Hostal D Estrellita

Puerto Baquerizo Moreno

I was in this hostel for only 1 night.
Pro: cheap, nice bedroom, gentle host.
Con: not in the center (5-10 minutes away), wifi not very good (but who really cares)
Nothing else to say, I was there for only one night so look at other reviews to confirm.

Good, cheap hostel

The cleanliness was impeccable, its owner was very kind, and he resolved all anxiety and always quickly if he needed something 100 percent recommended.

Excellent attention, very clean.

We found this place last minute and although at first sight it doesn’t seem like the place you would choose for your first nights in Galapagos (in the sense that it is a bit distant to the main parts of town, the beach and the pier compared to other places and the decor is not modern, and it is not big - it is actually a house) we were to surprised to find that it has basically everything you need, such as a TV, a shared kitchen and drinking water, and even laundry machines for rent. The owner was very helpful, he showed a map of the island, tours available and top places to visit and he even called a taxi for us for the morning we had to leave San Cristobal and take the ferry to Santa Cruz. We just wished it would be cheaper based on its location and its decor. It still needs improvement and it was a 10-15minute walk to the nearest beach and at night the walk home could look a little bit sketchy (although San Cristobal is very safe). 

Great last-minute deal on low season

Though my Spanish is lacking, my communication with Efren has been frequent and positive. This man takes care of his property and the people who are in it. Whether it's picking up from the airport, laundry, tour recommendations or simply asking for local feedback; Efren was always willing to help. 

As a solo traveler, this place served my needs as I ventured around the island for 7 days. The kitchen has a fridge, stove, standard pots, pans and utensils. Not a lot, but enough for the amount of cooking that I did. There is a mini market across the street which had the majority of the food that I needed during my stay. I would recommend that you bring your own flavouring and spices as there isn't much left behind by travellers. 

The beds are comfortable, the private toilet and shower in room #2 was convenient, it had A/C and I was away from the noise on the street. They came through and cleaned the rooms daily and made the bed. 

If I had to say anything negative about this place, it would be that you can find little ants running around the building. But from what I've seen, they are everywhere around town and in many shops. So you really can't avoid them. 

If I was to return to this island, I would happily stay here again. Otherwise, my last bit of advice if you are visiting the Galapagos is bring enough sunblock for your time here as it's always hot and sunblock is expensive to buy if you need more. 

Clean, comfy and well taken care of!

This is a small place, with a comfy little sitting room and a large kitchen with a good-sized, clean stove and fridge. Beds were comfortable. Owner was friendly, but always seemed in a hurry, so we tried not to ask him too many questions. 5 of us were here for 4 nights in 2 different rooms. The three of us in the triple at the end of the hall had relatively restful sleep, but the 2 who stayed in the double next to the front door didn't sleep well at all and didn't have their own bathroom. The noisy street was just outside their window and the acoustics outside their room amplified sounds of other visitors, some of whom came in quite late. While the kitchen was serviceable, there really weren't enough pans, dishes, etc to do much more than 1-pot meals, cereal and coffee. We had hot water most days, but usually had to, first, go outside and up to the manager's apartment to get someone to come down and reset it for us. We liked that it was close to restaurants and the town beach.

Not bad; not great

The owner was very attentive, very kind and answered all our questions quickly. It is a good place to stay and economical. It did not include breakfast so I don't know how the food will be. We walked from the pier without any problems as it is a small town and everything is close by.

Recommended Recommended

The place is cozy, like being at home, the excellent service, they put us in touch with all the activities we did, they contributed to our 5 days in San Cristóbal being unforgettable... Super recommended!!!!!

Excellent service.

Although we only stayed one weekend in January of this year, we enjoyed it a lot. It is noteworthy the friendly attention of its owners, who made us feel like we were at home. The room is simple, but it has everything necessary, the kitchen is very nice, being able to use it at any time, as well as the living room. There is a place to hang clothes, which makes the stay easier. While it is not very central to the place, we were able to walk through many parts of the island. Recommended place! Consider an excellent quality-price ratio. Greetings from Uruguay. Victoria.

 Like at home!

We stayed for four nights here - our first stop on a 18 day trip to Galapagos. Efren, the Hostal owner met us at the airport and gave us suggestions for tours - then arranged all tickets and pick ups etc. Having now been to three other islands we think at least another day on San Cristobal would be worth it- the Hostal had free water, a kitchen, and washing machine. Nothing was too much trouble for Efren. You have to walk 5-7 minutes into town but given the price and service were excellent. San Cristobal has much to offer and this Hostal had everything you need.

Excellent service
