Severe Ant Infestation & No Hot Water – Forced to Walk Out at Night
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

We had a horrific experience at Royal Galápagos Inn and were forced to check out at night due to severe hygiene and sanitary issues.

Unprepared Room: Upon arrival, the initial room assigned to us was dirty and uncleaned. The staff moved us to another room.

Severe Ant Infestation: When we returned in the evening, we found the room completely infested with ants—covering the furniture, table, floor, and bed. My wife was bitten multiple times while sitting on the bed.

No Hot Water: The shower had no hot water. When we informed the front desk, the staff member checked, falsely claimed it was fixed, smiled, and told us to "play with the faucet" before leaving without solving the issue.

Refusal of Refund: Due to these uninhabitable conditions, we packed our bags around 20:00, informed reception, declined a third room offer, and walked out to find alternative accommodation. The property refused to refund our payment for a service they failed to provide.

Avoid this hotel at all costs! Health hazard and unacceptable service.

It’s ok if you’re on a budget.
Pros:

The view from the top balcony was really nice! The breakfast was also good. The rooms were spacious.

Cons:

The rooms were pretty dirty. We did not get clean linens every day. Bugs appeared in one of the bathrooms and got into some luggage. The property is also under construction so the pictures don’t look like it does in real life.

No recomendable
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

La realidad es muy distinta a las fotos. Sin agua caliente, mala limpieza, desayuno mediocre. En la noche queda cerrada la entrada al hotel, menos mal nos dieron llave de esa puerta. Decepcionante en todo sentido, mediocre, no lo recomiendo.

Pros:

A big room with big and firm queen size beds.

Cons:

There were mosquitos in the room. The hinges of the toilet door gave out a cranky sound when opening the door at night.

Pros:

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect! It is just a short walk from the beautiful waterfront and the beach, making it very convenient to explore the area and enjoy the surroundings.

The staff is very friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with any requests. The service was warm and welcoming throughout my stay.

The breakfasts are delicious, a lovely way to start the day.

I truly enjoyed my stay here and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great location, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Cons:

The only small downside was that the bed was a little too firm for my preference, and the pillows were not very comfortable. However, this was a minor issue, and overall, my experience was excellent.

A bit dilapidated and new construction all around
Pros:

Lala was on site and very helpful with booking tours. Eduardo, owner helped me get back to the airport. The lobby and dining room were acceptable.
Breakfast was pretty basic scrambled eggs bread coffee and fresh squeezed juice.
Close to Carola and Mann Beach.

Cons:

The actual rooms left a lot to be desired. I was in room nine which is older had ants linens that were not very clean and shower fixtures that definitely needed updating and a fresh paint job. I actually stayed at another property for two days within my stay here and my room was never cleaned while I was gone. Trash wasn't emptied? sheets weren't changed , bed wasn't made. I was very very disappointed at that.

There appears to be a focus on the new construction going on which was noisy and the existing rooms got no attention at all.

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.
