Av. Alsacio Northia y Narciso Olaya, a 4 minutos a pie de Playa Man, 200102 Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Ecuador –

Lock in a great price for Dolphin House – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

We stayed in a double room with a window facing the sea which was great! Staff is super helpful, they give you a great overview of the things you can do in the island and recommendations where to go and everything. They also help you calling for cabs and booking tours with their partners. They are also able rent snorkeling gear to their guests which is perfect so you don't waste time looking for a place where to rent.

I loved the room we stayed in- it was on the top floor and the view was incredible. There were several hammocks for us to relax in and a balcony for us to use at our leisure. The location was perfect, right in the middle of the town and within walking distance of the educational centers, playa Mann, the piers where we were picked up for tours in the morning, and even the local bakery (open at 6am to allow for getting breakfast before our tours!). Very clean room and very attentive staff. Our hostess even was able to arrange our ferry ride to Santa Cruz last minute- I would say this place exceeded expectations!

Maureen, United States of America

Very friendly, helpful staff, really nice location. The owner, on his own initiative, drove us to the ferry at 6:15 in the morning! His daughters were wonderfully friendly and informative.

Lisa, United States of America

This is a great place to stay! The staff is absolutely wonderful and will help you with whatever you need. The facilities are very clean and well-maintained. The shower works well with hot water and the air conditioning works great. The shared refrigerator is convenient and clean. I was traveling alone and got very sick, and the girls took personal care of me. They checked on me frequently, offered to take me to the hospital, and even picked up my laundry for me. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again. It is the perfect place to stay!

Chris, the host, was awesome! Organized tours and ferries for our trips to the next islands!

Yevgeniya, United States of America

We really liked our stay at Dolphin House. It is situated within easy reach of everything. Christian, on the front desk, was really friendly and helpful. The large terrace outside the room had a fantastic view of the bay (and a hammock!) and the room was clean and spacious. The wifi in the room worked sporadically if at all but the hub in the reception area had a much better signal. To be fair wifi signals in most of the places we ate were also sporadic. Would DEFINITELY recommend staying here, rent a room on the top floor and enjoy the view!

Rosa, United Kingdom

The location was perfect. You could walk to the Malecón/muelle, visit the local souvenir stores, tour locations, or just enjoy the pier and sea lions all around the area. And I highly recommend a one on one tour with LAURO, (ask Chris at the front desk), he gave us a private tour, explaining with details, not only the places we visited, but about the history of the island, the animals, plants and way of life in the island. Very polite and knowledgeable man.

The only downside really was that they required cash to pay for our stay. We were not expecting that as we were able to put our deposit using a credit card. Otherwise, there were mosquitoes that could get in and out of the room. Pretty standard for any tropical destination but still annoying.

The room got prety bright when the sun came up; a little darker curtains would have been better. But eye shades worked too...
I had a great room, close to the top floor terrace, with a great view. When it was quiet, I could hear the sea lions in the distance, which was exactly what I wanted on the Galapagos Islands. Also, the staff was really nice and helpfull.

Photos of the roof terrace suggest that it's available to all guests when in fact, it's right outside 2 guest rooms and is awkward for those not staying in those particular rooms to hang out there. We would have appreciated a comfortable common space.

- Internet is bad, but that seems to be an issue in all the islands and not the fault of the hostel. I changed the hostel, but the internet connection wasn't better. In general, internet works better in the morning than in the evening. The strange thing is, the wifi signal is good, but the connection to the internet just doesn't work. And in general, websites like WhatsApp, Facebook, Google work better than others. I'm not sure what the reason for this problem is. I was once in a travel agency and the guy had good internet. He explained that was because he had set the router up directly above him. - No kitchen. There is a kitchen, but it's the family kitchen. - This is Southamerica and in general it's always a bit louder (dogs will bark at night and people will accept that). It's not an issue that is only occurring at this hostel, but be prepared for that and bring ear plugs with you.
- Christian the owner of the hostal will give you a great introduction to San Cristobal (what can you do in San Cristobal, where is everything interesting located, what tours you can do, etc) and he will help you with anything. He was the one who gave me the best introduction to a place during my whole trip. - Free water - I got the room with the balcony and the hammocks (although, I rarely take advantage of balconies or gardens at my accommodation,it's nice to get something pretty or extra nice)
