This property was good for the price. It’s clean and comfortable. The property is dated but the owners really make this property a very nice stay. They are very accommodating and also helped with booking our tram reservation and provided recommendations for local eateries. We would stay again. Keep I mind if you have difficulty with stairs ask for the bottom floor rooms. Pura vida

Room was clean comfortable and the hotel was in good location for heading out to the numerous attractions including the cloud forest. Isa was very welcoming and brimming with advice on where to go and what to do. Included breakfast is provided at a cafe literally 1 minute walk away. The included breakfast option offered for us was just 2 items plus coffee. To be honest it was fine for me on a budget. Right across the street is an excellent Indian restaurant, make sure you try their home infused gins.

The hotel is just off one of the main roads, not far out of town center. It is not new, but it is clean, quiet and felt safe. We enjoyed two rooms with a small foyer area and a shared bathroom in the center. We also used the public space outside of our room. We sat in the hallway (pictured in the photos) and looked out at the (for us) exotic birds visiting outside. Breakfast was included, provided at the neighboring cafe, with a choice of either eggs and toast with fruit or pancakes with fruit. The cafe had a wonderful view over the valley.

Cozy B&B

This is a small, family-owned hotel, more like a B&B. Isaura and her husband were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was provided and was enjoyable. The property is super cute. Isaura provided laundry service for a small fee and helped us find activities. The room was quite small. We were booked for 5, which would have been impossible, but my husband couldn't join us. Even with 4 it was a tight fit. But now that I look again at the reservation, I see we should have had the enjoining room with queen bed and I'm disappointed we didn't use it while there. All in all, a pleasant stay!

The lady at reception (perhaps the owner?) could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much. The breakfast across the road (very short walk) at cafe cappuccino was decent and the place had an incredible view (especially at sunset). It’s a short walk down to the main town to reach all the shops & restaurants but it’s quite a walk back up! There are a lot of very steep hills. The room itself was ok, good sized bed & ensuite. It was just very dark, only a small window in the bathroom and the large bedroom window looked out into the hallway where people could see directly into my room so I had to close the curtains most of the time. It was also very noisy, you can hear others in their rooms and especially when in the hallway, it’s like they’re in your room. Overall a good stay.

We enjoyed our stay, any information written here is for other travelers information, not a critique. I would certainly stay there again. Owners are lovely. Room was clean, beds comfortable, shower had nice hot water. Breakfast was tasty, two choices of either eggs or pancakes with accompanying toast/fruit/coffee. They are upgrading and have some fairly major construction going on. The noise was during reasonable hours ~8am until sometime before we got back from our day (6ish). There is limited parking but we managed ok. The area seemed safe to us (single woman and child). You can walk to some sodas and restaurants and there is a minimart very close. You can walk downtown but its a very steep hill coming back. Its close to major attractions, all within 10min or so. My onky co.plaint was a yappy dog sometime in the early morning, it could be a neighbors dog though which obviouslythe owners have no control over. As said before, i wouldnt hesitate to return or reccomend.

We stayed here as a family of 4 in March with two teenage boys, in the family room. It had a frosted glass door entrance, and then beyond that was two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. One bedroom had two twin beds and a TV, the other had a queen bed and no TV. Bathroom had a standup shower. Water was plenty hot but the pressure is very low. Heads up you cannot put toilet paper in the toilet here, has to go in the garbage can. Breakfast was in the dining area down the hall. You have two options of either pancakes fruit or eggs and toast fruit. Both breakfast options were delicious. Also included coffee/tea and juice. Family run hotel and the owners were lovely. Very friendly and helpful when we had questions. The hotel was a but noisy at night from our room because we had an exterior wall and the dirtbikes are quite loud. My boys in the other room heard nothing all night. Location is convenient, we were able to walk into downtown Santa Elena in about 10-15 minutes. Keep in mind it all hills, downhill to town and uphill back. Grocery store and mini market close by as well as some restaurants. Overall excellent value for the money, and nice to be in a very small, family-run hotel. Also enjoyed the hotel cat, Lulu :)

Room was clean and staff was welcoming and helpful. Location is convenient for walking into town, 15-20min walk but hilly. Light breakfast that was included was a pleasant surprise. No regrets staying here given the price. However, rooms were noisy...could hear neighbors, dogs barking, and outside traffic.
