Good location and fairly quiet. I asked for a room away from the street and they were able to switch me into it. Breakfast is very basic, just eggs, toast, and some apples/oranges.

This was an oasis every day as we came back from our excursions. It is absolutely central and walkable within a 1 minute walk to restaurants, shops, and 3 min from the port, yet on a side street so peaceful. Capitan Max was accesible all the time providing info, making our breakfast, handing us towels and a backpack to the beach. The place is so beautifully decorated, the rooms even have a hammock, and the breakfasts are delicious and abundant. Also, there is always avail water, tea, hot cocoa, and bananas on the counter throughout the day. Everything was excellent!

Captain Max B & B is great. Located in a quiet area but only a few blocks from the center of restaurants, shopping, and the pier. The amenities are great like all day coffee/tea bar, filtered water, a safe in the room, and a carafe of drinking water in your room. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff is helpful and friendly. My only regret was that I couldn’t stay longer. This place is good value for the price. It is a must stay place if you are in Puerto Ayora.

Great location and host

Capitan Max was the perfect place to start our Galapagos trip. The hotel is conveniently located a 5 minute walk from the main pier on the way to Tortuga Bay. Max arranged our transfer from the airport and arranged another taxi for us the following day to take us to the highlands for the giant tortoises. We only managed to eat breakfast once during our stay as we had to leave early for day trips but the breakfast was good. The room was clean and pleasant with good aircon.
