Hotel

By Nili Larish

A laid-back family business, Galapagos attracts mainly young budget travelers from Israel. Noisy in the mornings, as there is a grade school nearby, Galapagos features simple dorm rooms with small terraces and uninspiring views. Private rooms bear a strong resemblance to windowless cinderblock cells. Although there is a common area with a large television and a selection of DVDs, Galapagos has no atmosphere to speak of, and is hit-or-miss if you are looking for a hub to meet others. Still, for $6 a night, the traveler on the tightest of budgets will find Galapagos to be an adequate choice.

This is a very good place. The family that owns it is friendly, but the best part is the big breaksfast.
