A wonderful hotel. Basic and clean room. Lots of hot water in shower. Fabulous breakfast buffet by the pool, watching the birds. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful setting with many types of flowers and birds. Different places to sit and relax. Great location, close to the centre of town, which is great for travellers without cars Excellent value for the money!

Room was clean, had a safe, pool was a good size, breakfast included was good and the free entrance to the hot springs at their sister hotel Volcano Lodge was a nice plus. Front desk and breakfast staff were quite lovely, we enjoyed our stay. I'm a light sleeper so I was awaken when someone was checking out around 6am but my room was next to the entrance so theres that! We would stay again :) close proximity to everything was great.

Loved this little gem. Such a good price for an old but well maintained and comfortable stay. Great pool and breakfast, amazing location in town and loved the access to sister property. Went there every night! The street traffic can be a little noisy. Would definitely stay here again.

If you only stay in upscale 5 star - this isn't your accommodation type. The rooms have old carpeted floors so wear your shoes. Other than that- beds were comfortable and everything was clean, there is coffee and tea available 24/7 and a small bottle if wine to welcome you. Breakfast is included and it was delicious. You can use their sister property with hot spring pools free of charge and they will even lend you a towel! The place has an area to shower and change for guests from San Bosco.

For the price, this is a nice little hotel with very friendly staff, right in the middle of town. The room was simple and clean, nothing fancy. And we spent an evening at the hot springs of their sister hotel. It was perfect for what we needed, no complaints.

Very nice property just meters from downtown area. Easy to access restaurants and shops. There was access to a sister property that had hotsprings that we didn’t, take advantage of.

Great stay!

This hotel was a great choice. The included breakfast was amazing, it’s very centrally located AND the free use of hot springs at their sister hotel was an incredible added bonus. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the grounds were well-kept and clean. We would definitely go back and stay again.

The property was wonderful. It’s located in downtown La fortuna so all restaurants and shops are a short walk. It was quiet and the rooms comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The added perk was they gave you complimentary access to the volcano lodge hot springs which we enjoyed. Parking was easy and the staff was friendly. I would recommend staying here

6/10 Good

It was nothing special but then a decent price so you get what you pay for. Our room was very dark and painted brown so made it darker and bit dismal. Felt more like a motel, but the breakfast was good.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was in a great location, a few minutes walk to the main area full of shops and restaurants. The property itself is great value for money, it has an older feel and room quite small but that did not bother us at all, we really felt comfortable staying there and loved the seating areas outside each room to relax in. A higher floor had chairs facing the volcano which was fabulous. Pool was brilliant and perfect temperature. Breakfast was lovely and plenty of choice. Tea and coffee available whenever we wanted it. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. We booked tours through the hotel too which were a great price. One great perk is that you get use of their sister hotel Volcano Lodge where there’s a lovely pool and hot springs. Definitely need to take advantage of this, the gardens there are beautiful to walk round and we had an amazing afternoon there. Overall an absolutely great hotel to stay at, would highly recommend

4/10 Fair

We’ve stayed here twice now and there’s things we love and things that weren’t our favorite that we accepted as it is a budget friendly hotel, but there was one thing that occurred this time we just couldn’t look past that will have us looking elsewhere if we find ourselves back in La fortuna in the future. Pros: amazing location (next to the best sushi place in town), wonderful friendly staff, really good free breakfast, access to their sister hotel that has hot spring pools and a wet bar which we really enjoyed. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff here. Cons: they do not have blankets on the beds, only sheets. Not the worst but not very comfortable, but again, very budget friendly hotel so we felt this was tolerable. Beds aren’t very comfortable and lighting is super harsh which again.. is not ideal but completely fine for the price. Deal breaker: cockroaches in the room. Not just one. But three. Not just on the ground, but one of them was found crawling ON US in bed in the middle of the night. Overall, if it weren’t for the roaches, we’d recommend because for the cost, the pros outweigh the cons… but we just can’t look past the roaches.

Bosco Inn was well located. It was clean and comfortable. We were able to get room for 3, with 3 beds. Breakfast was delicious! Added plus we were able to go to use Thermal pools at their sister property- Volcano Lodge, for free. That was great!
