Detailed Reviews
Booked 4 nights, We loved it so much we changed our plans and stayed for 5.
Everything was great, beds were super comfy. Unlimited hot water, in room safe, fridge, and AC that blew cold when needed.
Only negative was road noise, but it is pretty hard to get away from that anywhere in the downtown area. Plans are in place to rectify, but in the meantime ear plugs are available if you are a light sleeper
The place is very clean. No coffee maker in the room but it is available every morning by 7am in the lobby.
Rocio, the lady who runs the place is an absolute joy to be around,and goes out of her way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. She will give you honest advise on tours and only recommends things that she has actually done herself, and with pictures to show what it was actually like. Zero pressure to book anything. It was our anniversary one day and Rocio even had our room decorated when we returned from our tour.
Wouldn't look elsewhere if we return.

The hotel is in good downtown location, close to the bus station, supermarket and restaurants. Good value for money. There is road noise as other reviewers pointed out. But I still gave it top mark because of Rocio’s service. She is super nice. We missed our flight and didn’t get to La Fortuna for the first night. The booking was non-cancellable. But she kindly moved it to a later date for us to minimize our trip delay damage. She gave us good advice on booking tours as she had been to many of them herself. We booked a zip-line tour with discount through her and was able to enjoy the waterfall as well on the same trip! On our last day, she gave us a ride to the Campesino Farm Tour and did the translation for us. We fully enjoyed this nature and cultural tour as well. Thanks Rocio! We will stay here again next time we are in La Fortuna.

The location of this is great and considering it's so close to the main road the room was pretty quiet. This is a perfect place on a budget that isn't top rowdy. There are hostels and bars all around and at first we were worried it would be loud. Apart from a few motorcycles it was quiet. The AC was great and the staff was so kind and accommodating. This was a great place to stay if you're looking for something budget friendly in La Fortuna.

This hotel suited our needs very well. It is small, in a busy area, but very clean, and the staff was very accommodating.
It reminds me of many small hotels in Europe. Basic accommodations at a good price.
Beds were comfy. the room was big and had a view of the volcano. A/C was working.
Due to covid, there was no servicing of the room during the day, but that was okay with us.
One thing...I would like a better feeling when it came to room security. There was only a lock in the doorknob, which I didn't feel absolutely secure about.

I loved my stay in La Fortuna at Regina Hotel! It is centrally located and Rocio was so helpful. She gave me so many tips on what to do in La Fortuna and even gave me tips on what to do in my next location, Monteverde. She even got me into Tabacon Hot Springs even when it was sold out! I highly recommend this hotel!

Excellent local hotel right in the heart of La Fortuna. The people who run this hotel are amazing, friendly, helpful and gave us great recommendations for dinner.
We were on the front of the hotel so was a little noisy but we had no problem sleeping. Air conditioner was excellent.
Thank you for a wonderful visit to La Fortuna.

Nice hotel, just what I was looking for, quiet, clean, nice people, nice facility, in-line hot water, so you never run out, good wifi. Right in the middle of the action, close to bars, restaurants, attractions. Nice view of the volcano from upstairs.

I reserved this hotel directly on the hotel’s website and reconfirmed the room a few days before departure.
Upon arrival, I was welcomed by Rocio at the front desk, explained the basics and showed to my room. The room was fairly big, clean and very bright. It was furnished with two queen beds, table with stools and a long counter with some kitchen apparel and kitchen sink (which I did not use) and a closet. The bathroom was a bit dark but well kept and everything was working fine. The shower was the typical electric one and there were a few wires sticking out and making me feel a bit nervous (this was before travelling a few more days and realizing it was a regular thing in CR). The room had also airco, a tv (which I didn’t use) and a safe. The room had also a large window with a fantastic view of the volcano.
The hotel is located on the main road, which is a plus for the proximity to bars, restaurants and shops, but, at the same time, a huge drawback due to the very loud traffic noise. I did read about this before leaving and was somewhat prepared (I had earplugs) but have to admit that the noise was continuous during the whole night and louder than expected. The staff was always quite pleasant and ready to answer questions and the room was serviced daily. Breakfast was not included.
I was satisfied with this choice as it offers an excellent price quality ratio but the traffic noise should be really taken into consideration.

We stayed 2 nights in Hotel Regina. The hotel was very clean and the beds were comfortable. A fridge is provided. The water in the bathroom was cold initially---BUT--if you only turn the shower faucet 1 or 2 turns (and not all the way to the left) then the water is warmer. The lady at the front desk was fantastic and gave us great customer service. We had a tour leaving at 1 and arrived at the hotel starving at 12:15. She came with us across the street to the restaurant and asked them to get started on fajitas while we put our luggage in our rooms so that we could eat but still make our tour on time.
