Everybody working there was very nice. The breakfast is great. The courtyard is also nice and quiet and lush. They have good deals with a lot of the tours. The neighbourhood is quiet since it’s away from the main street. The rooms are spacious and clean.

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.
