Galapagos Morning Glory

Puerto Ayora

This is really one of the nicest hostels I've stayed at. The host/owner was incredibly helpful and gave wonderful recommendations. The room was very large and nice, and had AC, which was a definite plus. Overall, just a wonderful place to stay, in a great location.

Wonderful hotel

An incredible experience, the owners were very kind, a genuine place to disconnect from the city, despite being in the city center, we felt at home, the breakfast was very rich, everything was being prepared for you right now, I wanted to surprise my husband with a detail for our anniversary, if we took care of everything.

To repeat without a doubt.

The location, people, and comfortability of this hotel were great! Marco greeted me as I arrived with reccommendations on what to do and where to visit. He was also nice enough to get me bread each morning (as they had suspended their breakfast service because of high prices). The kithcen was clean and easy to use. My room was cleaned each day and when I asked for another blanket after the first night they were happy to help. The location is ideal as you can walk everywhere you need to. As a solo female traveler, I felt extremely safe and comfortable staying here (and in the rest of Puerto Ayora). It was super relaxed and a great place to come back to after days of diving. 

The Ideal Hotel 

We stayed for 4 days at this lodge.The facilities are very fun, with hammocks and garden areas.The service is great, very friendly.The spacious and comfortable rooms.The kitchen shared with us a luxurious breakfast room.One of the hosts made excellent recommendations that helped us a lot.We loved it.

Excellent accommodation 

Was recommended this hostal by dive operators and also saw on Air Bnb. Lovely place, on the main drag but enough away to be quiet and in its own hip neighborhood (and right next to the best sushi i have ever had). Private room with bath was artistic and quiet, opened to a courtyard and garden with hammocks and an outdoor kitchen and eating area, at which I often sat with my fellow travelers and traded tips and stories. Reuben, the host, is excellent and a former guide, so he has so many good tips and is eager to share. Good security. Loved it loved it.

Fantastic find, cozy home and great ambiance.

Wow! What an unforgettable stay we had at Morning glory during our last few days in paradise before the COVID nightmare. The rooms were spacious and and the Air-Con was necessary after a long day out in the sun. The free breakfast in the morning was delicious and the location was just off the main square, a quick 5 minute walk away from the nighttime street food market. The real highlight however was the staff... the owner/host, Daniel, was hospitable and gracious as he helped coordinate many of the best portions of our trip. He always enjoyed taking the time to chat with all travellers over morning coffee and really made our stay there memorable. While we were leaving he was kind enough to share a parting gift with us: a bag of his favourite Galapagos coffee (which, once we were able to return to Canada and brew up a cup, did not disappoint!!). To summarize, whoever ends up reading this review, please heed my advice and book at Morning Glory ASAP!! You won’t regret your decision!!

One of the best games experiences we’ve had!!

I stayed at Morning Glory in March during the Corona outbreak for three nights. 

What I liked:
+Most of the accomodations are located facing the beautiful and quite calm garden. 
+The staff was very friendly and helpful during the time of Corona outbreak and they helped me organizing things.
+The bed was quite comfortable
+I liked the cupboard and other things in the room to organize yourself. 
+A very good hot shower
+Good working A/C
+The location within Puerto Ayora is very good

Ideas for further improvement in the future:
-The room keys are supposed to be left at the reception desk and there they are easily accessible for everyone and in the rooms there is no safe. I didn't feel unsafe during my stay but there is no need to make things that easy.
-A credit card payment should be installed to make travel easier and safer. The price is high enough so that you could expect a credit card machine.
-The breakfast (I didn't try it) should be optional bookable. Not everybody is a breakfast person. 

Overall: I had a good time and I would stay there again.

A good feeling accomodation with kind staff

- Very helpful staff, always ready to provide information or help us - Wallet left during our stay in Isabela - A varied breakfast with eggs/tartines/coffee - tea - milk chocolate - Large and comfortable bed with well-decorated room - Good shower flow - Serviettes / daily housekeeping - Air conditioning - Optimal location (facing the fish market, all ready from downtown Darwin, 40 minutes' walk from tortuga bay, 10 minutes from the port) - Bike rental at the entrance to the hostel

It's a great stay in Santa Cruz.

The Morning Glory was certainly one of the best hostels on our multi-week trip through Ecuador. The price-performance ratio fits! The rooms are beautiful and purposefully furnished - everything is super clean. The courtyard with hanging mats and seating is superb. Everything is very lovingly designed. The location is really very good. The service is super - the place and the island are explained, we got good tips. Cheap taxis are also booked ;) A big plus is the perfect English! The breakfast is good and varied - the super breakfast times are tuned for excursions and tours, for long-term trips there is at least some coffee. We've had a total of 2x and would be back there right away.

Super hostel.

My friend and I stayed 5 nights in this lovely hostal.  The location is perfect, easy walk to restaurants, fish market and the Darwin Center.  The gardens and hammocks offered a pleasant respite from all the action. Daniel and family members were wonderful to chat with and address any needs we had.  The breakfast and free water for filling our water bottles were also a great $saver. I would definitely stay here again.  Great value and great place.
