All good except the 4AM wake up calls!

For the price was hard to beat when I booked online. All looked fantastic in the picts and for the most part all was great. The room was comfortable. Was nice to have a little fridge to keep drinks cold. The AC was sufficient. The breakfast was good. The staff were also very friendly. The only complaint is the nearby roosters. They started at 4AM. This is the sole reason would not stay again.

Once was enough

If you want a restful night sleep this isn't the place. Location is on the corner of the two busiest streets, very loud, motorcycles and trucks all night long. The hotel and bar are CASH only. It was almost clean, I guess they like to conserve because there was left over used soap in the shower, but the towels were clean. The pool wasn't useable unless you wanted to catch something. It was so green with algae only frogs could live in it.

Simple, clean, professional

George greeted us immediately upon our arrival. He was friendly and helpful. The room was simple and clean with a balcony and a/c (much appreciated!) not much of a view but we didn't stay in the room much anyway. The bathroom was nice with a big glass shower but there was no door, not really sure what the deal was with that. But other than that, no complaints! Great location right in town with plenty of restaurants within walking distance and BEAUTIFUL view of the volcano if the clouds clear enough to see it, which it did for us

Nice hotel

I had a good time at Hotel Central Loft. The room was nice and clean, it had a fridge and balcony. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was good. The hotel is in a central location but wasn't too noisy. I found the staff really friendly and helpful - they helped us to organize tours and got us good rates, and generally went above and beyond in my view. I also enjoyed the breakfast - really tasty. Good value for money and I would recommend to anyone.

Right in Town

The hotel is right in the centre of town and, as a result, there is alot of street noise making a quiet sleep not very likely. The noise is a trade off for being able to walk around town. That said, the rooms are spacious with high ceilings and very clean. We had a room with two double beds. There is a dresser, a nightstand and a flat screen tv on the dresser. The rooms also have a small refrigerator which was really nice to have. The rooms could use some hangers by the door to put clothes or rain gear on. The bathrooms are also spacious but do not have any place to put toileteries. They could put in a shelf. Our room had a small balcony. There is a small pool with nice landscaping but no lounge chairs, just some cement tables and benches. During our stay, the wifi did not work until the last day but it had good reception when it did work. Breakfast is included and offers 3 choices of pancakes with fruit, traditional tico breakfast and a continental breakfast. The food was good but with all of the fresh fruit, it was disappointing to have only orange juice that comes in a box or bottle.

The Staff Does Not Care Much About Your Well Being

There is a heavy set guy who runs the front desk but does not speak English. I told him I wanted to leave Monteverde and arrive in Tamarindo. The Interbus (the main form of tourist transportation) wasn't available the next day so he convinced me to take the public bus. This guy left me at a bus stop, and told me the bus I needed would come in 15 minutes. I waited for 2 hours only to use my broken spanish to find out it doesn't come at that stop at all! I ended up using my broken spanish to navigate to Tamarindo via 3 buses, a taxi and some minor hitchhiking. It took 8 hours. I called him and he didn't seem too concerned. The hotel is fine, it's near the rainforest but don't trust the front desk too much for itinerary planning.

Disorganized Staff

Could've been much better, however it seems they were in the middle of a lot of repairs to the building and computer booking system. They overbooked my reservation and were initially planning on moving me to another hotel. Turns out they just had their books all out of order and my room was available and everything was fine from then on.

Hotel Arenal Jireh is the worst hotel we have stayed in. Our stay at the hotel was miserable. The hotel is stripped. The towels are paper thin. They should be used to wipe the floor. My children and I slept with no covers as the sheets smelled like urine. No telephones in the rooms. You cannot communicate with the front desk should you need anything. No TV. The neighbors around the hotel have roosters that didn't allow us to sleep all night. Terrible stay!!

excellent budget location in downtown La Fortuna

nice location, the hotel is a bit on the budget side. Pool was not heated at the days we were there, but we did not mind as there was just too much to do around. The breakfast was included, and it was a basic Costa Rica breakfast, but a reasonable one. They have a nice secure parking spot. You can see the volcano right from some rooms.

A cute boutique hotel. It has a lot if charm. The staff was attentive and helpful. Centered in town it was easy to get to sites & restaurants. A very reasonable price and a nice stay. The lava lounge is across the street, a very yummy restaurant. Plus great views of the volcano from third floor.

Hotel Jireh in La Fortuna - good view of volcano

We made reservation for Hotel Jireh but actually stayed at another hotel around the corner. Guess they were overbooked due to local Easter week holiday. Room was clean and had nice bathroom with large shower. Location was great. Pool was small but nice. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Had to drive a few kilometers to see volcano. Typical american or costa rican breakfast. Would stay here again.

Pool out of service without notification, breakfast late, very noisy

While the staff was friendly enough, we were surprised to find the the pool was empty. We were told it would be filled the next day, but it wasn't, so out of luck on that one. This should have been mentioned on the hotel's site. Further breakfast was officially available at 7:00, but not really until closer to 7:30, giving us 5 minutes to gulp down something before our 7:30 pickup. The noise from the street requires earplugs to be able to even consider sleeping. Reasonable clean, however.
