San Cristobal Island, Galápagos hotel rooms at the Independent

Excellent breakfast on the top floor with an amazing view.

Rooms are clean and Max (front desk) was exceptionally friendly. breakfast was very good. While rooms look clean and great on photos, living without extra space where to hang clothes makes room messy in reality. Why not add some extra hooks in the bathroom? Or near the door? Our luggage was always open and no plave where to put it. Also adding mirror in the room or outside shower is useful. We had one mirror in the bathroom and it was not convinient.

We loved that place. Specially Nelly, the staff who told us everything we needed to know. She even made us sandwiches for our trip to next island.

I liked being able to immediately walk out to swim with the sea lions. I had to get used to asking for face clothes; something that is apparently not part of this culture. The restaurant should label the items on the breakfast bar. The staff was SUPER!!!

The place is fantastic because the people who run it are so kind and accommodating....the rooms are spotless clean and modern and comfortable the people who run the place take hospitality to heart....I spotted this exotic tree with exotic fruits in the lovely garden in front of the hotel....I asked the lady what was that fruit she said guanabana....the next day after I got back from the tour the lady's daughter had guanabana peeled and sliced ready to eat for me in a bowl....the family who runs...

We had such a great stay here. The staff and service was top notch. Our room was always kept clean and we had a beautiful ocean view. Breakfast was delicious and they even offer to go breakfast, in case you leave before breakfast hours. The location is ideal- steps away from all the restaurants, shops and beaches. I would love to stay here again!

Near airport near every thing in San Cristobal, Galapagos

Beautiful hotel

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...

Excelente opción para hospedarse. El personal fue muy amable y atento durante toda la estancia. Las instalaciones estaban limpias y bien cuidadas, y la ubicación es excelente, muy cerca de restaurantes, tiendas y los principales puntos de interés. Sin duda, volvería a hospedarme aquí y lo recomiendo totalmente.

Great place such a cute little village like

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Clean, friendly, and comfortable don’t even begin to describe it. Easy walking distance to everything. You really can’t beat this place in San Cristobal. The staff really sets this place apart- when a cab I set up for myself didn’t show up to take me to the airport, the front desk staff dropped everything they were doing and ran out into the street to flag a cab down for me. I also forgot my AirPods and a portable charger in the room, I sent a...

We stayed at Hostal Gosén for a couple of days at the end of our stay in Galapagos. The owner was very friendly and helped with arranging the tours. The rooms were nice and comfortable. There is a great bakery and a laundry place on the same block. It was very close to town too and really economical too.

Cute place with lovely rooms. The ocean view was a plus. Loved watching the little sharks eat the thousands of little jumping, fish.

Fantastic stay at Mainao Hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating—always greeting us with a smile. We booked 9 rooms, and every single one was clean, spacious, and very well equipped for short or longer stays, with plenty of drawers and storage to truly settle in. They were exceptionally thoughtful, even asking our schedules so they could plan maintenance around our time out exploring. The location is perfect—easy walk to the pier, shops, dive centers, and...

The apartment is big and was very clean. What we loved the most was the location. It was close to the pier and lots of restaurants. I recommend it.

Eduarado was absolutely amazing! As was the rest of the team! Breakfast was delicious, everyone was so kind and welcoming. I unfortunately got sick on our vacation and the team made me tea to help me feel better and would ask my husband how I was doing. They were so caring and lovely!
