This was a great, quaint hotel that was very close to everything but quiet at night. The couple that owns it took great care of us but they do not speak English so be prepared for this. If I ever return I will definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for 5 nights. Breakfast was delicious each morning, Dennis and Lourdes were fabulous hosts. The swimming pool was the perfect temperature to cool off in after a day exploring. Restaurants nearby, Darwin Research centre super close. Very quiet and enjoyable stay. Would return!

We really enjoyed our stay at Maidith Galapagos Inn. Hotel was spotless, room had comfortable beds, lots of space, a large dresser and daily breakfast was excellent. The owner/manager, Juan Carlos, gave great information and recommendations for tours and restaurants. He helped with bookings and saved us time and money on both tours. Lourdes was a wonderful cook and maid with a welcoming smile. Will recommend to friends and plan to return again.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel. All the spaces were immaculately clean and beautifully decorated.. Breakfast was fantastic with many choices! It was a great start to the day. Breakfast smiles and laughs. Juan Carlos the general manager and true gentleman took the time to give us good information on everything from tours to restaurants. He definitely pays attention to detail. Thank you Juan Carlos for making our trip memorable. Your kindness was much appreciated.
