Breakfast was enjoyable, and the restaurant staff were friendly and polite. However, the hotel room and grounds could benefit from some well needed updates to enhance the overall guest experience.

Nice room to stay for a few days. Nothing fancy but conveniently located.
There is a nice restaurant on the property as well.

A very comfortable and affordable stay. Rooms were clean, breakfast was nice, and the parking area was easy to use. I'd suggest this location if you would like an affordable place to sleep, but not necessarily somewhere to lounge all day (as the pool is very small).

A nice convenient stay near the centre of La Fortuna. Easily walkable to shops and restaurants. Beds were comfy and clean and the staff were all very helpful. The restaurant for breakfast was in a lovely spot! The hotel feels a little dated but that had no impact on our comfort or experience.

We found our 2 night stay perfect for the location and proximity to the attractions we were headed too. The free breakfast included was a great touch and plenty of restaurants to walk too nearby. Quiet hotel for being on a main road and security onsite after hours.

We spent 3 nights and we're delighted with the included breakfast, small pool and staff was very helpful, top notch cleanliness and very well maintained garden. Only thing maybe WiFi could be better but we had cell service. Definitely a good option that provides value for money.
