Only $2 and 3minute taxi ride to downtown, this hotel wowed with its cleanliness, friendly staff, amazing free breakfast, free water jug, a couch to sit on and relax right outside every room and an amazing pool. Not to mention a great value!

We stayed here for 3 nights and everything was great. The room was spacious and clean, the pool and jacuzzi area were always clean with towels. They had a nice breakfast in the mornings. There are 2 mini markets nearby for your essentials, and its a short taxi ride to town. Oscar and Ronal were very attentive in helping me book a tour, give recommendations of places to eat and even help me book a ferry on my last day. Overall, I would 100% recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Staff was very helpful. Simple boutique hotel with clean, modern rooms. Wonderful breakfast daily. Highly recommend. Located on the edge of town but only $2 taxi or 20 minute downhill walk to central area of town. Other amenities - assistance with tours, pool, hot tub, bottled water on each floor, fridge in room, evening coffee and tea.

The staff were helpful, friendly and caring. Breakfast was just right, we definitely made use of that amenity. The rooms were very basic but must say very clean with good enough space for our family.

We are extending our stay by one day. Excellent hotel if you are prepared for the 25 minute walk to the dock Charles Darwin Ave. It is USD2 per taxi otherwise.

Friendly staff, very nice service, clean room, different fresh made breakfast every day. Hotel itself was very good and worth the stay even though it was in a bit of outskirt of the main town. For VIP access we meant to receive free airport transfer and room upgrade if available but didn’t receive it. Hotels.com displayed incorrect information and the hotel itself couldn’t assist with that.

Great 2-bed room with 2 bathrooms .. perfect for our family of 4 especially with early starts every day. Their staff was kind enough to pack us a breakfast each day too. The hotel is a good 30 min walk from the main downtown area so you will need a cab to move around.
