Lock in a great price for Hostal España – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

The employees at the desk (one gentleman in particular) were extremely helpful. Not everyone at the desk spoke English, but the same person who was there in the evenings did and was helpful each time I asked questions about transportation and local sights. I also liked that there was a kitchen that guests had access to and the fact that the property & rooms were sparkling clean (except for the kitchen) and that the public reception area was huge and comfortable.

Donya, United States of America

Really easy walk to catch the ferries to the other islands! Many restaurants near by. A lot of shops including souvenirs, mini tour and tour companies. Also they stored our luggage which was appreciated!

Paige, United States of America

Front reception was extremely helpful, kind and helpful. The room was clean.

Lale, Turkey

The service was excellent and it was always very clean.

Marisabel, United States of America

This hotel is in a great location close to the pier, w/in walking distance to local sightseeing places (ie Tortuga Bay and CDR), restaurants and shops on the island.

Jeri-marie, United States of America

Close to everything in the town. No noise from the street.

Andy, Japan

The staff was very friendly and speaked English very well. The young man at the reception helped us to find a tour to island Isabela at reasonable prize. The hotel is in the center of the city and very near to the Darwin center.

Zdravka, Bulgaria

Great location- close to food, shops and the pier. Nice size room, decent beds, okay bathroom. This is a bare bones hotel that offers you a cheap option to sleep in. I would stay here again if I could not find a better deal on a little nicer hotel. Decent bare bones budget hotel. Some of the staff speak a little English. If you don't speak some Spanish- this is probably not the hotel for you.

Robert, United States of America

Visiting the islands, tour guides were great (La Espanola, and Shark II); both tours done through Galapagos Deep which were recommended by Hotel Espana.

Otto, United States of America

The room was huge. We booked a room for 3 people yet it had 5 beds in it for us to use. The bathroom was large as well. The common areas were very nice to lounge around, and they offered a kitchen free to use along with drinking water. The staff was really friendly and accommodating and permitted a late checkout.

Aly, Ecuador

“We stayed here on two spectate occasions- our room on the right half of the hotel was much nicer. Bigger, more airy and a quiet air con. Location was amazing bang in the centre of town, lots of cafe's for breakfast options as the hotel didn't offer any. It also had a water filter to re fill bottles.”

“Great hotel to stay at in Peurto Ayora”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Spotty wifi and its availability in the lobby only. However, Daniel told us this upfront and the fact it was not just at their hotel but the island overall. This was nice of him to inform us so it lessened our frustration of not having easy access to wifi as we're used to back home in the states.
눇This hotel is in a great location close to the pier, w/in walking distance to local sightseeing places (ie Tortuga Bay & CDR), restaurants and shops on the island. Daniel was the manager on duty when we checked in and was very helpful as well as thoughtful. After seeing one of the person in our group was elderly, he mentioned he had them booked in a room on the 3rd floor (w/no elevators) but he could move them to a 1st floor room. He showed them both rooms to let them decide which would be better for them. They elected to keep the 3rd floor room so he carried their luggage up for them. Upon returning to their room after dinner, the smoke alarm was chirping in their room. My friend went down to the front desk and told Daniel. He got his ladder and went up to their room to fix the alarm right away. Also, during check-in Daniel gave us suggestions for restaurants and breakfast places for the next day since their kitchen was currently under renovations. We told Daniel what we had planned for the few days on this island and he brought us to their island map to show us how to get to each place. We appreciate and thank Daniel for the great customer services he provided to us during our stay at this hotel.

눉The wifi was pretty slow and only available in the downstairs lounge, but this was pretty typical of everywhere we stayed. It wasn't a big deal though - we weren't there just surf the internet after all.
눇Great area and wonderful staff! Very safe and clean and the hammocks downstairs were great for relaxing in after a long day of adventuring!

눉The wifi literally didn't work for Watsapp or other communications, the hotel can only call landlines so I had to continually ask to borrow locals mobiles to contact my tours on the island. Shower temperature fluctuated between boiling hot and freezing cold.
