    Easy going staff, excellent services, and magnificent location close enough to the port and the buses, the Galapagos, and the pier and the 5 $ food kiosk Calle. Tidy and comfy room, particularly good bathroom. Climate control and a writing table were nice. Really great overall experience.

    The staff was hard-working in managing every request. the location of the hotel was the best possible and comfy, at a moderate distance from Santa Cruz Fish Market. - the place was a walk from a bus stop.

    I stayed here 3 nights and liked it. The location was best possible and convenient, not too far away from Piazza del Duomo. Visited few places in the centre, just a pleasant stroll away from the hotel;))

    The room was a nice size and included a kettle and free water. Smoke detectors were provided for guests' safety. the location was very central, within a 10-15 minute walk from Laguna las Ninfas. Close proximity to all facilities, a $5 food kiosk on Calle, and a bike rental shop. Paid $24 for the room.

    The air-conditioned rooms were a welcoming oasis in the heat of Puerto Ayora. I felt like I was transported to the North Pole, with cool air enveloping me like a gentle snowfall.

    Shelf in cupboard broken.

    The hostal was a great base for sightseeing in Puerto Ayora and we had so much fun. Having breakfast included in the price was a definite plus. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the room was impeccably clean. The staff were friendly and attentive. we had a great time at Hostal Darwin B&B. It was the perfect place to explore Puerto Ayora from, with comfortable beds and a clean room. The fact that breakfast was included in the price was a great bonus, and the staff were always friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay.

    The location of the hotel is fantastic. It is within walking distance of the inter island water ferry, a great ice cream place, and a good selection of nearby restaurants. Additionally, the breakfast provided at the hotel was very nice and reasonably priced. The value for money was excellent.
