    Here’s what works – and what doesn’t

    The staff were kind and offered helpful services, and I appreciated the private pool and relaxation areas that fostered a social atmosphere.

    great access to parks and landmarks for weekend strolls

    my stay was fantastic with a room that was huge and super clean. Being just a few steps from the harbor made it so easy to explore the beautiful landmarks and parks scattered nearby like Las Grietas and Laguna las Ninfas.

    spacious room
    private bathroom
    hot-water shower
    unreliable wifi
    pool fountain off

    I really enjoyed my stay at Hostal Espana! The room was spacious with a cozy seating area that was perfect for relaxing after a long day. I appreciated the air conditioning and the private bathroom, which had a hot-water shower and fresh towels. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the ferry terminal and surrounded by plenty of dining options. The pool area provided a nice vibe to unwind, and I loved having the convenience of being able to refill my water bottle anytime.

    The WiFi connection was unreliable at times.

    convenient location
    good breakfast
    noisy room
    unreliable wifi
    lack of privacy

    The location is fantastic, just a few blocks from the main street, making everything easily accessible. The breakfast offered was a good value, with pleasant staff who catered to special requests. However, noise from the courtyard was distracting at times, and the WiFi required frequent resets, making it unreliable. Additionally, the privacy in the bathroom was inadequate, which was a bit uncomfortable.

    frustrating ferry booking
    modest breakfast

    The room offered a comfortable bed and good water pressure, making for a pleasant stay. The location is fantastic, within a five-minute walk to the ferries, and there are numerous restaurants nearby. The breakfast was modest and not reviewed, but I appreciated having the option to refill water bottles anytime before excursions.

    private pool
    open-air lobby

    The pool was a nice chill spot, and I loved the open-air lobby with hammocks to relax in after long days. I really appreciated the clean rooms and a solid shower experience!

    Felt like a VIP, nothing too much trouble.

    great location
    room space

    We loved our stay with the grandkids! The highlight was visiting the nearby Galapagos National Park where we saw giant tortoises. The rooms were well-kept, and the daily maid service made our trip hassle-free. Esther at the front desk was super helpful with local tips!

    My kids wished the room layouts had more space.

    During my recent solo trip to Puerto Ayora, I appreciated the well-decorated lobby and the spacious room with a cozy seating area. The private pool was a perfect spot to unwind after exploring the local attractions. The communal kitchen also came in handy for preparing light snacks in between my excursions.

    i had a great stay at hostal espana! the location was super convenient, just a few blocks from the agua galapagos distribution center, where i could grab a jug of water for a dollar. the private pool was a nice spot to relax after a long day, and i really loved having the option to refill my water bottle anytime.

    the breakfast could be a bit better.
