San Cristobal Island, Galápagos hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very clean room, great service, lovely updated rooms"

"I think this is the second best hotel in the island, but our room for sure had the best view. Deborah was the best host, from check in, to information and everything else. She is awesome. "

"Rooms were clean and super nice. Seemed like a very new/modern hotel. The view from our room was stunning and breakfast was very good. Would 100% come here again. The hotel is also in a nice location and it’s easy to walk around town or down the path to the beach. "

"Amazing lovely staff Fab breakfast Great location 10 out of 10 in all aspects I can highly recommend "

"The owner was friendly and accommodating! We only stayed one night but the room was clean and there was hot water for showers! It’s writhing walking distance of the boardwalk/restaurants and bars. Lots of cats around which I enjoyed but if you’re allergic, I’d take heed! "

"Absolute recommendable"

"Review for Casa de Nelly – San Cristóbal, Galápagos We arrived at Casa de Nelly with modest expectations, but our experience far exceeded them in every way. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and kindness of the family made us feel truly at home. They provided personalized advice tailored to our needs, answered all our questions with genuine friendliness, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay possible. The location is perfect—just two blocks from the Malecón (seafront) and about a seven-minute walk to Playa Mann. It made exploring San Cristóbal easy and convenient. And let’s not forget the family dog—we even fell in love with him. Casa de Nelly isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience filled with hospitality and heart. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to friends and family."

"This is a family-owned and run hotel that is next to their restaurant and tour business. We soon became family even though we did not speak each others' languages. It is next to the water and pier. We loved sitting out front and listening to the sea lions bark and watch the crabs scurrying about their business. The coveted blue-footed boobie visited each evening."
