Selina la Fortuna

Perfect location for everything in town. Staff are friendly but also leave you too it. The pool as bar area are cool and popular at night so may be noisy depending on which room you have. There are enough basic facilities but no hairdryer!

We booked the Standard room, at check-in the receptionist said that we had booked the tepee. Despite showing her the booking confirmation, she kept insisting that it was wrong room, and the Standard room is only available for 2 nights not for the full 4 nights. Told me that this always happens with the booking platform, wrong room advertised, and that I can get a refund for the remaining two nights. I informed her that is not my error and that should be between them and the booking platform, she then proceeded to tell me that it’s my problem as well. The place and the room itself was horrible, it was a blessing is disguise that we didn’t stay there for the full 4 nights. It smelled, run down, dusty and just unpleasant. Staff wasn’t friendly nor did they care about customer service. The way the lady handled herself at check-in ruined our first night in Costa Rica, it could have been handled so differently if she had dealt with it professionally. Trip.com refunded the two-night stay. We stayed at Selina in Panama and that was also rather disappointing.

Great hospitality, cool property, with lots of fun areas and a coworking space for the digital nomads. Monica at the tours desk was really helpful- if you have no clue what you want to do when you arrive, she will help you find and book all the tours for you. All the tours that I booked with the hostel and were very well guided.

The perfect stay! We stayed the night in the suite room which was stylish, had it's own balcony, a very comfortable bed, great shower, an enormous television, AC, free coffee and a mini bar. It was like a hotel room and had loads of space. It was quiet while also being in a hostel where you could mix and take part in activities. The food was brilliant, the dogs were cute and the staff were really friendly and helpful (and taught us loads of Spanish!). There was a pool and even a spa on site that had great deals (we sadly couldn't go). On checkout they stored our bags until we were ready to move to our next accommodation and we got a Selina bracelet as a souvenir for our stay.

Fantastic time at the selina. Enjoyed free yoga and the great bar with tasty food and lovely staff. Stayed in the deluxe room for one night which felt very luxurious with a lovely shower and fab air con, comfy *huge* bed. Then followed on with 2 nights in the tee pee, hot hot hot, but a lovely experience and slept very soundly as it was quiet until around 9am when the morning yoga started. Again the bed was really comfy albeit smaller as expected with the price. We paid for laundry service which was steep at $15 however they had everything washed and dried in 6 hours, folded it up. Had a great time here and would definitely recommend, very much a safe haven in La Fortuna. Also the bar is definitely worth a visit!
