Hotel Indigo Galapagos by IHG

Hotel Indigo Galapagos by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful stay at Hotel Indigo. Room was very clean, staff was very helpful. Location is ideal in the center of town and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, the pier AND the airport! You can technically walk to the airport. Perfect stay and location."

Hotel y Restaurante Miconia

8/10 Good
"The property is very nice. Our room was #11. It was an inexpensive option, but the toilet leaked from the bathroom into the main room. Only one nightstand was provided. The window near the air conditioner had a cardboard cover and the cold water faucet did not have water. We advised the staff the next morning. The cardboard was removed, we were told that there is only one water faucet and the leak was not addressed or if they attempted to fix it, it didn’t work. It’s a nice property but what was disappointing was the un-attentive staff. They either had no authority or could care less."

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was beautiful and in the best location! The pier for tour pickup is right out front and everything is within walking distance. Max greeted us at check-in and was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The breakfast was great and filling, with an amazing rooftop view. The only negatives were: we had confirmed hotel pick-up, however no one was there when we arrived. I think just a miscommunication using the chat feature. The water pressure in the shower was low with no hot water, which was no biggie for us, but maybe a deal breaker for others. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"
