Decent for the cost .

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. 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.

Book elsewhere!

Horrible customer service from some staff. Not all though. They argue with you after giving you a room you paid to have a pool view and it literally shows a cement wall. They tell you on booking it's 2 double beds but it ends up being 3 beds in twin size and taking up entire room. Traveler beware. See attached picture. This was a pool view room LOL They gave our 2 rooms to local costa ricans over us Americans. They argued with us too. Our second room we had to have the water fixed because it smells up the room bad.

Not a good stay.

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.

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.

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.

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

Cute place for an adventure driven couple

If you want to stay downtown in a central spot this hotel is for you, right on the main road. The rooms don’t have a ton of wiggle room but you have everything you need. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the rain shower always had hot water. Maid service was daily and she always made out towels into a cute design on the bed. Breakfast was descent as well with excellent coffee and choices for hot meals (scrambled eggs, sausage, rice), pastries/breads/cereal, and tropical fruit which was always ripe and tasty! Some mornings there were more options than others (like yogurt or pancakes). The parking lot is safely secured but about 2 blocks from the hotel. The pool is somewhat awkwardly placed—there’s no area around it where you can sit and read—but we mostly used this hotel as a docking point so we could do lots of activities, and weren’t interested in using the pool. Also it was a nice touch that they give you tokens to have a delicious welcome cocktail, and the happy hour specials in the hotel bar were very reasonable. I’d stay here again! I only wish they had travel bottles of shampoo and conditioner for guests—they only had lotion.

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.

Conveniently located, busy area

Conveniently located in downtown La Fortuna, this hotel is within walking distance of shops and restaurants in a lively part of town. However, the location also means it can be quite noisy, especially with the traffic on the main street. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which was a highlight of my stay. The helped suggest and book activities in the area for me which really made the trip. Unfortunately, the mattress in my room had a deep sag on one side, making it feel like I was sinking into a hole. With better bedding, this could be a much more comfortable stay.

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.
