great hotel, even better hostesses
The rooms were small but quite sufficient, cost was very reasonable, and the beds were comfortable. There was a good hot prepared breakfast with choice of 3-4 options and fresh juice. The receptionists Wanda and Zadieka were absolutely fabulous and incredibly helpful - do not let these young ladies leave your establishment, they are so hospitable, intelligent, knowledgable of the area and out-of-this-world helpful!!!

Monteverde is a must!
Great property and location! Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Costa Rica.
No A/C, so we would have appreciated a ceiling fan!

Wanda at check in was great at providing information on area attractions and answering all of our questions. Breakfast was really good. No a/c, so a bit humid during rainy season but not too awful hot.

Freindly Staff and Great Location
This was a great place to stay.
All stay were warm welcoming and very helpful.
Room was comfortable and clean.
The location was slightly elevated over the town centre so offered some amazing views when the weather was clear and was a short walk into the town centre.
Would certainly look to stay here if ever visiting Monteverde in the future.

Everything was very nice including the included breakfast. The only problem I has was that there were too many stairs ti get to my cabin (with carrying luggage). They put me in their sister hotel next door on the ground floor and I was able to get the luggage in easily.
