Hostal Gosén

8/10 Good
"Pros: Comfy beds, delicious breakfast, lovely rooftop and garden lounge space, snorkel equipment and bikes for rent, great location. There was no hot water in my shower when I first arrived, Angel came and fixed it right away. Cons: I was in the room right across from the kitchen and it can be a bit noisy as there isn't much sound proofing."

8/10 Good
"The room is nice and clean and has good air conditioning and hot water. Location is excellent. The only bad experience I had wasn’t with the hotel itself but with the agency they use for guest accommodations. I contacted them about airport transport and was told to message their agency SUP Tours. They tried to charge $35 for a $3 taxi ride. When I told them this was very expensive I was sent a long disrespectful reply telling me I shouldn’t visit the Galapagos if I don’t have the budget for it. Completely unacceptable."

"The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, particularly Max. The hotel was clean and I enjoyed the top deck balcony. It's in a great location across from the main pier with a handy mini mart next door. The hotel provides breakfast to go if you have a day trip and filtered water on premises for use which I thought was a great offer."
