Great place to stay!

The room was beautiful, with great viewpoints on the property. Breakfast was also really good. There's a really good Mexican restaurant up the street that kept us fed during the day and night.

The volcano was putting out a powerfully sulphuric smell we couldn't really escape from

Hübsche Unterkunft super nah beim Poas Vulkan. Wunderschöne Aussicht. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Unterkunft liegt gerade einmal 10 Autofahrt-Minuten vom Poas Vulkan (Eingang/Parking) entfernt. Hübsche, kleine, verspielte Unterkunft und wunderschöne Anlage mit atemberaubendem Ausblick ins Tal Richtung San Jose. Die Dame am Empfang war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Sie hat uns bei der kurzfristigen online Buchung für unseren Poas Vulkan Besuch geholfen. Frühstück war einfach, aber hat geschmeckt und wir waren satt. Gerne wieder.

Location is stunning.

Decor kitch. Staff less helpful than elsewhere in Costa Rica. Breakfast only available after 7:30. Common areas not well looked after.

Pleasant

The location is excellent for visiting Poas Volcano. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious.

There are two very large dogs on site, one of which barked part of the first night and all night the second night. This was very disruptive to our sleep and we left exhausted. When we complained, office staff said there was nothing that could be done. Yes there is: keep the dog that barks inside at night!

The top place to stay on your way to a volcano

Spectacular view, highest level property, a pleasant territory with a fireplace, proximity to the Poas Volcano - everything I liked! There is an option to buy a budget wine from reception and also to order a tasty pizza from a local bakery (beware of huge portion sizes that are bigger than expected). Seating at a fireplace with wine and watching the lights of San Jose far away down the valley - that's so romantic! Excellent breakfast option in a spectacular building

Peaceful and beautiful

Our stay at Altura Hotel was amazing, we really enjoyed everything, the staff is really nice, the views are great, the dogs and cats are so lovely, we stayed in the Master Dome and it was really nice and cozy (the only thing is that it can get really cold at night and the heater is very small). In general it was a great weekend to relax, I really recommend this place, it is beautiful!

Almost perfect, but needs customer service. Still recommend

It’s a dream place, almost perfect. The location, the breakfast and the dogs and cats.

Customer service was deficient. No help with luggage, staff was painting and one of us didn’t know so she got paint on her (no sign), the bathtub was dirty.

A place to meditate, enjoy and relax

Everything except the concept of the breakfast. The place with it's breathtaking view is amazing, safe, comfortable and has its own soul. The room has air dryer and a heater which is a big plus in mountains. Staff recommended a restaurant for a dinner and food there was really delicious!

The breakfast is served in time slots, so you need to choose the exact time for it. We delayed for 7 minutes as we saw a beautiful bird on the way, and the staff was not too happy to our "late" visit, they mentioned we were late but served breakfast though.

We found it by chance in a map search and only when we arrived did we realize what a gem it was. The location is excellent, 10 minutes from Poaz, a tipical and delicious breakfast. We stayed in one of their amazing tents and had a great time. The entire area is charmingly decorated, and the rooms are very pampering. highly recommend

Magical stay!!!

Such a beautiful and lovely place! The room was incredibly comfortable and spacious, the water pressure was great (which is apparently not so common in Costa Rica…), breakfast was super tasty and rich, the staff was amazing, caring and helpful. But above all, the view was mesmerizing! Highly recommended!!! 💖

Nothing, it was just superb!

Very good

We liked the garden, quite and the view. The room was clean. The hotel is close to La Poas which allows to get there early.

Curtains were moldy. The room was a bit cold. The hot water in the shower sometimes cut off for a minute or 2.

The view is amazing here. The owner really keeps his property beautiful. I love the view of the cattle on the hillside, the hidden kitties all around and the super friendly doggos on the property. There are plenty of beautiful lounge spots to choose to sightsee through out the day. There was a big thunderstorm that knocked power our the night before we arrived. The owner gave us an upgrade from the tent to a room. This place is special and gorgeous.

Great Staff and food n coffee ✔️

The initial room …. Very old, particle board walls, rain brought loud banging on a tin like roof. Had to walk a considerable distance over a couple of washed out gravel sections to this unusual …room We were moved to a modern, good room in the hotel shown in pics

Great place to stop. Would recommend

.The staff were so nice. They accommodated our very late arrival and were very helpful.

While one room was very nice, i wish we had rented 3 of those instead of the container apartment. The suite was beautiful. I would rate the suite 10 out of 10. I would not stay in the container housing again.
