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!

Featuring a bike rental service, Ocean Dreams offers self-catering accommodation. Free WiFi access is available.

Rooms at Ocean Dreams have a modern décor and feature air conditioning, and a flat-screen cable TV, while suites feature a air-conditioning and a flat-screen cable TV, as well as a microwave and a refrigerator. All of the private bathrooms also come with a shower and free toiletries. The owner is incredibly nice and helpful, even with very basic English skills she makes everything work. She takes care of you and any requests you might have. The tour and taxi she organised was very good and cheap as well. The hotel is nicely located with like 5 minutes to the sea and 10 minutes to Darwin center (no need to go there). The air conditioning works, the water pressure is okay (it's excellent in some rooms), the whole hotel is clean - so I can recommend Oceans Dreams absolutely and without any doubts. I can't emphasize enough how likeable and nice and heartwarming the owner is. Being there didn't feel like business but more like family.

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. The rooftop terrace was a great place to chill, chat with others and the kitchen was a very convenient money saver. The staff were so helpful, and even though I had to check out early to meet their rules, I was able to hang out for a few hours until it was time to catch my flight. They held my bags for me, which was also helpful.
