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. Location: In the town for local shops, market and bus stop. Less than 5min walk to the beachfront restaurants and bars. Size of the room was generous and v comfortable. Hammocks and comfortable areas for relaxing as well as everything practical we could have needed: a well stocked kitchen, lockable cupboard in the room, lots of airing space for drying clothes. Good wifi - there is little to no signal on Galapagos and they had a starlink that provided the best wifi we found on the islands. Code-locked front gate meant you could come and go at leisure. Staff were very helpful: helped us to understand the bus to Santa Rosa (every 15mins 8am-10pm) for the El Chato Reserve to save money on taxis and even watched our bags for us the day we checked out so we could enjoy one more beach day before we left. There were bikes available to rent from the owners but we didn't use them. Also recommend ALMAR waterfront restaurant.
