"Very well located. Staff is attentive and helpful, specially at the desk and dining areas. Hotel is well kept and clean. Highly recommended "

"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! "

"We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff was nice. Max at the front desk was SUPER helpful and pleasant. Aside from that, an excellent location to enjoy the best of San Cristóbal island has to offer. We didn't want to leave. "

"Absolute recommendable"

"Wonderful stay! Rooms are spotless and the staff went out of their way for us. The shower was phenomenal! Would stay here again for sure. Highly recommend. "

"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."
