Pros:

Die Unterkunft war sauber und das Frühstück war richtig gut. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Die Preise die die Unterkunft für Touren aufruft, sind unverschämt. Zudem hat es in den Zimmern teilweise gemüffelt und die Klimaanlage hat aufs Bett getropft.

Very well run hostal
Pros:

Very organized hostal. Seemed very clean, though I was the only one in the shared dorm. Breakfast included, which was very decent. Best gallo pinto I had in all of Costa Rica. Kitchen available after breakfast and until 9pm or something. Fridge to store food. Water from filter to fill up your bottle. Wifi was good.

Cons:

It's a bit expensive, also compared to other locations. The service is very high though. And my room was good, because I was alone, but filled with 6 people, it might get a little tight with all the bags and stuff.

Pros:

Very simple hotel. We were hardly in the room. Rooms were fine, fridge, good AC. Service was very good.
In fact we left our passports in the safe and the staff helped make a special trip to San Jose to bring our passports last minute. That was amazing,
We definitely recommend looking for an economical yet comfortable stay.

Very good
Pros:

The room was nice and even had a hot shower — nothing too special, but definitely good value for the price. The two younger guys at reception were super friendly and helped us a lot with planning our trip and giving great recommendations. We were also able to leave our bags there and were allowed to take a shower after checking out, which was very convenient. Breakfast was good and the staff overall were very welcoming

Cons:

The kitchen could have been cleaner. Also, the older receptionist was extremely unfriendly — he treated us like criminals when we checked out and just wanted to talk to a friend who was still staying there. It really didn’t feel like the welcoming ‘Pura Vida’ vibe we expected, and it left a bitter impression on our whole stay.

Good price/quality stay
Pros:

The location is awesome, close to the city centre and all main attractions if you go to La Fortuna

Cons:

It was very noisy. After 10 PM, staff and guests were listening to loud music, watching movies without headphones, and having loud conversations. Since there’s a small garden in the middle, the noise echoes throughout the place every evening, and it woke me up regularly.

Good location and thats about it
Pros:

The breakfast was simple and nice. The location is good and the cleaning staff are very good. The laundry service is great too albeit expensive

Cons:

Aircon was SO loud in the private rooms, an inconsistent loudness that made it very hard to sleep.
Shuttle bus to the hot springs is a good addition but the driver was aggressive and unreasonable. We wanted to get off at la fortuna waterfall where he left off some other guests but he refused to let us off the shuttle and shouted aggressively at us before locking us into the shuttle. Very rude and unprofessional.

Pros:

A localização é ponto positivo. O ponto negativo foi que alugamos um quarto com banheiro privativo e, infelizmente, o chuveiro não esquentava e tivemos que utilizar o banheiro geral. Na descrição constava ventilador e não tinha. Não foi possível usar o ar ja que o barulho era grande. O plus foi que precisamos ficar na cidade ate as 14hrs e permitiram, sem custos, que ficássemos ate as 13hrs. Retornaríamos para hospedar no Choza Inn solicitando um quarto melhor

OK
Pros:

I was only here one night, in a private room. It was about as basic as it gets. The bed was okay but I could feel the individual springs. The included breakfast was alright but nothing spectacular. The staff were all very polite and professional, but the property itself was very much the stereotypical hostel, passable but not memorable.

Favourite place to stay in town!
Pros:

It was super clean, and a little outside of town, which was nice and quiet. But it was still close enough to easily walk to the action.

Pros:

Sympathique, tout est ok . Le wifi ne se rend pas dans les chambres mais dans l’entrée avec des fauteuils.Les gens sont tranquilles et sympathiques. Clientèle jeune. Stationnement facile à l’hôtel ou à la rue. Pour le prix tout est OK.
