Fantastic location, reasonably priced. No elevator but the front desk employee carried our bags up to our room and brought them back down when we left. Best part was access to the AC compressor area to dry all of our wet clothing and wetsuits in 1-2 hours before having to pack them into our suitcases. That alone would have me coming back to this hotel! Breakfast was very basic. Fruit, 2 eggs, white toast and coffee or tea with a lovely view of the harbor. Room was large and clean and quiet. AC worked great. Delightful town!

This was a very basic hotel and amenities where OK the gentleman who worked there was very nice to set up the Netflix and excellent people at the desk and helpful, but the property is very old and basic kind of room if you want to go by and spend less money to stay in town. It was convenient otherwise nothing much special.

Third floor breakfast was very limited not many choices and being a leisure traveler and staying at 5 to 7 star hotels this was just one night stay for us and thereafter we had excellent five-star Airbnb villa for seven days we enjoyed in San Cristobal. They can improve the property in the rooms in the room service and a vanity is with a very little cost and how the basic coffee maker in the room or the kettle to make coffee in the morning for basic traveler this is OK hotel.

Joshua was very good and helpful. The location is unbelievable in front of the sea. The room was clean (except the toilet that we had to clean it). Another issue was a very noisy water pump that started working around 3am. This and the terrible and basic breakfast were the only two things we recommend to improve. It’s unacceptable that for that price we got a bad coffee, 3 pieces of fruit, very bad white bread, small juice and 2 eggs. We had to had breakfast at another place.

We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Galapagos Hotel in San Cristóbal. The hotel is perfectly situated right at the port, offering a great balance of lively daytime activity while remaining quiet and peaceful at night—ideal for a good night’s sleep.

All of the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Max, Joshua, and Antonia were always ready to answer questions, offer guidance, or help arrange transportation, which made our stay feel easy and well supported.

Everything was immaculately clean, and we were very happy with our overall experience. We would absolutely recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again.

Short but comfortable stay here! The front desk was really helpful with arranging our boat tickets to Santa Cruz for the following day. Additionally, they came in early at 6am to help us with our bags, escorted us to the dock nearby, and packed a small bag of breakfast for us to have on the boat! We really appreciated that service!

Charming Hotel in the Heart of San Cristobal

The was amazing! Max and Susanna were wonderful hosts/front desk personnel. They were always helpful and spoke English very clearly which was also helpful. We were a little spoiled, and had the top room that had the terrace with an amazing view and access to the eating area next door. You could hear the sea lions outside, and the hotel was easily assessable to everything. It's literally across the street from the port/ferry. There's a little mini market next-door, which made things convenient and they provide filtered water on each floor of the hotel. The only downside was the stairs after a long day, but San Cristobal was so special and didn't really matter. The breakfast were also very good. They made to order eggs every morning and had fruit and yogurt. I will definitely stay there again!

Any excursions leaving on boats leave right out front of the hotel. The staff was amazing and speaks English perfect. Breakfast on the roof over looking the water was a great way to start the day. Don't forget the convent store right in the bottom of the hotel that has soft server ice cream. Could not say enough great things about this place.

Not recommended

A small hotel on the beach in an excellent location.
The room we got was large and spacious. It had everything we needed except the bathroom. There was no shelf to put things in and the angle of the shower floor was reversed.
Two significant problems with the hotel: Wi-Fi is very weak and often disconnects. There is none in the room and none in the small public area that there is.
We contacted the nice receptionist about it, but he was unable to fix it for a long time. We were in the hotel for about two days and most of the time inside. So it definitely works weakly and little. Unfortunately, I have read reviews in the past that complained about this and the hotel promised to take care of it. They didn't.
Another thing that needs improvement is the meager breakfast served. Omelette made to order, one type of cornflakes and 3 small pieces of fruit. No vegetables and no cheese. Anything else has to be requested and is unpleasant.
There wasn't even a fan. The place was so humid. It wasn't pleasant to sit there. I can't even imagine air conditioning.
A positive point is the free massage chair. I really enjoyed it!
In conclusion, in my opinion, the price (almost $190 per night) is not justified.

For the price of an average of USD 300 per night, room was rather pricey. Quality of housekeeping also needs improving. Found rather unpleasant dirt/hair in the bottle of handwash during my stay and room amenities (shower gel, shampoo) were evidently not cleaned for awhile. Bathroom is tiny even for 2 people. Lack of hanging space for clothes in the room. For rooms with balcony, apparently laundry drying rack can be provided on request. Would have been good if this was made known early on during check in. Hotel offers prime location to port and is close to dining options. Breakfast was a tad too basic. Box breakfast available on request.

