La Fortuna Downtown Boutique Hotel

Great little hotel right in the center of La Fortuna. The pool is clean and ready for use. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable.

Super friendly staff and great location. Room was basic, but comfortable. Loved the restaurant and pool.

Located in downtown - walking distance to good restaurants. Nice pool and good steak restaurant inside the hotel.

My family including our 10 and 11 year old children stayed here for one night while we checked out La Fortuna to see Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna Waterfall. The best thing about this hotel is the convenient location to everything and excellent customer service. We only stayed one night so it did its purpose of allowing us to stay in a place for an affordable price. But if you are saying longer and want comfortable beds with a decent pool then I say book somewhere else. It's right on the main plaza in La Fortuna so it was loud (ear plugs saved us). I also would not recommend swimming in the "pool." I think it was more of a pond and it's situated right where the restaurant is so everyone can see you while they are dining. All in all, it was an ok stay. Harrison at the front desk was amazing with his customer service and answered all our questions. Also the free breakfast was amazing so that was a highlight.

O hotel é muito bom, especialmente, o restaurante que tem a comida e um café da manhã delicioso! A piscina é ótima, mas fica junto ao restaurante, o que tira um pouco a privacidade. O quarto é pequeno e a cama não muito confortável. Mas, no geral, foi uma boa experiência!

Hôtel très bien situé. En plein milieu de la ville. Tout les restaurant et boutique ce font à pied. Service impeccable. Stationnement dans un endroit barrée donc très sécuritaire. Chambre petite mais fonctionnelle et propre. Un petit frigo aurait été apprécié dans la chambre. Très bon resto a même l’hôtel. Le déjeuner qui est inclus est excellent.

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.

Pool was under contruction and we had a small issue with the tv working but we got moved to a new room and it was fine. The restaurant has amazing food.

Location was extremely convenient to everything. This nice and cute hotel provided transportation from the airport or any excursions. However, you must call and coordinate with the front desk or ask for Marlon. He was beyond attentive, helpful, informative, friendly, and definitely made my trip positively memorable. Their food was quite delicious, and especially their complimentary breakfast, was my favorite. Thank you for everything.

Amazing staff! Restaurant and bar on site with nightly entertainment. Food was outstanding! It’s located in the middle of town and walkable to many restaurants. We were picked up for all excursions right at the hotel including the volcano, hot springs, zip lining, tubing.

There was a cockroach in the bathroom and bugs on wall…☹️

Great little hotel right in the center of La Fortuna. The pool is clean and ready for use. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable.

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.

They’ve done a really great job renovating the hotel. Our rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the morning breakfast delicious. Happy hour cocktails were a treat after our expeditions. Look for the sloths down the street in the greenbelt.

Will not recommend this hotel unless you are on a tight budget or all other nicer places are booked already. The hotel is crammed including the reception which cannot accommodate even 5-6 adults. The reception area as well as one of our rooms smelled of sewer. It wouldnt go away. Was nauseating. The bathrooms are tiny and water would collect in the shower everytime you took a shower. Unhygeinic!! I had to ask them to clean the shower area as housekeeping wouldnt clean the shower area everytime they came to set up the bed etc. i would not book this place again even if there were no options.

Wonderful! Friendly service, convenient location, clean, nice rooms, good breakfast, excellent restaurant, and Erick was extremely helpful with organizing our transport and excursions. Would definitely stay there again, and can happily recommend it to others. Thank-you! P.S. the only things that were missing were maybe a chair in the room and some hooks for hanging up wet clothes.

The room was clean and the service was great, very friendly people and great location

The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean. The a/c units needed replacing. The onsite restaurant was nice. We reserved 2 family rooms but were placed on opposite sides of the complex.

This hotel is great. ESPECIALLY for the price. The stafff are very friendly . The rooms are really clean with a bug smart tv with all the apps. The free breakfast in the morning is really good. Coffee, juice, tea fruit and main course . I would recommend to anyone.

The hotel was SUPER clean, staff were all friendly, excellent restaurant (a full, delicious breakfast was included), and the LOCATION was fabulous. In the heart of downtown La Fortuna, it was easy to park, to walk to shops, restaurants (although we spent most of our time at the hotel restaurant) and it was easy to get picked up by the tour buses. The room was comfy and roomy for us and our two young adults. The double bed, two twin beds was a great option for us. We also really enjoyed the sitting area/balcony in the room. We can't say enough terrific things about this hotel. We will definitely be back!!

