Todo muy bonito. La piscina también. Solo que alrededor de la piscina es de piedra y mi hija se cortó. El televisor no tenía cable y apesar de nosotros ser 3 en la reservación, solo habían dos paños. Aparte de eso estuvo bien. El desayuno estuvo delicioso.

If you want a convenient and clean place to stay you will not be disappointed. However, the road noise is very loud. We changed to a different hotel after one night so we could sleep. Not the hotel’s fault, just the reality of the situation.

Location was perfect for our purposes of the race that was starting accross the street. It was easy, safe and convenient. My only recommendation is to add small refrigerators to the rooms.

Beau petit hôtel bien situé pour accéder au Parc national et aux bains nombreux dans la région. La piscine est agréable et constitue un bel avantage. Toutefois, il manque d'espace dans la salle de bain.

Good budget friendly option

I recently stayed at a hotel in La Fortuna and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The hotel offered fantastic value for the price, providing top-notch amenities without breaking the bank. Its convenient location made exploring the town and nearby attractions a breeze. One of the highlights was the effective air conditioning, which was a welcome relief after a day of adventuring in the warm Costa Rican climate. Overall, I found this hotel to be an excellent choice for travelers seeking affordability, convenience, and comfort in La Fortuna.

Worth staying

Hotel in the outsides and it is more of a motel style but definitely worth staying. They have running hot water, comfortable beds and the most important, they have air conditioning. Restaurants are walking distance but the only down side is since it is next to a main road, you can head certain big cars.

What I really appreciated here was the service. The receptionist were all nice and helpful. The pool was clean and breakfast was very good. The place is a liitle outdated but kept clean. The only negative thing I can say it is noisy because it is situated on a busy street.

Nos dieron una habitación en el segundo piso. La carretera principal pasa al lado del hotel y el ruido de los carros y motos, no dejo que durmieramos bien. A las 4:30 paso una moto haciendo tanto ruido que nos desperto y no pudimos dormir mas. La habitaciónn y el hotel son bonitas y limpias, pero el ruido lo hace muy incomodo para dormir.
