About the area

Located in Puerto Ayora, The Island Home is in the city centre and on a lake. While the natural beauty of Galápagos National Park and Tortuga Bay Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Las Grietas. Charles Darwin Research Station and Malecon are two other places to visit that come recommended. Snorkelling offers a great chance to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours, mountain biking and hiking/biking trails nearby.

Stay away from here

Owner was friendly and helpful but the hotel or B&B grossly overpriced! The neighborhood was away from the tourist area and the outside of the hotel was unappealing. The 10 minute walk to Darwin Street was in a poor section, an old mattress lying about. Breakfast was good. The reception area was poor. I have photos. Worth about $40 a night not the $110 l prepaid and could not cancel reservation

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
いくら物価が高いと言っても値段と設備が釣り合っていません。 天井近くだけの小窓しかない部屋で冷蔵庫なし、バスルームは多少広いですがあまり綺麗ではありません。 連泊なのにタオルの交換ありませんでした。 唯一プラスを見つけるなら、周囲がローカルエリアなので繁華街より商店やレストランの値段が安いことくらいでしょうか。
