Great value. The staff was amazing, super friendly and helpful. They cooked personalized breakfast for each guest in the morning. The room itself was okay (stayed in a standard room). Walking distance to the grocery store, restaurants, and the Sloth Tour. Can’t forget about Bruno, the hotel’s French Bulldog was super cute!

Nice property with simple rooms close to La Fortuna centre. The room balcony had a volcano view. Reception staff very helpful and friendly. It's right next to a Sloth walk, which made it very easy to get there for the 8.00am start!

A Solid Experience
The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The location was excellent for all of our activities and just a short walk from lots of restaurants and shops. The traditional breakfast was delicious. The only issue was the hot water, which kept cutting out in the middle of the shower. Otherwise, it was a very good experience.

If you are looking for peace and quiet in La Fortuna this hotel isn’t it! I really didn’t want to give this hotel such a low rating however my last day there broke the camels back. I am well travelled, I can overlook a lot of things. The old and tired decor however the rooms are clean. The staff are friendly and helpful . The hotels small pool area is well kept. The breakfast is good. The room has the bare basics, towels and soap. There are no drinking glasses in the room. There is no hot water for taking showers, you might get lucky with lukewarm at best( last day) otherwise expect cold water. The mirror vanity combo strategically placed over the sink provides for some fun attempting to brushing your teeth. Wifi is a hit or miss. Room card key or door deprogrammed a few times locking me out of the room. All minor inconveniences. What was so bad about this hotel to receive this poor rating you ask…..there is a bar a block down the road that starts blasting (and I mean blasting) its music at decimals that would break ones eardrums. Wednesday to Sunday From 1 pm to 2:30 am. The bass and sound level of the music is like you are sitting right there however you are a block away. Even ear plugs failed it was that loud. The hotel doesn’t inform you of this detail up front and then minimizes it in an email after you book their non refundable room. So if you are looking for party central and love loud music through the day and into the early morning hours this is your place !

This is just on the outskirts of town, close enough to walk to everything but far enough that you’re not right in the middle of everything. The hotel is basic, a little run down and old fashioned (decor-wise) but it’s extremely clean and the pool area is quite lovely for a small space. The breakfast is good. This worked for us since we were not there much, except to sleep.
