Josimar met us at the office and went out of his way to be helpful. Although the room was small, and pooly lighted, everything else was excellent. The eggs at breakfast were cooked to order, the pool was imaculate and the water warm. Grounds were full of floral plantings and were well maintained. Location was in the center of town... More

Hotel San Bosco is spotlessly clean; the staff is professional and polite and they speak English. The grounds are immaculate. We had a budget room, nothing fancy, but it was so clean you could eat off the floor. Great location, off the main street but only a couple of blocks to everything. Very secure and quiet. Couldn't ask for more... More

This is a good in-town alternative to the high-priced resorts on the highway leading to Volcan Arenal. It's got a secure, courtyard layout. The rooms are spare but clean. Price is reasonable. Breakfast wasexcellent. WiFi worked only intermittently. More

The Hotel San Bosco is located in the center of La Fortuna within walkin distance of the majority of the bars and restaurants in the area. The hotel is about a 20min drive to the Arenal attractions which is very convenient. The hotel itself has somewhat dated rooms, but they are very clean and well maintained. Each morning an expansive... More

Great rooms, luxury is not part of their priorities, however the price does not compare to the great attention and charisma of their staff, breakfast is included which (by the way) was very good! Totally recommended. More

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel in La Fortuna. We had no problem checking in at 6PM, our room was available and ready. The receptionists are very friendly and spoke English very well. Our room was a bit small, one double and twin bed and a bathroom, but it was expected - anyway we did not spend a lot... More

despite a great location and lovely gardens the cabin we had was not clean the sheets were dirty with no undersheets on the mattress, hard lumpy pillows, which smelt, again with no under pillow cases. A friend in a nearby cabin had a scorpion in his room, which he killed but was not removed. Food in evenings diappointing. Opportunities for... More

Title says it all...located a block away from the center of town and within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, etc. The hotel rooms are just okay, on the cheaper side and a lot of families tend to stay at the hotel. Free breakfast in the morning is decent but overall being located close to downtown was most important.... More

Small basic hotel good value for the money. If you are looking for a modern room with all the amenities the San Bosco is not for you, However, if you need a room for a couple days while you explore the area this hotel is perfect. Very nice pool area and the breakfast was good and included in the price... More
