      3 days in La fortuna”

      I stayed here with 2 of my friends in a private room because it was inexpensive and we wanted the social aspect of a hostel while still traveling as friends. Our room was spacious and cleaned daily. The shower had good pressure, the beds were fine but after all it’s a hostel. Rommel the guy that works at the front desk most days was a massive part of our stay and a huge reason you should stay at this hostel. He knows every and anything there is to do at la fortuna and even a bit of Monteverde and always has the best deals on tours. We really liked the vibe of the other travelers staying there and everyone would hang out on the couches in the main area and just talk the night away (needed in a town that closes at 9/10pm. Free breakfast was easy and yummy but if you stay longer than 2-3 mornings you will get sick of it. Highly recommend this hostel if for no other reason than for the front desk staff Rommel!!

      Top location, nice place, good for all ages”

      Conveniently located 2 min walk from the main square and restaurants, but far enough to have a peaceful night sleep with no road noise. Nice breakfast. Shared spaces are well kept with groomed plants and hammocks. There are electric bikes for hire. The free spa is the river Cholito, which is free anyway, but they provide a free shuttle to it at a random time in the afternoon. The maintenance person was really helpful and fixed my toilet and shower promptly. Shower was good and hot. Rooms are clean, spacious and have functional furniture. Lady at reception was ok, just seemed uninterested, while the other guy was really helpful and more socially inclined. All in all, good value, pleasant experience and I'd stay again.

      Honestly with the wide gap between hostel and resorts in the area this is definitely a great choice. The staff was helpful, facilities were clean, and the free breakfast in the morning was AMAZING. There is a free shuttle in the later afternoon to the hot springs. Which is really a river with pockets to sit in where the water is very warm. Nice after a long day of hiking. Bring a 6 pack (cans) a d relax but don't expect maitai service.

      Showers nearly not usable. Water goes against the wall would be so easy to fix but they dont care. water is cold most of the time. When your clothes are wet from pouring rain you still pay for per messured weight when doing laundry. Comment from staff :'its no problem for us that your clothes are heavy from the rain". Kitchen runs out of items like forks, dirty. The hotel is not attractive at all, very crowded backpacker place. You can get increadible hotels outside Fortuna for cheaper.

      Deceiving Fake Profile Pictures”

      Asked the guy at the desk where this was (the main profile picture of people in a hot spring pool). He said he didn’t know… Also the weighed my laundry wet and charge by the kilo. They told me they would weigh it after dried but then didn’t and wouldn’t when I asked and said they gave me their word that they would. The free shuttle is also tricky. Makes it sound much better. They sell a $20 unlimited bud pass but the free one goes out at 1pm and sometimes 3:20.
