Grand Hotel Leon Marino Galapagos

This was a lovely hotel close to everything in town. Room was nice, though we had to wait 30 minutes to get our keys. Clean and comfortable, with a decent view of the water. Quiet at night, even though it was close to the main street. Breakfast was perfectly acceptable. We enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here for 4 days. The hotel is 4 min walk to the dock and very close to good restaurants in the area. We stayed in Room 8. The floor almost always feel sticky but we think it’s due to the humidity and being close to the ocean. The shower could use a bit more water pressure; and more hooks to hang the towels. There was no Complimentary water in this hotel, unlike the other hotels we stayed at; no tea kettle or coffee pot. For a grand hotel, this property has very weak almost non-existent Wi-fi in the room. We had to stay on the first floor by the reception to access wifi to check-in our flights and emails etc. We brought this up to the Receptionist, we tried their different wifi access but it’s not functional. We get better wi-fi going to restaurants, cafes, even on a Ferry, & other hotels we stayed at. Needless to say, the smart TV did not work either— not that we are crazy about it. On the positive note, it’s generally clean, they reserve breaKfast table with your name, breakfast was decent, they offer lunch boxes if you need it, the laundry service is good, it has a pool, plenty of seating areas by the lobby. Over-all, it’s a good place but we will consider other options if we come around again.

The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. My room was very clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.

Easy Access to Everything Spacious room with comfortable beds, effective air-con, and fast wifi. Just a short walk to the pier, shops and restaurants. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Tasty breakfast. Helpful staff.

The first room I was given overlooked the courtyard. I found it very claustrophobic. I went straight to reception to request a move. The room I moved to much better. Very comfortable & a small balcony to sit out on. Hotel is not far from the port & Charles Darwin centre.

We were on a tour, so really surprised we landed here. No hot water in the shower. We complained and was told it was fixed but it wasn't. It is also a bit too close to the swamp so you get a bit of a smell. It is another hotel in Galapagos that could do a lot a lot better which having to spend to much.
