We had a wonderful stay at this small, family-owned hotel in the Galápagos. The service was exceptional from start to finish — the owner personally made sure every detail was taken care of and that we had everything we needed. The staff spoke excellent English, which made communication easy and stress-free. The location was perfect, close to everything yet still quiet and relaxing. And the breakfasts were fantastic — fresh, generous, and a great way to start each day of exploring. We truly felt welcomed and cared for. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

Warm and inviting. Property is unique and beautifully laid out. Owners and operators made our stay so smooth. Huge thank you and we hope to see them again!

Great place! Incredibly friendly and kind staff.

This place is magical and beautiful. Definitely one of the best places to stay in Puerto Arroya.

Overall excellent choice for a family stay in Puerto Ayora. Rooms are very clean and spacious and short walk to main ferry pier and lots of restaurants and shopping.

The rooms are adorable and clean and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming and it’s a really lovely space and very comfortable. Seven of us stayed there and we all thought it was great. They were very accommodating and extremely courteous.

This was a great stay! The hotel is so cute and the staff is top notch! The rooms were spacious, had plenty of shelving, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is convenient, located near stores, Darwin Ave, restaurants, and bars. It is about a 10 minute walk to the pier, but they will coordinate taxis if you need it. They give you a discount to a local tour agency and restaurant. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. I skipped breakfast and told them I was going to Isabela Island and they made a to-go bag for lunch for me. Highly recommend this place!

Super experience all around. The host and staff were polite and helpful

Our stay was very comfortable. The hotel is located in a great location — close to everything but far enough from the noise. Dennis, who runs the place, is welcoming and very accommodating and kind. Everyone and everything was lovely.

Dennis the owner was lovely and very helpful. The bed was super comfy, the shower hot and with good pressure and the breakfast was nice and healthy. Thank you!

We loved our stay! The staff was very helpful and the room was spacious and such a unique design. We would highly recommend!

Great location. Helpful owner and really friendly. Good breakfast and even did us a takeaway when we had to leave for an early ferry. Would stay again

It’s a cute hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good and it was pretty close to the puerto. It was a little noisy at night and we could hear karaoke from our room, but it was a cute place with clean water to drink.

Best hotel in Santa Cruz

For our first trip to the Galapagos, my two friends and I opted for the DIY style of exploring the Galapagos Islands. We wanted to stay at a place that was central to Puerto Ayora, small enough to not feel overwhelmed by tourists, and offered good recommendations for places to explore and restaurants to try. The staff at Maidith Inn delivered on all three! Maidith is a 5-10 minute walk to the busy shopping/dining scene and port from which the ferries depart, but far enough away from the busy street to be quiet at night. It had an intimate vibe, and Denis, the innkeeper for the time being, was there to greet us every morning and evening with kindness, fresh towels, and bottles of water. He provided great recommendations on restaurants to try in addition to the one-page list of dining options that Maidith had for its guests. When booking our reservation, I reached out to Maidith about some recommended places to visit on the way from the airport. For a reasonable price, they connected us with the best taxi driver who picked us up from the airport, took us to Los Gemelos, took us to Frontier Galapagos, where we saw land tortoises and hiked to/from the lava tunnels, and took us to the hotel. This taxi driver was incredibly kind and professional, and we ended up using his services two or three more times during our stay. As a plus, the daily breakfast is fresh and healthy. If traveling alone or with a small group, Maidith Inn could be the perfect option!

Denis and his staff were fantastic. Took care of anything we needed. Breakfast was great.

This was a great, quaint hotel that was very close to everything but quiet at night. The couple that owns it took great care of us but they do not speak English so be prepared for this. If I ever return I will definitely stay here again.

A family run business that goes above and beyond to care for their guests. A beautiful hotel able to get to know and give individual attention.

Stayed here for 5 nights. Breakfast was delicious each morning, Dennis and Lourdes were fabulous hosts. The swimming pool was the perfect temperature to cool off in after a day exploring. Restaurants nearby, Darwin Research centre super close. Very quiet and enjoyable stay. Would return!
