    Expensive for the 1 night we had there.

    Room was clean and a good size. The location was a short walk to the main area but in a quiet street. The women who owns the properties was helpful and assisted us with a cab to the boats for the airport.

    - Wish to have big mirror in the room. Otherwise, considering price/quality, nothing to complain about.

    - Location - Drinking water dispenser - Kitchen - Cleanness - The owner Elena was very helpful.

    The bathroom was separated from the room by a wall that wasn't full height and had no door. This does seem to be often the way in the Galapagos! It was the fashion once, but it isn't ideal.

    Really nice quirky place, big room

    The kitchen facilities are very limited. Just as the large majority of hotels in Ecuador this hotel is also located right on the street, implying quite a lot of traffic noise. The iron chairs on our terrace were nice but uncomfortable. The hotel is relatively expensive, the cost-benefit balance is critical in terms of comfort and facilities.

    Very friendly and helpful host. Cozy hotel, good location a few minutes walk from the port and a supermarket and in front of Las Nymfas. We liked the nice ornaments, the flowers, and the shaded terrace in front of our room.

    As the room was fully glassed on two sides and on a corner, there was a fair amount of traffic noise. I think some of the rooms with fewer windows would be quieter. Cute breakfast table on the balcony.

    Nicely decorated king room with a small kitchenette. Overlooked green space and a park.

    Casa del lago is a very comfortable & cozy place to stay in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz. The rooms are very cozy and well decorated and have very nice terraces to relax in the evening. The beds are comfortable. The place is very well located from walking distance from the port and from a big supermarket (proinsular). Elena is extremely welcoming, available and helpful. It was a pleasure to be her guest ! I highly recommend this place for any stay in Puerto Ayora.

    Nothing.

    What an amazing gem of a place!! We felt so fortunate to have booked this as it certainly seemed to be one of the nicest in town. I loved that they had hot and cold filtered water available and a clothes line and outside space on a little pretty deck covered in flowers. The location was ideal. Short walk to anywhere in town. Proprietor was very helpful and we very much enjoyed the tours and transportation that she arranged for us. It was so relaxing for us to be able to book once we arrived rather than way ahead. It was also much better value than booking ahead, which we were very thankful for.

    The inside is old and tired, the fridge is rusty inside and out, Internet come and goes, at its best it's poor, breakfast is very basic.

    The outside looks cute and colourful with lots of plants and Camila was very helpful. location is good and it has a little terrace outside the room.
