Good location, just a short walk to the main port. The accomodation has a great vibe with lots of hammocks around. The rooms were spacious and great large bathroom. The kitchen was a great advantage, being able to make our own food when we wanted. Air conditioning was also a big bonus, was needed with the humidity. We had a fantastic stay!

No frills budget hotel

White House Galapagos was a nice, clean place to stay. It’s nothing fancy and the front desk is usually empty but for a budget place to stay it does the job!

The location is just a couple blocks off the major tourist blvd; far enough off for a quiet night but close enough to walk and be in the middle of everything. With a local market, shops and restaurants, It’s a great location to feel you are part of the community. Very family friendly. As a group of females traveling with children, we felt very safe here. Everything you need is within steps (food market, pharmacy, restaurants). Taxis are easily hailed right on curb for longer distances. We didn’t cook, but there is a full kitchen available 24 hours a day. We were also able to store our bags in the lobby after check-out but taking a late ferry to another island. We had two comfortable, clean, and quiet rooms. I’d stay again. We actually did stay twice, once on arrival to islands and again the night before we left for the airport after island hopping.

It was a really nice place to stay, they have bikes for rent, it's like being at home. You can use the kitchen and cook. The only thing would be that the rosters around the area sing really early. Besides that, it's a good place to stay 5/5

Pros: The room serves its purpose and I liked it. Cons: When I got there they said my reservation did not appear in their system. You have to pay in cash only. The area around the property felt a little unsafe and there was a cockroach in my room.

Lots of hammocks and space to hang out. You can rent bikes from here for $10 a day but we did get a flat while using them. They’re okay bikes. Clean and nice spot to stay.

It was at walking distance from the piers. There was a shared kitchen for guests to prepare and store their food. Drinking water was also available there. The only comment is about the hosts - they were always never around. There was nobody to help with transportation and questions. Payment was cash only!

I arrived with no staff present for almost an hour, while I wrote in Whatsapp to Arnette day before I arrived; so she knew the time window to greet me before arriving. I was very upset there was nobody there to help me check in. Then I had to pay Cash, very sudden, and rude surprise; so I paid cash. I asked her to call me a Taxi, and she said no need, I can just pick one up outside. She was unprofessional business perdon. I cannot at all recommend her place to stay.

Eigentlich eine nette Anlage mit viel Potential. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Bei den vielen positiven Bewertungen waren wir sehr enttäuscht von der mangelnden Sauberkeit :( Zahnpasta vom Vorgänger am Waschbecken, Haare in der Dusche, schmutziger Boden, sehr verdreckte Küche, etc. Schade. Nettes Personal.
