Hotel Cipreses

This is a quite, clean, small hotel. The staffs are very friendly. The garden is pretty. Our rooms are at 2nd floor, and the balconies are connected together, very convenient to sit outside. There are two ceiling lights, but I cannot turn them on at first, the room is dark with only table lights. Later I figured out there is a switch behind the curtain, I can turn one ceiling light on, the other may be broken. Anther thing you have to remember is you have to use the key to lock the door from outside or inside. The first time I left the room I didn’t locked the door, the 2nd time I stayed in room changing clothes and the door is still not locked ;-) I guess people living here are used to this kind of door locks.

Location was good but the hotel was a bit rundown. Rooms were small with just the beds, a tv and a chest with mirror. The tv was technically blocking the mirror. Water was barely warm and there were stray dogs in the property all the time. For the money we paid we expected a better room with ameneties..

Nice hotel to stay in, comfortable rooms though WiFi was weak in the room. Breakfast was really nice and filled you up for the day.

The people at Hotel Cipreses were GREAT! Would like to especially thank Louis who went out of his way to make sure our visit was a good one.

Very spartan room. It’s clean and was insect free but the door rattled with every gust of wind. We were only here one night but were able to do a night tour and then early morning tour of the nearby parks. Keep in mind you’re staying at an inexpensive room in a jungle and don’t expect this to be a luxurious room. Bring shampoo and soap!

Super nice staff - quiet hotel 10 min walk to town. Great breakfast!!

Close to the center and the salvatura park. Breakfast was delicious! Hotel very clean. Staff friendly! It's true what the reviews says that the walls are very thin, but people are respectful and there was no noise after 10pm. We went 2 families with kids (4 kids between age 5 and 9) and we would go back!

This a lovely hotel located within a short walk to the little town of Santa Elena. We had a nice view of the mountains from the window and enjoyed the typical Costa Rican breakfast each morning. The room was fairly basic, but bed was comfortable and there was extra space on the side of the room to store our suitcases. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. We were able to book a last minute night walk with them for that night. Room was clean and property was quiet. Parking on site.

You can hear everything in the hotel rooms to the point where you can hear the conversations and every word that is being said in addition to the car noise outside. You can also tell that there is mold growing in the corners and near the shower from water leaks. The largest problem we had was that we asked if they could call a taxi for us early in the morning to make it to our next destination and there was no taxi or staff to assist. We figured it out ourselves luckily, but were extremely frustrated after a terrible stay from extremely noisy neighbors and traffic and that being the cherry on top. Two positives are that the staff seem friendly though some of them speak limited English so make sure your Spanish is okay and that they promptly fixed the patio door lock as it was broken when we got in. We strongly regretted not paying more and staying elsewhere.
