Albergues en La Fortuna

Ventajas: The breakfast was next door at a taco restaurant. There were many options and it was quite delicious. The air conditioning was very welcomed as Arenal was quite hot when I got there and being in a room with 3 others without ventilation is less than ideal!

Desventajas: I felt like one staff member at the front was rushed. Consequently I felt like k couldn't ask too many questions. I had booked a tour but when I spoke with another staff member and she gave me a few more details I realized the tour wasn't for me. Luckily I was easily able to cancel and be reimbursed.

Ventajas: Ambiente cómodo, excelente ubicacion, ofrecían muy buenos tours y personal muy amable. La comida es muy buena, opciones vegetarianas en el hotel y en casi cada restaurant de la zona, incluso en los tours

Desventajas: Poca iluminación en la habitacion y muchisimo ruido en la noche, creo que de algún generador cercano

Ventajas: Perfect location and price. Staff was excellent. Parking in the back.

Ventajas: Everything about this place was AWESOME. - Super clean - Perfect location - Fab restaurant attached - Really affordable - Had a female dorm (which was great!) - THE BEST STAFF EVER, unbelievably friendly/welcoming/helpful - Helped book trips to anywhere I needed Felt like a home away from home. Nowhere better to stay in La Fortuna :) BOOK IT BOOK IT!

Desventajas: Actually nothing!

Ventajas: El sitio está muy bien situado. El. Personal es muy atento. Hay espacio común con hamaca.. Chill out.. Mesas.. El ambiente es moderno y agradable.

Desventajas: Hace mucho calor en las habitaciones contáiners. El espacio es pequeño.. La. Idea es buena pero para un sitio q no haga tanto calor. Hay aire acondicionado pero compartiendo habitación con desconocidos no es fácil gestionarlo. La cocina es muy pequeña. Hay que ir por turnos.

Ventajas: Good location, friendly staff, nice roomates! PERFECT !

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Nice, helping staff. Good location, even though the town is small.

Desventajas: Rooms are pretty small and narrow, but ok.

Ventajas: Location is great for getting around :) the staff are very kind and friendly, helping to get around and do tours :) security is good, like I said it's small and the spaces can be kinda tight. But it's a container hostel, so just dont expect anything different :)

Desventajas: You get what's advertised, these are containers you're staying in. So space is limited and so are windows. the bathrooms are through the dorms, so I found our rooms to be a little ripe.

Ventajas: Clean, nice hanging out area, AC, location

Desventajas: Kitchen is small but manageable

Ventajas: Location is good, its near to center. there is good condition shower. And room was clean.

Desventajas: hostel itself is not big.

Ventajas: moderno y limpio

Desventajas: mucho ruido por un compresor cerca de la habitación. El recepcionista recomienda el Parque Ecológico Volcán Arenal, el cual es un engaño y no va nadie.

Ventajas: Atención del personal. Situación. Limpieza. Amplitud en los baños y buen desayuno.

Desventajas: Faltan cortinas en las literas.Poco espacio en las habitaciones.

Ventajas: breakfast was great

Ventajas: Whist staying here the host helped us to spot a family of 4 sloths and a massive iguana. There is lots of wildlife by the nearby stream. The rooms are also large and we appreciated the extra facilities so we could prepare our own lunch.

Ventajas: Henry was extremely helpful and welcoming. He helped us book tours. Great service.

Desventajas: The rooms were not clean. The ceiling and walls were dirty. I swept my own room out. The property is a bit run down but we didn't pay much.

Ventajas: Puedes pagar en efectivo o tarjeta, súper bien. Se portaron muy amables y ahí nos consiguieron los tours. El lugar es relativamente cerca del centro, puedes caminar sin problema, queda cerca todo.

Ventajas: Todo el equipo fue excelente, el hotel esta limpio. Fueron fe muchisima ayuda siempre. Excelente!!

