Hostal La Mirada del Solitario George, hotel in Puerto Ayora

La Mirada del Solitario George is located in Puerto Ayora, just 4 minutes’ drive from Charles Darwin Station and next to Cazares School.

This is a great hostal, the rooms are large, private and really clean. The best thing about the hostal is the availability and friendliness of the hosts. They are always ready to help and will help you find the best tours and transfers. They helped me with all my tours, transfers and even my laundry. It’s also a walking distance from both the bus terminal and the port

Location location location. Best location for staying at the center very near to pier, ferry terminal, food court called KIOSK. It's a fairly clean boutique hotel , value for money. The bed was comfortable, and clean sheets changed every other day, with hot water and clean towels. Got room father away from street and I slept very well. Stayed there 4 nights and enjoyed it. Don't expect it to be your 4 star or 5 star hotel. It's a BOUTIQUE HOTEL. Simple clean and cozy.

    The hostel has a comfortable shared area. The kitchen is very big and very well equipped. There are free water refills. Towels and bedsheets get changed every day. The place is centrally located and very close to the central food street (cheap menu del dia). They have an onsite bike rental shop. I could leave my bags on the way from Isabela to San Cristobal for 6 hours and use the facilities. The place was very social when I was there. Highly recommended!

    Great location, spacious, clean and comfy rooms with air con. I was slightly disappointed the hostel is quite dated and also doesn't have a common space or kitchen, doesn't offer water refills as most places do. I would recommend staying here for a 1 or 2 nights only.

    Great location for a good price. Friendly staff. The aircon was decent enough to keep the room cool. The bed is huge, as it is two small double beds put together, and you don't notice any gap in the middle. Next door to one of the best restaurants in town and close to everything else, including the best beach in Puerto Ayora, playa de la estación. Decent kitchen with plenty of seating, and free drinking water. Plus you can leave your bags in the hostel after checkout.

    Best value for money by far in Puerto Ayora! It's all new and fresh, very clean and very safe. Hot water, room is cleaned daily, shampoo provided. The kitchen was amazing, very well equipped and free drinking water too. The location for us was perfect, being backpackers and on a budget meant that we saw more of the cheaper places to eat than there are in the town.
