hotel roble viejo — Hotel in La Fortuna

The host is a very rude man. I’ve been to so many hotels and hostels around the world and this is by far the worst one ever! The beds are filled with bugs and the room and bathroom are never cleaned. My friends and I left the room to go dining and then when we came back, the bathroom trash was still in place from the morning and the beds were not made. I asked the host for more toilet paper and what he did was go take a shower...we had to wait to use the bathroom until we had some toilet paper. The bathroom has no shampoo nor soap and it is not given. The breakfast is not free as well. The worst one was when we left our fan on to go eat breakfast and come back to a fresh room, but when we came back the room’s fan was off. This meant that the host came into my room to turn on the fan but he couldn’t change the bathroom trash. This was a horrible experience and my friends and I will never come back...

We were welcomed by the friendly Esther who is multilingual and the source of all knowledge of what to do locally. She immediately made us feel relaxed and comfortable after a long days driving in the rain and is a definite special asset to the hotel The hotel it’s self is spacious and comfortable with good mattresses and pillows!

There is a nice balcony with hammock chairs and comfy seats on the second floor and the renowned breakfast was indeed delicious.

It’s an easy walk to the town centre and restaurants and there’s parking available just outside the hostel.

Overall highly recommended and sad we only got to spend...

First, we loved the owners- Ester and Andre...what terrific hosts. And their cute little daughter, Alena. We had a fantastic 5 days at their hotel and practically became part of their family. Great breakfast and laundry service.||||The hotel itself was very modest, clean and simple (no TV in the rooms and we didn't need them anyway). Hotel is just a couple of blocks away from downtown La Fortuna where we ate lunch and dinners. Hotel is tucked away in a quiet back, safe back street. Will stay there when we go to La...
