Good, quiet location half way between Port/Concha de Perla and the town. Clean, comfy, large room with nice bathroom. Staff were very friendly. Good air-conditioning and WiFi.
A little pricey. Couple of small windows that didn't have blinds. Shame we couldn't get a late checkout particularly as the hotel was empty 😞

The vibe was great! We had a good time just chilling in the lounge on the second floor. The manager (Jose) and all other staff were super friendly and helpful. We had a boat at 5:30am and Jose got up at 5 to make sure we had some coffee and bread before we departed. The location was also great - 10mins walk to the main street for food and 5mins walk to the pier and Concha y Pearla (this is the best location for snorkeling on Isabella cuz you dont need a tour or a boat and you just dive in, and this became our usual hang-out sport after breakfast). In fact the hotel is one of the few hotels that are close to the ferry.
The water pressure was unstable. The manager arranged another room for us. The situation became better after we changed rooms, but was still somewhat unstable.

The staff is friendly, the breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is great - it's in between the main town area and the pier (where you can snorkel and see the sea lions, iguanas and crabs hanging out), so a short walk to both.
Internet isn't great but that was common in the Galapagos. We paid more money than it looked like others were charging for the tours they arranged for us but we never figured out why that was so I would say shop the tours.

Wooden House is a great little boutique B&B run very efficiently by young Jose. It is walking distance from the pier - we took taxis because of luggage but they are very cheap. It is an easy walk from the hotel to the beach and town in one direction and in the other to the best self snorkeling area ever, Concha de Perla (near the pier). The hotel's aesthetic reminded me of a Japanese house - all wooden with sliding doors, nice cool and breezy common sitting area just outside the rooms on the upper floor which has a good view of the ocean across the street. The breakfast is excellent and Jose was very accommodating about having it ready before early trips. We also had dinner and drinks there which is very convenient. There was always hot water for showers, plenty of drinking water, water for brushing teeth as tap water can't be used for that, convenient drying line outdoors, onsite laundry service, convenient outlets for charging phones, batteries, etc. Jose is very helpful with information about sight seeing locations, restaurants, calling for taxis, and arranging trips - like the excellent one to the highlands when we had a spare morning. There is a place onsite for rental snorkeling gear, wet suits, etc. The staff were friendly and kept the place very clean.
I did not realize that the hotel is located on the heavily traveled main road from the pier to the town. So, it can get noisy with all the trucks going up and down when ferries/tours arrive and depart. The room we had was small with the bed occupying most of it. There is no safe in the room, so be prepared to lock your suitcase if you need to. The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors and sounds from the kitchen and dining area - we were lucky in that we were the only ones in that wing/hotel for most of our stay. Wifi is slow which can be a problem when it comes to paying with a credit card - we ended up having to pay with cash. Luckily we had enough to cover our stay.

Nice place, very helpful owner with excellent English who kindly got us last-minute reservations for a volcano tour. Tasty breakfast in the outdoor patio. Our room was clean and pleasant.
Our room was pretty small. Location is close to the dock but a dusty walk to town. I sent a couple messages via Booking.com before our trip and never heard back. Like elsewhere on Isabela, the wifi is extremely limited. Note that the hotel prefers to be paid in cash.

WOW!! if you’re thinking ab this place, book your stay NOW! This was my absolute FAVORITE place in all of Isabella. the facilities are simply AMAZING, breakfast is delicious and plentiful, the woodwork is so beautiful and tasteful. and most of all the owners and employees make you feel like a family, in their kindness and care. for example, the owner asked me what tour I was doing and reminded me to wear sneakers because of the lava rocks & told me to rent wet suits when I was there because the water would be very cold. they helped me grab last minute ferry tickets in that moment, quite late in the night. further, after the most wonderful week here, I left my phone charging in the reception area and accidentally left for another island! I realized the moment I got on the ferry, and I was so scared because attached to my phone is my credit cards, ID, even a bunch of cash. anywhere else, anyone could have easily taken it and walked away, gone. but not at the wooden house. they messaged me right away on booking telling me not to worry, and it so happened the owner was coming to Santa Cruz and BROUGHT MY PHONE DIRECTLY TO MY DOOR of my next hotel. the level of integrity, honestly, kindness, compassion, and love in the management of the wooden house is unparalleled to any where else in the whole world. I am genuinely so grateful, & I will come back here again and again.
I loved everything. ( :

Its very peaceful place, rooms are clean and big and beatiful ! Its only 5 min. walking to the harbour and to concha de perla - great place for snorkeling and for free !
There is no TV in the room, what I prefer, but the working people there have one in the lobby and she is watching the most of the day spanish series...not so nice if you want to relax...

Jose Carlos took such great care of us during our stay and helped to coordinate one of our last minute tours. Closest hotel to Concha de Perla snorkeling and to the FERRY PIER. Restaurant meals on site upon request (breakfast was included). Great facilities for scuba/snorkelers wanting to rinse gear and hang dry safely outside.
