The only thing - which is out of control of the management - is that I found a huge spider in my room a late night and I could not do much about it :D.

Perfect location, to 2 minutes away from the beach, practically in front of one of the nicest and coziest bars in the island and with great service. Great wifi and good breakfast too. Special thanks to Janet, for making me feel like at home, taking care of me and helping me organizing the tours. I will highly recommend this hostal to anyone visiting Isabela.

We travel as a family of 5 (2 couples and 1 single) so we took 3 rooms with private bathroom. First of all, highly recommend staying in the Isabella, second and very important Janet family is lovely, helpful and patient, service is very very good! Thanks a lot. They organized all the tours with good prices and good guides (3 different ones) they all went well. Breakfast was varied each day different and really tasty. Rooms are big and confortable. Near the hotel (some meters away) there is a great beach bar we went several times (there are beach games, nice cocktails, nice music, chill island style). Restaurants are also nearby. We also recommend to go to muro de lagrimas (with a picnic and water) and spend the day in the many stops they have. Thank you Janet family for all, we had a incredible time! We certainly recommend to spend your holidays here.

All good!

Beautiful location in view of the sea and almost direct beach access; and good quiet location on the western edge of town. Helpful host and lovely breakfasts. Even made us a pack lunch on last day as we had to leave before breakfast.

The ONLY complaint we have is the water provided to drink was only desalinated and not filtered water. We opted to buy bottled water in 2gal intervals from a nearby store about 2blocks away. That is a much better option for international travelers. Maybe the national travelers it won't affect.

The hostess was absolutely incredible, looking out "for her girls." She was very responsive, very attentive. We had dietary needs and she took account this info for our breakfasts. The tours she suggested for us were GREAT, a good value for the money. We did A 1/2 day tour to Tintoreras and also a longer day going up to the Sierra Negra Volcano, which was a serious 4hr HIKE, but well worth it. Bring snacks in addition to the snacks provided. The hostess also offers laundry service w sameday turn around time, if given in the morning. The airconditioning worked really well, make sure you turn it off whenever you leave the room. Isabela was intense heat. Make sure you hydrate well. We asked for an interior room, so we didn't hear street noise. The second floor has a wonderful beach view from the balcony off the shared living room. The beach across the street is fantastic for sunsets!

Room #2 of the first floor, there is no WiFi connection, and have to go to the receptionist area to use internet.

Janet is a very nice host, who is super friendly and helpful. Although we don't speak Spanish, Janet patiently explained and helped us to book activities and transportation for us. In addition, every morning Janet provided us very delicious breakfast.

Everyone was friendly and helpfully. I get a good breakfast every morning with fresh fruits. You have free water, tea and coffee. It was near the beach, wonderful view. I would come again and stay here.

Simple but comfortable. The room was a little bit small for us (we are with 3 kids).

It is a very great place to stay. Around 20min from the port on foot or by cab 1 dollar. The unterknft is very central and 1min from the beach. We were warmly welcomed. Attention it is only Spanish spoken, but you can somehow communicate or have to prepare it accordingly. Mobile reception on the island is relatively good. You can book tours directly on site or buy tickets for the ferry (30 USD one way). The rooms are big enough and very clean. Shower with hot water and AC. We found it very quiet and slept very well. Nearby there are bars, restaurants, food stalls, bike rental. Janet is a very nice lady who wants to give her guests the best stay possible. Thank you very much

Nothing

The hosts are super friendly. Every day it was cleaned. Breakfast was perfect. The kitchen has every thing you need. Air conditioning wored. WLAN is as everywhere on galapagos slow. It takes 20m to the beach. Near to the hostel is the pink iguana bar, super view and locals play live music. They give you water and bananas for free.

Location, cleanliness, service! Across the street is the beach with the best bar in the world, the Pink Iguana.
