Nice pool, nice garden area. Gated and someone around 24/7\. Was a hostel with private rooms and bathrooms ahared kitchen. AC worked well. Bar at the pool and they played music from early afternoon to 10 pm every day, which I didn't love, but it was okay. A ton of restaurants nearby!! All good food. We had birds in the trees every morning and every night so that was cool - they were pretty loud lol. ##### Robin Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jill Oct 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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 ! ##### Jill Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ingrid Marie Feb 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great place Really nice place to stay in La Fortuna. We were 3 girls traveling and had a double room. Amazing common areas. Nice pool. We were really happy all in all. The staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend. Only minus is that there were no places to hang your clothes in the room and you’re not allowed to hang them outside to dry. And considering the humidity that’s a big minus - you will definitely need to dry clothes and your swimsuit. Most of our stuff never dried for the days we stayed there. ##### Ingrid Marie Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Patricia Jan 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and courtyard. However, we booked 2 “ Deluxe” rooms. 2 beds and a bathroom. They hand you 2 bath towels. No washcloths or hand towels. We had sheets and one thin blanket but our friends only had a sheet on their bed! They also had one tiny wastebasket in the bathroom, and since you can’t put anything in the toilets here, that’s a problem! Diago ( who checked us in)was terrific. Welcome drink is a four ounce strawberry daiquiri, literally served in a small plastic champagne glass. The grounds are well done, just wish they would put a little effort into the rooms. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Mar 11, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay in La Fortuna at Poshtel Arenal! ##### Jessica Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guylaine Jan 7, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautifull for a Hostel.. good wifi.. ##### Guylaine Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Halima Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location and service! ##### Halima Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nichole Feb 19, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cute place! Outside area was super cute and the private room is big. Fun vibes here, staff was great, bar was fun, showers warm, and close to everything. Welcome drink was a nice touch. Cons (not super biggies but just note): I could hear the people next door yelling super early in the morning. It would be nice to have a TV in room. Pool is advertised as heated so I guess I expected it to be warmer (it was super cold and rainy during my stay), a provided umbrella would have been nice. Overall though would stay here again should I ever make it back :) ##### Nichole Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Shelby Jan 8, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Remember this is technically a hostel though it didn't feel like one. I had a private room with a balcony. The ac was lovely but the street was loud. There was no blankets, just a sheet, and the shower did not get hot, not usually a problem after a warm day. But really great considering the cost. ##### Shelby Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rammell Mar 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Very Nice staff ##### Rammell Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea Dec 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Food options nearby.
