Booked the day of, very friendly front desk staff! Room was big and bed comfortable. Water pressure good. Breakfast a great perk! Enjoyed the grounds, river, birds and pool. The 12:00 checkout was nice when not needing to rush. Felt safe walking on streets to/from in daylight but not the same after dark.

Room was comfortable. Decor a bit dated. Bathroom very cozy. Bathroom counter space very limited. Price very reasonable. Receptionist at check-in & out very friendly, welcoming, prompt, efficient, and patient. Onsite restaurant was reasonably priced. Food and drink good. View overlooking river was mostly pleasant. Onsite has frog garden, if inclined to walk among the bushes. Hotel is conveniently located in town for walking access to restaurants, nightlife, and shops. Onsite parking was quite adequate.

We stayed at this hotel as part of a G Adventures tour. Our rooms were large with lots of space to spread out. Beds comfortable. Patio doors open to outdoors. In room safe, mini fridge, free wifi. Access to swimming pool and restaurant. Breakfast included and chosen from a menu rather than buffet style. Close to shops, restaurants and a stream for exploring. Friendly staff assist promptly when there was a problem.

The team at this hotel are top notch! We had a minor issue with the shower and they sent someone to fix it immediately. The grounds are lovely, and the view of the volcano from our room can't be beat! The room was super clean, and the pool was so refreshing after a day of activities. The breakfast they offer every morning is delicious. Hotel is in a great location.

This hotel was perfect for our stay in La Fortuna. It was a short drive from all of the attractions and walking distance from the restaurants in town. The pool was perfect to cool off in during the late afternoon. The included breakfast was the best part, delicious casados and juice, not to mention the great view and wonderful staff. We definitely recommend this place for anyone passing through.

We loved this little hotel so much we came back for another stay two years later. The view of Arenal from our room was breathtaking. We had rooms 107 and 108. Good size rooms, comfortable beds and super clean. Breakfast at the bamboo gardens restaurant on the property was delicious. Easy walk to lots of other restaurants and nightlife downtown, and 10 minute drive to hot springs or la fortuna waterfall.

We were a party of 6 staying here as part of a multi centre tour. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and rooms basic but clean with large bathrooms. The bamboo garden restaurant served really tasty good value lunches . Breakfast gave good choices and bottomless tea and coffee. The town is within easy walking distance with lots of excellent restaurants. We walked to fortuna waterfall but was a little too far uphill! Would recommend this hotel as your base in fortuna

We loved this hotel! The room was very spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful, especially the host and waiter in the small restaurant. The hotel was like a small nature haven within the city. There was a small wooded area with a creek that ran along side the restaurant. Everyday you could see birds, sloths, monkeys, iquanas and even otters playing in the creek. I highly recommend staying here if possible. We were in room 102. Very close to everything.

We had to split our 6 night stay in la fortuna between two places and this, our first stay, was the hands down winner; really no comparison. Especially considering they were within a ten minute walk of each other and about the same price. Our hotel staff, the restaurant staff, the rooms...all were good. The complex is divided and we had a room without a balcony but a great view of the volcano. The best thing is the grounds that include the bending river and flowers and foliage that attract birds, frogs, sloths etc. I forget now the name of the wonderful man at the restaurant (Luis?) but he did so much to make my stay wonderful as i am an avid birder and he knows and enjoys the local creatures. He called me to make me aware of a toucan and a sloth's sleeping place and later in the dark let us know of a nearby sloth moving in a tree and gave us a light to watch. The feeder near the restaurant at breakfast brings in songbirds and the river attracts a variety of birds. In other words, a little nature park and free guide that is better than being in a group and trying to spot a sloth with a laser pointer. When we moved the few blocks to the centre, it was hard to part with the nature and personable staff we left behind.
