Great price and impressive service
We were impressed with the how clean and how extremely helpful and nice the entire staff was. Breakfast was more than hopped for. Room was basic but clean and AC worked nicely. If you are on a budget, you get more than you pay for here. Thanks again to the entire staff at La Choza for a wonderful stay.

Clean safe budget option
Great budget option in La Fortuna with a few private rooms (it's actually a hostel). I stayed in a private room. Clean, typical breakfast and coffee, and friendly staff. And easy walking distance to bars and restaurants.

4/10 Fair

There is nothing really bad about this property... but it is still about a 2-3 star place to stay. Cheap mattresses, cheap bedding, and an old building. No hot water for showers of course. On the other hand, it has a nice hostel feel.
