This place was amazing!! The owner lady was super nice when we got there and then our double-bed room was the homiest room ever. To top it all off, it's in the center of the main hub of La Fortuna. My friend and I chose this place because it was affordable, but we were pleasantly surprised when we realized this was probably the most conveniently placed location we could've asked for. Coffee house, supermarkets, restaurants, and more, were all in just a few minutes walking distance. Also FAS gets you free breakfast at the steakhouse down the block! What made this place even better was that our EasyHop and Viator bookings had the option to pick us up right from FAS. We barely had to do anything to get around to our activities for each day. Some things to help you be super ready for your stay here are: be prepared to be a little confused with the water (cold is labeled hot, and hot is labeled cold). Also, if you're using everything at the same time, the hot water and outlets can stop working (I was taking a long shower and my friend was blasting the AC). But luckily! The staff is super responsive and they come address your needs in a moment's notice. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

Super convenient, homey, clean, and affordable. No complaints.

The staff made the stay at the hotel. They were friendly and helpful. Before we left we ended up with ear piercings, massages, our laundry done and a ride to our next hotel. The owner was available at pretty much a moments notice.  We had a delicious breakfast across the street, included in the stay. We would definitely come back here.

For a Fun and Friendly Stay

Simple clean rooms in the center of town. Jovani from the desk, helped us to understand our options of activities in the area. And we enjoyed very much after following his recommendations. This place fitted our needs in all levels. Thank you!

Central, clean and friendly helpful staff

Don’t let past reviews scare you away from this place. Either the people writing them had exaggerated things or this property has had a major transformation... or some combination of both. We had a short stay but good price and awesome staff especially Yuane who we dealt with primarily. He was helpful, charismatic, and spoke English fluently. Room was clean, AC worked well. Location was great for proximity to town. Off site thermal amenity was awesome with warm, hot, and cool pools. Access is free with room. Breakfast was excellent and is also included. If you use both of these perks the price is extremely reasonable. If we return we will be staying here again!

Excellent amenities and friendly staff. Great option in La Fortunate.

This hotel went above and beyond our expectations. It is not luxurious, it was simple and just what we were looking for. We originally rented a room at a luxurious resort called Miradas Arenal Hotel -- it was awful, so bad we left in the middle of the night and our new friend Derek (who owns Hotel Fas) bailed us out, made us feel safe and comfortable and even planned excisions for us. My mother and I were on a vacation for her retirement and we made good friends with Derek and couldn't have been happier we stayed at his hotel. Its close to town, laundry was on site, it was $50/night and he made us feel like family. We would 100% recommend staying here if you just need a safe, quiet place to rest your head. Love, your American friends Olivia and Deborah.

Above and beyond!

this hotel is very close to bus terminal.and it has information center about activities in arenal area.venga comfortable!

close to bus terminal

I was lucky to book 2 nights last minute during the Christmas/New Year's rush. My room was clean, cozy and cute...perfect for a single female traveler. The location is safe and the proximity to everything you'd need is easily walkable. I loved being able to get a ride to the Thermal springs one day, and Arenal Park the next by the hospitable hosts. I felt pampered and genuinely looked after concerning making my stay pleasant and stress-free. I did have to purchase a plug-in adapter at the local grocery store to be able to charge my phone. The TV had the only USB port, and it wouldn't charge my phone above 35%. The linen for bathroom and beds could be upgraded for a more luxurious feel...however IMPO cleanliness and friendliness are my top priorities when choosing accommodations.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great experience

We stayed in three different rooms over the course of two days.  It was a last-minute booking - we crammed 5 people into one 1st-floor room the first night, then they found us two rooms on the 2nd floor for our second night.  They were also nice enough to move all our luggage to our new rooms while we were at the hot springs.

We got a package deal for our 2nd night which included two rooms for one night, B&B breakfast, plus full entrance to Baldi hot springs with lunch and dinner for 4 adults and 1 child.  It cost $368.20 (after conversion from CRC to USD by my credit card company), and I consider this a good value based on our enjoyment of Baldi (see my review of that).   

The rooms are a decent size, reasonably well maintained for a small B&B, with nice porch areas (particularly the upper level).  Working flat-screen TVs, A/C, and mini-fridge in our rooms were nice.  WiFi worked well.  Large shower stalls.  

A sign in the room indicates that the penalty for smoking is a whopping $5, which probably explains why (I think) I detected a very slight odor of residual smoke in our first room - I could have imagined it; if I didn't it wasn't bad or overpowering or anything. 

Basic breakfast - eggs, toast, CR's ubiquitous version of "breakfast juice" (not quite as bad as Sunny Delight but definitely not Tropicana), and of course pina.  Perfectly adequate for a few bucks.  Probably coffee too but I don't drink that so I didn't notice.

There is a grass parking area right in front of the rooms, secured by a gate.  If all rooms are occupied, imagine the parking lot as a full Tetris grid - don't expect to leave until the last person in at night wakes up, but it's CR so everybody is friendly, Pura Vida.  

This B&B is nicely located - you can easily take a walking tour around La Fortuna from here, and there is a super(market) right next door.  

Only minor problems were:  Not enough towels or toilet paper given at first (thanks, Google Translate, for knowing "papel higienico"!), leaky toilet water supply (which explains why it was turned off, which I didn't find out until the first flush).  Nothing major.  

It's really hard to rate places in CR because most aren't trying to be luxury hotels.  I tend to rate them based on my results vs. expectations given the price, and/or the friendliness of the service.  It's not like this is a 4-star hotel or anything; I'd probably rate it 3.5 stars if I could, but given the overall pleasant experience we had and pleasant interaction with the staff, a "very good" rating seems warranted.  

I'd stay here again.

Nice, central location in La Fortuna, decently outfitted rooms, only minor problems encountered

The location was very close to the bus station and close to restaurants and other activities.  The staff were very good and helped us when needed.  The breakfast was continental with a toast and fruit.  The negatives were that the street at times was loud and the wifi was poor.

Great value

Just sreps from bus station. Tour info in same lobby.  Somewhat noisy as in center of town.  Incorrectly advertises as B and B.  Breakfast was just coffee and toast.  Other hotels gave me a full breakfast with fruit, gallo pinto and eggs.  Comfortable and convenient for the price.Travel tip: Do hike in or do a tour of LArenal. Do check out the free hot springs river. DON'T take a 9$ cab ( each way) to La Fortuna waterfall and pay an additional 15$ to get in.  $33 just to see a waterfall is not worth it!!
