- Alejandro (8/5): - La cercanía al puerto para hacer las excursiones y la variedad de restaurantes y cafeterías que había alrededor Una lástima que esté tan pegado a un restaurante. Literalmente la parte de atrás del restaurante está dentro del alojamiento y pegado a muchas habitaciones, se escucha todo!
- Margarita (9/5): -
- Guest (8/5): Confortable y confiable - La ubicación excelente y la ayuda extra con referencias de lugares para visitar y para comer me ayudaron muchísimo No tengo comentarios negativos