Desventajas: Estaba equivocada la ubicación en el booking

Ventajas: La ubicación céntrica pero tranquila

Desventajas: Faltan cortinas para bloquear la luz

Ventajas: · The staff is SO kind, friendly and helpful! They even moved me to an upstairs room after I was woken up early by noisy neighbors. The rooms are HUGE, more like a studio/small apartment, and they all come with A/C, WiFi, a refrigerator and microwave, and a TV- a rare find in Costa Rica, especially for this price! Breakfast is delicious, and this area is set back from the main strip just far enough to be away from the noise, but still walkable.

Desventajas: The rooms all could have used a deep clean- walls, windowsills, hard-to-reach bathroom areas, etc. The sheets were clean and the beds were comfortable which is all that matters to me. Also, I do have to say- thin walls. I was woken up every morning by people getting up and leaving for their days around 6am, but the staff did everything they could to help this so it really isn’t their fault. Lastly- my room had some kind of plumbing issue with the bathroom sink that would get pretty noisy whenever it was draining.

Ventajas: Personal Ubicación Colchones Amplitud de la habitación Cocina dentro de la habitación

Desventajas: Suelo de la ducha, aunq este limpio, parece sucio. Cortinas muy transparentes

Ventajas: El desayuno excelente. Me lo prepararon súper temprano antes de salir a un tour. Habitaciones espaciosas. Agua caliente. El trato del personal. En el río de atrás ni bien llegué ví una tortuga.

Desventajas: Las camas sin sábanas, solo cobertor y con olor a humedad. El personal, muy amable, muchas veces no se encontraba. Supongo por la zona donde está, la presencia de insectos es inevitable, pero ví dos cucarachas de las voladoras y me dió impresion

Desventajas: Muy sucio. Nuestra ropa olía fatal durante el resto del viaje después de alojarnos aquí. Las habitaciones necesitan dispensadores de jabón y una mejor ventilación.

Ventajas: El personal era muy servicial, las habitaciones estaban limpias y el ambiente es una delicia, los otros viajeros eran amables. Me gustó mucho mi estancia en Arenal albergue Resort ya lo he recomendado a los demás! Feliz año nuevo

Desventajas: La construcción empieza muy temprano y me despertaron! El olor artificial de las soluciones de limpieza son disruptores hormonales y sería una buena idea utilizar productos de limpieza ecológicos para proteger tanto al personal como los clientes

Ventajas: La piscina de agua caliente, y el trato tan servicial del personal que trabaja allí. Las camas eran muy cómodas y la limpieza excelente

Ventajas: The facilities were great!!! It has the potential to be a really fun place. A heated pool with a swim up bar, hammocks, music, foosball... All of the elements are there.... Get a friendly, attentive bartender. Even people on dinner if our tours said they same thing.

Desventajas: The facilities were great but not many people were taking advantage of them. The bartender on 3-9-20 was very rude and seemed to only be interested in talking to two very loud, very drunk girls. We ran into several other people staying at the hostel who also said the rude bartender and loud drunk girls made them go out elsewhere. When a guy in our group asked for his welcome drink, after being ignored for a few minutes in spite of there being only the two aforementioned costumers, he was eventually given a drink. About ten minutes later, when a girl in our group went for her drink, the bartender made a drink that was twice as strong. We would have enjoyed hanging out and having a few drinks there and enjoying the heated pool and foosball, but not when ignored and sneered at. Usually the bartender is friendly which encourages people to stay and have fun. Instead, we decided not to return the following week as we had been considering.

Ventajas: The reception staff did not give us a lot of info about anything. Manu, the tenderbar was funny. The breakfast was good. It was very noisy and in the room was humid.

