Breakfast is the same for everyone because it’s home cooked and made that morning. It was delicious and they change it up daily. They also have some extra stuff in case you don’t always like certain items. Make them aware of dietary restrictions ahead of time. This is a small town so special supplies would be limited. The property is on a ridge so it’s crazy windy. Your room will either face the crazy wind or road.

We were very happy and satisfied with everything this place had to offer. The property is family owned and run and they strive to provide very high quality accommodations and service. Our room, as well as the view from the back (there is a look out platform) is spectacular looking over the canyon, and the resident white faced monkeys and white nosed coati add to the charm of the place. Breakfast was included, but seemed to be only a set menu. Shower had abundance of hot water. We would stay again if in the area.

Lovely, Just like home

Hotel is situated on the edge of a deep gorge ( waterfalls, killer views) and very close to Santa Elena. It is charming, spacious, exceedingly clean, very nicely appointed and very friendly. The chatelaine Nidia is a walking wikipedia of info about the area, what to do, where to go, and will make all your reservations. A charming, friendly lady with a great smile.

Highly recommended mostly because the owner was so nice and helpful. The location was also good: and it was clean and large, with a beautiful cliffside view out the back: but mainly the owner was extremely knowlegeable and nice; helpful in aranging activities and transport.

We had booked a standard double room in the older, main hotel building and were a little shocked at how small the room was. Maybe fine if you are travelling light and only staying 1 or 2 nights. Fortunately the hotel owner was able to upgrade us to a more comfortable, spacious and modern room in their newer building. There really are no other other facilities outside of the hotel so keep yourself busy at the parks and tours

This is aeauriful little hotel perched at the ridge of a gorgeous valley. The staff is helpful and kind. The room has beautiful woodwork and tile, and is comfortable and very clean. The breakfast is delicious, and they prepared it for us early on the day we had an early tour. We loved the capuchin monkeys and coalt that hang out in the back. We highly recommend staying here.

super friendly and informative owner

The room is spacious and clean and the bed is comfortable. You should see a great view from the back of the hotel. The best is the owner! She is super friendly and informative as well as lovely. She gave me a map including restaurant, shops, gas statioin, and cloud forest. She gave me an advice on the cloud forest trip, too. She helped me to use kitchen tools to peel mangos and papaya. I'll definitely come again.

Prima hotel met eigen stijl

Leuk kleinschalig hotel met eigen stijl en vriendelijke ontvangst. We hadden een kamer in het hoofdgebouw, deze grenzen wel met de deur aan de algemene ruimte maar daar heb je geen overlast van. Typisch costa ricaans ontbijt. Het hotel helpt graag met organiseren van een excursie.

Very comfortable stay

Extremely comfortable little hotel, with outstanding service. Breakfast every day is made to order; if you’re lucky, the local monkeys will stop by and say hello! WiFi is good. Shower pressure is good, but the fan is quite loud and shower curtain doesn’t keep all the water in the shower. No A/C in the rooms but a powerful fan is provided. 10 min walk to Santa Elena town and all restaurants and supermarket.

Correct.

En retrait du village, les chambres entourent la cuisine et la réception. Ainsi c'est assez bruyant dans les chambres lorsque la pièce de vie est occupée. La nuit et par mauvais temps (vent), c'est très bruyant. Nous dormons avec des boules quies, ainsi ce n'a pas été un probleme pour nous. Mais a prendre en compte si vous avez le sommeil léger. La chambre est équipée avec ce quil faut, simple et modeste. Les filles sont toutes très agréables et la propriétaire à la disposition de ses hôtes pour obtenir des informations sur les excursions ou même pour les réserver pour eux. A peine étions nous arrivés que l'on nous invitait à donner à manger aux singes et coatis qui vivent à proximité de l'hôtel. Génial! N'hésitez pas a sortir sur la terrasse et profitez de l'avancée vers le grand canyon. C'est superbe ! En somme, c'est un endroit correct pour une ou deux nuits mais peut toutefois paraitre un peu cher pour la prestation et en comparaison avec les autres étapes que nous avons pu faire au CR.

Wonderful stay at this hotel. We saw monkeys and coatis from the outside platform, which overlooks a lush valley and two waterfalls. Nidia and her staff were very gracious hosts. Nidia was able to help me book multiple excursion. Breakfast each morning was excellent. The only thing I’d recommend is to bring some ear plugs if you booked a basic room because they are next to the kitchen and road - with ear plugs you’ll be fine. I’d definitely stay here again. Great value for an excellent hotel.

Un bel hôtel à Monteverde

À notre arrivée, on a eu un très bon accueil. On s’est fait expliqué toutes les activités possibles avec leurs prix. Ils pouvaient aussi les réserver pour nous. Ils ont installé un point de vue qui donne une vue incroyable sur toute la vallée. Le déjeuner est correct et typiquement Costa Ricain. Le matin, il y a des singes domestiqués qui sont présents et qui se donnent en spectacle en passant d’arbre en arbre. La chambre était belle et propre. L’hôtel est situé à 8mim de marche du centre ville. Le seul reproche que nous pourrions faire, c’est qu’il n’y avait pas d’air climatisé dans la chambre et que la route soit très passante. Nous recommandons cet hôtel.

Väldigt trevlig personal! Hjälpsamma och gulliga. Man kände sig välkommen! Fina rum, god frukost. Det enda negativa med vår vistelse var att wi-fi inte funkade så bra. Detta pga kraftig blåst. Blåsten var också ett problem då det lät väldigt mycket på natten. Men det är ju svårt för hotellet att göra något åt vädret!

Knus klein hotel aan de rand van het stadje

Prima hotel, eenvoudig, maar alles wat je nodig hebt is er. Gelegen aan een diepe kloof, dus het kan er enorm hard waaien. In de ochtend komen de neusbeertjes bij de keuken de restjes eten halen, heel leuk.

Clean and convenient

Beautiful room. Had some issues with noise and lack of hot water, which owners promptly tried to deal with - but bring ear plugs and don't expect a steaming shower. Right off main road into town so easy to find and park and short walk to all restaurants etc. Desk able to do tour bookings. Resident white-nosed coati!!! Breakfast a bit disappointing but plentiful - cooked for you but not to order (only scrambled eggs plus fruit and toast)

Worth the trip to Monteverde...

We had a wonderful time! Room was very nice! The road was a bit noisy, but the howling wind acted as white noise. The owner had excellent recommendations for activities and even helped with the booking. The hotel is not easy to get to from San Jose, you must have a 4x4, but it is completely worth it to see the view. There is a large valley with a waterfall as their "backyard."
