Great value for the money! I'm too old for this place and it's bit noisy. The walls aren't insulated. Great Staff. I highly recommend this to those under age 30 !

The two Michelle’s that work the front and tour desk are absolutely amazing.

The property was beautiful. It looked better in person then in the pictures. Rooms were decent and the beds were very comfortable. The outside is very nice has about 4 hammocks and chairs outside all the rooms. Very nice mini bar with a cool pool.

Lots of rules for a backpackers. No smoking areas and had to go out the front or back which was no trouble but didnt feel too safe after dark outside gates by myself.. very nice staff and great grounds.. nice swim up pool bar.

Good location, clean rooms and great service from the hostel.

They overbooked; we did not get the rooms we reserved; it was a horrible experience to spend a night with 6 people in the same room - totally ruined our vacation spirit, not mentioning if they would refund some of the cost.

Centrally located in the heart of La Fortuna, this hostel is part of the Costa Rica hostel chain. Big spacious and clean rooms, with pools and bar and hammocks in the courtyard. Cheap prices, friendly staff.

Rooms are very small, Staff is not very helpful When I checked in ,No towels in room . I was provided with one bath towel only. Over priced.

Hostel is pretty, housekeeping not very good. They don’t have enough towels and we had to ask for a blanket/comforter. Fabio, the bartender is very nice and welcoming.

The hostel has two sides, one that is very standard and the other that is more upper scale depending on price. Social areas are accessible to everyone regardless of what room/side you choose. Great idea if you want a quick place to stay and on a budget but still want to enjoy a more upper scale environment. We choose the standard. Our room looked a bit run down, was noisy and the roof leaked in the bathroom. Told them about the roof and they said someone would come look at it but no one did. Told them the next day again and no one seemed bother by it. One bed had no box spring so uncomfortable. Staff was great tho, very helpful!!

When we got there at 2pm, our room wasn't ready and it took them another hour to clean it. It was also raining (as it often does in La Fortuna), and our room was leaking and our suitcases are wet. The shower was also clogged and the shower head was not working well. We asked to get another room and the other one's shower was also clogged, and we had to get moved to a 3rd room. Also, when they cleaned our room during the day, they took the dirty towels and when we asked them for new ones, they said we had to wait until 6pm. Wifi is also extremely slow in rooms. Positive points: Nice pool bar, friendly staff, close to all restaurants

Rooms were very nice, spacious and comfortable. Staff was helpful and welcoming. Carlos helped us plan all of our adventures, which went seemlessly (and he also helped arrange our transportation to the next town).

Nice environment but I was very disappointed with the room facilities. My friend and I spent three nights here. The shower room drainage was blocked so water everywhere. We requested maintenance first thing in the morning, but apparently nobody came so the room was flooded again on the 2nd night. We requested maintenance again so it was fixed on the third day. The shower system was also working strange. The faucet stopped automatically in the middle of the shower for 10 sec, then only EXTREMELY HOT WATER came out, it was dangerous at the time. On top of that, the shower started working automatically at 5am without anyone touching it. It was so loud that we thought was the pool downstairs. Maybe we just had bad lucks but I hope no one gets something like this again.

Very disappointed, first night had to stay in my friend’s room as they put me in a dorm (Although said no other guests would be in there) which was not what I’d booked or wanted, the room was horrible. I asked to move but they were full. The following day I managed to move to a better room but the shower didn’t work properly, it was scalding hot or freezing cold and intermittent, would start and stop. Location was good but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to others.

Great place with beautiful relaxing gardens and friendly staff at front desk. Would definately stay here again.

We reserved 5 rooms in the Arenal Hostel Resort from Dec 24-27. The hotel was located close to shops, restaurants and a park, which was convenient but very loud and noisy. We were woken up every morning at 4 with roosters competeton with each other to see who was louder. Although the rooms were a good size, none of the rooms had sufficient towels or blankets when we arrived. The overhead light in one room did not work. The hotel had sufficient notice to ensure that our rooms were ready. The staff was very indifferent to our requests. Upon asking for towels, some of us were told that towels and blankets would be requested from a sister property while others were informed that none were available. Contrary to what the hotel advertised on Hotels.com , most of the rooms had no TV’s and none of the rooms had safes that worked. We were instead asked to use the one common safe at the front desk which was accessible by all guests staying at the property. The Wi-Fi only worked in common areas and not in the rooms. One of the rooms even had a lizard on the coffee machine ( picture attached). We were quite disappointed.

We were very disappointed. We saw a picture of hammocks and a courtyard area on Expedia and thought we reserved a room there. When we showed up we were told yes we had a reservation but they needed us to stay at their sister hotel. They put us in a cab and we were dropped off at a plain hotel. I made the reservation because I wanted to spend my down time in the hammocks. Very misleading advertising. We stayed in the hotel la fortuna. Best thing about it was maricky the desk clerk. He was awesome!!!
