One night in Monteverde

We arrived late and were received with the same enthusiasm as the first customer of the day. Our rooms were clean and comfortable and the property was immaculate. Our breakfast was absolutely amazing! We loved the charm of the hotel and the staff was very accommodating. Close to everything as well.

No volverĂ­a! No lo recomiendo, por las sgts razones: Las instalaciones son sĂșper antiguas. Cero sentido de hospitalidad. El desayuno es sĂșper limitado y poco agradable. La cama estaba como “hundida” No hay aire acondicionado y tampoco se pueden abrir las ventanas por los insectos. Los alrededores de algunas habitaciones son oscuras y solitarias. El precio, no lo vale! Hay otros hoteles en la zona que por la mitad del precio, hay un desayuno espectacular, atenciĂłn al cliente excepcional, instalaciones modernas, huelen rico, se siente ese sentido de hospitalidad que le hace falta a este hotel Heliconias.

It was a different experience

When we checked on, the person working the desk spoke to me as if he had an attitude. I did not feel welcomed. The needs were not comfortable and the pillows were flat. At night, it got really cold because there is no heat in the rooms. We tried to reserve the jacuzzi, but was later told that the heater was broken. I was going to plan a proposal while in the jacuzzi, but that fell through. thought about checking out a day earlier.

Vi bokade detta ***hotell Redan vid incheckning började problemen, ingen nyckel pĂ„ plats, efter en stund fick vi en reservnyckel. VĂ€l uppe pĂ„ rummet blev vi stĂ„ende med vĂ€skorna i handen. Var detta ett rum pĂ„ ett ***hotel Suite Gulf Wiev? Åter i receptionen och sa att vi inte var nöjda med rummet, blev vi erbjudna ett nytt rum till nĂ€sta dag. Bara tanken att sova en natt pĂ„ rummet sĂ„ bestĂ€mde vi oss för att leta annat boende. Hittade ett nytt ***hotel till ett betydligt lĂ€gre pris och betydligt högre standard . Dom erbjöd utan vi frĂ„ga att hĂ€mta oss och vĂ„rat bagage. Åter i receptionen informerade jag personalen att vi checkar ut. Utan att frĂ„ga varför eller erbjuda oss nĂ„gon kompensation checkade vi ut. Detta hotel var av standarden ett *-**hotell möjligen i nivĂ„ av ett motell vi motorvĂ€gen Rekommenderar absolut ingen att boka detta hotell som utger sig och tar befallt för ett *** hotell.
