Guest Reviews

• Heidi (5/5): -
• Martin (6/5): - Neuvěřitelně hlučné místo hned vedle hlavní silnice. Ve spánku jsem si připadal, že spím na silnici a každou chvíli mě musí něco zajet. Hluková těsnost dveří a oken nulová. Když už člověk přežije noc tak je místo pěkné.
• Dafne (9/5): Excelente estadía - Hotel muy céntrico con todas las comodidades y una bonita área común con piscina Nada
• Melanie (9/5): - La piscina y su jardín Demasiado ruido de la calle por las noches
• Daria (9/5): -
• melisa (8/5): -
• Manuel (10/5): -
• De Clercq (7/5): Prima verblijf om rustig te vertoeven, luidruchtige airco wel - Vriendelijke ontvangst, goed zwembad, scherpe prijs, zeer rustig gelegen, goeie douche. De airco maakt veel lawaai en de toilet spoelde niet goed door.
• Maeva (9/5): - Parties communes super, le jardin derrière avec la cuisine, la piscine et la zone détente est très reposante et propre. Les chambres sont d’ailleurs très propres, peut être même l’hôtel le plus propre du voyage. L’emplacement est très bien, à 10 minutes à pieds du centre-ville. Rien de surprenant car cela est bien inscrit dans l’annonce et spécifié par l’hôtel dans un message privé avant l’arrivée mais c’est très bruyant, on entends les voitures comme si elles étaient dans notre chambre. Avec des bouchons d’oreilles nous avons tout de même très bien dormi.
• Eduardo (9/5): -
• Margaret (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay - Kitchen to cook, pool and all really clean, Very helpful staff We knew about the road noise which didn’t bother us x however air conditioning very noisy, dripped and made load noises. Also shame beautiful garden was used as a car park.
• Patrick (8/5): Top - Pool, Lage und die Ausflugsmöglichkeiten
• Lisa (9/5): -
• Chris (7/5): Great place to stay if you are happy with a 10 min walk to town. - Clean rooms. Not too far from the centre (10 mins walk). Nice pool area. Staff were a little over keen to sell tours.
• Jose (9/5): - Lo mejor, la atención de Milly, una bellísima persona. Nos trató fantasticamente. Nos buscó un tour para que nos recogiesen en la puerta. Las zonas comunes son geniales, con una bonita piscina y una zona de cocina y comedor al aire libre. El hotel está a 10 minutos andando del centro de La Fortuna, por tanto la ubicación es buena Quizá la habitación es un poco pequeña, pero suficiente para un par de noches
• Karol (10/5): -
• Yadira (1/5): Mycket trafikljud - Det positiva är att hotellet ligger 5min promenad från El Salto. Hotellet ligger bredvid en trafikerad väg, så det låter väldigt mycket hela tiden och det är svårt att sova. Om man har råd att välja något annat rekommenderar jag att göra det. Hotellet är billigt, men man förstår varför – man får det man betalar för. Om man väljer att bo här bör man vara beredd på mycket trafikljud. Hotellet är också ganska slitet. Det tar ungefär 15 minuter att promenera in till stan.
• Leticia (9/5): - Die Küche ist super ausgestattet und alles ist sehr sauber. Haben uns sehr sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Die Gastgeberin Milly war super lieb und zuvorkommend! Nachts ist es teilweise leider sehr laut
• Clara (7/5): - Really nice pool area and kitchen, milly is super kind and helpful with everything you need. The room had big problems with insects and ants. Got given spray against it but didn’t help. Were ants in the bed and on the walls.
• Martin (7/5): Gutes Transitquartier von der Pazifik- zur Karibikküste - Gemeinschaftsküche mit kostenlosem Kaffee und Garten, viele Vögel zu beobachten sehr einfache Ausstattung, nasse Kleidung läßt sich kaum sinnvoll aufhängen
• Miguel (8/5): - Me gustó la piscina. El aire acondicionado de la habitación tres no funcionaba bien. Nunca enfrió.
• Elder (9/5): -
• Miriam (5/5): -
• Lucy (7/5): Simple, functional accommodation. - Rooms have private bathrooms and good functional A/C. The accommodation is simple and functional. Theres a small pool area as well. There was a leak in my room coming from the sink and when I advised the cleaning lady, she came and saw to it straight away. The hotel is located behind a tour agency and is based on a very busy main road with a lot of traffic throughout the day. I am a heavy sleeper so it didn't affect me too much but the road is very noisy so its worth bearing this in mind before you stay. Be mindful also that they will make you pay for your stay in cash. I personally found this quite annoying as im not comfortable travelling around with a lot of cash. They tried to charge me a bit extra when I got there based on the dollar to colones exchange rate on the iphone calculator (which is old) so make sure you use today's exchange rate when paying.
