Great location & staff. AC was $25 a day extra. Save 13 per cent by paying cash either dollars or colones. Very close to everything & no climbing. Front desk very helpful & speak reasonable English. Staff always cleaning & upkeep ing property. Good security as 24 hour on duty staff

Great budget hotel

Do not book this hotel/hostel thru a third party (i.e., expedia, airbandb, etc.), especially if it’s charged in afvance. I stayed here with my daughter for a booking for 9 DAYS with Expedia and only stayed for two days. Asked nicely for some refund and nope, not even for a day.

In addition we were put in the wrong “suite” room. I did contact Expedia before and after we checked out to no avail. 

Main issue, thus the title of this review, is that Expedia charged me $79.95 per night for  a $65 dollar room (the 4 bed suite, 3 queen, 1 twin) so I overpaid by a lot. And according to Expedia I was given a member discount of $179.91. This is obviously a fake savings since that would make the room actually cost $99.94 per night! Currently on beginning stages of taking Expedia to small claims court for this.

I will admit that I should not have booked a non-refundable room, but I expected some sort of consideration, especially from one of the lowest-rated hotels/hostels in the area.

Pros: a/c, minifridge in room, communal kitchen, private bathroom and balcony in suite, and at the center of Montezuma. Staff was nice

Cons: no hot water, ants in the room and outside in balcony, construction material in the walkways, hard beds with tiny blankets, no TV, poor wi-fi

All in all, we were not happy and left early. Montezuma is a cute little town, just stay somewhere else unless you’re really roughing it or for a night.



DO NOT BOOK THROUGH EXPEDIA OR OTHER THIRD PARTY!! Go in person

It’s a great place to spend the night close to town

The place is located close to the beach and restaurants. We loved our stay here being able to do some work in between hikes and sunbathing. Friendly staff and people from all over the world stayed there so it was a good vibe.

Good location

Hotel Aurora was wonderful. The reception was friendly, welcoming and clean. The shared kitchen is well equipped and kept nice and tidy by the guests and staff. The beds were comfortable and clean. The room had a mini fridge and coffee maker. The location is probably the best part as it's right on the corner when you get into little Montezuma. Walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, bars and two nice beaches. I will be staying there again.

Great Spot!

Hotel Aurora was perfect for my short stay (one night) in Montezuma. I was solo backpacking through Costa Rica and stopped here in route to Jaco Beach (via taxi-boat that departed from the beach in walking distance from hotel). Montezuma is a great small town with incredible beaches and good vibes!

This hotel was built in 1989 and definitely has it's own charm despite the rust. Montezuma is a hidden gem along the Nicoya coast.

This hostel is amazing!! The room was big and clean, fresh towels, hot water in the shower and a fridge in the room. Love it. My friend and me wanted to stay one night and ended up staying 4 nights. The hostel is close to the beach and the small town. Really relaxed vibes. The hostel has also hammocks and Elias is super helpful, friendly and he made our stay perfect. 


Best hostel in Montezuma

Nice simple place to stay. Security guard at night was a bit overbearing but also made us feel safe. I would stay here again

At the reception they don’t speak English.
Despite my booking the didn’t kept my room but they kept the deposit.
At the end, I over paid (as I was told Hostelworld should refound me as they didn’t kept any deposit and this was why the didn’t have the room 🤥).
The room are nice but the kitchen and the common spaces are dirty and the atmosphere is poor.
I think there are better accommodation and more friendly people elsewhere...it was the worst hotel out of 9 different hotels in Costa Rica
