The Red Booby is a really nice hotel, it is family run and offers really good service. We stayed there with our 2 year old son and 9 year old daughter, we had a delightful time, we enjoyed the rooftop pool and the having the kitchen available to heat our baby bottles. The staff were very accommodating and the place... More

The location of this hotel is pretty ideal. Walking distance to the pier where you can catch a water taxi ($0.60/person daytime or $1.00/person night time) to the nearby Angermeyer island for an afternoon cocktail and beach stroll. Sadly, that's the only positive point I have for this hotel. A pungent odor welcomed us as we entered our room. It... More

My stay in the Galapagos Islands at the Red Booby Hotel was absolutely wonderful! The staff at this location were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. The breakfst offered was very good as well. The room itself was very clean, well organized and spacious. AC was working well, no problem with the lights going out (as I heard... More

We stayed at the Red Booby for 5 nights in January. The location is superb -within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Puerto Arroyo and just a couple blocks from the waterfront/docks. The room was plenty large with a table/chairs and storage area for clothes. Everything was neat and clean. Loved the roof top pool! Probably not... More

Our family recently stayed at the Red Booby for 1 night on our Galapagos Adventure. The hotel is in a great location (although all is close in Puerto Ayora). The rooms were clean, plenty of hot water for showering, air conditioner worked well. We stayed on the first floor. A little noisy in the morning with guests coming down, gathering... More

Clean and roomy. Right across the hotel there is a bar that can be loud late at night. The town is very small, so any location is close to the harbor. Nobody in the hotel speaks any English, but this is the case for any hotel of this class.

As someone else mentioned, this place is clean, neat, close to where you need to be, breakfast was nice enough, - it'll do the job. Beds were too hard for me, but every place I stayed in Ecuador (5) except one had too hard beds. Our room was on the second floor and the view across the street was of... More

We stayed four nights in the hotel. Many rooms are located in the first two floors with windows opening to the restaurant area. Some mornings this means early arousal because of loudspeaking guests (Americans). Try to get rooms facing outwards or to the third level. Nice and plentiful breakfast. The location is excellent even though there are no distances to... More

So, we booked our trip with LatinAmerica4Less.com and therefore had no control over our hotel. We stayed at the Red Booby hotel for 3 nights and it was fine. Each room had an AC unit and they worked, which was all that mattered. We actually slept very well every night. The rooms are pretty sterile and not much to comment... More
