Clean safe budget option
Great budget option in La Fortuna with a few private rooms (it's actually a hostel). I stayed in a private room. Clean, typical breakfast and coffee, and friendly staff. And easy walking distance to bars and restaurants.

Great price and impressive service
We were impressed with the how clean and how extremely helpful and nice the entire staff was. Breakfast was more than hopped for. Room was basic but clean and AC worked nicely. If you are on a budget, you get more than you pay for here. Thanks again to the entire staff at La Choza for a wonderful stay.

Nice stay
Convenient location. Room was clean. Front desk staff was helpful with everything you need.
Brandy, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The pictures does this place more justice than actually being here. This place is more for people on a solo trip. It gives more college free spirit vibe than friends and family. They give you a free shuttle service to one of the hot springs in la Fortuna which is a big thing out there. When we went to check out one of the staff was popping an older man’s pimples off his back and just waved us off. So we found that very unsanitary and the water was not hot, so we had to take a cold shower.

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the vibe of the place, the rooms are spacious, clean with nice view of the Volcan Arenal. The breakfast was amazing, home cooked Costa Rican breakfast. Location was very central to La Fortuna town, and overall great value for money.
