We had a lovely stay on Iasabela at the Galapagos hostel. Our room was bright spacious and very clean. The outside roof top area is a great space overlooking the flamingo lake. Due to it being low season we didn’t see anyone else in the hostel and the bar was quiet apart from Quiz night which was good fun. Staffing was sparse and when the kitchen was accidentally locked we couldn’t find anyone to open it. However a great place to stay.
