Overall Ratings & Reviews Gran Hostal Tintorera

This is a very nice place to stay while in Isabela Family owned they will go the extra mile to make you feel like at home. I will recommend this place and for sure will book again if I come back to beautiful Isabela island

I love the small town filling

Very nice hotel in Puerto Villamil. The best part is staff and service. You can relay on them - always ready to help! I would recommend it!

Clean, safe, pleasant place with hot water, WiFi, and breakfast included. Short walk to the beaches and center of town. Perfect for what it is.

The service from the staff was excellent.

Nice place for the price. Staff are super helpful and friendly! Highly recommended.

It's not the most exciting place to stay, however, the breakfast is great. They treat it like it's a little VRBO. They cook to order eggs, get fruit, coffee, fruit juice, delicious bread each morning. They clean the room every day. They scheduled shuttles for us. Very hospitable.

A Hostal close to the main strip and beach within walking distance. Clean and good value for money

I love everything about Tintorera, all the people making my experience in Isabela amazing. The breakfast is delicious and sharing where all their organic food comes from was also an amazing experience. Hope to return soon, thank you so much

For the price, it's very ok I should say. Property is "far" from center or ferry port, but the whole town is very small, the "far" is only 4 blocks away, 5 minutes walking, so, this is not a problem. The overall environment is quiet and you live in a garden with a couple of small yard with healthy plant. You can hear dog barking (there seems no way to avoid anywhere in island). We don't call it noisy. The noisy is actually from construction. If not in construction season, probably much better. And some add-on benefit staying here is: The host seems overall organize the Volcano hiking tour, he prepared the lunch box for the tour as well. And the hiking tour we booked from him directly is $35/p.p. The tour bus is parking in this property. Due to the ongoing construction, hotel have working noisy the whole day when we stay. Which might also the reason result the room is cover by dust. And seems not all room ready to welcome guest, missing a lot of necessity. But you can ask for and they would fix it immediately. And for some bad lucky, 1 of the room having bedbug, but another room is ok. And the shower not working in 1 room, after we reported to host, who move us to another room, which was having much better shower water flow. Check out time is 10am, but we were allowed to stay till 1pm for free to catch our flight scheduled on 2pm. Which is very friendly and appreciated. Staff are very nice and helpful. Overall, I should say, we get what we paid. :)

We really enjoyed staying at this hostel. Very clean room full of natural light, good shower. The service excellent with a wonderful breakfast. The owner always ready to help and answer any questions. Highly recommended

A few blocks from the main street but beautiful and clean. Very nice and helpful staff.

The best hotel in the Galapagos! The room were so nice, clean, bright and had everything we could wish for (AC, space, towels, shampoo etc). The breakfast was lovely and the courtyard as well. There was a water refill which was so useful. The staff was so nice, on our last day we left at 5am so couldn’t have breakfast and the owner gave us a lunch box to take with us. So lovely!!!! Wish we could have stayed longer. Also they organise tours which we wished we had known about. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Great place to stay - comfortable bed and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Easy to walk to the beach. Only downside was all the loud dogs in the neighborhood barking in the night - take earplugs if you’re a light sleeper! This has been the case at other places I’ve stayed in Galapagos that are more in the neighborhoods, so is not unique to this property. I recommend this place.

I really enjoyed staying here and the property had a wonderful feel and so much safety. The room was clean and fresh and they cleaned between my stay as well. Check in was easy and seamless and informative. The breakfast was really nice with fresh fruit juice, coffee, bread, jam, fresh papaya, watermelon, bananas. Out of the main downtown it was a simple 5 blocks to walk to the bustling area of downtown for dining. Really enjoyed and would stay again. Loved the spiral staircase and Also loved the volleyball and basketball courts a block away and went to watch volleyball each night.

Friendly and attentive staff. Delicious breakfast.

Estabelecimento simples, mas que cumpre o que promete.

Muito boa nossa estada com um bom chuveiro, coisa quenianas não tínhamos visto em Galápagos. A proprietária é muito simpática, sempre pronta a ajudar com informações.

Absolutely wonderful staff and family. Great room. Fast service if I ever needed a taxi or shuttle. Super sweet staff that truly brings a smile to your face with their attitude towards the work they do. Only recommendation would be breakfast options. Breakfast is delicious but eggs come one way and not many protein options. 100% would come back here and recommend to anyone.

Staff were very friendly, attentive, and helpful. Beautiful place and lovely island.
