    There's a lot of heart and soul in this place. The Argentinian couple that run it really care and they host events most days for guests to explore the area, meet each other and generally make the most of being in La Fortuna. We had a big private room at the back. There were some emergency repairs happening outside but our hosts made sure we were looked after. Nice homely kitchenand communal dining area.

    there is only one shower in the room so it can be busy sometimes.

    Laura and Lautaro are really lovely, we wouldn’t have discovered La Fortuna as we did without them. They make you feel like home, the place is really clean and the rooms are really good, they also organise dinner that make a great ambiance in the hostel.

    Fan strength in the room wasn’t too strong and the dorm bathroom wastebaskets should be replaced with larger ones. Even though they were regularly replaced with a new bin liner, in the night there seemed to be mounding TP in the shape of a volcano…..

    Small hostel, lockers outside the rooms, maps on the walls of activities and things to do in the area, cool-ish in the common area, good sized kitchen for cooking

    Payment via PayPal became a slight issue with me having to pay additional because the option of family and friends wasn't an option when paying and I could only see business. Payment via a card machine would be easier for guests. Other than that it was a great stay!

    The room was clean and nice! The communal area too, it had a friendly atmosphere and was very relaxed. Great location too. They were very helpful with anything we needed and welcoming. Would definitely recommend! Great value.

    the bunk beds move a lot, if your on the bottom bunk you’ll get waken up by any movement by the person on the top bunk. no safety cabinets either

    clean and in a good location

    The kitchen lacks some utensils but in a way cooking is feasible with what they provide. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner but it was fine.

    The location is great - quiet neighborhood but still with walkable distance anywhere. It’s a very small hostel so you easily connect with everyone. The owners know (almost 😉) everything so they’ll provide you with all the information you need. The tours offered were all great and reasonable prices! Would stay again!!

    the furniture are a bit updated and could be improved to make it a bit more comfy. but it is not the most important .

    nice team running the hostel, with great vibes to meet people. nice location, calm street close to center by foot.

    we had a lot of problems with our room and the shower facilities which did not work and seemed quite dangerous. We were however given a new upgraded room for the last two nights which was much better. As I said above if it wasn’t for the super friendly staff this place would of got a much lower score. I really hope they over come there starting up issues and a have a great successful business good luck x

    No towls and nothing to hang up the clothes. Very easy accomondation. But of course, a hostel. We are about 35 yo, maybe we were just to old for a hostel. If you want an easy amd cheap stay, go for it.

    Great location. Made really cool world-travelling friends. Ana and Jana, who were helping at the hostel, are trilingual and made my stay very enjoyable. The owners are very kind and helpful, leading by example. There were lots of activities and excursions to do. I would definitely stay here again next time.
