We truly enjoyed our stay at Coloma! The facility was very clean, the staff were friendly, and the daily turn down service was very much appreciated. The honesty bar was a nice way to allow us access to bottled water, beer/wine, and other beverages at anytime. Front desk staff were very helpful in arranging airport transfers and providing information on other island activities.

friendly staff and wonderful location

The staff were as friendly as can be. For example, for the daily change of bath towels, the cleaning lady didn’t bang on our door and then enter one second later. Rather, she gently tapped on the door a couple times, waiting for me to answer the door.

A friend and I spent 3 nights at the Hotel Coloma. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and quite large, with 3 twin beds. There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room. Filtered water was available in the common areas, along with a pitcher and glasses in our room. Everything was clean and breakfast was good. We left very early for tours two days and were provided with breakfast-to-go. It was a short walk to restaurants, shopping, and the port.

More hostel than hotel, but therein lies the charm. The location is a short walk to everything. The complimentary breakfast is like being at a family members house when they make breakfast for you as a guest. You get what they serve you, but delicious. The staff desires you to be happy above all else. From what I could tell there were two women that did everything, but with a smile and always checking in with to make sure you were satisfied. For the price, it’s excellent! The rooster made sure you were up on time for your tour everyday!

We wouldn’t stay here again. A few reasons why… first they advertise for serval things that they do not provide like laundry service and bike rental (it’s even written on the wall that they have these services). Additionally, this is advertised as a hotel on Expedia but it’s actually a hostel (the logo on the pillows says “hostal”). Our “King” bed was two twins pushed together. The shower was awful, you either had boiling hot water or ice cold water coming from the shower. Lastly, my wife and I saw two roaches during our stay. One was on the first floor and a couple of days later one in our room! The two good things about this place is the location and the breakfast that they provide.

Hotel Coloma is in the Main Street with easy access to shops and Pier. Staff were friendly and the breakfast, fresh and delicious with your choice of eggs whatever way you want them. We needed 1 night prior to cruise departing - this was perfect.

Good hotel

Very cool designed hotel and in a great location. Was a little short staffed but it might have been low season. The shower didn’t work well and the floors inside and outside were very slippery when wet. The room was clean and the staff were friendly.

Be prepared for lack of sleep

Room was OK... but slight damp smell in bathroom. Breakfast was good but the whole place was spoiled by very noisy music nearby which interrupted sleep.

Walking distance to the centre and the entrance to Tortuga Bay. As a Gold member, the free drinks are 2 pouches of small orange juice. My room was cleaned but my sheets were never replaced during my stay. Very helpful receptionist for tour recommendations. I'd say the breakfast was average, one of the days, I remember the supposed hot breakfast to actually be cold. The door of my room was tricky to open and lock.

Convenient, comfortable, friendly

Great hotel, mid-range for Galapagos. The owner is wonderful and is a dentist whose office is attached to the hotel. Either he or staff member was always immediately available. They warned us not to drink tap water and made clean water easily available, delivered to our room every day and available in lobby. He also had drinks and beach towels available for us to borrow or buy, all on the honor system; we definitely felt welcome. Most of the hotel is outside with trees, birds, etc. just outside our room. We had a quiet room until the last day when there was construction due to sudden damage to part of the hotel...totally unforeseen and not a problem for us. The hotel is very convenient and we could walk to the beach, the National Park, Darwin Center and lots of restaurants and shops.
Sea lions are everywhere. Take pictures, but don't approach or feed. We snorkeled with them!
