Located very close to the harbour we chose the hotel for an overnight stay to facilitate an evening arrival by ferry from one of the islands and the early morning ferry to another the following day. A previous stay, a couple of years ago, had been disappointing, but it best served our purpose this time around so booked anyway.
I am glad to report that the negatives found during our previous trip have been turned into positives. English speaking receptionist, assistance with luggage and a great breakfast served in time to catch the morning ferry. Fast check in and out - all just what we booked with no issues - great location for fast access to the ferries without the need for a taxis and of course being located close to the harbour, well located for shops and restaurants for evening entertainment.

My colleagues and I stayed at Hotel Ninfa for 2 weeks for a training that we were hosting. The hotel staff were super helpful in assisting us in every way. Myra and Sara in the restaurant were so kind and attentive and we really felt looked after whilst we were there. It is super central and is a short walk into town. We would definitely recommend Hotel Ninfa to travellers visiting Puerto Ayora.

A friend and I stayed at the Ninfa for 3 nights. We found the hotel to be clean and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the outside courtyard area that had a bar and pool, and hung out there at the end of the day. Bartenders Jesus and Andre made good margaritas and G&Ts, something we found to be a rarity in the islands. Front desk staff were polite and helpful. We stayed in one of the 2nd floor balcony rooms that over looked the pool area. Bring a portable clothesline if you want to dry your stuff after a day on the water.

We had an unbooked open night at the end of our trip and liked the Ninfa well enough to book our last night there, as well.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience at the Ninfa Hotel! We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, finding our hotel to be clean and welcoming. It's fantastic to know that our outdoor courtyard with its bar and pool provided you with a perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day. Hearing that our bartenders, Jesus and Andre, delivered excellent margaritas and G&Ts that stood out during your time in the islands brings us great joy. We're also glad that our front desk staff made a positive impression with their polite and helpful service. It sounds like your choice of one of our 2nd-floor balcony rooms overlooking the pool area added a special touch to your stay. Your tip about bringing a portable clothesline for drying items after a day out on the water is much appreciated and will surely be helpful to future guests. We're honored that you chose to spend your last night with us after an unplanned open night in your itinerary. It’s a testament to your experience, and we couldn't be happier to have been able to accommodate you once more. We look forward to welcoming you and your friend back to the Ninfa Hotel in the future for another memorable stay. Thank you for choosing us again, and for taking the time to share your feedback!

Very convenient location a block away from the Main Street and pier that takes you on day trips (ferry pier only a little further away) Large clean room. Cleaners come every day with new towels. Hot tub is great but you have to ask them to turn it on and they only do it in afternoon. Breakfast was great Los of options. Staff was friendly.

The Ninfa in Puerto Ayora is an okay place to stay. The rooms are very simple and a bit dirty, with many bugs. The breakfast was not very good, and the service was not very friendly. The location is quite good because it’s close to the harbor. However, there are better alternatives in the area. Overall, it’s not the best choice, but it can be fine if you don’t expect too much.

This hotel is conveniently located, near shops, restaurants, the marina, everything!
The rooms were clean, delicious breakfast variety, pool and jacuzzi very clean.
The staff is superb! Off the charts! We had a 6am departure and they were able to accommodate our breakfast. They helped us hanging to dry our wetsuits. Very family friendly.
We did not utilize the laundry service, but there was availability if needed.
If we ever return, we will definitely stay here again!

I picked this hotel b/c its proximity to the waterfront. The rooms are clean and they provide you with whatever essentials you need. I was tucked away in the back and i preferred it that way. The front desk staff were very helpful. The breakfast food was really good.

Nice location close to grocery stores and the port along with dining options. Nice room and shower with a decent pool and hot tub. The only negative things are the Wi-Fi isn't very good and barely worked in the room ( a common problem here) and they play music at the pool right outside my room starting at 6 am to ten pm. Good thing I needed to be up anyway.

Answer from ColDaveHarbour

Sorry, Sandy, I don't remember the times. However, I do have this tip for you. The Ninfa owner knows the times and you can Skype the hotel to ask questions like this or wait until you arrive. My only suggestion is to leave a good two hours before the ferry, because I did that and arrived just in time. Another thing is that I was a little shocked at the distance between the ferry and the Hotel. Seems like it was about a 35 minute ride, so be prepared for that. Have a blast; it was for my son and me one of the best trips ever!!! Dave
