Avoid!!
Pros:

The Good: location, Lola was very friendly, helpful and always smiling

The Bad: bed is not comfortable, hot water takes forever, pool was very dirty and cold

The Ugly: we booked through Expedia which advertised free breakfast but the hotel wouldn’t honour it
Jenny was rude and very argumentative and seemed very unhappy to work-never smiles
She also failed to tell us at check in that the front door is locked at 11pm and we need a code to get in. We went out and didn’t come back until after midnight to find ourselves locked out!Thankfully some people were walking by that knew someone to give us the code to get in

We travel a lot and have never had such an unpleasant experience before. I would not recommend staying here!

Hotel in process of putting Lipstick on a Pig
Pros:

We stayed 3 nights as part of a tour of 17 people. As we checked in, the front facade was being painted...drips left on tile all week. Quesionable timing...you have a large group checking in, and THIS is when you decide to paint? Check in process was fine. Offered a welcome drink in the bfast room for our tour orientation. Went to rooms. The pictures on line (if they haven;t been updated) show colorful pillows. These were all removed and piled in a storage area/renovation staging area, which appears to be the new Spa. Walked by this mess everyday. Note picture of current upkeep of the property. Crumbling concrete, hanging wires, missing awning pieces, wood stain and stair treads missing chunks of wood, and lack of deep cleaning. Breakfast was flacid and cold. Although there was a pool, not able to enjoy. Jack Hammers, concrete cutting, and constant construction, would you want to lay out and relax? I will compliment their snorkel gear ($6 to rent/day, good quality), location, and new sheets. No glasses in room, but water jug in reception area for water refills.

Well located and comfortable
Pros:

I stayed here as part of a tour group. Well located - adjacent to the harbor where many sea lions hang out. Staff at the hotel are very helpful. An inexpensive but very good lunch is available with outside seating. A variety of rooms available, some with balconies and hammocks. Note that there is no elevator to the second and third floor, but staff is willing to help transport luggage.

Decent
Pros:

We stopped here for dinner and had the churros appetizer with coffee honey. The fried dough was not in a classic churros shape. We also had the veggies in coconut sauce, and this was very tasty.

Disappointed start to a wonderful adventure in an amazing island
Pros:

This hotel was being renovated and we were not made aware of this: no access to gym - full of ladders. Very noisy. No curtains or hot water or even lukewarm. We were not expecting this. Room was not nice and steps to top floor where our room was were different levels and my husband and I are fit and agile but when carrying bags/suitcases we both tripped. Location is nice but we decided to move to a different hotel that wasn’t being renovated and had facilities we had been promised. Galápagos is beautiful and facilities are basic but to have been forewarned of the hotel issues would have been appreciated.

Hard Pass, Stay Anywhere Else
Pros:

I truly don't understand all these positive reviews. This hotel is RUN DOWN and horrifically overpriced. Its dirty, worn out and these are just some of the most creative photo angles I've ever seen because everything they're showing is either a decade old or just plain misleading. Just don't. This place is a huge scam.

Superb
Pros:

Very cozy place, sea view from the breakfast room, spacious apartment

Cons:

Wifi quality depends a lot on position, some of the several wifi networks had poor quality and it was needed to move somewhere else (to the lobby) for good signal.

Very good
Pros:

The location could not be better. The restaurant on the first floor had a magnificent view over the harbour. The bed was comfortable. I liked the hand-made breakfast with fresh fruit and juices, and variations on scrambled eggs with toast. Ask for extra butter.

Cons:

The WiFi worked only intermittently and was very slow, usually but not always too slow for Netflix. The room was not very large. There was no room for a table to work on.