• Lauren F (7/5): Cheap and cheerful - Cheap and cheerful, easy to walk to town. Nice little pool and chill space out the back. You are warned when you book, but it's on the side of a busy road so traffic is quite loud.
• malcolm (7/5): - Small clean a/c room. pool 15 minutes walk into town . You are warned about road noise well in advance, so there's no point people complaining about it. Feel tea and coffee. Be careful around pool as tiles slippery when wet.
• zamora (8/5): - Instalaciones buenas Mucho ruido de carros
• Maria (10/5): Comfortable and relaxing - Comfortable bed, very attentive staff and lovely open-air communal kitchen and (small) pool area. Only a short 10-15 min walk to the centre and / to the local river for a dip and rope swing.
• Zio Renni (7/5): - Personale gentile, carina la zona piscina e cucina Un po' troppo rumoroso per la vicinanza alla strada
• Lidia Ollé (9/5): - La ubicació, habitació gran, bany privat. No inclou parking però ens van deixar utilitzar-lo. Estava tot perfecte
• Leticia Susana (10/5): -
• Ernest (7/5): -
• Lena (9/5): -
• Katri (9/5): - Good location and a clean room. Temperature and pressure in the shower was very good. Pool and kitchen area was nice. There is traffic noise coming from the street but it was ok with earplugs.
• Shari (8/5): We loved this little hotel. We would return. - Loved everything. It was all we needed for overnight. It was clean. Carla was so helpful! So happy to have a coffee pot/coffee in the morning...and loved cooling off in the pool at the end of the day! Price was affordable. Locks on the doors. We kept having trouble opening room 5 from the outside, but we could not open it from the inside to get out for several minutes! If there were a medical emergency, this is frightening. Perhaps change this lock to a better working one. (Our friends in room 7 had trouble, as well.)
• Lyudmyla (7/5): Budget hotel . - Valué of price. Location in the road little far from downtown .The hotel don’t provide hairdryer .
• Laura (3/5): Todo correcto menos el personal - La piscina y la localización El personal se desentendió totalmente la hora de check in y check out que tienen en booking es falsa
• Michael (5/5): Good value - But beware. - Value is the best I can say. We liked the kitchen area a pool at the back of the property. No hot water. Our showers were Luke warm at best. Rooms 3,4,5,6 (we had room 3) are closest to the highway - road noise. WiFi did not work in the room we had to go to the kitchen area. We booked a tour with Milly - waited 2 hours - no show. Milly made excuses. Use another booking agent…
• Peter (7/5): Für eine Nacht ok - Super Lage, nette Pool Anlage mit Kaffee Sie poolpumpen sind die ganze Nacht gelaufen . Sehr laut kaum zu schlafen
• viviana (10/5): - Hermosos Nada
• Véronique (10/5): -
• Calderon (10/5): Excelente lugar y ubicación. - Excelente ubicación. Y el trato de las personas que se encuentran allí atendiendo. En general todo esta súper bien.
• Segura (9/5): -
• Haylin (10/5): -
• Anthony (8/5): - La piscina y la habitación de estaban muy limpias Todo estaba bien
• Wright (9/5): - Great place for the price.
• Di Olguin (8/5): - El personal, muy bueno. Carla es divina! Estuvo muy atenta. La piscina fue un plus. La cocina genial! La habitación pequeña, pero bien. Habría que mejorar el colchón y actualizar la tv, no tiene conexión a plataformas.
• Haroldo (9/5): -
• Oksana (10/5): -
• Javier (7/5): - Ubicación La habitación que me tocó estaba enfrente de la carretera y había muchísimo ruido
• Bogdana (10/5): - Very nice outside area with a kitchen and swimming pool , Millie is nice and helpful too.
• Reyda (10/5): - Le personnelle était incroyable !!!!!!
• Robert (8/5): - Nice quiet place. Communal kitchen and pool area nice and calm. Milly was a good host and I booked all my tours through her as, contrary to my usual experience, it was cheaper to book with her than going direct to the companies The bathroom was a little cramped and the door to it didn't close properly. Not too much of an issue as I was travelling solo but some might find it awkward
• Aimee (10/5): Clean, affordable and welcoming - We absolutely loved this place. Mili was amazing in welcoming us and making sure we made most of our visit. She definitely has fair tour prices. Our room was super clean and so was the shared kitchen. The swimming pool was amazing for a quick cool down. Nothing really.
• Rodrigo (8/5): -
• Nathalie (8/5): - C’était bien mais très bruyant avec la route tout prêt. Le plus irritant était les fourmis omniprésentes particulièrement dans la cuisine. Les fourmis et le bruit des voiture.
• Shoichi (9/5): -
• Chantal (6/5): Certainly adequate. - Away from downtown. AC unit quite noisy. Room all white, walls and bedding. A bit austere, could use a touch of color, a picture on the wall perhaps. Room could use some hooks for clothing. Access to a broom would be nice.
