Stayed here for three days as a solo traveller and was well looked after by Dadeo the hostel owner, who made sure I got my brekkie on time every morning, and got my laundry done on time. It was the cheapest place I stayed during my entire trip in Costa Rica and I would highly recommend it. It is basic... More

I had booked 3 double rooms for our family of 6, through Hostelworld. Booked it 4 months before as I was worried about getting rooms just before Christmas. One month before our arrival I mailed with the manager, Carmen, and confirmed that we wanted 3 rooms. When we arrived at the hotel in the middle of the day she was... More

My review will be a little biased because the owner was not here when we stayed, so I'm sure it would have been better. First off, the sheets were dirty, the pillow had mold, the room smelled musty, and overall it just wasn't clean. I'm not sure if this was due to the rain or what, but regardless it wasn't... More

Posada Inn is very well run by Carmen. She hosts you and gives all information and support you may need. Clean rooms with hot shower were OK, but her attention and the breakfast was what made the difference. The breakfast had the best Gallo Pinto we eat in all Central America. It was also important for us to have secure... More

When I first I arrived I was immediately greeted by Elena. She quickly made me feel at ease, showed me around the hostel, and offered suggestions around La Fortuna. I spent a few afternoons lazily sitting in the rocking chairs in the front. Throughout my stay the hostel staff was very accomodating. The hostel is in a great location a... More

This was the least expensive place we stayed on our whole trip, and for $35 a night for both of us, it couldn't be beat. The rooms were definitely simple (as expected). We did get hot water, but it took quite awhile and didn't last too long. They also did laundry for us on site, which was great. Breakfast was... More

Granted, it's not really the hotel's fault, but we were misled to believe the price was $17 per night. NOT $17 per person.(There are 2 of us) The guy who told us this had been a tenant there for many months, and he showed us our room while the clerk was away. We confirmed "$17 for the room" he said...

We went to La Fortuna from Monteverde not excepting a great experience (lots of people had told us how much more touristy and naff it is in relation to Monteverde) but we were pleastantly surprised. Yes it solely exists as a town due to the now dormant volcano and the hot springs and as such has a pretty large tourist... More

Excellent hostel with nice garden area to chat with other travelers. Great location, only a short stroll to the centre of town. Big, clean rooms, we had a private double. Friendly, helpful staff. Carmen makes a tasty, big breakfast! The kitchen can also be used by guests. She also helped us with shuttles, taxis and tickets to Baldi Hot Springs.... More

We stayed for 4 nights in a room with private bathroom and if we ever go back to la Fortuna we'll stay at Posada Inn again because everything there was excellent. The room was quite big (1dbl bed+1 bunk bed but we were just 2), hot water in the shower, little outdoor (but covered) kitchen to cook, view over the... More
