The best available Lodges to stay near Santa Cruz
How often do you get the chance to walk through a tunnel of lava? Created by the flowing and cooling process of liquid magma, the underground lava tubes of Santa Cruz are simply breathtaking. The most popular is the Tunnel of Love, so named for the heart-shaped hole in the ceiling. Cool down with a splash in the fresh waters of Puerto Ayora, snorkel at Tortuga Bay or the mangrove-lined Garrapatero Beach and get friendly with the giant natives at the El Chato Tortoise Reserve.

Wonderful family running a wonderful hotel
Reviewed By loschiajWe really enjoyed our stay. The owners took great care of us and went out of their way to help in any way. The food was fantastic and the room served our needs perfectly. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. They also helped us get a taxi back and forth to make things even easier.

Fantastic find, cozy home and great ambiance.
Reviewed By Kris DWas recommended this hostal by dive operators and also saw on Air Bnb. Lovely place, on the main drag but enough away to be quiet and in its own hip neighborhood (and right next to the best sushi i have ever had). Private room with bath was artistic and quiet, opened to a courtyard and garden with hammocks and an outdoor kitchen and eating area, at which I often sat with my fellow travelers and traded tips and stories. Reuben, the host, is excellent and a former guide, so he has so many good tips and is eager to share. Good security. Loved it loved it.

Perfect accommodation ?
Reviewed By marinaoldaniWe spent 5 days at the Hostel La Mirada del Solitario George and were thrilled. Our room was very spacious and was cleaned every day. But what we liked most was the hospitality of the owners/staff. They were always very friendly, helpful and planned/booked our entire Galapagos stay with us. This allowed us to fully enjoy our stay and not waste time organizing tours. Thank you very much for everything ?.

The hostel and its privileged location allows you to enjoy the most exclusive area of Santa Cruz Island located on the main road that will connect you in five minutes to the areas of greatest tourist activity, and major shopping centers, entertainment, culture, trade and gastronomy.

You will delight immediately with an exquisite view of the city surrounded by its fauna, flora and unique natural areas. It will be a privilege to host your visit to the Galapagos Islands.
Can't beat the price
Reviewed By Eldorado6Puerto Ayora kind of smells gross so it's not the hotels fault that you can sort of "smell the pipes." if you will. However, the hotel staff are super friendly(even though they dont speak english) and you literally CANNOT beat the price. My room was lovely, with a new air conditioner and a flat screen tv for $18 a night. Literally nuts.

Gem in Santa Cruz
Reviewed By mariloub504This hotel is a little gem in Santa Cruz. The garden is a good place to chill and the staff can help you organise anything you would like to do (including camping on one of the beaches). The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds are very comfortable.

Our Hostal has a large terrace where is located the cafeteria and our kitchen for guest. Wi-fi, laundry service, exchange books and magazines. We have matrimonial, single, double, triple and family rooms with hot water, air conditioning and also cable tv.
If you like cold showers...
Reviewed By Robert RI stayed here for 4 nights. The room is nothing special, but ok and most importantly clean. The guy who makes breakfast is very nice. The breakfast is basic. A portion of scrambled eggs, a bread, jam and butter, coffee/tea and juice. It is write that hot water is available from 07:00 PM to 06:00 AM. I had one time the luck to have a hot shower and that was at 04:00 PM (???). The other times at 08:00 PM and 05:00 AM I only had cold showers.

Great value for budget travelers.
Reviewed By macrtravellingGood value for your dollar. Pretty basic accommodations, but the a/c worked and the showers generally had hot water. No worries x tras like closets or shampoo. Rooms pretty spacious. Best part was going up to the 4th or 5th levels to view the port and watch the herons sweeping down from the mountains in the evenings. Breakfast was fine, served on the upper patio in the fresh air, American style on the day we spent there. We stayed at other places for this price which were not as nice. If you’re on a budget, you could do far worse!

Irresponsables
Reviewed By JumagadeHice la reserva por booking, cuando llegué al sitio nadie atendió el timbre, con algo de nervios cargándome mi equipaje hasta un lugar donde pudiera realizar llamadas marqué al número de la persona que debería atender el sitio, no recibí respuesta, estuve por varias horas dando vueltas y nunca me atendieron, ni contestaron llamadas de vecinos de este lugar, incluso fui al ministerio de turismo de la isla a poner la denuncia, ellos trataron de comunicarse con la persona, su hija, o conocidos y nadie dio razón. En definitiva tuve que pagar un hotel cercano al precio que me cobraron(el doble de lo que normalmente se cobra) ya que quedé abandonado por esta persona de forma irresponsable. Estoy tratando de poner ésta valoración en Booking, sin embargo, como la reserva quedó como cancelada por parte de la persona de la casa(cosa que hizo después de mi llegada) no puedo dar la valoración. No le recomiendo a nadie éste lugar, supe que fue algo bueno, pero ya no lo administra la misma persona y ahora es alguien irresponsable. Nunca había tenido éste tipo de problemas con un sitio, me aguanto problemas comunes, pero dejar un turista abandonado en la calle es demasiado, por suerte viajaba ligero de equipaje y no iba con niños ni o un adulto mayor. Perdí mi primer día por elegir este lugar.