• Malik (4/5): - Cheap but still overpriced for what it is.
• marielagl89 (9/5): Buen hotel para pasar una noche en La Fortuna - La cercanía al centro de La Fortuna, la piscina muy linda, tienen una cocina bastante equipada, el lugar muy tranquilo y limpio Nos quedamos 2 noches y no hubo limpieza de habitación, tuve que solitar el cambio de paños cuando vimos que no había servicio de limpieza. No aceptan pagos en tarjeta. Solo hay espacio para 3 carros si se quiere que queden dentro del portón.
• Stephen (9/5): Clean and comfortable rooms in a great location with the bonus of a pool. - Great location just a short drive from the main centre. Lovely clean rooms. The outdoor kitchen had everything we needed and the pool was a great bonus. Nothing. Everything was as we wanted.
• Tala (8/5): - The room was exactly what we needed - just a place to rest our heads, incredible value for what we paid, and close enough to walk wherever we needed! Bonus points for the cute little pool in the back and the quaint outdoor kitchen!
• Katherine (10/5): A lovely relaxing stay for 3 nites - This is a great place to stay to meet other travellers to help you decide which tours to do and to have some nice social time. The pool was a great way to cool off and relax at the end of a long day. I also enjoyed the short walk to town to get some steps in :) Although others mentioned finding the traffic noise to be an issue, I slept great. It is more like white noise which wasn’t an issue for me.
• Debra (9/5): Superb - Milly was very helpful and arranged all our tours. The pool was great to cool off, and I loved the shared kitchen facilities. The noise from the road was a bit loud at times but we still had a great time.
• Luke (6/5): Pleasant - The hotel is small and efficient. It feels maybe more like a hostel with private dorms, rather than a hotel? The rooms have good air con and all the necessary facilities, but are not especially comfortable to spend time in as there are no soft furnishings, and very harsh lighting. The outdoor kitchen works but the equipment provided is quite basic. The bathrooms worked quite well; the shower had good pressure. The owner helped us book a transfer to Monteverde at a better price than I could find online. The transfer was perfectly on time and worked really well. The location is on a main road, but the noise did not disturb us. Tiquicia is a nice restaurant (but small!) about 5 minutes walk away, and the supermarket/town centre is about 10 minutes. It was very easy to get Ubers to or from the hotel.
• Chris (8/5): Very good -
• Paul (6/5): Pleasant -
• Inês (6/5): Okay stay in La Fortuna - Good location , 10mins walk from La Fortuna centre; kitchen with essentials and good outdoor area with pool. Room was basic but with air conditioner Bed very uncomfortable and squeaky. SUPER +++ noisy! Hotel is by the national road so all day and all night we could hear cars and trucks passing by, sleepeless nights indeed. And all the guests complained of the same , super bad sound isolation. The “manager” of the place only works from 11:30 to 17:00 but you can message her. Payment in cash on arrival . Towels for pool not provided.
• Booth (6/5): Nice rooms - Lovely clean room good size and we'll maintained. Bathroom was nice provided towels and small soaps and shampoo. Pool was lovely open kitchen area next to it made for a social area. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. Arrived at 10:50 to drop our bags off as informed office opens at 11. Nobody turned up till 12:30 ended up getting the laundry code via text to try and store our stuff in their. Screwed up our plans of going out in the morning. When staff did turn up we were informed check in would be at 14:00 despite it saying 13:00 online. Staff let us put our stuff in our room whilst she cleaned it so we could head off to do our activities. When we arrived back staff shouted over the pool telling us to come over and pay now. Very aggressive and demanding attitude Infront of other guest. Happy for her to come up to us and ask if we can pay now, but yelling across the pool you pay now isn't the best. Also wasn't sure how to check out as nobody was there so ended up leaving the key under the mat. Therefore wouldn't rely on being able to check in or store bags on time. Staff aren't great.
• Tom (10/5): - Swimming pool and walkable distance to downtown
• Jdd (7/5): 3 days in La Fortuna - The tour organiser on site was very good at organising tours. The pool and the kitchen area were nice. The room was clean and there was hot water. The noise from the main road. The hotel is essentially a large wooden cabin and has poor sound insulation. If you are at the end facing the row it can be noisy. A bit of a walk to the centre although got used to it and all tours pick up from the hotel.
• Dominique (9/5): Superb - We had a great 3 nights at the petit hotel . The staff was very friendly and we loved using the outside kitchen next to the pool at night ,the p ool.area is very relaxing and well kept.we would definitely go back when we come back to la fortuna It's on the main road so can be noisy at night
• Anne (8/5): Great place for a couple of nights - Very clean, walking distance to town and river, nice pool and patio with outside kitchen. Friendly staff, parking space. No hot water
• Ekaterina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gordon (9/5): A good place to stay when visiting the local attractions. - Nice clean little room with space for our cases and good bathroom. Use of kitchen and fridge and outside seating area a bonus. Nice pool, although we didn't use it due to the weather. A long walk into town. May have been do-able if the weather had been kinder to us.
