Super Unterkunft auf Santa Cruz, wenn man die Galapagos auch ohne großes Budget bereisen möchte. Der Gastgeber ist super
Pros:

Der Gastgeber ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Die Zimmer waren so wie erwartet eingerichtet. Alles was man brauchte war da.
Auf Wünsche wurde eingegangen. Einen Morgen brauchten wir schon um 6.45 Frühstück. Eigentlich gibt es von 7.00-7.30 Frühstück.

Cons:

Am ersten Tag war unser Bad nicht sauber, aber ohne was zu sagen wurde es am nächsten Tag gründlich gereinigt. Evtl. Wurde es am Anfang einfach vergessen?

Très bon rapport qualité-prix et au calme
Pros:

Hôtel avec un excellent rapport qualité/prix comparé aux autres offres que j'avais trouvées. L'hôtel est proche du centre-ville sans être au coeur de la zone touristique des bars et restaurants, ce qui permet d'éviter le bruit et de trouver des endroits moins chers où manger, tout en étant très bons.
Les lits étaient confortables et le petit-déjeuner très correct. Le gérant est sympathique et attentif pour répondre aux différentes demandes. Je recommande l'établissement si on veut se loger pour pas cher avec un niveau de qualité très satisfaisant.

Cons:

Rien de spécial à relever.

Pros:

L’accoglienza dell’host e la grandezza delle camere

Pros:

Het was een rustige buurt. Je bent op 10 minuten wandelen in het centrum. Een lekker ontbijt, elke morgen kregen we iets anders. De kamer werd elke dag gepoetst. We werden vriendelijk ontvangen en kregen enkele stickers van de Galapagos wanneer we vertrokken. Goede bedden en ruime kamer.

Cons:

Wifi in de kamer was een beetje minder, maar aan het onthaal in de zetels was de wifi goed.

Clean, quiet and comfortable
Pros:

The property was quiet, clean and comfortable. We were provided breakfast each morning which was lovely. The family who run the property are friendly and helpful.
The room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. Our room was cleaned every day.
The kitchen was clean and there was always drinking water available.
The property is about a 10min walk out of the Main Street of the island, however this is why we chose it and liked it. It was an easy walk and there was no noise around.
