This was an excellent hotel. My mother in law can’t walk well and they accommodated so quickly to help her. She loved the pool, convincente to walk around, shop, restaurants, etc.

The staff was always helpful and courteous. The complimentary breakfast was great. Location was convenient to downtown and the city square and restaurants. An item was lost from my suitcase and the staff was extremely helpful in locating the item and went out of their way to return it to me.

Pleasent hotel just 2 blocks from the heart of town. Good onsite resturant that had a scrumptious fixed menu offering for breakfast. Room was comfortable with working AC. Staff were very accomodating of requests.

Clean small property. Nice friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Hotel did not provide any information regarding activities. Although they were easily available once you were in the shopping area. We used Uber for transportation.

The room was rather smaller verses what's in the picture. The morning staff in the restaurant were great however there could be more breakfast options.

We had exceptional service. Fernanda was fantastic and arranged for us to have breakfast to-go because we were checking out super early before breakfast was available. The room was basic, clean, everything you need. Walkable to everything. Pool looked nice though we didn’t use it. Would stay again if passing through la fortuna.

The photos shown are not exactly how it appears. We were given a room that was so dark and with an outdated tv, no fridge for medication. There was. Very little parking for rental. However it was very near shops and restaurants.

This hotel is a wonderful hidden treasure in La Fortuna. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable. I strongly recommend this lodging facility for anyone looking for an affordable price with all this Inn has to offer.

My daughter and I stayed at Hotel Arenal Rabfer for 8 days. Our stay was very pleasant and peaceful. The customer service here was exceptional and my daughter and I loved the breakfast. Roberto was very kind and treated us like family. Fernando (the lady with the pretty eyes) was very personable and sweet. Everyone was supper nice and made us felt welcome. I would definitely come back or recommend this hotel to my friends.

Checkin was quick and easy…..receptionist Laura was very welcoming….hospitable……comprehensive with her hotel orientation…..other receptionist Magally was very accommodating……extra pillows and extra clothes hangers. Breakfast was very delicious with several choices……allowed us to take our coffee refills back to our room….kudos to the cook….Gema. The daily room and building cleaning was vey professional……housemaid Kelin did a fabulous job. I watched her clean the sliding door tracks at the large upstairs events room. I rate this hotel beyond five stars.

The Hotel Arenal Rabfer staff was really nice upon check-in. The rooms have seen better days. The bed comforters are paper thin and had stains on them. They definitely need to be replaced, and offer better quality comforters so you aren't cold at night. The other issue is that you can't flush toilet paper down the toilet so it all needs to go in the tiny trash can in the bathroom, which is quite disgusting. I understand the plumbing is old but this is really not OK for guests who are staying more than a night. The price was right for one night but would not stay here again.

Clean, basic rooms. Short on some room amenities (towels, drinking glasses) but delivered when requested. Excellent breakfasts included with stay. Seems to be a favourite choice of Ticos. Friendly staff, but limited in knowledge of tours/activities. Be prepared to pay to get to Arenal volcano area if you don’t have a vehicle, as there is no public transit.

Hotel is just ok. It is very close to all the La Fortuna downtown shops and restaurants..that’s a plus. Rooms are just ok..they have not been updated in years ! They still have the old box tv with 4 channels. No hair-dryer or shampoo in the bathroom, safe did not work as well. Breakfast was basic.The only plus point was the staff at the front desk. Ericka was very helpful and guided us well with her recommendations for tours and arranging transportation to San Jose.

Good enough for us to not feel uncomfortable being here. The air conditioner worked very well and the staff was extremely kind, specifically the girl that worked in the mornings. Go 7 am for breakfast or you won’t have much options by 8. Bed was comfortable as well and housekeeping was daily

Good value for what you pay. New owners in November and they are trying to fix it up. Electrical and plumbing needs some work. They have a good deal for breakfast with a Soda across the street which is excellent and highly recommended. They are delightful and want feedback. Would recommend.
