The excellent service and food make it up for the modest accommodation. Better than in a 5 star hotel! Located in the downtown of Fortuna, you can easily explore by foot the entire city. Don’t look too far for dinner locations, the restaurant of the hotel is outstanding.
We loved every second here. Many thanks to all wonderful people who looked after us!

What you want in an adventures vacation time? A comfortable bed and bath, with hot water, breakfast included at an excellent service restaurant Maria Bonita, great surroundings for shopping, tours coordination and night live. Definitely, it worth the money, and we recommend it if you come to Costa Rica to visit their spectacular nature's sites.
So this place is a little tucked away gem and we are glad we stayed. The pool and restaurant on site were great! Luis and Vanessa were amazing at the front desk. The way you are welcomed with drinks was a lovely touch! Also if you were looking to do anything they would let you know what was best and book for you. And even tell you things you didn't even know about like Arenal 1968 Trail. And the location was amazing being able to just walk all around town. Also every night we stayed I was able to park right out front and they have 24 hour desk service so it was awesome. You would not be disapointed in your stay here.
We stayed here for one night. It’s a great location in the center of La Fortuna which makes it easy to get to La Arenal and hot springs. It’s a no-frills clean place with friendly staff. Fun to see the art that is in the lobby.
Used this hotel as a base to explore the Arenal area; stayed for 2 nights.
Pros:
- Great location - it is right in the middle of La Fortuna, with all the restaurants and supermarkets within easy walking distance, so a great place to stay if you do not have a car.
- Room had A/C and was quite spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the small pool in the center of the hotel complex. Pool looked nice as well although didn't use it.
- Very tasty breakfast which consisted of a fruit plate and either the traditional Costa Rican or American breakfast plate, served to you poolside in an open air space.
- Staff all spoke good English so was easy to communicate with them; there was daily cleaning of the room.
Cons:
- Shower pressure was fairly weak, but was otherwise nice and hot!
- Wifi was mostly ok but sometimes disconnected.
- Note that there are no elevators but it's only ground / first / second floors - if you don't want to climb stairs with luggage, ask for one of the accessible rooms on the ground floor.
My partner and I stayed here on the second leg of our tour of Costa Rica
We stayed for 3 nights in total
It's in a good location, you are literally surrounded by bars, restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream stores, shops etc. There is a nice park opposite also
The hotel is very clean
He room is basic but clean and has a small private balcony
We only used the restaurant for breakfast, which was good. There is a very small pool there but we did not use
The staff are extremely friendly and very very helpful
Highly recommend the sloth tour which is about a 10 minute walk tour your left as you come out the hotel
If there was one thing that would have made this perfect it would be to have a safe in the room -even if you had to hire it or pay a deposit, I'm sure this is something that all guests would appreciate
All in all a fantastic stay