Reception staff was wonderful! JJ is an absolute star , their recommendations for restaurants & things to do were top notch ! The rooms are pretty dated , but clean , sheets have been used for waaay too long , they're stained & worn . Breakfast was great , no problems with the hot water. The room was quite noisy ( concert from either the fridge/freezer , the fan in the bathroom or somewhere in the walls ).

The good: Very clean. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic. The staff was friendly. Convenient location for La Fortuna. Parking was convenient on the street.

I do not recommend this hotel -- not worth the price. There are two good things about it: 1) friendly and helpful front desk staff, and 2) location is very convenient. HOWEVER, we found many undesirable things: 1) Our so-called "family quad room" looks much larger in the Expedia photos than it actually is. It is actually tiny. The room had no desk or table at which to work, so I had to take my laptop down to the bar to work. 2) No luggage rack or other place to put luggage in room, except (in our case) the unused bed. 3) We reserved a "pool view" room, but the room we got had only a street view, meaning it was literally feet (meters) off the busiest square in town, where all the tour buses stop every day. If you like waking up at 06:00 to the very loud and constant sounds of trucks and motorcycles passing feet from your room, you will like this. 4) Bathroom was tiny, with almost no space around the sink to put things like toothbrush, contact lenses, etc. 5) Advertised "free secured self parking on site" is FALSE. Parking is 1.5 blocks away at a public parking lot. Prepare to pay for metered parking when you arrive to check in. 6) No towel rack in bathroom (even though towel rack mounting fixtures were present!) 7) Safe would not lock. 8) No facial tissue in the room, and staff said they had none they could provide. So bring your own, or buy it at a local store. 9) No bar soap or shampoo provided, only body wash, which housekeeping failed to refill despite daily cleaning

Excellent location and spectacular Renal volcano view

It was overall a pleasant stay. Location is great!! The front desk lady was nice and helpful. I guess my only complaint is that WiFi and shower water temperature are not inconsistent. Also, the balcony view was not consistent with the room I booked and it did not have screen, it was very easy for the bugs to come in

Had a wonderful two night stay here last week. The staff was above and beyond, so courteous and kind, helpful and informative. This place is so cute and the breakfast was really good!! We had a room facing the church out in front and for it being right in the heart of downtown La Fortuna we didn’t find it too noisy. It was a perfect location for us next to so many restaurants and shops, pharmacy, etc. Also, when the sun is out from our balcony we had a great view of Arenal Volcano. The hot and cold knobs in our room were labeled wrong but not a big deal. Ac was great and beds were comfy. Definitely would stay again!

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.

Great location. Friendly staff Basic room with strong A/C. Bed comfortable

The front desk worker was very friendly! But…… The room …..lack of furniture.

No closet or hooks to hang clothes and bath towels. Pillows were too high. Shower faucets were labeled wrong. Street noise.

The staff was super helpful and made my stay easy. They helped me book tours and helped me with any additional questions I had. Overall, the hotel was nice and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

The staff was incredible, they were so helpful and went beyond to help with weird questions. Great central location.

The woman at the front desk was very unpleasant at check-in. She was aggressive and rude. We had two rooms, both were riddled with issues. The toilet in one room wouldn't work and the sink in the other room was leaking water all over the bathroom floor. When we tried letting the front desk know, she told my parents to stop using the toilet if it wouldn't work. Neither room could get the WiFi to work. Neither TV worked at all. The room we stayed in would not deadbolt lock and the door had a large gap at the top and bottom of the door. My husband found that it was because the top of the door frame was loose from the wall. Our room was booked for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child) and we only received 2 towels. When my husband went to the front desk to ask, the woman told him no more towels until we brought down 2 dirty ones. There are no phones in the rooms and no elevators so he had to walk up and down three flights of stairs to try to talk to her. Before you are allowed to leave the property housekeeping goes into your room and does a full inspection to make sure you didn't take anything. Because there was someone in front of us checking out, this process took about an hour.

