Our room was spotless. The floors were mopped everyday. All of the wildlife in the area was magical.

The rooms were big and well kept. The staff was awesome. The location was quiet and we could walk to the beach.
The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was clean. The bed was very uncomfortable in my opinion as a side sleeper. I woke up with aches in my shoulders and hips and had trouble sleeping at times. My partner sleeps on his back and didn’t mind but side sleepers beware! The mattress was very hard. The breakfast was really nice and it was nice to have the pool/outdoor space to sit sometimes. We never used the pool but we ate at the tables a few times. It’s in a good location as well, just a short walk to the main road with dining and shopping options on the way.
My room was clean! Within walking distance to almost everything I wanted to do. Breakfast was made fresh every day. The staff was extremely kind and helpful! My only complaint was the rooster that was nearby! Other than that it was quiet.
Clean and comfortable hotel with a small pool and hammocks in the outdoors area. Partial ocean view from higher rooms. Good breakfast included and kind staff.
Breakfast was served fresh - upon arrival to dining area, eggs and plantain were fried. Bun super fresh. Coffee delicious.
No ocean view, but pool was lovely to relax in after a long day exploring.
Young lady at Reception, Andrea, couldn't be more helpful. A pleasure to deal with. She arranged airport transfer for me. Also helped carry bags up to room.
If you're planning a trip to the Galápagos Islands and looking for a place that combines comfort, warmth, and great value, Verde Azul in Puerto Ayora checks every box.
Our room was spotless from the moment we arrived — fresh linens, a well-maintained bathroom, and everything neatly organized. After long days of exploring the islands, coming back to a clean, quiet room made a real difference. The property itself is well-kept and has a relaxed, natural feel that matches the Galápagos vibe perfectly.
The staff at Verde Azul genuinely go above and beyond. They were warm, helpful, and knowledgeable about the islands — offering tips on the best snorkeling spots, tortoise reserves, and local restaurants that we never would have found on our own. Nothing felt like too much trouble for them. That personal touch is what sets this place apart from larger, more impersonal hotels
Our stay in the Galápagos was excellent. We were not inside very long, and didn’t expect luxury. Accommodations were adequate and breakfast was very good.
There was a hammock in the room - we loved it. Overall a great stay. The staff was friendly and the space was comfortable. It was difficult to get a taxi to the pier in the morning and the walk isn’t too far (15-20 min) but we had heavy bags so it was inconvenient. Other than that it was a nice place to stay.
Louis was especially helpful. Location ideal for reaching downtown without the traffic and noise. Drinking water is provided and there is a kitchen available for use.

Location good, in residential area but close to centre.
Changed our room at our request which we appreciated. Small swimming pool. Lovely hammocks by the pool. Staff spoke very little English so difficult to speak to them (we didn’t speak Spanish either!). I’m a vegetarian and don’t eat eggs, used google translate to say this but still given eggs. Breakfast very basic, roll, fruit and scrambled eggs. Coffee and fruit juice (watered down).
Place is clean and cheap, just a little better than a hostel but you get what you pay for.
Excellent value for money. Staff were always friendly & ready to help. Rooms were spacious with en suites & tv. & I enjoyed relaxing by the pool at the end of each day & dipping in to cool off. It’s not the most luxurious hotel in the world & breakfast is basic, but what would you expect for £209 for 6 nights over new year. If you want 5* star facilities & treatment go & pay £200 per night at one of the more luxurious hotels nearby, I struggle to believe some of the negative reviews I read here before I stayed. It is probably the best value hotel I’ve ever stayed in! The location is quiet & peaceful but an easy 5 min walk from the town centre & seafront.
Staff is very friendly and very helpful. The hotel was about a 10 min walk to the Charles Darwin research center security checkpoint and stores/dining options. The hotel appeared to be understaffed. No one at the lobby in the morning so we had to leave your room key with the kitchen lady at checkout. Open building concept with lots of natural light and fresh air. Breakfast was great with fresh cut fruit, bread, butter and jam, scrambled eggs and a cheese empanada.
We stayed at Hotel Verde Azul for seven nights and greatly enjoyed its laid-back atmosphere. The room was clean and the air conditioner worked well, the bed was comfortable, the shower had plenty of hot water, the breakfast hours were good (6:30-9:00), the hammocks by the pool were perfect for chilling in the shade during the hot afternoons, the walk down to the waterfront was an easy one, and, best of all the staff were very kind and helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not very well cleaned and staff does not really care when informed. Room had yellow grain like the specks on bed and controller when arrived, had ants, and restroom was not fully cleaned. Had to ask staff several times to change the sheets as they just tried to dust off the sheets and say it was changed and there was still specks and yellow stain. Breakfast was very small compared to 4 other similarly priced hotels. Would recommend Fernandina hotel
It is a comfortable hotel, decent local breakfast, they do your bed everyday but I do not think they change sheets; pool is ok; nothing fancy. They offer drinkable water for free (filtered) because you cannot drink tap water in Galapagos. They have a safe in the room which was very useful although there is no crime on the islands.
It is within walking distance to main Ave and 4 blocks from Charles Darwin Research Station.
One day we run out of hot chocolate and staff was not able to get more for the next day. Towels were not changed daily, but you could get them upon request. Wi fi is not reliable but this is the same on all islands.
It is a decent quiet hotel, good for the price paid, mostly ecuadorean guests.
