This is a nice Hotel/Motel type one block off the main street of La Fortuna. Rooms are clean and modern with a TV. Phone did not work. Staff is friendly and will try to help with any problems. Wifi is available in some of the rooms. Breakfast was not included.

If you're interested in staying close to town, this is the best location. While the main street in Fortuna can be a liitle noisy, this hotel - set back from the main street a block - is much more peaceful. The grounds and the rooms are well kept and the staff was very helpful with booking tours.

There's free internet available in the office and grocery stores and restaurants are nearby. Also, there's plenty of parking and I felt safe leaving the rental car there.

We stayed in one of the standard rooms. It was fine for us since we were only there to sleep: one double bed, one single bed and a refrigerator. If you're planning on spending any time in the room, I'd recommend spending a little extra for a premium room or suite. Those are in a newer building, have balconies (some with volcano views), and nicer furniture.

We were pleasantly surprised by the size and comfort of our room (room 12). When we arrived, we expected little, especially because the lobby was not impressive - it's small and looks like a tourist agency. However, the room turns out to be spacious, clean, and with simple but acceptable decoration. (We got room 12, which is at the very back next to the river. We had a passing glance at other rooms, and it seems that room 12 is bigger and best situated if you want privacy.) And the price is right (We paid $75 per night for a room with 2 queen sized beds.)

Although it is nothing fancy, the hotel is very convenient for the village/town of La Fortuna. The ground of the hotel is charming - much better looking than the lobby might suggest. There is a river running through the back of the hotel, very cool. There is a small pool, although we didn't feel like using it at all because La Fortuna was cloudy most of the time.

We considered a few other more expensive hotels but they are on the outskirt of the town, which means we won't have easy access to the restaurants. Although La Fortuna does not have very good restaurant options, given how small it is, Hotel Monte Real is at a great location for accessing everything LA Fortuna has to offer. It is at the edge of the 2x2 block town center, which means it is quieter at night, but you can easily walk the 2 blocks to any restaurant. The owners are friendly locals.

My girlfriend and I stayed here because it was right in LaFortuna. It's not right on the main drag, so it's quiet. This is not a luxury hotel, but if you're just looking for a decent place to stay at a reasonable price, it's perfect. It's about 2 blocks from a grocery store and a great little soda where you can get a good, cheap breakfast. It's only one block from the main street in LaFortuna. I think it's a family run hotel. We found the front desk staff to be helpful. The water pressure in the shower left a little to be desired, but that's probably my only complaint. We didn't have a car, but if you do, they have a parking lot...and a pool...although we never used it.
