We went to Forest Dreams, a small walk outside the centre. The little walk is worth it. We had good en comfortable rooms and beds, a good bathroom and a good breakfast. Comparing to the price, this was more than we were used to in Costa Rica. The service was also very relaxing and easy. Just go to Chris or Edgar (the two we met), they are very friendly and helpfull! Conclusion: I would recommend Forest Dreams, we had a great time there!

“Helpful and genuine receptionist who gave us tips despite not staying there”

We booked to stay elsewhere and went for a walk. Ended up asking the receptionist at Forest Dreams Hotel who gave us warm, genuine tips and even told us to mention we stayed at their place so we could get a discount at one of the best local restaurants.

“Clean, good value, but very rustic hotel”

I feel the need to temper the reviews here a bit. First, let me focus on the positives. The guys that work in reception are super nice and helpful.

I feel the need to temper the reviews here a bit. First, let me focus on the positives. The guys that work in reception are super nice and helpful. I would also say that the rooms were perfectly clean and the hotel is a good value. However, I think it’s important that any prospective traveler consider the following: 1. The hotel is very rustic. 2. The reception is only open from about 8am to 7pm. After that, there is no one there to handle any needs, although I suspect there would be a way to reach the managers by phone in an emergency. 3. The rooms vary greatly in size and quality. Those pictured on TripAdvisor are the better ones. We had two rooms for our family. The room my wife and I shared was a rustic bedroom marginally larger than the bed and a bathroom that while clean, could have used a renovation. Our kids’ room, on the second floor, had no windows other than in their bathroom, and the beds were much more firm than the kids were used to. Other rooms at the hotel are more spacious. 4. The roof of the hotel is metal, which means when it rained, it sounded like we were inside a popcorn maker. I have to admit that the place grew on me after a day or so. One thing that was very cool was that the hotel was off the main road and situated among a series of family homes. The setting allowed us to get a glimpse of how the locals live, including watching a handful of young kids playing soccer in the dirt street outside the hotel. All in all, if you are looking for a clean, albeit rustic, very inexpensive hotel in Monteverde, this hotel is a fine choice. But bring shampoo—they don’t provide it.
