Stayed here with a group of friends to see the Volcano region and was highly impressed by the hotel. This was a real pleasure: clean rooms, spacious and large, and AC. It allowed us to catch up on much needed rest after days of backpacking in Costa Rica. Definitely worth it and highly recommended. more

We spent $60-70 a night on this hotel and, for that money, we got a lot. The hotel was recently renovated and has everything you would want in a hotel, although we could have used a phone in the room. The shower leaked on the rest of the floor, which was a problem but not a huge issue. We also... more

This hotel was clean, and in a good spot for seeing Arenal Volcano. We spent little time there, other than to sleep. The front desk was very helpful and scheduled tours for us easily. We toured the volcano and the hot springs, and later went into La Fortuna to explore the bars and restaurants. It was very close to U.S.... more

Front desk greating was great by Manrique who speaks english. He was very helpful and accomodating. Alonso at the resturant/bar was faboulous and accomodating. We talked about fishing and he brought us fresh Guapote he had caught a couple of days before and prepared it for us. It was great. Only downside to the hotel is no pool to refresh... more

This hotel was by far the best hotel we stayed at in Costa Rica. It is aesthetically amazing inside and out, has a very enjoyable menu and accompanying restaurant that opens on to the street. The staff are very professional, friendly, and never hesitant in offering you all the information they have on the surrounding areas and services on offer.... more

Hotel La Fortuna is an excellent choice for the money-conscious traveler. The rooms are very clean and come furnished with air conditioning and a TV. I also enjoyed the spacious bathrooms. As for the staff, they are friendly and accommodating. I booked all my tours through them and they were able to give me favorable prices to the tours. The... more

Just came back from Costa Rica. My son and I stayed at Hotel La Fortuna for 2 nights and loved it. It is located in a quiet street off the main street of La Fortuna with many places within a short walking distance. The room was clean, AC, cable TV, free Wi Fi but mainly a great view of Arenal... more

Do not stay at this hotel!! Having booked the hotel via their own website, i turned up and they had lost my booking. We paid for it in cash as they assured us that payment was not taken. On getting home we learnt that the room was charged again AFTER paying for it on the day. It is now 2... more

Best hotel I stayed in Costa Rica. Exactly what I was looking for. Great location, near center of town. Very clean, felt safe. Great water pressure with hot water (unlike some other place that I stayed in Costa Rica). Hotel looks new. Includes breakfast, consisting of toast, fruit, juice, and coffee. Wheel chair accessible. Front desk was helpful. Value was... more

Hotel La Fortuna is perhaps not the most beautiful building in La Fortuna. However, the rooms are excellent and you really get what you pay for. We stayed on the 5th floor and our room offered a great view of both the town and the volcano. The entire hotel feels clean and modern compared to other places we stayed at... more
