We stayed at the Albemarle Hotel from April 2nd to the 5th and we found it to be above our expectations. Upon arrival Max upgraded us from a poolside to an ocean view room. What a view it was! The room was very nice and up to our standards: comfortable bed, very nice bathroom, filtered water in the room, and... More

We were prepared for the bad reviews on Trip Advisor so we were surprised enjoyed our stay of 5 days. The excellent service from owner Max Murray by e-mail has been important for us. We had cancelled at the last minute because of work and money last year from completely credited us our money for this year. He informed us... More

We are independent travellers who visited Galapagos last month. We are avid UK bird watchers and decided to visit Galapagos after watching the BBC's wonderful documentary series. This hotel was right at the top end of our budget but we were not disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay. As they say, its all about location, location, location,... More

DO NOT STAY HERE! I was so looking forward to staying at this hotel. It seemed reasonably priced for the description of the hotel. Although I had read the reviews of the hotel as having ants on the beds, I did contact the owner directly who told me that had been a one-time occurrence because the room was next to... More

It is in a good location across from a swimming beach and around the block from some great restaurants. The reason for the poor review was due to lack of cleanliness. The same dead bugs were in the same location in our bathroom the entire stay. Also open bars of soap and hair were left from the previous tenants. The... More

Stayed here as an independent traveler while visiting Galapagos. We had a great time doing day trips with local guides (helps if you speak Spanish and they really do know the best places to take you to!) and eating out at local restaurants, but the hotel really was the low point of our stay. Great location right on the beach... More

The Albemarle was somewhat of a dissapointment to us for the cost. First - BEAWARE - it is located RIGHT next to a lively bar. If you need rest - don't stay here. The bar noise goes until wee hours of the morning. Although the desk clerk assured us the noise stops after 9:00 PM it does not. In addition,... More

Although hotels are Isabela are limited, this one did not live up to our expectations. We learned how difficult it was to try and book hotels on our own (outside of an organized tour or agency), but still chose to maintain our independence. Hotel Albemarle is ideally situated directly on the beach, and our room was rather large, but it... More

I stayed at the Albermale for a couple of nights. the girl at the reception was nice. She never asked me for an ID, which could be explained by how safe Isabela is (literally, there is no crime whatsoever). I got the Crossman room. I was not very surprised. Even though it has a nice tiny pool area, the room... More
