Monteverde Hostels

We really liked this place. It is not top end luxury, but it is clean, comfortable and has a very convenient location. The nature trail, common areas, pool area and gardens are all very well maintained. The included breakfast was also very high quality and the reception staff were all very welcoming and friendly. We would happily stay here again. The only minor complaint is that food prices in the restaurant were a little high, but it's not a big issue given there are many places to eat close by that offer better value.

The Monteverde country lodge staff has my deepest and sincere thanks for their outstanding care for my wife while visiting the cloud forest. The staff from Natalia, Fernando and Abbey were sincere in the care for us while many miles from home. I cannot emphasize enough how much they went out to help during a health issue. I thank each staff member for the cared shown. The massage at the sister hotel was excellent as well. We will be back. The La Fontana Bar and Restaurant, staff, particularly, Fernando were very friendly and went our of their way to ensure our stay was truly memorable. Pura vida!!

The room has no windows, but most of the time is outside and the hotel has a lot of public space.

The hotel consists of many buildings spread across a hillside. Shuttle service is available between hotel buildings, but not to off-property locations. Internet service/WiFi was not available near the rooms (also noted in someone's review from last month) and cell phone reception was very spotty. The bathroom area lighting is very dim. Noise from the hallway and outside can be bothersome as the only ventilation is through open window slats which is OK for the climate, but if you pull down the ceiling to floor shades/curtains for privacy, the ventilation slats are blocked. I would not rate the hotel anywhere near ”78” for walkability as shown in the TripAdvisor summary. The grounds are nice and wildlife is around but depending upon which building your room is in, it could be 1/2 mile or more up/down a steep incline from/to the restaurant & lobby common areas where WiFi was available, you'll need to call for a shuttle and wait 5 - 15 minutes for a ride. The restaurant and food were good and staff were friendly. The room was clean and large, but had limited furnishings. Our room had no decoration and the only two chairs were for the balcony, there were no chairs inside the room.
