The Royal Galapagos inn is very nice, but apart from a great breakfast, it offers very little beyond what other places in town offer for slightly less than half the price. Most disappointing are the showers, where hot water is a trickle at best, and control of water temperature (which keeps changing without you touching the taps) is impossible The rooms are large and clean with no amenities, though the air conditioning works well, if you get a sea view, then the view is obviously great. Beds are not very comfortable. Breakfast is the high point, simple, but ample, with great fruits, horrible coffee, very good, fresh hot buns, and wonderful fruit juice together with scrambled egg and granola. The staff is friendly and helpful

The bed was quite comfy. A/c works great. Nice fruit & smoothie for breakfast. (They serve eggs, etc, I just don't eat that.) Very nice view of the water from the top. This hotel is so easily walkable to the 2 nearby beaches (highly recommend the far one w rocks - saw a octopus!) & to "town". Frankly perfectly located! Not fancy but WELL worth the money & I would stay there again! The property is under major renovations - it will likely be very nice when finished but not that attractive at this time. However, they were not working & making noise when I was there. I was told they will have a pool. (I like to be as accurate as possible - even though the owner asked me to give 5s all the way across - I reserve that for luxury type places. But this places is so worth the money!)

The owner is super nice and super friendly. Gave us plenty of tips and advice. 3 minute walk to el malecón which is all but stores and restaurants. Breakfast included fresh cut fruits, fresh juice, fresh coffee, warm bread rolls, scrambled eggs, butter and jam. If we ever go back to the Galapagos, this is where we will stay.

Honest review! Could have been three or four stars but owner tried to screw us around. Travelling with my wife, three-year-old and Mom. Booked a three bed room, and even called a month earlier to clarify for sure the booking was for a room with three beds and he said yes. After paying for the room, where he seemed to not know how to use his credit card machine (telling me that he uses the tap function for $1000 transactions)…… and I had to help him by showing him how to insert the card??? Should’ve been the first hint….. He took us up to the room, opened the door, put some of our luggage in there and showed me the room with two beds….. I said to him, we are supposed to have three beds, and he responded, and I quote “you can accommodate can’t you”…… and he went on to say it’s not that big of a deal. I couldn’t even believe it….. after he charged us for our triple room price, which was substantially more than the double room. I said to him, you charged us for a three bed room, that is what we paid for, we will NOT accommodate for you. After he saw that we would not accommodate his request he showed us the room next to it, which was ready to go and had three beds and was much bigger! He completely tried to give us the wrong room and resell the more expensive triple room, not cool! It was obvious to us that he had done this to others before and gotten away with it. Beware of this guy.

While we had a great stay at the Royal Galapagos, I would not book on Expedia again with them. Upon arrival they did not have our reservation written in their paper booking system and we had to have the front desk worker call the owner to discuss the problem. Luckily he spoke decent English and we could get to the bottom of it. They had an extra room or we may have been in a really tough situation. Overall, the property is very safe, breakfast was delicious, and it is convenient to everything you will need.

Hotel from hell.

Unfortunately it is a building site. I was ill in bed for 3 days. First two day contract angle grinder and gammer noise was on all day. On my complaint second day it was less. On top of the owner left the place unsupervised with the house keeper. She could not speak a word of english. All night corridor extremely bright light was left on. No one on site to address the issue as the house keeper left premises 7 pm. There was no one there till next day 6 am.

Take your business elsewhere

The manager made me move rooms to make room for incoming guests, even though I had booked for more nights. When i tried to decline he told me my other option was to leave and find another property. Very unprofessional. Also, after 3 nights i left a towel on the floor expecting it to be changed and instead they just hung the same towel up. There are lots of choices in San Cristobel. Anything is better than here.

Good location. Shame about the management.

My issue with this place was with the owner/manager. When i checked in he said "You must pay me immediately", which i think he thought was funny, but it came across as agressive and arrogant. I had booked the suite and based on the photos, the room had a hammock in front of the room. He took me to the top floor and there was no hammock and when i asked he said i didn't get one because i was on the top floor. I asked to move to a lower floor to have the hammock which he agreed to, and i did not ask for the difference in fare even though my rate was higher than what I traded for. I decided to stay on San Cristobel longer, so i extended my stay and he made me move rooms because someone had booked the room he had me in and he had to give them my room because they booked it based on the picture. When I said that I had booked a room based on the picture as well but didn't get what i booked and then in actuality paid more for less, he just shrugged like it was not his fault. No customer service skills whatsoever. I stayed for a week and he treated me horribly. I would never return nor recommend this property.

The view, the hammocks, & Eduardo

The views and Eduardo make the Royal Galapagos Inn wonderful! The location is prime—on the edge of town with a 2-minute walk to the center. Breakfast was great. If you're lucky, maybe Eduardo will make you some of his delicious yucca bread. Laying & swinging on the deck hammock was some of my relaxed moments in the Galapagos! Make sure to check out the views from the rooftop deck. I hope to be back!
