Peaceful spot 2 blocks from the Main Street in Puerto Ayora with lovely staff and very nice breakfast. There are balconies with views of the ocean. The only downsides are the weak WiFi signal, which the staff say should be upgraded soon, and the fact that one side of our three person room was not ventilated at all. It gets hot at night.

Stayed here for 3 nights when we stayed on the island and had the best experience. Every staff Member was extremely helpful and the breakfast was top notch. This was the only hotel on our trip that changed up the breakfast each morning and it was delicious each time. The rooms were spacious and had cute balconies where you could enjoy a drink. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Would recommend to anyone traveling.

We had two rooms there for one night, booked through the tour agency, on our way to Isabela island. Very basic room, no frills, no amenities, no black out curtains, only cold water in the sink. In our room, there was no window covering on the patio door at all, so at night, with the light on in the room, everyone was able to see in. The building is very old and very tired. On the good side, the location is great and the management were very nice. Would not stay there again.

This is truly lovely hotel. We stayed 3 nights. The style is a fantastic mix of Gaudi with elements of Diego Rivera. We really enjoyed the layout and the architecture. We do not mind climbing 4 flights of winding narrow stairs to our room but it can be a major obstacle for some travelers. The room was spacious but basic. We had a pleasant balcony with chairs to sit. The room had no fridge or microwave or tea/ coffee station. Tea and coffee and hot and cold water were available downstairs in a lovely meeting cove. The bedding was a little hard but okay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was sufficient but nothing to write home about.
We were satisfied with our stay.

There is quite a bit of difference across the room options and we were lucky to get our own balcony and big windows. The room was clean and quiet but the bed was a bit too stiff. The breakfast buffet was fine and the staff were all very friendly. A few things that were not so great: no black out curtains, no coffee /tea maker in the room (standard in most hotels), and a horrid toilet situation under which no paper can be thrown in the WC. I know this latter issue is out of concern of the local sewage system but still: they should then install bidets in the bathroom.

The Mainao is a very pretty hotel near the city center and easy to get to. The complex is very tastefully designed, but there are stairs everywhere.
The rooms are nice and spacious, but have a very small bathroom with no storage space.
The breakfast was OK, but it was prepared so that I had a slice of ham left over every morning - not very sustainable.
I also like to be able to choose what I want to eat at breakfast.
The staff were friendly.

The room is basic. I would go as far to say it’s a little depressing and it smells damp. I think it’s clean enough but appears ‘grubby’ and ‘outdated’ as other travellers have described it. The room does not have any personal touches, it is just a place to sleep. Not what I was expecting.

Stayed here 1 night. Location of this hotel was great. Not far from the centre of town but still on a quieter street. The room size was decent. Room was clean and the stay comfortable. Breakfast and service were was great too.

A local volunteer coordinator connected us to this unique little hostel. The name hostel is not really appropriate, since rooms contain one to three beds. Each room has its own full bath, including hot water.

The location is convenient, one block off the water, near the center of this small town. There is a lovely courtyard, interesting architecture, and real charm. Rooms are clean and well appointed in local furniture. All seemed safe and secure. Each morning a simple but fine breakfast and hot coffee were served by a cooperative staff.

We were in Puerto Ayora in the cool season, so the lack of AC may be a problem in the hottest months. However, the rooms were well ventilated through large, attractive windows. Don´t expect any language other than Spanish.

While this is no resort, the price is excellent for this convenient, well-serviced hostel/hotel - a real value.
