I travelled to La Fortuna to see the sights on a budget...I got a clean, comfortable room in a safe area close to el centro. A/C, hot shower (real ones, not the electric "suicide showers"), and fast WiFi for $42 per night all in. The owner was incredibly helpful and even refused a tip after all he had done to... More

El volcan is a reasonably priced no frills budget hotel very close to city center. The place looks more like a home with many rooms than a real hotel.

I was traveling with a colleague while in Costa Rica, playing by day and working by night, and Hotel El Volcan was just what we wanted -- an inexpensive, clean, quiet room with a good Internet connection. We ended up working at the table in their covered common area for several hours. Afterwards, we walked to the town square and... More

Overall a great hotel! The guy at the front desk was super nice and helpful, and the room was clean and spacious. Great location, only two blocks from the center street and plaza, and on a good day you can see the volcano perfectly from the entrance of the hotel. The hotel also offers breakfast of either gallo pinto or... More
