We were truly disappointed with Hotel Gardner. Rooms were very basic, linens were not clean, fan loud, and water in shower was lukewarm at best. Very overpriced for $45/night. I would recommend staying next door at the brand new Espana Hotel for $30/night. They have a nice courtyard with hammocks and a great English speaking front desk that can arrange... more

We stayed at the Hotel Gardner for 7 nights while in the Galapagos and it was great. The staff were so accommodating and kind! Our hot water was out of service on the first day and they fixed it immediately. When we wanted to stay an extra night, they not only allowed it but also called TAME to change our... more

Stayed in Hotel Gardner 6 days in June, 2009. I can't say enough great things about the owners As a family of 5 with 3 daughters (21, 18 & 17), we were traveling on a budget and Janet was very helpful. There is no ocean view as depicted in a previous review from 2008 but it is located 2 short... more

Just returned from staying at the Gardner. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable..especially Janina. Booked nice day trips with her and the prices were the best we found. 45 a nite is what you get...decent rooms, could use an extra towel or two , but otherwise ok. No frills here, but not in the room all that much anyway. Communication not... more

This was a great place to relax after a hectic 10 day Galapagos cruise in the heat. The rooms were extremely clean. The terrace on the upper floor had a nice view of the ocean. It was fantastic for an afternoon card game, or a nice place to relax and read a book. The location is 2 small city blocks... more

We'd been looking for a good value place to base ourselves while in the Galapagos. Gardner was the right price and was clean, comfortable and provided a good rooftop breakfast. It is centrally placed handy for everything in Puerto Ayora. Check it out. more

We stayed at Hotel Gardner for almost two weeks when our cruise of the Galapagos Islands cancelled at the last minute. Janet and Wil, the husband and wife management team, were extraordinary in helping us save our “trip of a lifetime” by dealing with the defunct tour operator, booking us trips to other islands, supplying us with a guide to... more
