Great location! ##### John Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike 17 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is located right next to “restaurant row” which is a street with many dining options and geared mostly toward the tourists. The hotel A/C and Wi-Fi worked well, and I had a comfortable night here. There is a motion sensor hall light that shines into the room through the top windows and some noise as they walk by. It gets quiet after 10:00 so not too much of an inconvenience. Staff helped me with bus arrangements. There is an upstairs lounge area that overlooks the street and would be a nice spot to visit with friends. ##### Mike Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tore 26 Jun 2025 #### Central and cheap Location was great, reception only manned daytime. Room with shower ok, had to change room due to very small ants. Air Condition worked well, price VERY low. ##### Tore Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Simone 1 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### Simone Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 12 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness #### Convenient and clean hotel It was a good experience overall. The hotel is only a couple of blocks from the central square and harbour in Puerto Ayora. It was hot and humid on the island, so we appreciated the air conditioning. There was lots of hot water for showers. Our only problem was drying out swimming clothes, because we were in the water almost every day. We wrung them out and hung them up, but they made the whole room damp. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Danny 16 Dec 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service I booked the place online with the option to pay at the check-in, but they did not have the option for credit or debit card, so I had to pay by cash which was not in my budget ##### Danny Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ruth 12 Aug 2022 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is old, mouldy and run down. I’m sure it was lovely in its prime but now things are broken, mildewy and shabby. Mould on the bathroom ceiling, broken soap dispensers, broken mosquito blinds, windows that don’t close properly and lack of information in the room. (i.e. you have to go back to reception to ask for a hairdryer and the wifi code). The table in the room was rusty and no spare pillows available. We wouldn’t recommend staying here. ##### Ruth Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Natascha 22 Apr 2024 Disliked: Staff & service #### Zwischenstop Empfang war sehr unfreundlich. Hatte keine Ahnung von einer Reservation. Erhielt dann aber ein Zimmer. War nur für 1 Nacht dort aufgrund von Zwischenstop zwischen den Inseln. Macht einen heruntergekommenen Eindruck. Lage ist gut, zu Fuss nur ca. 3 Minuten vom Hafen und viele Restaurants und Geschäfte in der Umgebung. ##### Natascha Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Todo estuvo muy bien. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elfie 22 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ubicación conveniente Estuvo todo bien.

Einfach nur grauenhaft & unfreundlich! ⛔️ Beim Check-In wollte mir die Dame nicht das von mir im Voraus vollständig bezahlte Zimmer geben. Stattdessen wurde mir erst Mal das kleinste Zimmer gegeben, weil ich ja ohnehin alleine sei. Allerdings hatte ich für ein viel grösseres Zimmer bezahlt. Nach langem Hin- und Her, bekam ich dann zwar immer noch nicht das gebuchte/bezahlte Zimmer, dennoch passte es für mich von der Grösse her. Ich akzeptierte. ⛔️ Um 6 Uhr morgens fingen versch. Leute im selben Haus/Komplex mit der sehr lauten Handwerksarbeit an! Schlafen konnte man nicht! ⛔️ Jeden Tag musste ich nach erfolgter Zimmerreinigung nach Toilettenpapier & einem Handtuch bitten. ⛔️ Alles sehr alt, schmutzig, unhygienisch, völlig verstaubt, verdreckt & einfach nur schmuddelig. ⛔️ Laut Beschreibung sollte das Hostal ein Restaurant haben & Frühstück gegen Aufpreis anbieten. Dem war leider nicht so. Die Beschreibung ist völlig veraltet. 👍Das einzig Gute am Sir Francis Drake ist die Lage. ##### Simona Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce6 5 Feb 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place. Third floor has sea breeze and nice little balcony/patio. It is about a block from ocean and right around the corner from a great little row of restaurants. Honey, who runs the place seems to know about everything going on and is a great font of information. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Bruce6 Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Klaus, Westerngrund 9 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Es war immer sauber, die Rezeption freundlich und eigentlich durchgehend besetzt. Bei Problemen war sofort Hilfe da. ##### Klaus Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Olchik, Canada 2 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Check in went smooth, however the receptionist didn't provide me with the wifi upon check in. she told me to come see her after. but after she was nowhere to be found. One of the other guests shared the wifi password with me. The wifi was very poor in the room, lobby was great. The lighting in the hallway is was at was very poorly lit. also going down the staircase, sometimes the automated lights wouldn't go on and i would have to walk semi-dark downstairs. ##### Olchik Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Feb 2020 Liked: Amenities Ok for the price. Only room in Galapagos that had a tv (not that we used it). Good working a/c, comfy beds, quiet, filtered water available. Bathroom was pretty smelly, not really well cleaned. Very close to pier, right in downtown. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue, Uk 21 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff very, very friendly .

