Stayed at Hotel Solymar in May 2012 and really enjoyed it. The rooms were very comfortable and everything was clean. The unlimited bottled water was a plus!! The front desk staff was very helpful. We loved the location in town. They even held some of our extra baggage for us for free that we did not want to take when... More

Great location, easy to walk to restaurants and the other sites in town. The hotel is not super super chic but one of the best and most comfortable in town. There's a pool to lounge in and a great view. The rooms are clean with a small balcony and the beds comfortable. AC works well so not much more to... More

Hotel Solymar is a really nice small hotel in Puerto Ayora. My husband and I stayed there only one night but we had a great time. The hotel is right on the water and because of that a lot of wildlife hang out poolside with guests! While we were enjoying some beers by the pool a sea lion played in... More

Hotel is very well located, we got an upgrade and were able to stay at the main tower, with Ocean view, however some of the personnel were not very friendly, transportation from the airport was much more expensive than getting it by yourself. Pros - There is a sea lion at the pool area of the hotel which was a... More

NO CONTRATAR excursiones con el hotel, cobran el doble que afuera. El transfer desde el aeropuerto lo pagamos un 300% más caro que lo usual (USD80 -40 por persona- contra USD19,80 que sale normalmente).El staff estuvo todo el tiempo encima para que saldáramos la deuda cuando normalmente se salda a la partida. Internet no funcionó 3 de 5 días que... More

Dear Gvricci, Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. As with any service paid and booked through a hotel, there is an additional fee involved as the hotel employees are required to take the time to coordinate the services. In March, there were issues with the internet due to the solar storms affecting the satellites that provide... More

Spent our last night here in the Galapagos, March 19th. Had an ocean view room. I have two teenagers who wanted to have a pool to chill in. Room was clean. Shower was big. Hot water worked well. Location in town was perfect. Can't beat the waterfront location. We like the hammocks on the water to just relax and read... More

This is the second time my wife and I stayed at the Hotel Solymar. It is the first time we stayed at their brand new property across the street call Isla Sol. This is a nice place. When making reservations you get contacted by one of the owners Allison. Very efficient, you email her and she emails you right back.... More

After having staying in several hostel type accommodations Solymar was like a dream come true. Clean sheets, and nice bathroom showers (with water pressure). Silent AC unit. We did have bad luck and construction (concrete hammering) was ongoing in February 2012 and it was impossible to nap during the daytime. We did get to check out later free of charge... More

Amazing and clean hotel room, beautiful main entrance area, nice pool area and attentive service from the entire staff. Excellent location right in the heart of town. The resident sea lion by the pool was an added bonus. Special thanks to Claudia who worked at the front desk and really went above and beyond to help us with anything that... More
