All of the staff we met were super kind and accommodating. Very good service. The breakfast buffet was good, with the gallo pinto being a highlight. It’s right on the center and easy to get around.

I loved this hotel! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Food at the restaurant was delicious! The only con was that there was no elevator. However the front desk crew were happy to help with luggage.

Excellent breakfast and customer service!! Noisy at night because of the bar but noise stops around 10pm. Everything is near and wakable. My kids favorite part was the towel shapes that they leave on the bed every morning after cleaning the room. Staff is professional and nice at all times.

Really great place to stay in La Fortuna, the breakfast is hosted in the attached restaurant and is delicious; lots of fresh fruit, traditional CR food. What I will say, is that there is a swimming pool but it’s right next to the restaurant so it’s not private at all. They gave us parking in a very safe lot which was great.

This place is showing its age a bit but given the great staff, it’s easy to let that go. It’s located right downtown La Fortuna so easy walk to restaurants. We had a car so also easy access to planned activities. Parking was nearby and secure. If you are expecting a high end hotel, then this might not do for you, but it you want clean, simple accommodation with a nice breakfast and kind staff, then you are golden.

The good: Very clean. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic. The staff was friendly. Convenient location for La Fortuna. Parking was convenient on the street. We were able to park right at the front door of the hotel both nights.
The negative: Very very loud street noise made it very difficult to sleep. Room was small.

Great hotel (just needs some modern showers)
It was a great hotel with very friendly staff and nice clean rooms. The only negative is their showers which are very old and jump between 'icy cold' and 'boil you alive' depending on how they feel at the time.

Fortuna Downtown Hotel was perfect for our family to adapt to Costa Rica on our arrival, close to so many eating and shopping options. Convenient for activity pickups, great staff at the desk and restaurant. Cleanest hotel experience I have ever had. Comfortable and convenient. Some people might find it noisy as the day starts early for breakfast but this didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely recommend.

Very convenient location - heart of La Fortuna. We would walk to all stores, restaurants, entertainment in downtown. Beds were very uncomfortable. Hot was access was limited. There was a lot of noise from the main street in downtown. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Food was really good.
