I would stay here again! Price was great. Location was good. The hostess replied to all my inquiries before and during our stay. She was very sweet and helpful checking us in. She asked us when we would like breakfast, which was simple and good. Place was very clean. The room was small, which I expected. The bathroom and shower were awesome. The facet needed some work, but water came out! If you want morning coffee bring filters and grounds, there is a pot there. There is an amazing bakery that has coffee right around the corner and Jimnez Cafe-goood coffee! Ate tonight at Cocoa cafe-WOW!! ( We got in late the first night and ate at Tiki’s, right next door. It was good, we had a beer and tacos).

The owner was very helpful and accommodating. It felt like we were staying at a friend's house. She had a lot of recommendations for tours. She even ordered us a shuttle for our day trip to Santa Elena Reserve. The shower was huge and had plenty of hot water. There was a hairdryer, refrigerator and coffeemaker (no coffee but I had my own). It was walking distance to a couple restaurants. It was great spot for a couple days!

The staff is very helpful and they even made us breakfast before breakfast time one morning when we had an early tour. The rooms are clean and modern. Appreciated the refrigerator in our room. Walking distance to a big supermarket (Mega Super) and restaurants (we loved Cafe Capucchino. Great place to watch the sunset). Calm location.

A bit far from down town (15 minutes walk).

The staff was so kind and incredibly helpful. They prepared breakfast early to accommodate for our early tour and set up transportation to our excursion. The location is perfect, tucked away in a quiet area which made us feel safe and at home, but still only a walk away from the center of town. This was better than we were expecting for this price!

Nice staff, clean rooms, good price, walking distance to the town of Monteverde. Bathrooms (very clean!) have only the very basic so I would suggest you bring your own toiletries.

Could improve on the breakfast menu, which was included with our stay. Very limited parking ( room for only 2 cars). Room #7 was a larger family room that can accommodate up to 6 people in it. It's the only one on the 2nd floor and the wind was very loud and blew all night, which kept us up. If you're a light sleeper I wouldn't recommend this room during your stay.

The staff was excellent and very helpful in arranging trips and transportation. The breakfast was simple and tasty. The room was clean and sufficient. The location was good. I had everything I needed.

My only small problem was ventilating the room. I get hot easily and I was nervous to leave my slider door open.

The price-quality ratio for this hotel is amazing! The bedroom and bathroom are both quite large and very comfortable. Everything is super clean, the bed sleeps amazing, plenty of room to leave your stuff, there is a small fridge in the room and the shower is amazing. From our room we could watch a beautiful sunset and see the stars at night. Breakfast was good and the lady who runs the hostel was really friendly and helped us to book some tours.

The distance to the city center was 10 minutes by foot and you have to cross a hill on the way. For us this was not really a problem, but for people with mobility problems and no car this might be.

The lady at the reception, Leidy, was extremely helpful and friendly. She made everything possible for us to have a good stay. Thank you!

The parking was limited and tricky to access due to the front road and the limited space. However, the Leidy really helped us with this.
