The Hotel Galapagos Dreams was my base for much of my stay on the Galapagos Islands. The rooms were basic, but comfortable, and the morning breakfast was always good. It was perfectly located, a short walk from the center of Puerto Ayora, where all the restaurants, shops (and misc sea lions laying around) can be found. There is a tour agency that's part of the hotel, and they are super helpful to arrange any tours you want to take, even to the other islands. They also rent pedal bikes there, if you want to get around to a few of the places around town a bit faster. I was very happy I chose Galapagos Dreams to make my Galapagos vacatin a special one.

Excellent host and highly recommend! We are a family with kids therefore needed additional space and comfort, GD provided great service, good breakfast, clean, and close to many options like the beach, port, food, bakery and mini market nearby. Will say here again.

It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel! Just off the main *****, it was nice and quiet. Convenient to everything and well appointed. We even had a mini fridge in our room, which is uncommon in Ecuador from our experience. They gave us a yummy fresh juice when we showed up and the common areas are so nice. We arranged transport to the airport and weren’t aware the person was going to escort us the whole way to the flight counter. A simple miscommunication on our part. You can probably handle just having a taxi to the port and manage the rest of the way on your own.

We stayed for one night at this property and everything was great! The room was well appointed and even had a mini fridge. We were given delicious juice upon arrival. Water pressure was great. Their common areas/bar are really cool and this is a unique and fun property. We will be back!

Galapagos Dreams is a very friendly place to stay with clean rooms and excellent service. Nice breakfast and FREE coffee and water all day. The lunch and dinner were great and very cheap for Galapagos. Only $6:00 The internet on the Galapagos was bad at this time, very slow. Not the fault of the Hotel. I would definitely recommend Galapagos Dreams

I can’t say enough about Jonathan, the proprietor at Galapagos Dreams. He worked with our trip guide from Ecuador Eco Adventure (a great guide service) for my daughter and I in the Galapagos that was wonderful. He was unfailingly attentive, responsive, and available for our questions and itinerary changes. He took care of all transfers, tour fees, diving fees, and even taxis. We felt very well taken care of and enjoyed it immensely. Met great people at the hotel. Wonderful staff.

This property was awesome for a stay and we wish we would have been able to stay longer. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable. The little kitchen area was a wonderful amenity in the room and the 2nd sink was so handy to have for 3 adults sharing a room. The staff was super friendly and even made us to go breakfasts the minute they arrived since our ferry was leaving at the exact time breakfast officially started. It was a perfect stay! My only complaint was that we were not there longer!

This was our fourth hotel/hostel of our trip and by far the best one so far! It was spacious, had a couch, and a small kitchen area which was awesome for the 2nd sink alone in a room for 3 adults to be sharing. There was storage for unpacking luggage and it was super comfortable. Our ferry left at the time breakfast normally starts but they made us to-go breakfast sandwiches the minute they arrived in the morning so we didn't miss out. They were delicious and just what we needed! The location is a little off the main area, but with easy access to everything and still completely walkable. We walked from the pier to the hotel and back again, with luggage and with no issue. My only complaint was that we had only booked ourselves for one night - we should have stayed longer.

We stayed at Dreams for three weeks while volunteering for a project in Puerto Ayora. The location is great, in a quiet street just a minute’s walk from the seafront and shops and restaurants. This is not a luxury hotel and rooms are basic but the rooms and public areas were kept extremely clean, fresh towels were available daily and there was free tea/coffee and fresh water available all day. Jonathan the owner was friendly and helpful and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Some Spanish helps as most of the staff have limited English. Would definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to make a return visit to the amazing Galápagos Islands.
