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!

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.

Nice, not more
Hotel looks nice, but it is a little far from the center. Room is very basic and had a noisy air condition. Breakfast is quite basic but o.k. Quite expensive for the value you get

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.

An absolutely beautiful property! Spacious room, helpful owner and staff. Poolside breakfast included! Not quite in the heart of everything but very walkable. Cabs are readily available for the airport or further distances. Very safe. Highly recommended!

Great that they offered late check-out. Breakfast was very basic - they didn't have orange juice (or any other juice), corn flakes (they had granola though), and they didn't have non diary milk.

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.

Sehr gut!
Alles war sehr gut! Der Besitzer David war sehr hilfsbereit und durch ihn, wurde unser Aufenthalt noch schöner, da er uns mit Lokal Tipps weiterhelfen konnte. Sein Angestellter (leider kennen wir den Namen nicht) leistet sehr gute Arbeit und zauberte uns jeden Morgen ein tolles Frühstück. Der Standort ist perfekt und sicher, die Zimmer geräumig und sauber und das wir die Küche für unser Baby noch nutzen durften, war das i-Tüpfelchen.

Nice staff, amenities could have been better
This was a clean hotel in a nice location close to the port (but not too close where you are near the noise). Staff was very nice and friendly. Air conditioning and wifi were nice to have. Room was very basic with barely any amenities and there was hardly ever a staff member at reception if I needed something.