Friendly staff and great location

Rooms are clean and Max (front desk) was exceptionally friendly. breakfast was very good. While rooms look clean and great on photos, living without extra space where to hang clothes makes room messy in reality. Why not add some extra hooks in the bathroom? Or near the door? Our luggage was always open and no plave where to put it. Also adding mirror in the room or outside shower is useful. We had one mirror in the bathroom and it was not convinient.

The front desk was very helpful, particularly Susana who answered our many questions and helped us set up a tour via taxi of the most popular spots in San Cristobal. Great location. Easy to get to restaurants and the pier. Plenty of fresh water right by the room (Room #4).

The only complaint was that some very small ants started appearing in our room on the second day. We found where they were entering (Room #4) in the back corner, and tried to use soap to dissuade them. Only helped a little. That's probably something housekeeping regularly guards against. But, we had asked for no housekeeping on our second day (wasn't needed in terms of towels or clean-up).

The positives outweighed the negatives. We enjoyed our time in San Cristobal.

Not worth the price

This hotel is overpriced and was a disappointment. I rented the penthouse for 2 nights. The penthouse wasn’t entirely clean and felt worn down. On the second night there was an electrical problem where lights and the tv would flicker on and off. After having to call for the hotel maintenance to come take a look they determined it was due to a single outlet. The front doorknob wouldn’t lock properly either. The water was cold (both the showers and the pool). Think twice before renting here as there are other options at the same price which will be a better option.

Wonderful hotel! Location was fantastic. The view of the ocean and harbor was great. We would love to stay here again, but I think this was the trip of our lifetime. I guess we did it right the first time. Thank You to the staff and owners.

Galapagos Sunset Hotel is an excellent hotel, located in Central Puerto Baquerizo Moreno next to the ocean and Malecon. It is operated to the highest standards of service at all levels, from Front Desk & Concierge to general guest support. Recently, my wife and I stayed there for five days. At the front desk, Erika and Juan Carlos went well above the expected level of service in helping us arrange various day trips, all excellent! The view of the ocean is un-paralleled; the rooftop breakfasts were delicious, and it may have been the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed at, which is no small feat being ocean-front and open-air. And all this was done with a charming smile and the impression that our experience was their most important goal. Thanks Sunset Galapagos! We hope to return someday, and you have our highest recommendation.

Hostile concierge

Pros:
Great location. The hotel is only a hundred feet away from the port and is close to all major restaurants and travel agencies. Airport is like 5 minutes away too.
Nice hardware. Hotel is only 3 yeas old, and are well maintained.
Good breakfast. The breakfast was up at the roof of the hotel and has beautiful view of the ocean

Cons:
Hostile concierges. The staffs were polite, but are definitely not friendly.The concierge charged us an extra $39/night on our son.My son is eight and no other hotels ever really asked fee for him. We just paid without saying anything.
Early checkout time. The checkout time is 10am. Our flight time is 1:30pm and we asked if we could check out an hour or two later so we don't have to haul our luggage around. The concierge (a lady, not the gentleman whom we first met) firmly said \"no\", even though the hotel is clearly not fully booked.
Room without windows. The room they gave us is the room in the middle of the building and has NO windows connected to outside. And they said we'd have to paid to get a room with outside windows.
Room with ants. We found several tiny ants in the room. But I don't feel they are of any harm.

Overall this is the only hotel we feel bad about it, mainly because of the attitude of the concierges. We'd have definitely chosen a different hotel.

Good central location.
Very modern, spotless room.
Rooms come with a small microwave and sink, which is potentially a useful addition (although we didn’t make use of it).

The team at Sunset Galápagos at fantastic! They helped make our stay one of the most memorable adventures of our lives.

The ocean view room is comfortable, with everything you need, and the view!

Breakfast in the morning is great. The even packed a box breakfast for our early morning boat trip.

Right is the center of town, on the waterfront, you can’t beat the service and location for the price.

Highly recommend!

Great! Would recommend.

Fantastic staff, most helpful and very friendly. Breakfast is good, room is comfortable. The balcony door doesn't lock, but I don't think its a real issue. The wifi is terrible, but I think this is for all of San Cristobal.
