You couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay! Everyone was so nice and helpful. The room was very clean and the whole property was spotless. Breakfast was the perfect start to our days with all the smiling faces helping to make our start to the day a happy one. I highly recommend! It won’t disappoint. I’m giving you more stars because 5 is not enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The place is very chill, clean and quiet. Nice little pool to jump in and refresh. There is a nice little patio/lounge area that is totally underused. It would be nice to have a little music out there and offer drinks in the afternoon and evening. A sign on the bar said that they have drinks but no one was ever there. The breakfast is nice. Very simple and basic but tasty, filling and good coffee while you chat with the other travelers.

The unit was fantastic, spacious and comfortable. Some of the usual amenities were missing. A/C was only in the bedroom, not the 800 sq ft living space. Very sparce kitchen items (ie no coffee maker). But the incredible design features of the building and the mosaic architecture was delightful. Totally thrilling. Great pool!

1. Easy walking distance to airport, malecon, restaurants. 2. Plenty of hot water and (if needed) aircon. 3. Architecture: a big surprise to find Barcelona style 6000 miles from Europe; I took many delightful pictures of the hotel. 4. Family friendly. There were a number of guests with little kids. The breakfast area by the pool was sometimes a bit boisterous, while older folks (me) were sipping and waiting for the coffee to kick in. 5. I had e-mailed them my flight arrival time, and they arranged early check-in for me. Unusual, and appreciated.

Ich bin von dem Hotel enttäuscht und kann die guten Bewertungen nicht verstehen. Der Service ist im Hotel eine Katastrophe. Es ist nur morgens zum Frühstück überhaupt Personal vorhanden, und zwar nur eine Praktikantin und ein spanischsprechender Mitarbeiter. Sonst ist i.d.R. den ganzen Tag kein Personal vorhanden. Das Frühstück besteht aus labbrigen Croissants oder Brötchen, etwas Obst und im besten Fall Eier. Die Liegen am Pool sind unbequem und teilweise beschädigt. Es gibt z.B. keine Hotelbar, an der Getränke gekauft werden können. Handtücher für den Pool liegen einfach nur aus (ohne Ausgabe) und sind alt und teilweise stark verschmutzt. Die Standard-Zimmer sind mit ca. 135 Dollar pro Nacht komplett überteuert. Mir hat es nicht gefallen und ich würde nicht mehr dort übernachten.

Super cool artistic hotel. Reminds me of Barcelona. Short walk to the pier but far enough that it’s very quiet at night. Comfy bed, good AC! Great staff! Best market in town across the street. Would stay again.

デラックスアパートメントの部屋を利用しました。 写真通りのイメージの広々としたリビングとベッドルームがあり、とても清潔で快適な滞在が出来ました。 繫華街から少し離れているので終日静かです。 道向かいに夜遅くまでやっているスーパーマーケットがありますので、そこで食材を調達して部屋にあるキッチンで料理もできます。 食器やカトラリー、大型の冷蔵庫も完備されています。 WIFIも良い速度が出ます、日本とのweb会議もストレスなく出来ました。ワーケーションにもオススメします。 唯一残念な点は、リビングルームにエアコンが付いていないのでベッドルームから冷気を回さないと日中は暑いことです（ホテル側もそれは分かっているようで、大き目の扇風機が２台備え付けられています）。 この点を差し引いても値段以上の価値があります。 サンクリストバル島の滞在にはこのホテルをお勧めします！

The priperty is located in an area that is quiet and peaceful but within easy walking distance to key areas. Taxi cabs on the island are 1.50 USD so its easy to get around. For a 3 star hotel it had all the necesities covered. We spent out time sightseeing and only came back to clean up and sleep. The breakfast was very good and staff very kind.

Cheap is a better word than eco-friendly

We stayed at Hotel Katarma for one night after we stayed at Galápagos Sunset for 2 nights. We decided to stay in San Cristobal one extra day and Sunset was already booked. We have Katarma a chance because it was in the price range we usually like for a good hotel and it was within walking distance of the airport. For how much money you pay for this hotel, it is not worth it. I woke up in the middle of the night crying because I was so cold and this hotel only provides you with a sheet. NO BLANKETS. This hotel is cheap and acts like it is eco friendly. The towels were dirty when we got them and none matched — mine smelled 100% like Old Spice cologne and my boyfriend’s smelled like it was used to mop the floor. Then we tried to get breakfast before going to the airport and literally walked up to the counter where the eggs were being cooked and we were not helped. We were so confused what was going on because the only things we saw were fruit, yogurt, and a croissant. After over 10 minutes finally the manager/owner walked up to us to ask if we wanted eggs, after we literally stood at the egg counter and looked the cook dead in the eyes. The owner did help tell us how to get to the airport. That was the one good thing I can say… The art was funny and we enjoyed the quirkiness of this hotel. Price is not worth it for this hotel!! Go stay at Sunset or somewhere else.
