Note that this review is based on a father and 5yr old son travelling in the Galapagos Islands. We booked several nights here and it was one of the best choices we made. The hosts helped us on numerous occasions with advice, guidance, collected us from the ferry, and booked our taxi for the airport. The room provided was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable and firm which was just what we needed upon our return from our daily tours. It is not far from the seafront and main street. There is a laundry on the corner, which was very convenient, and a lot of local shops, and nice cafes down the road. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful hotel just 10-15 minutes away from the port and all the shopping and restaurants. The room was very clean and the staff was very attentive. We got complimentary water and coffee in the lobby. The rooms are quiet, have air conditioning and the staff speak English.

Good option
Staff was amazing. Very helpful and wanted to make sure your needs were met. Always hot showers and good working air conditioning. Appreciated the water in the lobby to refill bottles and they even put a jug in each room too. Location was a bit outside the central area but we always walked it, even in dark and it was safe. It was only like a 10 - 15 minute walk. We took a cab from the ferry with our luggage and it was only $2. They booked us a cab to go to the airport ferry for us. Very prompt in responding to emails and I had a lot of questions so very patient too!

Great place to stay.
The hotel is in a nice quiet residential neighborhood, yet very walkable to restaurants and shops. The wifi was fast and dependable. The bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning worked well which was welcome each day after a day out. We chose not to spend the additional $8 a day for breakfast. The room was very clean! The staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing lacking was guidance on places worth visiting while on the island of Santa Cruz, although a recommendation was made by Julio for a travel agent we could contact. Overall, Hotel Palace is a great place to stay.

The hotel stuff are very friendly and helpful. It has been in short of water for two nights after a hot day (maybe a general issue in the island). They did try to help and provided a small bucket of drinking water for us to clean the face before the water came back in the morning. The hotel is clean and quiet. The breakfast is exceptional.

Jose was excellent, he helped us get taxis, accomodated us for early breakfast, answered numerous questions. We were able to walk to restaurants, but were not in the hustle of the main tourist section. I highly recommend this hotel

This is a lovely hotel, located close to the Charles Darwin Centre. Jose took great pride in personally serving freshly prepared breakfast to his guests. We could avail of free water in the foyer to refill our bottles. We were not very comfortable with the lack of privacy using the bathroom .... in our room, (Iguana) the bathroom wasn't a separate room to the bedroom

We highly recommend staying at this property for the charm, cleanliness, central location and, most importantly, the excellent hospitality. Our visit to Santa Cruz would not have been complete if we stayed anywhere else. Jose Miguel went over-and-beyond to ensure that we had the best possible time: custom-tailoring breakfast time our schedule and dietary needs, offering free bikes to ride around town, calling taxis personally on his WhatsApp. Truly, we are thankful to Jose Miguel and the team at Hotel Palace Galapagos.

A really lovely experience
The hotel is a lovely small hotel, conveniently located and our room was very comfortable. But the best part about the hotel is the wonderful service- from the time we arrived and the way we were warmly greeted we were made to feel special throughout our stay- right until the time we were put into a cab for our trip to the airport. We would highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect Home-Base in the Islands
I like small guest houses because of their attention to personal service and Hotel Palace Galapagos exceeded my expectations in many ways. The BEST breakfast ever -- always fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Staff was eager to accommodate any type of food allergy or aversion; in my case, vegan and they made it so easy with several courses every morning. They even made me a breakfast sandwich to take with me when my tour left before the regular breakfast began. My room was impeccably clean and the bed very comfortable. Hotel Palace Galapagos is perfectly located close to shops, restaurants, pier, and Darwin Research Center. All within walking distance. In addition, staff enthusiastically helped arrange ground transportation, tours, and ferry boat tickets; he also recommended wonderful restaurants with several vegan options. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. It is a lovely hotel, close to all kinds of activities, situated on a beautiful island with no hawkers. I strongly recommend Hotel Palace Galapagos as home-base in the Islands!
