Wonderful and attentive staff. Secure and safe. Will definitely stay again.

What a great place to stay. Well located, close to everything, great breakfast, super clean. Everybody was kind and helpful. The hot springs at Volcano Lodge (same owner) are something else. Great place to relax and enjoy just 10 mins from San Bosco. My experience in La Fortuna was the best. I will definetely come back to this hotel.

We had back to back reservations because we decided to stay an extra night in Arenal/La Fortuna. Our first room was #40. It was small for 3 adults. They switched us to room #34. It has 2 double beds and a twin bed. It was roomier. The housekeeping staff changed our towels and made our beds every day. They also made towel animals Breakfast buffet was just ok. Same things for 4 days.

Everything was good. Clean room, good breakfast but the furniture needs an upgrade. The hotel is conveniently located within less than a 5 minutes walk to the center of the town. Additionally, there are multiple tours kiosks you may want to stop by before getting the deals from the hotel.

WE ABSOLUTELY WERE SURPRISED WITH THE QUALITY OF SERVICE FROM THE FRONT DESK STAFF. THE PLACE IS VERY GOOD, PERFECT LOCATION AND THE PRICE WE PAID WAS VERY INEXPENSIVE. FOOD IS EXCELENT IN THE SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, ONE BEING THE LOWEST AND 10 THE HIGHEST, DON BOSCO DESERVES AND ELEVEN FOR WHAT WE PAID

Loved it! Would stay here again. Great location, good tea, good food. Close to the waterfall.

Nice hotel with breakfast and a view of the volcano (when weather permits). It has a pool, but the best perk of this hotel is it gives you access to the volcano lodge and hot springs, which has a multi level hot spring and a separate hot springs bar with jacuzzis. The hot springs aren’t as elaborate as the pay for hot springs, but they are nice.

We stayed here out due to it was near the volcano springs (Baldi). It’s in a small town. It was very open hotel with a pool. Breakfast was very good. The rooms are a bit small with a smaller ac unti than I preferred. review the pictures and make sure it’s what you want before you book.

The San Bosco Inn was very easy to book, they had lots of tour options available at the front desk, the staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean, you can buy delicious sushi from the restaurant next door within the hotel grounds by the pool, the pools are nice, there is an ok view of the volcano from the hotel. Overall was a great place to stay, would stay there again, and would recommend. Oh and the breakfast was very good!

The gardens and buildings are beautiful as well as the view of the volcano, Arenal. The rooms are a bit plain on the inside, but comfortable. I have stayed here at least 6 times, and always have been treated well. The breakfast is absolutely fabulous!

Fabulous, super nice pool, staff, cofree and tea all day, yummy breakfast and much as you wanted. A/C, nice areas to sit around property. 5 star! !! Wonderful location, close to town and nice and quiet. Beautiful views. Wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Hotel staff went above and beyond to accommodate me during my stay. San Bosco's owner also owns a resort with hot springs just outside of town and you have access to the springs, but must provide your own transportation. The hotel itself is located within walking distance of downtown, and is well known enough that it's no issue for drivers to find. They offer breakfast at 6:30, however, I was there at 6:50 and it was not fully set up. Also, beware they offer a soap dispenser in the shower, not an actual bar of soap. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend/stay again.

Good basic hotel. We got free armbands to go to the Volcano Lodge and Springs which was great! Very nice pool and hot springs there. Both hotels are owned by the same person.

It was a nice one-night stay. At check-in we received a present we were not aware of at booking; which made our stay even better. The breakfast is really good. The hotel is just one block away from La Fortuna Plaza, but it is really quiet at night. We were very happy with this hotel.

Grounds are kept very clean, breakfast was very nice and staff made this hotel AWESOME!

Loved the hotel, front desk guys were friendly and helpful. Short walk to pharmacia, panderia, groceries, etc. Quiet location . nice pool and hot tub. Iguanas and hummingbirds in beautiful garden in front of room. Free breakfast was awesome, fresh fruits, juices, coffee, pasteries, cereal, eggs, potatoes, sausage, etc , buffet style, every day something different. So much to do in the area as far as hikes, must do hanging bridges-$24. water park nearby was nice $12/day it had several swimming pools some heated by hotsprings. The volcano had nice hikes at various locations. We rented a car- watch for scam at rental place were they sell you additional insurance. We picked up several locals as we drove from place to place-many don't have transportation and rely on someone who knows them to drive by and pick them up. Don't be afraid to ask folks if they need a ride during day it is safe and they can give you ideas on what to see and how to save money in their community.

100 m North from the Banco Nacional La Fortuna Alajuela
