“Good value, moderate hotel, would use again.”

Moderate hotel good value; nice property in good neighborhood - walk 2 or 3 blocks to heart of Fortuna and restaurants. Friendly, helpful staff. I would return and recommend to friends. A mini-fridge would be nice, but would probably increase the rates a little. A good base for area tours and activities.

“I would recommend this hotel. Affordable, sweet in a lovely area for touring.”

We had plans to see the Arenal National Park in Costa Rica and using Expedia we booked a stay at the Hotel San Bosco in La Fortuna. The volcano Arenal overlooks this sweet town and is quite breathtaking to see. The main street is filled with local people/families and tourists..but it's not overwhelmingly full of tourists. The Hotel San Basco is a few blocks off the main street which is refreshing. It has a beautiful view of the volcano and the plants are rich and colorful within the hotel grounds. The room was basic and and sweet and what was very nice was the price. Very reasonable. The pool area and breaksfast site are attractive and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The neighborhood felt safe as well. The hotel has tours arranged from the site and they are helpful with making arrangements for you..our total favorite trip (in all of Costa Rica) was the Rain Forest Canopy-11 bridges tour, we also enjoyed zip lining and hot springs and wet/bar at Los Lagos, a beautiful waterfalls in the area and the volcano tour. I would recommend the Hotel San Bosco in La Fortuna to my friends and family.

“Wonderful Hotel”

We loved this hotel. Clean, quiet residential location but close to main street. Gorgeous pool. If its not raining or cloudy, the view of the volcano from the upper deck would be the best in town. Staff was super friendly and helpful, except waiter at breakfast buffet. Refused to give us eggs even though manager said they were included in buffet if you asked for them. Had to get manager directly involved. Would definitely stay there again. Go to the booth outside the Vienna Bakery and take a naturalist tour with Giovanni. It was great and right on the edge of town.

“Great location and very friendly staff”

Great location for La Fortuna town, the hotel is clean, quiet and has a nice pool and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The staff very very helpful with booking tours, ensuring they were the right thing for us, and it didn't feel like a big sell on their part. Great value for money, I would definitely recommend the hotel.

“Much better than expected!”

The price of this hotel was the lowest among the four we stayed during the trip. But it offered the best breakfast and was located in a very convenient location. The recptionists were very patient and helpful.

“Would definitely recommend”

Great location, great staff, wonderful breakfast. Very clean in every way - beautiful garden. Ample free parking. Felt safe walking around the town and also being in the complex. Nice friendly atmosphere all around. Only 10 minutes away from Baldi Hot Springs (a definite must-do day trip). Lots of restaurants to walk to, including 'sodas' to get the real authentic local food. Pool and hot tub open to 10pm and a great view (if not clouded over) of the non-active side of volcano. La Fortuna is a great spot for so many activities - hiking, atv'g, canopy tours, zip trekking, waterfalls, etc. Will definitely go back.

“Beautiful and restful”

Beautiful hotel just off the main street in La Fortuna. Rooms were small but lovely. Only downside was that the TV was up high on the wall and since the room was so narrow it was hard to watch TV. Our other room had the TV on the dresser. Open air tipical breakfast was lovely.

“Perfect place to relax and two steps away from downtown La Fortuna”

Hotel San Bosco is a great low-key place to stay right in downtown La Fortuna. The hotel has its own parking area and courtyard area with pool. It is a great base for families or anyone who wants just to relax after traveling all day. It is very comfortable but not luxurious. The hotel staff is very friendly. I already recommended the hotel to travelers I met later in our vacation.

“Loved Lafortuna”

Hotel San Basco was in a very convenient location near the Arenal Volcano area. Check-in was quick and our room was really big. There was a nice pool and two hot tubs. For the cost I expected something much less and was very pleasantly surprised. I would definitely recommend them.

“Perfect hotel for LA Fortuna Costa Rica!”

If you are going to La Fortuna, this is the hotel to book!! The hotel is centrally located in town. You can walk to town to site see, shop and grab food. The hotel had great breakfast, fast internet, cold A/C, was clean and the hotel staff were very helpful! There are fancy hotels on the volcano flow side...But, you will need to take a taxi into town from those hotels. Also, the lava has not flowed since Oct/Nov 2010 - so those other hotels are not a big benefit! A couple of hints: Book your excursions at Fortuna Hostel (see Manual). The hostel is two blocks away from San Bosco and Manual has the best deals for excursions. Don't eat at NENE's Restaurant - EXPENSIVE (and the food was terrible!) Eat typical Costa Rican meals at "Sodas" for good value!
