Le Petit Hotel

Beautiful property, the shared outdoor kitchen was so nice to use and then sit and enjoy the sounds of birds and the fresh air. I now wish I could have my own! The room was fine, had all the necessary essentials and the AC worked great. The space indoor and outdoor felt safe and secure and the other guests were respectful and polite. The staff was helpful in figuring out the parking situation so that everyone could park and not get in each others' ways. One thing to be aware of is that the shower has only one water temperature: lukewarm. It was a bit of a surprise but was not a problem for us because of the warm climate. We now also realize that it's quite common in Costa Rica, the next hotel we stayed at also did not have hot water. The location was very good, away from the immediate busy areas of La Fortuna but close enough to walk or drive. There was also a popular swimming spot in the river just down the road. We would definitely consider staying here again in future visits to La Fortuna!

The room and location was as advertised. Loved the availability of the shared outdoor kitchen, if I had been staying for more than a few days. The pool is also as seen in photos. Front desk was very helpful and informative.

Swimming pool and walkable distance to downtown

Sweet little hotel, but really noisy. It's by a busy road, and the doors have gaps around the edges, so you hear all the road noise (and we were pretty fast back). Also, the walls are really thin. The first night, we heard the girls talking next door really clearly, until I knocked on the wall. Also, the beds were not fabulous. However, the outdoor kitchen in the back was really lovely! It was a great place to unwind at the end of the day. And though we had a rental car, it was nice to be able to walk into town for dinner. Overall, a good budget base camp for the Arenal Volcano.
