Good enough, but not excellent.
Pros:

I appreciated the friendliness of the person in charge. Breakfast was also good; it wasn't a buffet, but they served enough to leave you satisfied. The bed was large, everything was very clean, and there was a pitcher of drinking water available in the room, with the option to refill your own water bottle whenever you wanted. They also provided clean towels and liquid soap in the bathroom.

Cons:

The location is far away from the center and the view is not good. You have to walk about 8 blocks to get to the most fun spot in town.. and, you have to carry your luggage up the stairs.

Wonderful location, clean rooms and fabulous breakfasts made this a perfect place to stay!
Pros:

The manager (owner?) was so helpful! He assisted us in every way. There are stairs to the room but we were assisted with our luggage. The breakfasts were amazing! Definitely worth adding on the breakfast. Everything was presented so beautifully and so much food! Our host helped us with directions and suggestions on where to go. He was always available if we needed anything. The location was within walking distance to all of the shops/restaurants. Not much of a view, but we weren't in the room for views...comfort and cleanliness were perfect.

Cons:

I would have liked a more secure safe but we were not uncomfortable with the security. Again, the views were not great but we did love the location and the excellent service.

Basic room, poor noisy location.
Pros:

Cleanliness good
Let us into room early.

Cons:

Safe not good as not fixed and anyone could have walked off with it!
Although staff were there all of time when needed, welcome left a lot to be desired.
Could be very noisy at night/early morning.
Felt it was expensive for what provided

Pros:

The hotel manager was so helpful and great! Great location, where it was nice and quiet but could walk everywhere we needed to go. Bed was very comfortable and had plenty of blankets and pillows. Honestly loved our stay here and would highly recommend.

Pros:

Super hyggelig og hjelpsom personale. Vi fikk lov å låne håndklær til stranden uten ekstra kostnad. Bestilte transport til flyplassen. Det fungerte så bra. Taxi sjåføren fulgte oss hele veien og betale båt til Baltra og buss til flyplassen. Verten snakker godt engelsk.kort vei ned til handlegaten. Fullstendig sikkert og gå hjem på kvelden.

Cons:

Kommer ikke på noe akkurat nå.

Pros:

Very accommodating staff. Our room had ample space for 3 - 4 friends. Not on main street so walked through the community each day for breakfast and got to experience a taste of 'daily life' for the locals. Saw seal lion, iguanas, pelicans and turtles every day.
