Lava House is a little oasis within Puerto Ayora. The room was very clean, with soap, shampoo and conditioner provided in the bathroom. Lava House provides a very relaxed environment, where I felt I could unwind after adventuring around during the day. The breakfast service was particularly impressive and offered so much variety! The perfect start for a day of diving. And Lava was so cute!
Good value for money and not so expensive tours at hotels
The location is good, the staff are very friendly and everything you need in Galapagos can be rented, but you have to pay
Although the hotel is a three-star hotel, there is a swimming pool + bubble pool, there is a table tennis table, and the space atmosphere has a holiday feeling (although I stayed for 2 nights and didn't go to the bubble). The location of the hotel is in the pier residential area.
The room was small and the two boxes could not be opened. In front of each room, there was a simple wooden chair, but it was basically faded.
Breakfast is served per person, a bit slow. Starting at seven o'clock, everyone generally has to catch up with the eight-point day tour group, some are too late.
Unfortunately my experience was not nice at all. Of all hotels I had on the Galapagos Islands, it was not only the most expensive stay but also the worst in the price performance ratio. The only good was the lovely service. The rest was really very inappropriate for the price. Unfortunately, I still had the unfortunateness that water has passed into my room from the upper floor because the guests appeared to have brought everything over me. It was quickly resolved, that was super.
However, you see that the hotel has come in the years and the hotel room smells to fungus and muffy. Very bad ! I can't recommend any further for the price at all.
This was an absolutely fantastic place to stay.
The location was great, close to the pier, and there were cafes and restaurants within walking distance, so it wasn't inconvenient at all.
The room was spotlessly clean, and although we happened to be there during cleaning time, several staff members were meticulously cleaning it.
All the staff were smiling and friendly, and when we tried to check out early in the morning without prior notice, they packed breakfast for us right there and then.
