We stayed here in 2011 and enjoyed the Capuchin monkeys. The rooms were spartan but clean and the breakfast was typical. Carlos the manager was very good. Stayed there again this year (February 2012). My wife and I were the only people in the place. Place was uncomfortable, not real clean and the manager unresponsive except to repeated requests. Definitely... More

The rooms here are very basic, but if you can handle that it's great! It was comfy, the balcony view on the vegetation was really nice and we go to see a ton of birds, monkeys and butterflies. Just a note of "caution" do not close the balcony door when you are outside because the locking system if quite basic... More

This hotel is centrally located in the small town of Santa Elena. The hotel is down an ally way, off the main road, which makes it quieter than some of the other hotels. Our room was nice; it was high-up in the back of the hotel with a private balcony, two huge windows and a TV. We felt like we... More

we stayed only one night in St. Elena and chose this hotel for our stay here. The staff (1 person) was VERY friendly and helpful. Took our clothes to wash them overnight, booked the next hotel in Manuel Antonio for us an organised a tour in St. Elena. The room was simple, but quiet and clean. The bed was to... More

I stayed two nights in this hotel and I am almost reluctant to give it a bad review as the staff were so kind and helpful to me. It is brilliantly located just off the main street and is beautifully set at the edge of the forest. However the problem is tha tthe rooms were very damp, the bedsheets too... More

Truly the worst place I've ever stayed. I've stayed in $10 hostels that were cleaner and better maintained than this one. Dirty rooms, dirty sheets, dirty bathrooms, broken furniture and awful service. You can tell that the ownership and management of this establishment do not care about the comfort or safety of their guests More

Quetzal Inn is tucked away but very close to town. It is family owned and run and very simple. There are computers with high speed internet in the small lobby and they made a great breakfast for us. And there were monkeys just outside! There are not TVs, no central heating/AC, no alarm clocks, finicky hot water and the bed... More

Having a reception of white faced monkeys and watching raccoons in the the surrounding forest, was the Quetzal inn the perfect place to stay. The rooms were large and clean, and the beds were comfortable. Standing on my veranda I was literally in the forest! The breakfast was delicious and the hotel was a 5 minute walk from town so...

I stayed on Quetzal Inn and I has a new administration. Everything is Ok, the breakfast is including and it was good, the typical in Costa Rica. The women in the front desk speaks English well and we received a good treatment. More
