Hotel Deja Vu

Room 21 was great - it is the "accessible" room which we didn't need but was convenient bc no stairs, near Office and huge- hadTV, fridge and nice sitting area. Staff very friendly- really 3 star by Western standards but we are a little over the top in the US. Only minor issues were lack of hand towels and conditioner. They DID have washcloths! 12yo son enjoyed playing basketball and the playground in the park next door. Very convenient to Darwin Center which has two nice beaches. Make sure you have a $5 lunch (drink included) at the Plaza Eden restaurant in the park. It was beautiful to observe Catholic Church services on Wednesday evening there.

Our room (18) was quite spacious and the AC worked well and felt great after a day in the heat and humidity! Be aware there are stairs and no elevator to the upper level rooms. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served, not buffet, and was quite filling. Location is about a 10 minute walk from the main pier, and there are lots of restaurants and shops along the way. The hotel is very close to the Charles Darwin Research Station that’s worth visiting to see the giant tortoise nursery and learning more about these amazing creatures. Also very close to public beaches, though we preferred the pool at the hotel. A good stay for us! We would return.

We loved our stay at fhe Deja Vu Hotel in Santa Cruz, Galapagos. The staff was wonderful. Breakfast was great. They arranged transportation for us. It is a short walk to restaurants and shops, yet in a quiet neighborhood.

The staff was really great. The breakfast was real good. No complaints we would stay there again.

Not a bad hotel - just not a particularly good one either! The location is reasonable - and easy walk to shopping, restaurants, waterfront, etc. Maybe 15 mins to the main harbour. Puerto Ayora is a bustling little town with a nice atmosphere, despite all the tourists. The pool looked rather nice. Staff were friendly. There's free filter water in reception. Stopped 4 nights in total, spread out over 2 visits. Was first offered Room 1 - which reminded me so much of a dungeon, that I had to ask to move. My other rooms were on the 3rd floor and so much better - more spacious, cleaner, with windows and a view. There's no lift and the stairs are a bit uneven, so mind how you go. The upstairs rooms had comfy beds, aircon, safe & hairdryer, some have balconies, warm shower. No kettle. Room 14 had an intermittent rumbling/buzzing noise - I think I worked it out to be every time someone else ran a tap or flushed a toilet. Or it could have been someone else's aircon. I used earplugs!

We stayed her for 2 nights on Santa Cruz. Nice rooms, packed breakfast was good and staff were very helpful. There was free water and it is within walking distance to town. We ate at the Galapagos deli while there (10 minute walk) and it was very good too!

All our interactions with the staff were pleasent however this hotel has some issues it needs to address. The hot water faucet in the shower is set so that even a turn of 1/2 inch can make it go from cold to scalding with nothing in between. It is not safe for children or the elderly. The fridge hadn't been cleaned and smelled very bad. There is no way we would have actually put food in it. The heating and air conditioning unit was not calibrated properly so the settings we put it on were not the ones it ran at. There was also a weird whining sound. There is little sound proofing so we could clearly hear the people in the room above us. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was decent.

excellent service, the staff is very friendly 🙂 good location, you can walk to the main street

Room had no Wi-Fi, no hot water and a broken hairdryer. Other people in my group had weak Wi-Fi but no other issues. Staff was not helpful