Ventajas: it was very nice, our private rooms were behind the street, so a bit more quiet. also try the bar, Manuel knows his stuff and feel free to order other drinks too ☺️ thanks for the great time ☺️

Desventajas: nothing to report

Ventajas: The beds and pillows were good

Desventajas: There are two reception desks, however only one is used in a separate building across the street from where we stayed. Check in for this reason was a nightmare and totally avoidable with some information or signage. We booked this stay because of the offered shuttle to San Jose for $55 per person as we had international flights to return home. When we booked the shuttle with the hostel we were told the trip was direct to san jose and would take approximately 3 to 3.5 hours- this information was a lie and the trip took 6 hours and was NOT DIRECT! We made it to our gate where our flight was being held for us, we were lucky to make it on. Our schedule pick up time was 8am but when we awoke that morning a note was slipped under our door saying the shuttle time had changed to 7:30am. Super UNPROFESSIONAL, not to mention a terrible way to awake to your travel day; then the shuttle driver didn’t arrive til 7:50am. Uber will go direct to San Jose for $100- this is what we should have done. If you stay here do not book excursions/ shuttles with the staff, do your research and make reservations independently.

Ventajas: El lugar es muy bonito

Desventajas: El agua se acumulaba en la ducha y el servicio de limpieza ineficiente

Desventajas: The man working the booking desk was very rude to my friend and I. We asked about his rates but ended up booking our tours elsewhere. He then confronted us at the bar to tell us off. Highly unprofessional conduct to begin with, but even more so because his criticism was so wrong to begin with. I’ll book my tours with whoever I want. If I don’t book it through the hostel, no one should get upset about it. This negative interaction spoiled the rest of our stay because we had to keep seeing this employee and he would stare at us. He also refused to give us even 15 minutes of extra check out time.

Ventajas: Staff and discounts for tours. location was good locked parking for the car.

Desventajas: A toilet roll holder would have been good. Shortage of towels each day. Kitchen wasn't very clean

Ventajas: The personels were very helpful and pleasant Good vibe on the property

Desventajas: Because our room was facing the street it was very noisy in the evening

Ventajas: Amazing location! Right in the centre of the town. The staff were extremely helpful with booking tours and shuttle busses to our next location. Highly recommend!

Ventajas: The bed, the pool, relaxing in the hamac, the food...and all the staff.

Ventajas: Good and clean stay in La Fortuna, close to everything. You can use the gym for free which is a big plus ! Nice volcano view from the kitchen on the 2nd floor.

Desventajas: You have to pass the reception and glasdoor towards the gym if you want to go to the bathroom. Very thin walls between rooms.

Ventajas: Look above :-)

Desventajas: the owner was beyond helpful, an angel, great suggestions for future trips, gave us such good advice. Ask for a view of Arenal volcano...but, if you don't get one, the kitchen upstairs has a big beautiful view of Arenal volcano. 1 shower has hot water, washrooms and showers were communal. we had a fan, no a/c, quiet, good location. bathrooms need updating, but it was fine. It was nice to have a private spacious room in hostel. excellent location to main downtown and the other staff member helped us out by loaning her computer to us for a work deadline. staff was incredible.

Ventajas: The staff is amazing - I got a home and a family away from home, I did feel welcomed! Basically you have everything for the period of time people usually stay in La Fortuna, the excellent bonus is gym right few steps away! The location is just perfect for those who travel on foot - all the main Street with all the shops-bars-restaurants-etc is just in front of you! There's also a kitchen so you can cook (though my suggestion is try this Pollo Fortuneño restaurant just few meters away especially if you're traveling with family or friends, i had a nice dining experience there). There a few dorms with 4 sleeping places (2 bunk beds) so grab your friends or family and you'll have a room only for you.

Desventajas: I enjoyed my staying. Only as a suggestion about what can be added: 1) Mirrors inside the dorm (at least the female room); 2) more sockets in the room considering the amount of people in the room; 3) towels.

Ventajas: We got some free fruit and coffee in the morning.

Desventajas: No aircon, so it was a little warm.

Ventajas: Property had a gym attached to it that you could use. Everything was easily walkable. Staff and owner were very friendly and helpful.

Desventajas: Trash could have been taken out more in the bathrooms.

