The hotel is not the cheapest option but offers rooms placed conveniently on the ground level, next to a 10-bed dormitory with a perfect shared bathroom setup. The location is far enough away from noise, and additional facilities like a shared toilet and shower are nearby. The service is friendly and includes a welcome drink activity to meet other travelers, with helpful staff offering great suggestions, especially at the organized tours desk. The dining options are good with great food overlooking the river, although with a limited breakfast selection. The location is superb, with a fun atmosphere including a bonfire, close to the heart of La Fortuna and bike stations, offering easy access to various restaurants and bars.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On the one hand, the location was amazing, with a vibrant atmosphere and plenty of facilities to enjoy. However, the noise from the street in my room was a major downside that affected my sleep quality.

I stayed at the hotel and had a mixed experience. The rooms were better than the second one, but unfortunately, next to the peak time bathroom for dorm use, which was pretty disturbing. On the bright side, there were multiple common areas like the bar, pool, library, and movie room. However, storing a backpack was a bit of a hassle to avoid stepping on everyone's belongings in the dormitory.