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional - Great location just outside town, lovely little pool to chill by and the free coffee in the morning was appreciated. We saw toucans and macaws from the garden which was magical. There is some noise from the road and some noise from a nightclub up the road but probably less than you would have in town and it didn’t bother us.
• Rebecca (4/5): - The road noise is terrible. Room is very basic, but clean. No hot water - luke warm only. Outside area is nice and well equip. it is a short 12-15 minute walk into town.
• Mcvean (10/5): Excellent value for the stay. Would highly recommend. - Pool and communal kitchen area were lovely. The small room was the perfect size, with a private bathroom and a small corner rack for storage. Rooms in the tropics have a little mustiness that's hard to get rid of. To be expected!
• Olga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aliferovich (9/5): Nice hotel with a swimming pool and kitchen - Nice hotel, close to the downtown. Nice kitchen area with possibly to cook and meet other people. Nothing
• JOSEPH (10/5): - “Milly” met me at reception, professional and welcoming. Clean & nice room, cool outdoor kitchen area by pool. Great AC, nice bed. Close to center of town. RECOMMEND!
• Liis (6/5): Pleasant -
• Will (8/5): Very good -
• Bryan (10/5): - Nice place
• Dan (8/5): Great stay - We had a really good stay at La Petit. We were greatly surprised by the pool and outdoor kitchen which was a great space. The rooms were tidy and the air con was very much needed
• Alfa (5/5): It was okay - Clean Quick response Good location Missing hooks or where to put wet clothes to dry Individual mini refrigerator for room Kind treatment from reception
• Alison (7/5): Perfect for a budget stay. - Close to town. Close to river swing. Walkable to waterfall. The pool was great. It was really well maintained- lovely gardens . Saw toucans, iguanas , hummingbirds, frogs from the garden. Outdoor kitchen was amazing. Staff helpful. Mildred booked our trips which were great value compared to other operators offering the same. Traffic noise. Room was a bit like a PGL cabin .
• Ana (8/5): Great option for saving money on your stay in La Fortuna - Room was clean and comfortable. Felt a little small for two people but for the price it is worth it. Pool and shared kitchen space were appreciated. Staff very kind and helpful. Located near city so all tours we booked accepted to pick us up. Self check-in/check-out was great because our shuttles from different locations did not reach the hotel when the front office was open. Street was very loud but this is specifically mentioned by the property on their listing so just make sure to bring ear plugs or headphones if you are a light sleeper. Quiet hours weren‘t really followed by guests but that is out of property‘s control.
• Lucinda (7/5): Bearable room, great pool. - The pool area with outdoor kitchen was great. We saw toucans and parrots from the pool. Milly was great. The room is so small the bed is flush against the wall and it’s hard to move around in the room. There is some traffic noise from the busy road.
• Shaddick (8/5): Very good -
• Michelle (6/5): Pleasant -
• Alex (7/5): Good - Great location just out of town and did have a nice pool
• Michelle (8/5): Very good - We loved the common area. The pool and kitchen were both very clean and a great place to relax and spend time during the evenings. Our room was very clean and the a/c worked well. The location was great and just a quick walk into town. There is a soda just down the road as well as a grocery store. There was no designated parking, however there was room for our rental right out front. There weren't any other guests with vehicles so we had no trouble with parking during our stay. The room was a bit small, we could have used an extra shelf to help keep our bags off of the ground.
• Janna (8/5): Very good - Pool is lovely and the outdoor kitchen was great! It's a little out of town but not too far
• Ilse (8/5): Nice clean accomodation, a bit away from the mail street. - Great facilities, and nice that it is a bit away from the main street so also very quiet!
• Sofia (8/5): Very good - The pool and kitchen It was a little far from the center
• Frederik (9/5): Lovely hotel with great value for money - - outdoor kitchen was nice and cleaned daily - swimming pool - we saw birds and iguanas in the trees around - street is very noisy at night - small rooms
• Michal (10/5): Exceptional - It’s really beautiful and budget friendly place to stay in La Fortuna. The room was clean and equipped with the AC and TV. What we like the most was the pool with outdoor kitchen. 10 minutes of walking distance to the city center.
• Cathy (7/5): Cheap but noisy but has free coffee - The little pool area in the back. Free coffee Very noisy in room 4, may be better farther back? Walls are paper thin
• Anthony (9/5): Superb - Nice garden with a pool and an outdoor kitchen, room were clean and comfortable, staff were friendly and helpfull, plenty of tours availlable at realy good price. Can only pay by cash, no card accepted and a litle to noisy, just next to a really big road with alot of passing cars. I had hardtime falling asleep even using earplug.
