La Mirada del Solitario George is located in Puerto Ayora, just 4 minutes’ drive from Charles Darwin Station and next to Cazares School. Free WiFi zones are available in some areas of the hostel and tea, coffee and water is available for guests. Incredibly friendly family owned hostal! Our room was big and cozy, with great air conditioning and a hot shower. The couple who run the hostel were so kind and gave us heaps of information to help make the most of our time on the island. The hostal is a 15 minute walk from town, but we didn’t mind this as it meant for quiet nights. Would definitely recommend, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! Filtered drinking water available too!

Located within 800 metres of Los Alemanes Beach and less than 1 km of Tortuga Bay, Hostal Gardner provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Puerto Ayora. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Brian at Hostel Gardner is simply amazing :) I have a knee injury so climbing stairs is tough, so he helped me first by helping to try find a single room and when that was not possible tried to offer me a refund or to give me the possibility of a first floor so I don’t have to climb to third or fourth floor. Very centrally located with everything being a walk away. The tour agency opposite the hostel is fantastic and gives you the best prices in town for tours. Plus the hostel is amazing with its facilities (dorm bed/ comforter/ ac and bathroom with hot water) and the lounge area on fourth floor with deck seats and a fully equipped kitchen is just the icing on the cake!

Located in Puerto Ayora, White House Galapagos offers free WiFi access throughout the property.

The functional rooms here will provide the guests with air conditioning, a patio and access to a shared kitchen. The full bathrooms include free toiletries. Views of the surrounding garden can be enjoyed from these accommodations. I arrived late for my one night stay and didn't know exactly where I was until morning. The hostal is just a few minutes from the main road and 5 more into the town. The garden and sitting area was laid out beautifully and coffee was free. The room was clean, the shower amazing and the bed comfy with a soft pillow. I will definately stay there again. Highly recommended!
