Property was clean and well maintained. It safe also. It is close to restaurant, market and a short walk to the beach. I just would have liked a TV in the room
The breakfast was delicious, the staff were very friendly and helpful, everything was very clean, and the central location made it extremely convenient. Overall, a great stay!
This hostel was everything that we could need on our trip to Isabela Island. The room was very clean and was cleaned everyday by housekeeping. The lady running the hostel was very sweet and even let us check in early so we could put our things away after arriving to the island. Breakfast was great and a very nice touch.
I have so many great things to say about my stay! Our room was very clean and we received cleaning service whenever we wanted, we loved our cold AC and hot showers ! We enjoyed our breakfast buffet in the mornings and Dani and her family made us feel at home. We can’t wait to visit them again !
Very pleasant family place. That were really helpful and even managed to get us a refund from the taxi we took to the hotel when he over charged us. Very happy over all!
This is a very nice place to stay while in Isabela
Family owned they will go the extra mile to make you feel like at home. I will recommend this place and for sure will book again if I come back to beautiful Isabela island
Breakfast was delicious (fruit, scrambled eggs, bread, cheese, coffee, juice). The owners were very friendly and accommodating (we checked in a bit early and they let us go in since the room was ready). Location is wonderful since it is a walking distance from great restaurants, bakery and downtown. All great!
This is a great stay if you go to Isabela, also they help you book all the tours so that you can make the most out of your stay and everything is on time
The owners were very friendly and welcoming. It appeared to be a family run establishment and they made sure we felt at home. Rooms are simple, clean and safe. A few blocks from the beach and close to all amenities.
Friendly environment. Convenient to arrange tours in t he hotel. great breakfast. clean and comfortable. everyone was very attentive. I will highly recommend to stay at the Tintorera hostel!

It is a budget friendly hotel! The staff are kind and welcoming. However the service is limited. No hair dryer, the sheets are so thin and the towels are over washed, and mosquitoes can get into the room from the door and window opening. Breakfast is very limited. I only stayed for one night so the details didn’t bother me much but definitely would be hard if I had stayed longer.
We would highly recommend staying here for many reasons. Breakfast each morning was super fresh and consisted of fruit, juice, bread, eggs cooked to order, coffee, yogurt, granola and jam. Fresh cheese from the island was also very good.
Rooms were very clean, comfortable and quiet and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange 3 different tours which included pick up at the hotel which made everything easy and enjoyable.
Laundry was also done for us at the going rate around town which was quite convenient. They also provided drop off and pick up from the airport.
This is exactly what we hoped for during our stay.
I love everything about Tintorera, all the people making my experience in Isabela amazing. The breakfast is delicious and sharing where all their organic food comes from was also an amazing experience. Hope to return soon, thank you so much
We really enjoyed staying at this hostel. Very clean room full of natural light, good shower. The service excellent with a wonderful breakfast. The owner always ready to help and answer any questions. Highly recommended
