Not recommend at all
Pros:

Only the location

Cons:

The place looks like a construction site - half of the building is demolished and the other half is still standing. It is not clean at all; there is sand in the shower and ants everywhere. The worst part is that there is no hot water. When we contacted the owner, he mostly ignored our concerns and claimed that there was hot water and that we had simply used it all up. The price is far too high for conditions that are comparable to a very poor hostel. I would not recommend staying here.

Pros:

La ubicación es excelente y el alojamiento es funcional. El tamaño de las habitaciones es adecuado.

Cons:

El hotel cumple con el mínimo y se encontraba en obras. Sería bueno tener certeza sobre el valor final antes de llegar a la reserva y los impuestos aplicables.

Under construction and the service is bad and lazy - everything is for the owners convenience.
Pros:

The location is great and filtered water in the common area to fill up your water bottle.

Cons:

When we arrived the hotel was under construction and the bathroom was dirty. The bathroom is not properly sealed so there are bugs and black dirt came out of the shower whenever first used. The location is great so perhaps this could be make up for it, however, the owner is lazy and everything about this hotel is for his convenience. Breakfast finishes early when he needs to go somewhere so he’ll leave it out cold for you. The owner will tell you not to use the aircon for long or change the settings. The hotel is currently under construction which is not mentioned. The owner will make up the surcharge on the spot for paying by card for your stay so you’ll need to get cash out to pay for accomodation. Overall, the quality of service does not make up for the rundown state and current construction of the hotel.

Really enjoyed my stay.
Pros:

At first I was a bit taken back by the renovation work taking place but it did not impact my stay at all. My room was a great size , loved I could relax in the hammock and get hot water for my morning coffee all day! Free clean water available to top up my bottle and I slept so well as bed was really comfortable. Quiet and a good breakfast. Value for money and owner was very helpful. Great air con.

Cons:

Despite the middle of property doing renovations, no work was taking place during my 8 day stay.

I think I would have had a better San Cristobal experience at a different hotel.
Pros:

The location is great. Not far from playa Mann and not far from the downtown area. The staff and owner were also very friendly

Cons:

The hotel appeared to be under construction which was a bit of an eyesore but not what my main problem was. Everytime we left the room we came back to GIANT bugs. I’m not even that squeamish around bugs and I get it’s the price you pay to be surrounded by beautiful nature. But, maybe put a screen on the open window in the bathroom? Also worth noting we were on the ground floor and noticed that someone could have easily climbed into our open window. Galápagos is extremely safe but between the giant stink bugs, spiders and the open window on the ground floor, I didn’t sleep well.
