Fantastic experience at Maidith Inn! We loved how quaint and charming the hotel was. Our room was spotless and comfortable for 4 of us (a couple with a kid travelling with another adult friend). Appreciated the freshly cooked breakfasts, and Juan Carlos was exceptionally helpful. When we arrived, he helped us get our bearings of the town, recommended restaurants other guests enjoyed, and made himself completely available to help with our stay. He also helped us arrange tours -- everyone in the Galapagos seems to work exceedingly hard to make guest experiences great. We felt completely safe and entrusted Juan Carlos to handle cash payments on our behalf for tours. We enjoyed cooling off in the evenings in the small outdoor shower and pool. The hotel is in a quiet area but completely walkable to all the restaurants and shops. Highly recommend, wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!

This is a beautiful boutique hotel. All the spaces were immaculately clean and beautifully decorated.. Breakfast was fantastic with many choices! It was a great start to the day. Breakfast smiles and laughs. Juan Carlos the general manager and true gentleman took the time to give us good information on everything from tours to restaurants. He definitely pays attention to detail. Thank you Juan Carlos for making our trip memorable. Your kindness was much appreciated.

Highly recommend this place... I just had a wonderful stay at Maidith Inn in Santa Cruz. Juna Carlos (the owner) was so helpful with planning tours & recommendations in the area. The place is in a great location, short walk to the main street with lots of shopping/ restaurants etc. Very clean property & a huge breakfast included every morning. I will def. stay here again! :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Maidith Galapagos Inn. Hotel was spotless, room had comfortable beds, lots of space, a large dresser and daily breakfast was excellent. The owner/manager, Juan Carlos, gave great information and recommendations for tours and restaurants. He helped with bookings and saved us time and money on both tours. Lourdes was a wonderful cook and maid with a welcoming smile. Will recommend to friends and plan to return again.

Wonderful, magical space. Piqueros: Perfect room for our extended stay with two kids-10yo daughter and 13yo son. The owners are amazing. Connected us to a tour company to plan our stay before we arrived. The owners arranged our airport picks-tour of the highlands/turtles on the way in. The driver delivered our bags while we feasted, learned about the turtles and explored the highlands. Totally recommend. The breakfast were fresh and wonderful. Two block walk to all the restaurants and very close to port-completely recommend!

Juan Carlos and Elvira were delightful hosts and made our stay unforgettable. They went out if their way to make sure everything was perfect. Their restaurant suggestions made our trip, not only a wildlife paradise exploration but a culinary experience that made our time in Puerto Ayora most enjoyable. I will definitely return and most certainly recommend this lovely hotel! ❣️

Absolutely fabulous stay! The rooms were clean and spacious, and the hosts felt like family. They made us fresh breakfast every day and had awesome recommendations for the island. I would only stay here every time I come back to the Galapagos. The hotel was an oasis from the town, it was quiet and offered a nice pool to cool down in after a day of activities. The hosts could not have been more helpful; they connected us with transportation, activities, restaurants, and even medical care. Always available, informative, and we’re always looking out for me. They supplied lots of free safe drinking water, and our room even had a fridge. The inn itself is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and in an excellent location in Puerto Ayora. We could walk to everything. By far one of the best hotels I've ever been privileged enough to stay at. The gorgeous building, beautiful colors, and breathtaking interior have a wow factor! They all go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The atmosphere is very family-friendly, and they are so warm and attentive! Their recommendations helped make my first time in the Galapagos unforgettable. Highly recommend this beautiful & welcoming stay!

This was a delightful place to stay and we are extremely pleased we chose it for our 2 weeks in Puerto Ayora. Elvira and Juan Carlos were the best hosts one could ever ask for. I Can think of nothing to critisise the Inn or staff about. It was so quiet, comfortable and hassle-free staying there. We had some lovely chats with both our hosts during our stay. If we ever return to the island we will automatically be staying with them again.

Family of four spent 3 nights 4 days and were very comfortable. Very convenient and clean from white towels and linens, to the most friendliest staff you will ever get at a hotel. The breakfasts set us up for the day, kids were happy! Air conditioner worked great. The owner had thought of everything—- hair dryer, clothes zip line to hang wet bathing suits, beach towels ( you will need to ask the staff for them). We highly recommend booking your stay here!

I recently had the pleasure to spend three nights at the Maidith Galapagos Inn. The property is beautifully decorated and has a nice little pool. The location was very convenient and was a short walk to restaurants, shops, the ferry terminal and the Charles Darwin Center. Our room was clean and well appointed: filled with the thoughtful touches that make traveling life much easier (power outlets built in to the bedside lamps, clothesline in the shower, etc…). Juan Carlos, the manager, was amazing! He gave us many useful tips on how to navigate the island, great restaurant recommendations and helpful advice on which activities to do. Also, he went above and beyond to try to help us locate a non locally available cream for my son’s eczema. He is truly a gem and goes out of his way to make you feel at home. In short, this is a great property to stay on if you are spending time in Santa Cruz!