Aufenthalt war das Zimmer gut, beim 2.Aufenthalt nicht befriedigend.Die Klimaanlage war alt, laut und nicht regulierbar.Nachts haben wir darauf verzichtet,um nicht zu erfrieren und wegen der Geräusche.Entgegen der Buchung gab es keinen Balkon und der Fernseher hatte nicht 38 Zoll sondern eher 38 cm Bilddiagonale. Obwohl wir eine Buchung inklusive Frühstück gebucht hatten, wollte man uns zunächst das Frühstück verweigern und erst nach unserem Insistieren konnten wir gratis frühstücken, allerdings nur um 7.30h.Deswegen wurden wir auch um 7.15h gweckt,um an diese Frühstückszeit zu erinnern.Selbst die "offizielle" Frühstückszeit von 7.30 -8.30h fanden wir sehr früh,schliesslich sind wir im Urlaub und nicht auf Montage. Im Übrigen mussten wir immer versuchen,uns auf Spanisch verständlich zu machen, niemand im Hotel hat auch nur ansatzweise Englisch verstanden. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 18 Jan 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Can't recommend this place 1\. Wifi didn't worked 2\. Service was bad and none of the staff could speak english 3\. No breakfast (even though we've booked it) 4\. Our room was dirty 5\. The rooms are not like the pictures you see ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### David, New Orleans 8 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very good location and friendly staff. Melanie (young woman at reception) went out of her way to help and make sure everything was good. Rooms are quite different so check around. It seems a bit cheaper if you just book when you get there. WiFi is ok but not great, hot water is available but often takes a while to get hot. I didn't have breakfast included in my rate ($42 a night, more or less in early Dec 2018), so the value was not the best. With breakfast included and hot water for coffee and tea, it would be better value. But a very good value location and very good location. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Amazon Dolphin Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shushufindi-Hotels-Amazon-Dolphin-Lodge.h11249806.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful apartment at the Condado de Alhama golf resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alhama-De-Murcia-Hotels-Beautiful-Apartment-At-The-Condado-De-Alhama-Golf-Resort.h39138135.Hotel-Information) > > [Winery Hotels in Alicante](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alicante-Hotels-Winery-Hotels.0-0-d356-tWineryHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Guayaquil Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guayaquil-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Guayaquil-Airport.h5959068.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Park Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Park-Lane-Hotels.0-l6168525-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [La Mirage Garden Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ibarra-Hotels-La-Mirage-Garden-Hotel-And-Spa.h903975.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Norwich Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Station-Hotels.d6042083.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [BUNK Hotel Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-BUNK-Hotel-Amsterdam.h23199750.Hotel-Information) > > [Gulnar Taiba Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Medina-Hotels-Gulnar-Taiba-Hotel.h46130632.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Mid-Wales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mid-Wales-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6054275-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Parking in Vauxhall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vauxhall-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6188406-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Termas de Papallacta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papallacta-Hotels-Termas-De-Papallacta.h1832801.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Caserta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caserta-Hotels.d4932.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Meraki Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banos-De-Agua-Santa-Hotels-Meraki-Hotel.h17970214.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Homes Antarctica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antarctica-Private-Holiday-Homes.d11700-aaPrivateHolidayHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hôtel et Spa l’Eclose by Odalys](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huez-Hotels-Aparthotel-Prestige-Odalys-LEclose.h84346802.Hotel-Information) > > [Naturhotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Turi-Hotels-Naturhotel.h101385505.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Oban](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d9144-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Ulceby (HUY) to Gibraltar (GIB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/huy/gib/hull-to-gibraltar) ### Cars ### Packages > [Lion Monument](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lion-Monument-Lucerne.d6161740.Attraction) > > [Varanasi Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Varanasi.d3724.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Leeds City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Leeds-City-Center.dx6340976) ---
