Great location right in town near all the restaurants and tour companies. Super clean, beautiful ocean view, and overall just wonderful. Every staff member is incredibly nice and helpful. They even walked with us to the place we needed to go buy return ferry tickets to Santa Cruz and stayed to make sure we got everything correctly!

The hotel and the personnel who run it are just wonderful. It's on the pricey end for hotels here, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mateo United States of America

The staff were all so friendly! Great location on the beach. Clean and well maintained.

Kevin United States of America

Hotel Albemarle is a great hotel and I can't recommend it enough. Tim the owner, a New Zealander, is a cool dude and the hotel staff is great and highly attentive. Juliette in particular helped me with every aspect of my trip, from booking dinners and activities as well as making me feel welcome as a solo traveler. I had a great time, and look forward to returning and exploring more of the Galapagos Islands :)

Piyush United States of America

The Galapagos are something that should be on everyone's bucket list. The infrastructure is not like many other places in the world, but the people are super friendly, and the wildlife is absolutely amazing. Hotel Albemarle was a great place to stay and we were able to get some amazing photos and videos. There are many things to do right outside of the hotel, and the staff was very helpful in providing us with advice about what to do during our stay. If you are going to the Galapagos, I would recommend staying at Hotel Albemarle.

Breakfast was tasty! We enjoyed the fresh fruit juice, freshly made omelettes, cheese and meat selection, and bread and jams.

The staff was very friendly and they always asked about your plans to improve your stay there. For example, if you arrive early and they have the possibility, you can check in earlier. You can also get beach towels from the hotel. The breakfast was very nice especially with fresh cooked eggs and juices. Coffee and tee are available the whole day. We also got a room upgrade which made our stay wonderful.

Wonderful hotel and facilities right on the beachfront. Balcony looking out over the sea and a pool on the property for rest and relaxation as you like. Juliette was amazing, nothing was too much trouble, she made our stay even more wonderful and we were sad to leave. Hotel is right on the beach front and within easy reach of the shops for bike, snorkel and other hires. We'll definitely be back!
