We booked several nights here and it was one of the best choices we made. The hosts helped us on numerous occasions with advice, guidance, collected us from the ferry, and booked our taxi for the airport. The room provided was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable and firm which was just what we needed upon our return from our daily tours. It is not far from the seafront and main street. There is a laundry on the corner, which was very convenient, and a lot of local shops, and nice cafes down the road. We would definitely stay there again. ##### MEMET Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miyu Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay at this hotel! The owners offered us help in so many ways, such as recommending us a bilingual tour guide and even lending their phones to contact the coordinator, undertaking laundry and boxing breakfasts when we had to go out early in the morning. The property was very clean and the housekeeper even washed our cooking equipment left in the kitchen. The breakfast was delicious and professional. They also helped us transport our luggage to the next hotel when we were out on a tour. It is about a 7-10 minute walk from the city center. I highly recommend this hotel! ##### Miyu Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott May 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay. The hotel is in a nice quiet residential neighborhood, yet very walkable to restaurants and shops. The wifi was fast and dependable. The bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning worked well which was welcome each day after a day out. We chose not to spend the additional $8 a day for breakfast. The room was very clean! The staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing lacking was guidance on places worth visiting while on the island of Santa Cruz, although a recommendation was made by Julio for a travel agent we could contact. Overall, Hotel Palace is a great place to stay. ##### Scott Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good option Staff was amazing. Very helpful and wanted to make sure your needs were met. Always hot showers and good working air conditioning. Appreciated the water in the lobby to refill bottles and they even put a jug in each room too. Location was a bit outside the central area but we always walked it, even in dark and it was safe. It was only like a 10 - 15 minute walk. We took a cab from the ferry with our luggage and it was only $2\. They booked us a cab to go to the airport ferry for us. Very prompt in responding to emails and I had a lot of questions so very patient too! ##### Sandra Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### richard Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Decent room in Puerto Ayora ##### richard Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Personal amable, habitación amplia, camas cómodas, Wi-Fi de alta velocidad, ducha con cabezal y agua caliente para las estaciones frías. ##### Claudia Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 街中に近く快適なホテル 街の中心部から近くて部屋も快適です。朝ごはんも美味しくいただきました。 空港に向かう乗り合いタクシーのアレンジも代行してもらい、出発時間の相談もしてもらえて助かりました。 部屋も綺麗で快適なのですが、音が気になりました。夜雨が結構降っていたのですが雨の雫がトタン屋根の上に落ちるような音が断続的にしたので音に敏感な人は気になるかと思います。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 18, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The hotel stuff are very friendly and helpful. It has been in short of water for two nights after a hot day (maybe a general issue in the island). They did try to help and provided a small bucket of drinking water for us to clean the face before the water came back in the morning. The hotel is clean and quiet. The breakfast is exceptional. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really great place to stay, has all the comforts and cleanliness you could hope for! We will for sure come back next time we’re in Santa Cruz. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Days Inn by Wyndham Leamington](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Leamington.h970783.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Seattle Bellevue/Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Seattle-BellevueDowntown.h18023731.Hotel-Information) > > [Breathless Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Breathless-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h11868477.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Pincher Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Pincher-Creek-Hotels.d56433.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Hinton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinton-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Hinton.h9769746.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Castle-Inn-And-Suites.h20945.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in France](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-France-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d59-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hostels Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hostels.d178307-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Santa Marta (SMR) to Bogotá (BOG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/smr/bog/santa-marta-to-bogota) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Québec City (YQB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/yqb/moncton-to-quebec) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Stockton (SCK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sck/toronto-to-stockton) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Liverpool (LPL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lpl/montreal-to-liverpool) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to North Battleford (YQW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yqw/winnipeg-to-north-battleford) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dhaka (DAC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dac/toronto-to-dhaka) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Indianapolis (IND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ind/winnipeg-to-indianapolis) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to McAllen (MFE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mfe/toronto-to-mcallen) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yyz/winnipeg-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Green Bay (GRB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/grb/winnipeg-to-green-bay) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Florence (FLR) to Kastela (SPU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/flr/spu/florence-to-split) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/lhr/edmonton-to-london) > > [Flights from Penticton (YYF) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyf/sea/penticton-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Fargo (FAR) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/far/pvr/fargo-to-puerto-vallarta) ### Activities ### Packages > [McCormick Place](https://www.expedia.ca/McCormick-Place-Near-South-Side.d6069191.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
