A beautiful, well run property that is hyper close to town center. The staff were incredibly helpful in making local recommendations and the breakfast was perfect before an adventurous day in the cloud forest!

Nothing fancy but fine for the location. The biggest problem was the tile floors were dangerously slippery and they used the same tiles in the room as the shower. It was a bit noisy. The check-in lobby was a nice place to sit and enjoy the sunshine pouring in the windows. The breakfast was fine. There's nice areas outside to sit also. There's a brand new hotel next door that had a fantastic bar and restaurant. Both were GREAT. Also, Bon Appetit, a very good local Italian restaurant is a 3 minute walk away. Make reservations!! Also, it's a short but steep walk into the town of St. Elena. The front desk arranged for our guide to the Cloud Forest who was just so-so. Overall, recommend the place.

The property and room were clean. Staff was excellent both friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were dated. Rooms would benefit from a widow screen or two to allow airflow without worry.

Well situated, decent place to stay to experience Monteverde. The front desk had wonderful preparation to help you learn about things to do in the area. The front desk also was very good at arranging tours, even at the last minute. I was very impressed by a restaurant recommendation they gave, which was, inexpensive, local, and delicious. The Wi-Fi worked, but not for video streaming. Plenty of parking on premise.

Nice ecological hotel. The stay was pleasant. The parking was not reasonable in terms of entering it - the road alignment work has to be done to make it convenient to enter the parking lot. The reception was kind to us. Reasonable breakfast.
