El Barranco Galapagos is a fantastic hotel! Breakfasts were delicious the staff friendly and accommodating, the location excellent for dining shopping and access to tours from the wharf. Our maid even did our laundry! We stayed in the family cabin which included a kitchen 4 bedrooms a hot tub and its own patio. It was spotless! We hated to leave!

We booked for a 2 bed, 2 adult and a child, and got 3 double beds in a huge room on the top floor, room 312. The pool is heated and nice, and the adjacent hot tub is super nice! The staff are super accommodating! When all my 7yo wanted was instant noodles for dinner, they took the package from us and made it for her. Breakfast has a nice spread, and they will cook eggs, waffles or pancakes upon request. Will accommodate allergies. Only 1/2 block away from the main pier. Central to shops and restaurants. Front desk hosts Brenda and Kim are super nice! Actually everyone in that hotel are nice. Zero complaints, only our appreciation for a great stay.

Beautiful new hotel at central location with comfy room and beds, and very nice swimming pool from where you can watch boats and animals on the channel. Super friendly staff and nice varied breakfast (although don’t be the last one to eat as you might not find much left after other hungry guests).

What stands out most about the hotel: the location makes it easy to walk to restaurants and shops or to grab a water taxi at the pier, the breakfast is delicious, our room was spacious and immaculate, the beds were super comfortable, the pool is wonderful to relax by and watch turtles, sharks and sea lions swim by. We loved our time there.

The hotel was amazing. The rooms are super clean, the staff were beyond helpful, and the breakfast was second to none. It was also a very quiet hotel right off the main street. It was about a 100-meter walk from the docks where you arrive on the island. The hotel was extremely reasonably priced. Additionally, the laundry service's turnaround time was excellent! Thanks!

This place is amazing!!! The staff was great and the amenities are top! The hot tub is open all day! Breakfast was the best I’ve had in a hotel. We will definitely recommend it to friends. We stayed at the dock house and it was unbelievable, just make sure the propane tank for the hot tub is connected when you are checking in so when you are ready to use it, you can get it going no problem … otherwise dock house is the best
