    Cracking hostel, don't think la fortuna could possibly have anything better than this. Great fun, friendly people, nice room, good social area, and warm pool. They helped us organise our tours and the prices were fair. Would definitely recommend!

    The hotel is in the downtown area of La Fortuna, very close to all the restaurants and stores. The rooms are cozy and very quiet even though it is in the centre of the city. They also had a common kitchen area.
