Loveley stay on Isabela
Really nice place to stay, very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. The food was excellent. Good advice and booking for tours. Location is a short walk from main centre, a few mins, but that makes it nice and quiet. Close to harbour so easy access from ferry.

Hotel to avoid
we had a booking 18-20 July but couldn’t get there as all flights cancelled. We had 5 hotels Booked and all but this one cancelled without question due to COVID. I offered to change booking to May 2021 but this was refused. I find this unfair as every other hotel on our trip agreed to cancel. They even confirmed that there were no flights so it was impossible to get there. This hotel clearly puts money before people and lacks any humanity. We will be going to the island in 2021 but certainly won’t stay with this establishment.

Things to consider before you book
The Hotel was quaint and clean. We booked a room with a twin and full bed and received a room with two twins. The room was very small, no room for luggage. I had to jump over my bag to get to the bathroom or door. Our bathroom door was an accordian style door which was not functioning properly and did not close, hence no privacy in the bathroom. I did get to peek into other rooms and they looked larger. Things to consider, this hotel is not in the town. It's a 10-15 minute walk into town. There is only wifi in the common area. The manager was attentive and the property was clean. We used the laundry service and it was very reasonable and quick. I only ate breakfast, it was basic but fine. Having to tell them in advance of dinner plans is a bit of a hassle since we didn't know our plans but I imagine it's a nice option is you don't want to walk into town at night.

I cannot day enough wonderful things about my stay here. The facilities were clean, staff was friendly and food was delicious. I also took advantage of the laundry service which was excellent. Fernando gave me a great tip on where to find a kayaking tour I wanted and was very helpful by putting in a call for our taxi. We really felt at home here.It’s also just a few minutes walk from the ferry.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Wooden House. It was in a great location relative to the ferry. They have a nice communal area downstairs with tv and games. We liked reading in the hammocks on the second floor. They have snorkel gear available for rent as well as a bar and pool. If you give them enough notice you can get dinner downstairs. We tried the dinner one night and it was delicious and included dessert. Overall really great stay and nice people!

Wooden House
Easy location from ferry, lovely staff, not luxurious but comfortable and homey. It's clean, safe and friendly. They rent snorkel gear. It's quality equipment. Their breakfast is early but twice we missed it and the accommodated us without asking for it. Food is fresh and comes from organic farm. You must request dinner ahead of time. Check out is also early. Schedule is due to ferry arrival and tour departures.

Best hotel in the Galapagos
I can't say enough great things about this hotel. The location is perfect - just a 5 minute walk from the port and Conche del Perla, and a 7 minute walk into town. The rooms are grounds are extremely clean, with hot water abounding and air conditioning if needed. We had wifi throughout the hotel and in our room, despite reading reviews that it may not be plentiful everywhere. The best part about our stay was the staff. Jose Carlos (the manager) welcomed us warmly when we arrived, and gave us a great overview of the island and tourist options. He checked in with us each morning and evening to genuinely ask about our day, and was always willing to help if we needed anything. When we left the island, we immediately had withdrawls. We are hoping to plan a return trip to the island solely to stay and experience the Wooden House again!

This hotel does not keep track of Expedia reservations. We arrived, in a remote place we'd never been before, to be told the hotel had no rcord of our reservation. They asked for proof and we gave them everything we had, it should have been more than enough, but the guy working the desk didn't seem to think so despite taking photos of all my documentation, something I consented to but was very uncomfortable with. finally the guy acted like he was being charitable with us and said we could stay the night and we'd figure it out the next morning. They put us in the worst room they had, not the one we reserved with Expedia, a double bed room. It was in the center of all the staff work stations- very loud from very early in the morning to 9pm. The next day the front desk person told us that they had found our reservation but had double booked it because they had failed to keep our room reserved. We'd have to stay in the one they'd put us in until half way through our stay. The day before we were due to check out, this same guy, a manager I think, basically told us we'd have to leave by 9am instead of noon because he had other people checking into the room that day. We paid in full and we should have flat out refused but he took advantage of us a vulnerable travelers who started out "without a reservation." Expedia needs to improve its lines of communication with remote hotels. I doubt we'll book with them again and we don't recommend this hotel.

Anlage ok, Zimmer Flop
Das Hotel ist sehr schön gelegen. Die Anlage ist klein, aber ausreichend. Leider war unser Zimmer extrem hellhörig, von allen Seiten einsehbar und die Möbel hatten Jugendherbergscharme. Es stand noch ein Hochbett in der Ecke, das wir dann tatsächlich auch nutzen mussten, weil das Doppelbett so schmal war, dass wir nicht schlafen konnten. Also Anlage, Lage und Service angenehm. aber wegen des Zimmers würden wir hier nicht mehr Urlaub machen.

Ótima opção
Muito Boa opção em Isabela - que é uma ilha bem rústica! Esse hotel acolhedor fica a 5 minutos a pé do Porto de onde chegam os transportes para a ilha e saem os passeios para o mar. Como a ilha é pequena, dá para rodar bastante à pé (para quem gosta de caminhar) a partir do hotel . O café da manhã personalizado é muito bom. O pessoal super gentil. Na primeira noite dormimos em um quarto no térreo perto da cozinha que achamos barulhento (manhã e noite). Pedimos para mudar para o segundo andar e fomos para um quarto ótimo: em cima, com vista pra praia: show!
