I confirmed our stay from May 24 through May 28th after emailing the staff and giving them a credit card authorization form. At check-in, they'll give you the A/C and TV remote. We paid for a standard room (no view), but got room 505 with a GREAT view of the volcano. The room was clean and basic. The queen size... more

Unbelievably clean and new hotel, this was by far the best and most economical hotel I had the opportunity to stay at in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Situated in the quaint downtown area of La Fortuna, the rooms offer a breathtaking view of the Volcano Arenal, as well as a full service Concierge who will book all tours and transportation... more

Two years ago I stayed at the old Hotel Fortuna, but the new hotel is completely different, with 44 rooms, 12 accessible to wheelchair users, beautiful rooms and a gorgeous restaurant and reception. The service is wonderful, the staff friendly, and you get a great view of the Arenal Volcano and surrounding mountains from the second floor to the fifth.... more

This hotel was fantastic, and completely accessible. It was nicer than many hotels in the US. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their English was very good, so it was easy to communicate. The restaurant was the best food we ate during our entire visit to Costa Rica, and all of it was good. Our son is in a... more

A great place when you just need the basics. We had hot showers, somewhat clean accomodations, and quiet. I did have a bat attach himself to my back while staying here, and it took lots of turning in circles, crazy shouts, and such to send the bat off to the rafters. So that was something. more

We stayed at this hotel and found it to be a gem! Hot showers, air conditioning, great pool area, friendly staff, clean rooms, and close to town ~ all for an affordable price! more

We stayed here because the price was low but the hotel seemed to be a good deal in a good location. We were severely disappointed. The room smelled horrible, the bathroom was unclean and the bed was pretty filthy too. I've stayed in some real budget places before, but none as bad as this. The main problem is this place... more

I have stayed here many times. I have also stayed at many local resorts at high multiples of this hotel. The people are very nice. They are not bilingual, but very friendly. Because the relaxation occurs at the local spas, the rooms in the Arenal area are just for resting before the next days activities. These are just above bare... more
