Decent for the cost .
Reception staff was wonderful! JJ is an absolute star , their recommendations for restaurants & things to do were top notch !
The rooms are pretty dated , but clean , sheets have been used for waaay too long , they're stained & worn . Breakfast was great , no problems with the hot water. The room was quite noisy ( concert from either the fridge/freezer , the fan in the bathroom or somewhere in the walls ).

Great hotel (just needs some modern showers)
It was a great hotel with very friendly staff and nice clean rooms. The only negative is their showers which are very old and jump between 'icy cold' and 'boil you alive' depending on how they feel at the time.

Fortuna Downtown Hotel was perfect for our family to adapt to Costa Rica on our arrival, close to so many eating and shopping options. Convenient for activity pickups, great staff at the desk and restaurant. Cleanest hotel experience I have ever had. Comfortable and convenient. Some people might find it noisy as the day starts early for breakfast but this didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely recommend.

Conveniently located, busy area
Conveniently located in downtown La Fortuna, this hotel is within walking distance of shops and restaurants in a lively part of town. However, the location also means it can be quite noisy, especially with the traffic on the main street. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which was a highlight of my stay. The helped suggest and book activities in the area for me which really made the trip.
Unfortunately, the mattress in my room had a deep sag on one side, making it feel like I was sinking into a hole. With better bedding, this could be a much more comfortable stay.

Very convenient location - heart of La Fortuna. We would walk to all stores, restaurants, entertainment in downtown. Beds were very uncomfortable. Hot was access was limited. There was a lot of noise from the main street in downtown. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Food was really good.

Book elsewhere!
Horrible customer service from some staff. Not all though. They argue with you after giving you a room you paid to have a pool view and it literally shows a cement wall. They tell you on booking it's 2 double beds but it ends up being 3 beds in twin size and taking up entire room. Traveler beware. See attached picture. This was a pool view room LOL They gave our 2 rooms to local costa ricans over us Americans. They argued with us too. Our second room we had to have the water fixed because it smells up the room bad.

It was overall a pleasant stay. Location is great!! The front desk lady was nice and helpful. I guess my only complaint is that WiFi and shower water temperature are not inconsistent. Also, the balcony view was not consistent with the room I booked and it did not have screen, it was very easy for the bugs to come in

Cute place for an adventure driven couple
If you want to stay downtown in a central spot this hotel is for you, right on the main road. The rooms don’t have a ton of wiggle room but you have everything you need. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the rain shower always had hot water. Maid service was daily and she always made out towels into a cute design on the bed. Breakfast was descent as well with excellent coffee and choices for hot meals (scrambled eggs, sausage, rice), pastries/breads/cereal, and tropical fruit which was always ripe and tasty! Some mornings there were more options than others (like yogurt or pancakes). The parking lot is safely secured but about 2 blocks from the hotel. The pool is somewhat awkwardly placed—there’s no area around it where you can sit and read—but we mostly used this hotel as a docking point so we could do lots of activities, and weren’t interested in using the pool. Also it was a nice touch that they give you tokens to have a delicious welcome cocktail, and the happy hour specials in the hotel bar were very reasonable. I’d stay here again! I only wish they had travel bottles of shampoo and conditioner for guests—they only had lotion.

All of the rooms face the courtyard and steakhouse restaurant. On top of this, the hotel is on the Main Street with lots of loud vehicle traffic. This results in a very noisy environment because the walls and sliding glass doors are not well insulated. The noise finally settled down around 1:00 in the morning, but then restarted around 5:00.
We seriously considered asking for a different room, until we realized all the rooms were situated the same. Our only relief was that it rained very hard the second night, and the rain hitting the surrounding tin roofs helped mask the other noises
The hotel itself is nice and in a great location across from the park and close to all the restaurants and shopping.
So if you can get past the noisy part with earplugs, you’ll enjoy your stay.
