    No landscaping. Unit was a bit small. Did not see staff after initial check-in.

    Easy walking distance to town. Quiet neighborhood. Nice shared kitchen facilities. Secure gate. Effective AC unit.

    It’s hard to find. There’s a hotel next door that directed us to it. Maybe they will get a sign later! We stayed twice in 3 days (Sun and Tues) Both times our air conditioning didn’t work and a technician was called and luckily it was able to be fixed but it was so hot and we needed it because it was 35 degrees. We went out to walk and find dinner and the room was cool when we returned each time. Minor annoyance and the staff were very apologetic each time! 😊

    There is no breakfast. It’s a new hotel so super clean and comfortable. The property feels secure as there is a gate that is locked at 6pm - only guests have the code. As two females this was important to us. And we walked everywhere in La Fortuna town from here very easily. Go to the chocolate shop! There is a great view of the Arenal volcano from the shared kitchen area.

    There is no reception desk or office so when you check-in you will have to arrange the time because they take cash. The noise from neighbors(not the guests) was there I cant figure out where it came from but i could hear some non stop gossip haha.

    They have a laundry area so that you can do it for traveling! They have a sloth lol

    We stayed there one night and again 2 nights later. Each time the a/c didn’t work when we arrived. The woman in charge called a technician both times to fix it and it was fixed by the time we got back from eating dinner. This was great but even better would have been if she made sure it was working before we arrived especially the second time. She is young and the property is new and very clean so I’m sure with time this place will improve even more.

    This property is not well marked from the outside and we had to ask at a nearby hotel where it was. When we found it there is no reception the woman lives a few doors down. Once we found her it is beautiful, very new looking and no issues at all to report. The ac wasn’t working when we arrived but she had it dozed by the time we returned from dinner. The gates are locked and you leave and enter with a code after 6pm so we felt safe and secure at the property. We asked for more towels and they were provided with no issues.

    Other than hearing someone in another unit showering and flushing the toilet (typical hotel noise), there is no downfall to this place.

    Great location. We could walk to many restaurants, yet it was on a quiet street. The 2-bedroom suite was perfect for my husband and me and our adult daughter and her boyfriend. The managers/owners were a lovely family. Even though we didn’t use it, you could do your laundry on site. Best of all, there was a sloth in a tree in the parking area.

    The living area, bedroom, and bathroom are all on different levels and it is hard to see this at night. A safety light at each step or different-colored flooring might help avoid a stubbed toe. Check-in was a little weird - a fellow guest told us to go two doors down the street and knock at an unmarked location to find the owner and get the key (after that, all was good).

    The location was excellent and only three-blocks to the center of La Fortuna. The room was nicely equipped and clean. Access to a washer and dryer was a nice bonus. The owner, Franklin, was very nice and easy to work with.

    One of the best Hotels we had on our trip. Beautiful look on the vulcano and nice rooms overall. The location is central but not noisy. Its all new and modern especially the bathroom. The highlight was the resident sloth. Franklin and Melissa are absloutly lovely and helpful. We had a flat tire and Franklin took us to a workshop near the hotel to fix it. I would recommend to stay here.

    We had a little trouble with drainage in our shower, though they were very sorry and tried to fix it immediately. You can also hear if people are talking outside your room.

    The highlight has to be Pepé, the resident sloth 🦥 . We loved looking for him every time we came and left. You also see a lot of birds as well. The property is very centrally located with several restaurants located nearby. Marlisa is also very nice and helpful regarding finding appropriate tours.

    There's a river that makes a lot of noise (room 108). Of course, if you like river's sound, it shouldn't be an issue. Also, when taking a shower, the water is sometimes going out which makes a small flood in the bathroom. The wifi connection is sometimes not working well.

    Nice and clean place in the center of La Fortuna! The room is very modern and beautiful. Melisa, the staff is one of the most kind person I've ever met in my life :) She gave me good suggestions and also helped me find a solution to go to the airport! I am so grateful to have met her.

    As of my stay, the hotel only takes cash payment. I may have overlooked this when I booked but I ended up having to find an ATM in order to pay. The owner was very accommodating however, and still let me check in and drop off my belongings before I went to find an ATM.

    This is a newer hotel and the rooms are very nice and clean. There is a shared kitchen and laundry area. It was very quiet and the location is perfect for walking around La Fortuna.

    The staff is super friendly and they helped us with everything we needed. There is a laundry facility available to use. The room is comfortable and clean. The garden is a place visited by various birds, squirrels and a home for a sloth, who is chilling on a tree. The location of the hotel is also very good, in a quiet neighborhood and with a lot of facilities in walking distance.

    Our bed was a bit firm for us. We are also used to a larger bed, but it was fine for a few nights. We could have used a little more shelving or extra side table, but the family that owns the hotel were literally making more furniture by hand while we stayed there. Some hooks in the bathroom would be helpful to hang wet towels.

    Lovely boutique hotel. Air conditioning was great, large private bathroom, laundry room, free parking available, daily sightings of resident sloth and iguanas on property. 2nd floor guests were nice and we all shared a modern kitchen, which allowed us to chat periodically. Very kind staff/owners who pointed out Pepe in the trees, the resident sloth.
