A guidebook reviewed Casa de Judy (formerly Hotel Galapagos) positively as a good place to stay for budget-conscious travellers. The book said it was a good option because of its relative proximity to the main strip. Looking for accommodations, my husband and I decided to visit, and were won over by Judy's warm personality and the simple, but beautiful design... More

Galapagos Inn is in a quite side street, but only 5-10 minutes away from most important places in Puoerto Ayura. It's a medium sized hotel and costs less than a lot of the other hotels in town. The rooms are simple but very clean. There is a nice pool. Judy, the owner is incredibly nice and helpful and goes out... More

Judy and her husband made us feel like family. This property is off the main path, but not too far from it so it was easy to walk to and from around town. We arrived in September which was a little off season and Judy let us choose any room we wanted so we picked the top of course to... More

The staff made you feel like you were at a relative's house. They were so great, welcoming and helpful. The rooms are simple, clean and really all you need. AC worked great. Short walk to town and the best breakfast you can ask for! We upgraded our last week in Isabella to a fancier hotel and though the location was... More

Stayed for 5 nights in december 2012. Really nice hotel and Judy are very helpful in every way. Only bad thing is that it was rarely any hot water, which for my girlfriend is an important thing. We would definitely stay with Judy again if we go back to Puerto Ayora.

We stayed at Casa de Judy with our family of 4 (kids are 10 &12). Judy (the owner), her husband, sun (Julian who was also our guide, and an excellent guide by the way!) and daughter were very friendly. Judy is a charm and makes you feel very comfortable. The installations are clean and the AC worked perfectly (which wasn't... More

We stayed here for 5 nights while we explored the Galapagos. The rooms were simple, but spacious and clean, and our room had wonderful views over the bay. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the main street in Puerto Ayora, and about the same distance from the Charles Darwin center, so it was convenient but also quiet.... More

We were pleasantly surprised by our stayed here. We had to pay in advanced (we wired the money from the States and were a bit concerned about this); however, we did not have any problems once we got there. Our triple and quadruple rooms were spacious and clean. We had clean towels every day – which was surprising! The breakfast... More

We paid for our hotel stay (six nights) via PayPal, which was really convenient for us. We booked an ocean view room because it was our honeymoon, and it was beautiful. Judy knew we were coming as newlyweds, and the staff put balloons, fresh flowers, and towel swans in our room, which was a great touch. The staff was very... More

We booked this hotel on our own from Vancouver through their website after reading about it on Trip Advisor. We paid by Money gram no problem. We stayed on the 3rd floor of this hotel with a great ocean view. They had a nice unheated pool. Breakfast was included and was filling - Egg, fruit, coffee, bread. They didn't serve... More