Recomiendo este hotel sin ninguna duda. Todos los empleados fueron amables, serviciales y dispuestos a ayudar. Karen y Daniel hicieron que nuestra experiencia fuera más de lo esperado con sus atenciones. Nuestra habitación para cuatro personas fue cómoda, siempre limpia y con todo lo esencial (aire acondicionado, máquina de café, neverita con refrigerios, toallas y artículos de higiene personal). El desayuno es buffet, variado y delicioso. Ofrece el tradicional gallo pinto, y a su vez tiene alternativas calientes y frias para el gusto de todos. La ubicación del hotel es perfecta para explorar la comunidad La Fortuna. Ubica en la vía principal de acceso al Volcán Arenal (donde en días despejados puedes observarlo) al costado de la Iglesia Católica. En el hotel puedes coordinar las diferentes actividades y excursiones que La Fortuna ofrece (hicimos varias y todas fueron espectaculares). El hotel cuenta con restaurante llamado Maria Bonita Steak House y una barra, Selva Negra Cocktail & Wine Bar. Tuve oportunidad de visitar ambos y fueron espectaculares, tanto en calidad, servicio y experiencia disfrutada. Para algo más ligero cuentan con La Ventanita de Maria Bonita, donde ofrece platos más ligeros igualmente ricos en ordenes para llevar. Este hotel superó todas mis expectativas en todos los aspectos y sin duda volvería a alojarme aquí.

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.

The staff was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful in booking excursions and supporting our needs as travellers. The hotel was clean and well maintained. Our only struggle was the shower didn't drain that effectively, so our bathroom would be wet and slippery after someone showed. The location is great and very accessible by your tour buses. All the pickups we're right out front.

Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Food was great as well. For a last minute book and value for money I couldn’t be happier!

The staff were exceptional! Many restaurants in the area, also very close to many activities.

Amazing staffs. Super friendly and very welcoming. Most helpful in planning in our whole trips. “Jossemar” is a concierge extraordinaire. He planned all our transportations and tour to, from and while in la Fortuna. This hotel is very proactive on helping you to have the best experience possible with the least planning on your part. They did everything. And all experienced they booked for us are exceeding our expectations. Jossemar even help us on our other leg of the trip. The location is very central to supermarket. Stores even post office. The room is small but clean and cleaning crews are great! The small pool is perfect to chill and read a book. The server at the restaurants are great. Especially “Jaymar” he made sure that we get our breakfast before our 7:30an tour. Overall we are very pleased here. Would definitely come back again

The hotel has a great location and a very good breakfast. Thankfully, with the downtown location, it wasn’t overly noisy to sleep.

Great location in downtown la fortuna. Staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Will definitely be staying here next time I am in town.

It is excelently located, walking distance to most places in La Fortuna.

Frente al parque principal y cerca de todo

Great location in the center of downtown La Fortuna easy walking to all the restaurants and shops.

Was very conveniently located

The staff was good, the location was perfect as we walked to the Jade, Gold and National Museum.

We can't say enough terrific things about this hotel. We will definitely be back!!

All of the rooms face the courtyard and steakhouse restaurant. On top of this, the hotel is on the Main Street with lots of loud vehicle traffic. This results in a very noisy environment because the walls and sliding glass doors are not well insulated. The noise finally settled down around 1:00 in the morning, but then restarted around 5:00. We seriously considered asking for a different room, until we realized all the rooms were situated the same. Our only relief was that it rained very hard the second night, and the rain hitting the surrounding tin roofs helped mask the other noises The hotel itself is nice and in a great location across from the park and close to all the restaurants and shopping. So if you can get past the noisy part with earplugs, you’ll enjoy your stay.

I liked the location of this hotel and how it was right in the downtown area with restaurants, shopping, and a view of the volcano/

Room felt brand new. Helpful staff. Great breakfast.

We had a great stay. The room was a little small, but overall it had everything we needed. The restaurant was fantastic. We ate dinner there once and breakfast daily.

Nice rooms, excellent breakfast, great restaurant, helpful staff.

Good central location, helpful staff. Rooms are basic but clean. Excellent restaurant for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is included but mediocre (the restaurant staff don’t work in the morning)

It was cutest hotel ever! The ashetic was spot on! I loved Carlos and Iyvanna! The entire staff was professional and polite. Very caring and helpful! The breakfast was fresh and hot! 10/10 definitely recommend!!
