Casa de Nelly, San Cristobal, Galapagos — Hotel in Parroquia Puerto Baquerizo Moreno

Loved my stay at Casa de Nelly. I stayed a total of 6 nights here—3 nights in a single room on a lower level with a city view (could've slept 2 in a big double bed) and 3 nights in a room on the upper floor with a big balcony outside my door w/ excellent views of the bay from both the balcony and from inside my room (I booked a single, but the room could've slept 3 w/ a giant king-sized bed + a twin bed AND a small refrigerator—not sure if that's always the case when booking a single room). Both rooms were very clean and good-sized with ample shelving and hangers, and they each had a table with a stool. A nice, unexpected feature was a spray nozzle by the shower for washing sand off your feet & shoes—there's also one on the grounds so you can do it before you even get to your room. I'd stay in either room again.||The property has a charming little courtyard area with hammocks and natural wood tables, chairs & benches. I'd have loved more time to simply hang out there.|The location is fantastic—close to the end of the malecon and Playa Mann. Many mini-markets & lavenderias and other conveniences very close. A wonderful tour company (Islanders Galapagos a/k/a Islanders Store) is only half a block away.||Casa de Nelly is a family-owned hotel, and the two brothers who manage it are very friendly & helpful. Three times they called taxis for me, and upon my arrival in the Galapagos, one of them even picked me up at the airport himself. You can have breakfast at the hotel ($7 at the time of my stay), and it features fresh fruits, etc. from the family's farm! I had the breakfast one morning, and it was delicious & filling. Free filtered water for refilling your water bottle as often as you need to. During my stay, a huge bunch of bananas from the family farm hung in the courtyard, and guests were welcome to snap one off whenever. They were SO good! ||The WiFi worked well for me in both rooms. Just make sure you're signed into the correct one...

The location is fantastic—close to the end of the malecon and Playa Mann. Many mini-markets & lavenderias and other conveniences very close. A wonderful tour company (Islanders Galapagos a/k/a Islanders Store & Galapagos Yacht Day Tours—owners of the Valeria Yacht) is only half a block away.

Myself and 3 friends came here as part of the Guiding Galapagos tour that we took in October 2017. We stayed here 3 nights. This hotel is great for what it is. Great breakfast every morning (my half Mexican boyfriend is still saying 6 months later how much he loved the homemade empanadas)! The staff was nice the couple of times we interacted with them. The outdoor areas at this place are very pretty. Very cool, ornate wooden benches, hammocks, and a great patio a few levels up. This is where my friends and I had rooms. One of the three rooms up here had a mini fridge but if you dont have one in your room you can use the one in the full kitchen on the ground floor. There is filtered water that you can use to fill up water bottles whenever you please from large blue bottles on the railings on the ground floor. Air conditioning was great! Unfortunately water temperature and pressure was not so great for the showers here. This hotel is in a quiet area but a quick 5 minute walk takes you to the start of the town and all the sea lions. Although you can easily hear the sea lions...
