This property was awesome for a stay and we wish we would have been able to stay longer. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable. The little kitchen area was a wonderful amenity in the room and the 2nd sink was so handy to have for 3 adults sharing a room. The staff was super friendly and even made us to go breakfasts the minute they arrived since our ferry was leaving at the exact time breakfast officially started. It was a perfect stay! My only complaint was that we were not there longer!
Nice hostel within walking distance of the Main Street. Super tour coordinator- Jonathan.

Lovely little spot with lovely staff.
I will say: between rain on the various metal and plexiglass surfaces, guests getting up at 6am, and in general lots of activity in the dining area early in the morning and into the evening, I didn't sleep great. It's noisy.
Good value for the price. Food was great, staff were awesome and helpful. There are different parts to the hotel/hostal. My room was above lobby and next to patio. Heard later night and early morning noises as thin walls to those rooms. When booking their $30 pickup fee from the airport - be aware you also need to buy a $5 ticket from the airport to south wnd of Baltra and a $1 fee to cross on the ferry.
Galapagos Dreams is a total scam. The hotel is filthy and disgusting. The rooms have bugs crawling around and the beds are hard as rocks and only twin mattresses pushed together. There is NO POOL and the WIFI is unusable!
