This property has character and some charm. The owner went above and beyond to help us arrange transportation, book tours, and assist with our luggage, which made our stay much easier and more enjoyable. The breakfast was simple but thoughtfully prepared and very tasty. Overall, we loved the experience. The staff were the true highlight of our stay—warm, attentive, and always willing to help.

Nico the manager/receptionist/concierge was great. He was very welcoming when we arrived. He already had the beds arraigned for our unique sleeping requirements. He facilitated transportation to our tours and generally made the stay remarkable. The hotel itself was immaculate, everything was clean and sparkling. Though small the hotel had everything we needed and was located far enough from the main thoroughfare to eliminate noise but close enough to be convenient. Overall a great stay at a nice friendly hotel to enhance our Galapagos vacation.

We had a wonderful stay and everything was perfect. The breakfast was excellent every morning, and the accommodation was comfortable and welcoming. A special thank you goes to Nico, who was an outstanding host. He was always available to help, gave great advice, and supported us in every situation. We even had an accident during our trip, and Nico went above and beyond to assist us and make sure everything was taken care of. His kindness and support made a huge difference. We highly recommend staying here and would gladly come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Niko and his staff were VERY helpful and kind. They made breakfast from scratch every morning. If you couldn’t make breakfast due to a tour, you just had to tell him and he’d make a box lunch instead. He also gave us recommendations for places to eat and his phone number if needed. The Maidith was very clean and decorated in a way that made it feel like home away from home. Thank you, Niko and your Staff! We appreciate you!

The hotel is just like the pictures. It’s close to the Darwin Center and we were able to walk everywhere. The owners could not do enough for us and SO kind and friendly. The breakfast was unbelievable. There was fresh fruit everyday with yogurt and granola, juice, unlimited coffee and something homemade each morning. One day we had the best empanadas we had ever had! We would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat! Thanks guys for making our stay so enjoyable:)

Highly recommend! Nico is the grandson of the owner and currently running the inn. He was so lovely, kind & helpful. He's been on all the tours himself to be able to make the best recommendations and was so great in helping us get our plans reaaranged after we missed out on a day due to not realizing we needed to pre-purchase a TCT card before our fight to the Galapagos (hopefully this note can help others not make the same mistake!). He walked us around the town, went above & beyond in making gluten free accomodations for breakfast and our daily boxed lunch (so cute), and greeted us with a bottle of cold wine when we got in. I hope this family-run inn continues for a long long time.
