I stayed here only 1 night, after a cruise. The room was OK, but nothing special, a bit run down. The location is fine - not by the sea, but still in town. The staff were very helpful and pleasant, if not all that efficient. The main drawbacks are the lack of internet (there is supposed to be, and maybe... More

I spent 7 nights at Hotel Silberstein. It was my base for exploring the Galapagos. Due to the hotel being full, I had the family room. It was cleaned every day, the bed was very comfortable and to have a fridge was a luxury.The meals were not only plentiful but also delicious. At first I thought the liquor prices high... More

We spent one night at the Hotel Silberstein with a group. All 8 couples had rooms with one double bed. My husband is 6'4 and 230 lbs. I'm 5'9, and weigh 100 lbs less, so it would not have been a comfortable night. Fortunately, they were able to move us to another room and bring in a twin bed for... More

The Hotel Silberstein is truly a paradise hotel in the Galapagos Islands.  The hotel room was basic but the necessities were enough for our 9 day stay.  I definitely recommend this hotel if it is your first time visiting the enchanting islands.  The room also included a delicious breakfast every morning (fresh fruits, eggs, bread and special treats (pancakes, French...

My mom and I stayed at Hotel Silberstein for just over a week in January of 2012. We stayed in a very nice double bed room complete with AC and everything one needs to feel like they aren't in the middle of nowhere! :) The food is very good (try the ceviche and the coconut drink!) and they have a...

After many days on the different islands, we were in search of a nice meal. At first we went to a pizza restaurant, however they were booked for the evening. They suggested that we go to the Silberstein for supper. Boy were we glad that we did! At first look, it seemed very tiny and had no space for the... More

Rooms were basic but comfortable with a good bathroom and shower. Rooms were clean and reception was very helpful. No hairdryer. Free internet in reception although very slow. The hotel was fairly central. There was no air conditioning or heating and at times the room felt cool. We ate in the restaurant where the food was good, however the waiters... More

This is a small, friendly, attractive and well placed family hotel. There is no tv, or hairdryer, or tea making facilities but the rooms are comfortable and the food good, although on the booze side foreign spirits were very expensive. The walls may also be rather thin as the smell from the Russian smokers cigarettes next door permiated through the... More