Ventajas: Excelente servicio de Randal, el cuál es el encargado del lugar ademàs buena ubicación del hotel ya que está cerca de todo y un lugar muy seguro

Ventajas: La recepción y la ubicación

Desventajas: Había agua en los pasillos que salia del baño porque no había con que secar. Tampoco había perchero para colgar las toallas en la habitación

Ventajas: Cuando llegue no tenían a mano mi reservación que era para 2 noches ; tuve que enviarlas por whatsapp al encargado , el aseo de la cocina un desastre ; la refrigeradora muy sucia por dentro , el grifo del fregadero no funciona ; la ventana de mi habitación estaba al lado de un gimnacio que desde las 5:00 am iniciaba con música a full , además las cortinas de la habitación casi transparentes lo cual le resta privacidad , el aseo de las habitaciones y área de recepción excelente

Ventajas: Que tenía gimnasio

Desventajas: Instalaciones, limpieza y servicio.

Ventajas: Me encantó el lugar, como estar en casa ! La ubicación excelente, el lugar muy limpio y seguro, pero sobre todo el trato fue de lo mejor, tod@s siempre estuvieron dispuestos a colaborar en lo que necesitara. Excelente vista al volcán mientras desayunas o tomas un café. Lo recomiendo 100%, una opción muy buena y económica.

Desventajas: En mi criterio todo estuvo perfecto !

Ventajas: Muy buena onda del staff y muy buena ubicación

Desventajas: Pondría los baños más cerca de los cuartos.

Ventajas: - The drawing point of this hostel is obviously the gym - which was great. Has everything you need and is open for your use whenever you want as its attached - Super friendly smiley staff

Desventajas: Less of a social atmosphere than a bigger hostel, saying that I did meet some nice groups both male and female

Ventajas: Location was very good.

Desventajas: No English speaking so difficult to communicate. No kettle in the kitchen to make coffee. Shower water was cold and when advised just shrugged. Very basic but without a basic price. Was very disappointed.

Ventajas: Basic accomodation, perfect for the budget traveller.

Ventajas: WiFi was pretty good It's near the city center

Desventajas: The rooms share a common corridor, and have only windows to that corridor therefore is impossible to not be disturbed by other guests getting up or arriving. Bathroom has no ventilation There was a cockroach in the room

Ventajas: Excelente personal de atencion, un lugar muy barato y comodo para quedarse lo suficiente y disfrutar de la fortuna.

Desventajas: Estoy bien con el servicio.

Ventajas: El pecio está bien, pero sólo si lo que se busca es un lugar con lo mínimo para pasar la noche.

Desventajas: Las camas eran súper incómodas, no olían bien las sábanas y el espacio se veía poco ciudado.

Ventajas: Parqueo privado Ubicación cercana

Desventajas: Súper ruidoso,tuvimos que sacudir las sabanas por que se llenaron de hormigas,no volvería,lo barato sale caro

Desventajas: El baño hace un ruido constante y no deja dormir, solo hay agua fria, los colchones son muy finitos, la dueña se muestra como que le molestara que estuvieramos hospedados,no saluda.

Ventajas: Los precios.

Desventajas: El parqueo es pequeño.

Ventajas: Good value basic accommodation. Fortuna is a bit on the pricey side but this is good, basic accommodation on the slightly rough side of town but close to the bus station and centre (two or 3 minutes). There was a good, hot shower (cheaper places in Costa Rica seem often to be cold water only) in the cramped bathroom, and the bed was comfortable. In the yard at the back there is a large kitchen area, which we didn't use but it seemed fine if you were staying longer and backpacking. There is a good range of eating places in walking distance. It is just fine for a short stay and saves you money for the numerous activities in the area.

Desventajas: It was just fine for the price.

Ventajas: Great location. Friendly staff. Super garden / common area. Good wifi. Clean. Kitchen

Ventajas: Simple but great value for the La Fortuna area, free parking also which was a nice bonus. Felt safe and it had what we needed.

Ventajas: staff were nice, big outdoor area for eating

Desventajas: room to small, bathroom missing a mirror and cupboard, no space in front of toilet, no adapters for three-pronged devices (outlets are two-pronged), kitchen missing enough small knifes and water-cooker, no towels
