They were always there to help me with anything I needed, a special shoutout to Rodrigo for going above and beyond. Secondly, the location of the hotel was perfect, right in the center of all the action. I had plenty of restaurants and shops nearby and it was so convenient for accessing all the attractions in the area.

    Magnificent courtyard. Prime downtown location. Seclusive options for couples. Romantic room decorations. Comfortable beds filled with roses. Affordable cost for a weekend stay. Supermarket right next door. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Helpful receptionists. Pool with hammocks and chairs. Bar and kitchen on-site.

    During our week-long Costa Rican vacation, we stayed at Arenal Poshpacker in La Fortuna. The central courtyard was magnificent, creating a truly aesthetic atmosphere. The location is prime, allowing us to easily explore the downtown area. Despite being labeled as a "hostel", this place caters to couples as well, offering seclusive and romantic options. The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated with roses, adding a special touch. The best part? The cost was incredibly affordable, making it a great value for our two-night weekend stay.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep after a long day of exploring. The lockers in the dormitory were huge, offering ample space to store my belongings. the strong WiFi connection was a definite bonus, allowing me to easily stay connected with friends and family.

    The noise from pool parties near the bar could sometimes get quite loud in the evenings, making it difficult to relax. the WiFi in my room was a bit patchy, forcing me to rely on my mobile data instead.

    Great amenities and location. The pool area was a relaxing spot to chill and you could also use the kitchen for your meals. The fresh towels, air conditioning and peaceful atmosphere were appreciated.

    The room was too small for 3 people and their luggage. , some basic amenities like hangers, shelves, and proper maintenance were missing.
